I look at it as at this point in time it is going to take more work to get people signed up, not that there isn't many names left. That's basically what I was getting at. It's going to take a lot more to find big name stars who aren't signed to an exclusive deal already or who won't ask for huge sums of money (Flair, Hogan, Bret Hart, Bruno, and dozens of legends under WWE contract are off-limits, for instance). While getting huge stars from the 60s, 50s, or eariler would keep a lot of us happy, there has to be more bankable mainstream names to make it worthwhile to produce an entire set. I have no doubt there's a wealth of Mexican and Japanese talent out there who would agree to a deal, but that would take the aforementioned extra work to get done. Extra work=extra time. |

We know that Tom will have a new LOW edition in the summer of 2009 and thats very cool, I know that the SIX new SE's that will be released this month will hold us over but talking about who we want to see and what not can't hurt...
I've looked over some wrestlers that might have a chance making this edition and one stands out for me right now and that is Bill Demott, I really liked him from his debut and I would really like to see him in the set.

Couple guys I've been thinking about lately, more so for there characters than their abilities.......Vampiro and Raven. Would love both of those guys as well as Gangrel. I could have a lot of fun with those three guys.

The peanut gallery comments from board members aside, LOTF is just as important as LOW. In the regional era, the guys who competed were on the level of today's indy stars. There was just regional tv and guys worked their way up the ladder by staying in the region. No national tours existed. Same basic setup for today's indys for the most part.
And for those who dump on LOTF, where in the heck did today's stars come from? Indy's. Cena, HHH, Joe, Styles, etc., all earned their stripes on the Indy circuit. Sorry guys, but that is a point you cannot refute. And someday we will see today's stars as "legends."

If you don't support LOTF Ty, you have a real easy choice to make.
LOW and LOTF are both ALOT of fun and will always be equal in my book.

We're beating a dead horse about LOTF over LOW and vice versa, I think there is room for both and we are getting the BEST OF BOTH WORLDS gentlemen...

If you don't support LOTF Ty, you have a real easy choice to make. Huh? No offense, but I have no idea where you got the idea that Ty States doesn't support LOTF. In fact, didn't Ty States even write the stats for April Hunter and another one of the recent LE/SE LOTF cards? |

To say LOTF is not equal to a LOW release is essentially saying LOTF is somehow a subset. Hardly a compliment to the folks who worked real hard on putting out a darn fine set.
But as my good friend CC said, time to let this argument rest.

I think both sets are equally as important. As LOW celebrates the talent of our generation and even before. Where LOTF is the next generations superstars. Saying that one doesn't have just as much merit is BS.
The Legends are getting harder and harder to sign due to bad deals and being used over the years and they get gun shy when approached about some little card game with pretty pictures on one side and all these stats on the back. Most are very embittered over the years.
However you have a New Generation that are looking for ways to generation interest in them and the indy work they do and some are even fans of Filsinger's work and therefore feel honoured to have a card done for them or to even be recognized as a Legend of the Future when with some of these guys their careers are still to really take off.
It is one thing to not be interested in the new generation of Future Superstars but to say that the Legends of the Future is not as important as the Legends of Wrestling game is an insult.
