Well it's still 4 tourneys that will have GWF cards so I think it works out.

3 GWF ones for sure. I guess the hardcore tournament is up in the air. I'd like to see that be an Indy tournament with a CZW influence. Hence, Tournament of Death.

when you already have the King of the Indys tourney and just 9 CZW guys (and Adam Cole is stretching it even though he clearly wrestles for them) Well, it's your guys choice of course, but I'd prefer variety if I was doing so.

I don't really know any stars from CZW or really any of the Indy feds that might qualify. I'd like Hardcore to remain true to its roots with COTG/aCe/CPC-POW with the occasional LOW star tossed in the mix,but I'd be willing to substitute any of the Indy stars as a switch out from LOW if they meet the criteria

How can there be nobody from CZW that can qualify for a Hardcore tournament? Thats a bit ridiculous. Regardless, I'm cool with the majority of guys being from COTG, but I think having a good chunk from LOW and Indys would be good.

Good question TM.

[Nathan Wylde]

again, I state, "I don't really know any stars from CZW or really any of the Indy feds that might qualify". I said I would be willing to swap out LOW for CZW,ROH,Chikara,NWA Hollywood or any of the other Indy sets that came out if someone wants to send me the stats. You know someone in CZW or others that would make it?! Great-let me see the stats. I need to compile a list and get some stars fully in mind to start setting things up, so I'm not trying to throw things together last minute!

although I won't be at Galacticon since I live on the other side of the country, some of the Indy cards I would personally recommend in particular for a Hardcore tournament:

Masada (has won 3 Tournament of Deaths, also a former King of the Deathmatch winner)

Danny Havoc (has won both Tournament of Death and the Carnage Cup)

Drake Younger (has won both Tournament of Death and King of the Deathmatch)

Necro Butcher (I think he has won all 3 of these- Tournament of Death, King of the Deathmatch, and the Carnage Cup?)

those are not card stats that I think you are asking for, but they are examples of real life success in hardcore tournaments by some of the Indy wrestlers with cards released

[Nathan Wylde]

those are great examples, and I think that Necro Butcher might qualify, I'm not sure about the others-still need to see the cards unfortunately. Thanks, though

[TTX]

By your hardcore rules, Kevin, all 3 guys qualify.

Here are the other Chikara/ROH guys who fit 2 of the categories
Kodama
Jimmy Jacobs (hits all 4 categories...only Ricken Prince had done this before)
Mark Briscoe
Rhino
Steve Corino
Delirious

Several have one of the categories (usually cage)

[Nathan Wylde]

Thought Mark Briscoe was a tag wrestler with his brother-he does singles?! anyways, good to know-will have to add them to the list! Thanks!
