I think Top Star is the catch.
Danielson is what I'd refer to as the top guy...in the minor leagues. Great, but that doesn't mean much against the big league talent. (Yeah, he could probably compete against them, but it's not happenign so it's a moot point)

In the end this looks like good solid set and I really like having the Small People added to the wrestling history mix...

It's a good signing. Plus, there are still 3 more left!! (Also, I think 2 additional LE's)

I like it. With Exotic Adrian Street and One Man Gang already in, anyone else is just extra to me. Danielson will match up nicely with many of the legends in the game and will make an awesome addition to any LOTF fed. The crossover appeal is there to get people who only play LOW to jump on LOTF, and vice-versa.
Dr. Cube is the one I don't see using anytime soon. I'll buy it and maybe I'll have an inspiration for an idea, but he may join Louden as the other card I purchased and haven't used (yet). I could see those guys traveling over to the GWFZ in a crossover deal. If Greg Valentine can show up in the GWF I don't see why this can't happen in someone's fed.

Hey guys! I'll admit, with Bryan Danielson I took a bit of chance, it's a different concept for LEGENDS. I mean, when's the last time we had a playing card for a guy that was CURRENTLY among the top 15 active wrestlers? Or even listed as the Most Outstanding Wrestler the last three years according to very respected wrestling sources?
One year might be a flash in the pan. But the last three?
I think that's interesting and I think a lot of LEGENDS fans will agree. Let's face it, with LEGENDS ORIGINALS we're all over the place---that's the focus of this edition, UNIQUENESS!
We wanted to release a name to coincide with the news that people can pre-order just to make it more fun. Thanks for your support and keep watching! We'll have more news and announcements in the days ahead!

I like it. I definitely didn't see that one coming. Still would be fun to match up with Gotch or maybe Hodge would end up being a better match for him.
Does Danielson still use the Cattle Mutilation as his finisher? I always liked that move. One thing though...I am pretty sure he spells it Bryan instead of Brian.
So we are looking at: Bryan Danielson John Pesek Maurice Tillet Reginald Love Hartford Love One Man Gang Adrian Street Bob Roop Penny Banner
That leaves 3 left to be announced. There has got to be some more good ones in there.
Plus we have Sky Low Low & Little Beaver which is pretty sweet. These guys wont be getting a ton of time in my fed but it will be cool to throw them in once in a while.
Crossbones will be cool to team with Ultramantis Black.
Not really excited for Dr. Cube though. meh

The art is amazing! I wasn't expecting Danielson at all. I'm happy he's signed!
Was it a letdown? No. However, it was shocking!

We are getting possibly the Greatest Women Wrestler of all time and not one but the two greatest midgets of all time (course now we will want Lord Littlebrook and Billy The Kid to complete the set ....and calling ROH the minor leagues is a little unfair.......I;m as old school as they come....but some of our greatest legends came out of the Territories like Memphis, AWA(Mid-West) and my beloved WWF (Northeast) which by todays standards were no bigger then ROH.... We are getting the 12th besy wrestler in the world only this time before he goes " big league" and becomes untouchable due to licensing agreements......This is a major coup.... Heck, I was routing for Billy Graham (or Hart, or Foley, or Lawler) ...... I just have to work him in a little differently then planned, We have our first Pre-Legend..... Plus with Adrian Street (A true legend) and still the hope of Pampero Firpo........ I am happy....... What's more disturbing is that my brother (Count Necros) predicted the midget cards and Penny Banner

Cool, we got Danielson.
I don't know yet as I'm keeping an open mind and thinking about possibilities, but I might first put him in my LOTF fed Minor League Wrestling and then later promote him to my LOW fed Major League Wrestling.
Out of curiosity, Tournament Master on a previous post mentioned that someone from the CHIKARA show he attended had signed and would be in the next LOW set. Was that Danielson or is it someone still to be/already been named for Legends Originals?
