About 2 years ago, I considered the Briscoe Brothers the best tag team in indy wrestling (they are still great, but I think the distinction goes to British Lions and the Dark City Fight Club). Personally, I think Kenny King is one of the top 5 breakout stars of 2010. I am a huge fan of his and I am pretty disappointed that he will not be in the set. I hope he is a LotF LE card at Galacticon. Austin Ares has been a mainstay in indy wrestling for a while. He also had a cup of coffee with TNA before he was let go for (almost) missing a show (if I remember the story correctly). While I haven’t been a huge fan of the Austin Ares character, the guy can really go in the ring. He has one of the best clotheslines in the business. As for MsChif, I am not a fan. She looks like an imitation of Daffney, to me. As far as her ring work, she isn’t terrible (especially compared to the Divas we see every week). However, she is far behind Kong and Sara Del Rey (who have carried her to good, brutal, matches). Her transitions are really awkward at times. I don’t know much about her training, but she has potential. Really have to change that “indy” look though. BTW, this are all my opinions. Feel free to disagree. I agree with everything you said except the best team in Indy wrestling part. I don't follow the indies enough, but if I had to, I'd go with the American Wolves. Despite my dislike for Davey Richards, they did have a great match with the Young Bucks on HDNet that was better than either of Davey's matches with KENTA and Shingo from last year that people seemed to love. I have to agree that the Wolves are up there as well. Davey Richards seems to be the IWCs indy darling of 2010. I think he is overrated (and here comes all the flame). I just think, for a technical/strong style wrestler, he botches way too many moves. His intensity is addictive, and he has some brutal kicks. But I don't find him very believable. I know it may be a little prejudice, but I think some of it has to do with his height. Again, all my opinion. Would I like to see him in LotF? Yeah, I would. But, as a promoter, I wouldn't push him over Brent Albright or Bryan Danielson (who both have the same style). |

As far as the MsChif-Daffney comparison, it really only goes to the screaming. The look, green hair, MsChif had that going before Daffney. Then they paired them up for awhile in Shimmer.

But, as a promoter, I wouldn't push him over Brent Albright or Bryan Danielson (who both have the same style). No, I agree that Davey's incredibly overrated. Everybody ready? It's another fun filled edition of "I hate on Davey Richards and I'll probably anger someone with this rant": Davey's botches aren't a problem, everyone does. It's the fact that no matter what, or who he's against, he never changes anything. Now, I've got Cena and Batista in my signature, and the Indy bots LOVE to hate on Cena because "LOL SAME OLD SH-T", but Richards is far worse with it. It's the same layout with very little variation, but he's "the new Bryan Danielson"? Give me a friggin' break. Let's run down the matches people praised the hell out of from 2009: - Davey vs. KENTA: A good match at best, was the case of the Indy fans ruining it by spewing stupid chants and just being ROH fans. Wasn't near Match of the Year, especially when matches like Undertaker/Shawn, Punk/Hardy TLC, Mesias/Wagner from TripleMania, Jericho/Mysterio...any of their matches happened last year. - Davey vs. Shingo: Another good match, but good was about it. People said this was another Match of the Year Candidate. They were wrong. Was almost the exact same match as the match with KENTA, except the crowd wasn't near as disgusting. - Wolves vs. Bucks: Awesome match, I can't even hate on it. Probably the best tag match I saw last year. Again, I don't like Davey, but I'll give credit where credit is due, he and the others did a fantastic job here. Just a quick note about the crowd. If you were in attendance for any of these matches, don't take offense to this. Actually, if you do, it doesn't matter. The ROH crowd continues to turn my stomach in every conceivable way. From their condescending attitudes, to the way they think everything they see is better than what's on TV because IT'S NOT MAINSTREAM~, to they way they look down on people who don't care for that kind of wrestling, and it's effing pathetic. I wouldn't get half as angry about them being morons if they didn't try to act like they were so g-ddamn superior to everyone else. They make me physically ill. I've noticed that old ECW fans are people I'd like to sit in the same room with, where the ROHbots are more like people I'd like to set fire to. One for three. Hmm...some contender for Best in the World, eh? Again, this is just my opinion. If you don't agree with it, I really don't care, but don't proceed to come on here and act like I just violently attacked your family by saying something bad about Davey Richards and want to argue with me about how great he is, again, I really don't care. It's that kind of crap that makes the wrestling community, not just on the internet, but everywhere, look stupid. [/rant], [/ramble would be more appropriate] |

Guys....PLEASE keep this to discussion of who's actually in the set!! There's a speculation thread for all speculation talk. This thread is just for a clean list of announced wrestlers and discussion of those wrestlers. We don't want to confuse people as to who IS or IS NOT in the set.
Thanks!

Coming tomorrow...you can add to this list, as we start "Future Fridays"! Each week on Friday we'll announce 1 or 2 members of the LOTF3 roster.
Also in the next Promoter, you will learn some more names as well!

Any chance of maybe getting some LOW LE/SEs released at Galacticon as well?

New names are always welcome! I mean, if Kenny King / MsChif were battling it out for the last slot in the set, I can only imagine who will be joining Aries and The Briscoes.
