I want to know from someone who is/was there if we got the RVD artwork we all voted for here on the boards.
just got back from Jamestown. The art for RVD is the one we voted on. The Gencon card will be one of the others.
Osk told the story of how easy it was dealing with RVD. It just started as a myspace message letting him know that we already have Sabu and the Sheik and would he be interested. RVD responded "what do I need to do?". Easy as that
RVD also gave Fonzie's phone number, so hopefully something comes of that.
Other than that the art is great! Both the LOW and GWF sets no longer have names on the front, Tom didn't like that the name blocks have been covering up such nice art.
so my card by card thoughts:
RVD - like I said it's the pic we voted on. His stats are great as long as he doesn't get DQed
One Man Gang - again, this art has been posted already. he has a +4 finisher but it only hits on evens
Al Snow - once again, arts been posted already. Stat wise it's about what you would expect. SNOW PLOW +1, Smash with Head -3 Add 1 (DQ)
Brian Danielson - arts already been posted, this card may do better then I thought. He will definitely dominated LOTF and hold his own prettyy well with the legends. Has a setup move called Final countdown that may turn into one of 6 different moves.
D'Lo Brown - card art is horizontal, with chest protector. Looks nice... he will crush Koko.
John Pesek - basic old school pic, Tom said it was hard to get a good pic of the guy. Has 2 finishers and what looks to be a pretty solid defense. He may do pretty well for me.
Adrian Street - the art for this is awesome, with one thing missing. Miss Linda is NOT pictured with him, she is listed on the back as having a distractor rating though.
French Angel - arts been posted, should be a solid midcard guy.
Love Brother's - Hartford's art along with Street's maybe my favorite in the set, Reginald's is probably my least favorite but it's still pretty damn good. They should far pretty well as a tag team with Reginald having 3 offensive tag moves and Hartford having 2 they will be tagging in and out alot.
Penny Banner - I've noticed the artist is liking to do full body shots. Anyhow Penny looks great and will most likely stop Sherri Martel's reign as the dominate female in my fed.
Bob Roop - nothing flashy art wise but for some reason I love this card.
the Midgets - look cool, hopefully we can get a few more down the road.
Crossbones - I really like the look of this card
Dr. Cube - card looks cool. His mask may fall off during the match. I'm not really familier with KBB but I think he should have a distractor rating on his card but he doesn't.
um, thats about it... RVD is on the cover of the booklet hold the ECW TV Title.
Boris Zhukov and Austin Aries were the only names we were told, everything seemed kinda secretive and not wanting to name anyone else. Tom did say that there were no really big names signed at the moment. There was a BIG name that Tom called and left a message for and this guy called back and left a rather long and entertaining message for Tom... Nitro recreated the phone call for us with his impression of the superstar.
I really don't want to name names since it would just set us up for a let down but I'm sure someone else will post it.
that's about all i can think of, if I can think of anything else I'll post it.
