There are a couple of cards whose art I don't like.
One of them is Nick Bockwinkel's new card art. Last summer I got to meet Bockwinkel at the WWE's blast zone at the Fiesta Casino here in Las Vegas where Bockwinkel was signing autographs for fans prior to the casino and the WWE giving us a free showing of the Night of Champions PPV.
Because it was an event scheduled and announced ahead of time, Tournament Master sent me a copy of Bockwinkel's new card art to give to Bockwinkel. Bockwinkel hadn't seen his new LOW card art yet and when I gave it to him he sort of laughed and said something like he thought it looked more like him during his football days (I think he played for awhile at the University of Oklahoma).
Don't get me wrong, Bockwinkel was really cool and polite as he signed several items (including my extra LOW card of him) for free for me and even talked to me a little about my fed. But I could tell that he didn't think his new LOW card art looked too much like him in his wrestling days.

Along those lines Mr. Vegas, I didn't care for Ray Stevens card art. Usually if its a wrestler I'm not familiar with, their card art is what I have to go on visually and expect to see something similar when I look them up. Ray Stevens didn't really look like the Ray Stevens I saw when I looked up, IMO.

Yeah agree with DDP but his card dynamic is fantastic being able to hit the Cutter on Defense is hot! I don't know about "hot", but it is definately realistic

The Bockwinkle art is just stretched wrong. If they fixed that art it would be perfect. The card art I absolutely hate was the new Buddy Rogers artwork. He looks more like some character that would be in COTG than LOW. Too bad we couldn't see some replacement cards for those two.

I like the new Rogers much better than the first.
I agree about the Bockwinkel card, it just seems streched wrong otherwise I like it

I guess the new Rogers looks unfinished to me. But I know if they were to fix the image issue with the Bockwinkle card I would totally buy the card again. Or maybe in the next LOW set they just cut the losses and have him as a free reprint card that doesn't take up a slot but is added like many gaming companies that will add replacement cards to their next expansion to update the game.
But the Rogers one I really hate.

Tom Prichard. I've never really complained about cards before but I just feel his card is very lacking due to lack of a real finisher. It really hinders my Heavenly Bodies team. I get so annoyed that I can't build them because they get DQed because of that stupid DQ finisher. He did have other legit finishers that could've been used.

I tend to place wrestlers with disqualifiable finishers with a manager. That way, if they roll their finisher, I'll roll the manager's distractor rating first. If the manager distracts, they perform their finisher without fear of being disqualified. Just an idea.

I am of the same mind with Don Leo Jonathan--he never seems to do anything for me. Another wrestler that people seem to have success with and I don't is Bobo Brazil, never does seem to win. DDP for me is HUGE with that finisher on Defense, he even beat Harley Race with it.
