Ms. Liberty took her leave in 2108. Which would mean that he was born somewhere around then. Even if it was mid 2107, we're not even close to mid 2124, so I would say he's not quite 17 yet. Nevertheless, I would hardly count Karah's Son of Bash card as setting a precedent. The Bash card was thrown out there as a way to implement some unused Wildcat artwork. He didn't actually officially join the GWF until 2-3 years later. When Manslaughter entered at the age of 19 there was a lot of hoopla about him coming in so early. So I don't think there is a precendent. I think there are some exceptions.
My point is, I think there is too much present history that needs to addressed, and if I were writing this game, I don't think I'd want to pile on past events. Like I said, maybe a few years down the line some sense could be made of it. If it does, I hope it's good becuase, like I said, U.S. Patriot wrestled for 24 years and never was really a contender for anything. He was always a minor player on every team he was a member of.
I'd much rather see Epoch return and a brand new American wrestler who is completely unique, and who's heritage is only incedentially American. Not a wrestler with the words stars, stripes, red, white, blue, American, freedom, liberty, patriot, apple pie, or any other stereotypical American term in his name. With all of the great characters this game has seen, I don't understand why all of the American wrestlers had to be so generic.

I understand that there is a lot going on in the GWF at this time, but I also believe you lose some of the story if you just go back to 2119. I think you have to include the past with present and keep stories going. So a son of Adam Blast and Mrs. Liberty would be a welcome addition to the GWF universe. I think they could make his son a top flight wrestler and make him a contender unlike his dad.

It's been done more than enough--Sam, Patriot, Ms. Liberty, and the truly loathsome Stars & Stripes (especially U.S.Male. I detest him). Another Earth wrestler is fine, but not another explicitly American one--unless he's Native American and speaks out about the past crimes of the American government. That would be cool. In fact, I think I'll write that one up for LWPD's current Lost-Found Stars contest.

I have a new twist on the whole situation. How about Adam Blasts son with a group from Earth as an Earth Defense Squad. Let the group consist of Adam Blasts son, a tag team from lets say Russia, and another wrestler from another country like Canada, France, Australia, or any other country. I believe build the team around Adam Blasts son. If anybody else has any ideas post them on other suggestions on the team from Earth. Suggest ideas for tag teams and another wrestler to represnt the group.

Kveiceman, I'll have to fiind the thread on the last board, but I pushed like crazy for an All-Earth card set several years ago. Sadly, it and my Bear Ani-Man ide are still in limbo (but your suggestion here means I'm not alone!!).
I'm going to make another suggestion for card(s) here, and I must say I am completly passionate about this one. At the risk of being invited to the Whitehouse for beer, I'd really love to see one of these All-American heroes be Black/Latino. Virtually everyone (of the males) so far has been White with blonde hair.
As a means of breaking the mold, I made my U.S. Male a Latino.
No, this is not my attempt at either crying in-game racism or attacking whites. As a former Marine who hails from a family with two other soldiers, a nurse, a policeman and two teachers, I feel like I'm (part of the) living proof Blacks (and Latinos, and Asians, etc.) can be patriots who love and protect the ideals of their country. I'd like to see at least a bit of that in this game. Look no further than Lt. General Russel Honore for the inspirational example for the card.

Aethrapocolypse, I like what you are saying. I just think that the GWF needs an all Earth squad not just an all American squad. That is why I but the suggestion for a squad made up of two singles wrestlers and a tag team. I just believe that one of the single stars needs to be Adam Blasts son and the other single wrestler be from another country or another American. I also agree that a black or latino representative needs to be in the GWF. I personally would like to see a tag team from Russia in the mold of Nikita and Ivan Koloff.

Pride was a wrestler created by Payback for Promoter Madness SuperNatural X At the risk of sounding stupid when was their son born ? I think he wouldn't be old enough to wrestle yet. What about one from canada ?

Mike Fortune and Scion Nexus were Canadian, but we could always use another.

I think it needs to be an all Earth squad. The dynamic would be a lot more fun that way. As per Adam Jr., Ms. Liberty said his name was Adam as I recall, isn't he barely a teenager? I remember Ms. Liberty came back during the End storyline right before the GWF left for Centra. So best case scenario U.S. Patriot/Traitor and Ms. Liberty's son is about 14 or 15.
