Wrestlers evolve. Just like in the GWF, real life wrestlers improve, become champions, go from tag to singles (and vice versa) and turn heel/face. Jay Lethal has chased the ROH World title, turned heel, and won the TV Title in the years since the box set debuted. ReDRagon regained the tag belts and established themselves as one of the top teams in wrestling. Cedric Alexander broke out from tag teams to singles. Remakes and updates are two different things. Gotta be true to ROH. Sometimes I think the LOW game (never any updates) sets the wrong tone for these new school Indy sets. These guys are still writing their legends. They aren't dead or retired. They're active and evolving every year. ROH rightfully wants these guys represented accurately in their game. A genuine question, from someone who has played CotG for 25 years, but has just recently taken an interest in LOW: Why? Why does FG choose to put out only one version of a wrestler (generally speaking, there may be exceptions that I'm not aware of) who may have portrayed multiple popular characters in their career for LOW, when they seem to be very interested in showing character change/progression in basically all other formats? I'm not taking a side on how it should be done, I'm just truly curious and was presented with the chance to ask someone who knows more than I do.

In the past they have released alternate versions of certain wrestlers as bonus cards or in the Promoter magazine.

This is a good question for Tom at GCon though. I'd like to see updates/alternate cards in low.

I've seen the Black Glove Ted Debiase card and Bad Guy Jimmy Snuka Good call. Now we need a WM3 Andre and IC Henning.

There's also only a handful of guys where it's probably worth doing for as a lot of guys are pretty much the same for their careers unless you just have to have that Sean Morley card which would be statted the same except for a few moves or really want that young Robbie V card.

Ok, so half the set are updates, BUT, much needed ones...Cedric Alexander's original card was accurate statistically, but reflected his standing in ROH at the time,which wasn't nearly where he is now. Same goes for reDRagon. Lethal now wrestles as a heel. For all those less than thrilled with this expansion pack, I'll take the bullet and be THAT guy who says he's WAY more excited to get 4 cards of guys he already has when compared to the soon-to-be released next set of Legends, whose current lineup is lackluster at best. ROH is hot right now. Honestly we could have done a 12 pack with the amount of names who can use cards. Let's show some thanks for getting 2 more than usual. We have one guy who's art and stats have been done for about a year, and who got bumped last summer for Kaz. Won't say who, but he'll be in a set during 2015 too. Never too soon to start speculating, so here's my wish list for July 2015: 1. Adam Page...FINALLY! 2. Prince Nana...also FINALLY! 3. Updated Mark Briscoe...reflecting his singles career 4. Updated Nick Jackson...much needed to reflect his current status 5. Updated Matt Jackson...see Nick Jackson 6. J. Diesel Of course, there's always the hope of a former ROH legend returning/signing a FG contract, such as Samoa Joe. (Think it's a safe bet to rule out CM Punk for the time being)

Is there a master list of which wrestlers are in which sets? The closest I have seen for a "master list" is on the FG site with a list of all of the LOW/LOTF/Indy cards (not sorted by set). filsingergames.com/find-your-favorite-wrestler/
