The LOW wiki on the CotG online site has a set list.

Cool. I'll have to take a look, even though it will lead me down the dark path of buying all the color sets.

Set looks dope with a nice variety of new guys and important updates.
As much as I liked the original ROH backgrounds and Chikara as well (stars), the Evolve and new ROH backgrounds really stand out and add a lot to each individual card. Quite a difference between these and the CZW/Hollywood (sans the new Hobo) sets that are quite bland in comparison. Now whether that's a lack of creativity, effort or monetary reasons is another story, but the quality difference in the art production is quite noticeable.
I appreciate the guys hard work (I know it's not easy) and am looking forward to this and Legends 14 showing up in my mailbox hopefully BEFORE THE 19TH!!

In defense of the CWFH/CZW sets, each one has a solid color background (white and black, respectively), which is different from all of the other colored sets which have a design unique to that wrestler. I like the solid black background for CZW as it fits the gritty fed, just as the white background helps the CWFH guys stand out a bit. |

I like the fact that all the sets have their own distinct feel. |

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. For a set edition like ROH, it should update guys to make it consistent with the product With Legends, I think you need to take their most well-known, consistent version. There are "updates" like Savage, Poffo, DiBiase, Valiant, Beefcake, online with Hennig, Race, Heenan, Bernard, etc...but I'd rather have different personas/gimmicks (Eadie as Superstar/Bolo) rather than different personalities (Handsome Jimmy/Boogie Woogie Man). Just my preference. |

The only thing I don't like about the black background for CZW is for the person that gets the pdf of the cards, if that is made available. Printing those yourself will go thru your ink in a hurry.

I like the fact that all the sets have their own distinct feel. I feel what you guys are saying and respect both of your opinions, but to me, the CZW and Hollywood backgrounds just come off as 'lazy'. I'm not saying that's how it is, only how it comes off to me. I'm also not saying that I hate them or that they're horrible or anything like that, they're just not as aesthetically pleasing to my eyes. |
