Not yet. This will be a focus this fall. The convention season has taken up alot of the staff's time this summer.

Has the Legends team been making appearances at any of the wrestling conventions this year? I know that the sales were not very good when setting up a booth or whatever at something like that but it seems that these are where the big signings come from.

It's been a hell of a long time now. I was getting kind of worried that the signings were drying up and that would be it.
It may be early but even a theme or speculation of a theme would be great since it has been so long.

Lets see if I can remember all the announced signees.
Bob Roop
Backseat Boyz
Johnny Rodz
Dick Woerhl (probably spelled wrong)
Love Brothers
JJ Dillon
So Cal Val
Chance Cordova
I feel like I am forgetting someone but that should be most of them. To me it looks like a start to a LOW set and a LOTF set.

Bob Roop and Johnny Rodz are both excellent additions. I'm surprised to hear about the signing of Rodz...he was one of the first inductees into the original incarnation of the WWF HOF and is seemingly a strong candidate to have later signed a WWE Legends Contract.
Hopefully his mid to late 70's stint will be what's represented for his card stats...and not the 'dreaded enhancement years'. During the mid 80's in the beginning of the National Expansion...solid vets from Rodz to Strongbow to Patterson to Morales...all were suddenly cast as job guys in an effort to 'build new stars'. Pros like JR put their egos aside and played their non-glorious roles exceeding well. Guys like him were a true credit to their craft and helped to lay the foundation for the next generation of stars to be 'taken seriously' and be well positioned for all the success that would follow. Hall of Famer indeed!

Chief Jay Eagle is also signed. He was a former partner of Wahoo McDaniels on the indy scene. He's only the owner of American Pro Wrestling that runs shows here in upstate SC.

Rodz was one of the very first people signed for the game from the HOF induction ceremony in 2002 but has yet to have his card done.
