I have to admit, I agree with zanysteve. There have been hundreds of wrestlers over the years, so surely at least one set a year must be possible.

Yeah this has some merit. I think that even though guys aren't "Legends" They could still be signed. I am sure there are tons of people. It is just finding the contact info that is the hardest!

I've never talked to TM or Tom or Cory; hell anyone involved in Legends but my take is..........I think the hardest part about signing Legends would be the high regard that some hold for themselves. Meaning that they want way more money/incentives then it is worth to get them signed. Not to mention that most of these guys were abused by so many promoters over their time that they are very protective. So sure; their have been thousands of wrestlers over the years but how many fall into one of these categories?

Understandable and a great point as well. However, I think being able to show guys like Race and Bockwinkel, who are highly respected in the business have signed, it would be helpful
I was also thinking, if Tom could get a few of the people signed to Legends to release a special video promoting the game it would help others get signed

It is a little disappointing that we are not getting another Legends set this year. It would be nice if over time Legends gets a regular release date even if that means cutting down the amount of wrestlers per set. I think a LOTF and a LOW set a year would really hold us over and the odd SE cards for those wrestlers/talent that don't really befit a specific themed set.
Looking forward to the LOW SE cards but I just don't want to see LOW disappear but if it happens we have some great stars in the official cards and the amount of top notch Bootlegs will keep the fan base going (whether your into bootlegs or not).

I think the issue with LOW is far more than just wrestlers. In fact I don't think the amount of wrestlers is really the issue. (or to put it another way, I don't think we'd be getting more sets if it was 8 wrestlers rather than 12.) I think the issue is more that there's a lot going on with the company as a whole and their is limited time to do it all. LOW is pretty easy to put on the backburner as it does not have a consistent schedule. Look at the schedule right now: aCe, PM3 and POW are all due to be released plus WarGames is past due for release as well as the CAC function. Once things slow down a bit (especially with PM finishing up) I think LOW can and will get more attention and sets.

It is stated that once ELECTION DAZE is done, Tom will have more time to focus on getting guys signed and what not for LOW, which is good. I think overall we need to continue to have strong voice that there is SUPPORT for the Legends side of Filsinger Games...

I'll believe it when I see it. Nothing for LOW in the past few years has been released on time.

Sry but I just can't believe the constant complaining that has been done in this and other threads about when or if more Legends stuff will be released.
Honestly, most of us are at the age that do we really need to hear something about it constantly? I like hearing news about who has been signed and what the next set will be called as much as the next guy. But most of what I'm see in these threads has a little selfish nature to it.
I'm quite sure when something is ready to be told, then it will be. But don't you think that the constant complaining is going to eventually get to the guys in charge? They may not say anything about it but I'm sure it will.
For twenty years, Filsinger Games has been anything but normal. Whos to say that the "norm" has to be a set every year?

Why not a set every year? Money is money and if the fans want it and if it can be done then make it happen. Where is the issue in that?
