Legends Color Revisions

[Chad Olson]

With the announcement of Mr. Perfect last night, I saw a few posts voicing concern over his Turnbuckle Rating of "C". When creating that card, he was given that rating to reflect that fact that he'd take that huge bump where he'd fly out of the ring in almost every match. I had never heard that much feedback regarding his rating. (I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with LOW Color!)

With Legends entering the color age, I'd like this thread to be a place where people can voice their concerns about the stats of prior cards, so we can revisit and perhaps revise them more before they are released again in color. Two rules:

1. We know you hate Brody's "down-3" on L2D and Bob Orton's power rating. I know it was the worst thing that's ever happened in your life. You don't need to tell us again.
2. All comments need to be constructive. Don't tell us "Jushin Liger sucks". Tell us why he doesn't work for you. He always gets stuck on L2O, he can't hit his finisher, etc.

Thanks for participating. I look forward to thoughtful discussion on this matter. In the end, we're all a passionate bunch of promoters and we all want to make LOW better.

I might be the only person who hasn't told you how much I HATE that down - 3 on Brody's Level 2 Defense. I hate it, btw.

As for suggestions, here's what I've got right now off the top of my head.
- I've always thought Steve Williams' Backdrop Driver should have been an alternate finisher as opposed to just an Add 1 you could do on a dice roll. It was his finisher for what was arguably the biggest run of his entire career, I think it deserves to be represented as one.
- I know it's probably too late for this, but Duggan having a 7(4) Pin has always bugged me. Really limited how much he could do in terms of proression up the card.

I'll probably jump back in when more people have commented, though!

Duggan definitely could use a PIN 6 (3) and Flying Spear as a +2 finisher in my mind. Ray Stevens probably needs a decent upgrade as his card just doesn't seem to reflect his long run as a high level guy. And I don't know if it will ever happen but since Buddy Rose's main run was in Portland, why his finisher can't be the Backbreaker instead of Bombs Away.

Hennig's TB rating never bothered me as much as two Counter-1's on L2 Defense. That always annoyed me as those wrestlers tended to have the most boring matches in my fed.

[TTX]

Wouldn't be so bad if he had a level 3 move on level 1 offense, but you combine those two, yeah, it can be long.

I always remember the White Russian Legsweep as Sandman's finisher as opposed to the DDT that is currently on his BW card.

Sandman could maybe also go up a bit by Rahl.From 20 to 25-27.
And i would really want to get a new Card for Sabu )

Currently im still messing around with Ultra Quick Wrestling.The Idea is something similar to Champions.I think the first aproach was to play the Sets one after another.Like GWF 2087,2088,2089.
So if you have 5 Sets or more,then you probably also have 5 different Versions of Dusty Rhodes.In Legends we have for the most Guys only one Card.
That pops up a question for me: How do you decide which Version of the Wrestler his Legends Card will be?
A Good Example is Buddy Rose.His Cards looks to me like an older Buddy Rose,later in his Career?

Being from Buddy Rose territory, I put it this way: his card is a fair representation of him in the wider wrestling world. In the Pacific Northwest, his stats would probably be better if each territory were rated relative to itself.

I hope for Frank Gotch to get his -3(ch D) back as that -2 (ch C) makes him struggle against agility wrestlers while his -3 (pw) move can hurt him against power guys. Rough for the most dominant early champion in wrestling.

Probably for the best not to try and rate each wrestler by territory though Buddy is one of my favorites and I love to watch old school PNW.
