I forgot to mention how happy I am with all of the art so far including Danielson's. This set looks like it will have the best art of any set thus far. I much prefer the more realistic style of LOW than LOTF's more cartoony look. I wish LOTF went more realistic. I know it was intentional and all but just stating my preference.

So we are looking at: Bryan Danielson John Pesek Maurice Tillet Reginald Love Hartford Love One Man Gang Adrian Street That leaves 5 left to be announced. There has got to be some more good ones in there. Also in the set are Penny Banner and Bob Roop, so there are only 3 left unannounced.

I shouldn't be doing this, I should go to bed, but I want to add to a comment about disrespecting feds that don't have big TV deals.
I agree wholeheartedly with that sentiment. As a fan of old school wrestling I look at these "minor" feds like Ring of Honor as I did the smaller territories of the old days.
As a fan of Detroit wrestling, which didn't even have a name like NWA or AWA or WWWF, just "big-time wrestling," the wrestlers were all but ignored even though we look back at them now as "legends." I'd go to the store to get the national wrestling magazines and I'd look for news or articles about the Sheik and Johnny Valentine and my favorites and there was practically nothing. It was all about the WWWF, NWA, and feds like that and the wrestlers covered were Bruno Sammartino, Harley Race, over and over again.
We define bigness today in terms of TV deals but the result is the same, guys in the smaller feds don't get the respect they deserve. They are labeled as "indy" and marginalized.
Boy, I better stop talking and get to bed. I'm fast becoming a rambling bore....
Good night everyone! Keep watching for more updates and while I'm gone...party on!

Also don't confuse national tv with "good" and indy or local as "bad". Lots of good wrestling under the radar, a whole lot of bad on televisions around the world every week.
