For some of these guys that don't have colored cards and it seems like we likely never will, can't we get a "go fund me" sort of deal among promoters and get Werner to draw them and use the stats from B&W cards? Or is that kind of thing frowned upon.

that would be frowned upon.

Or is that kind of thing frowned upon. The “seems like they never will” part is the tricky part. The past few years have proved the LOW team can and will sign legends who seemed like they would have never gotten cards (RnR, Tully, Windham, Hansen etc). |

Andre, Rude and everybody else shows up every year in WWE video games - I assume they have lifetime rights to the characters somehow? Frustrating. At least we have them in B&W... Hopefully someday we can get them in color as well. I have no problem mixing b/w and boots w color. So as far as I’m concerned I have Rick Rude and Andre. Obviously I’d use their color cards if they ever got them but until then, it’s no problem. |

Obviously I’d use their color cards if they ever got them but until then, it’s no problem. I agree with Rob. Especially since the b&w and color cards are created by mostly the same folks. We might uncover new footage for someone, but there shouldn't be a huge swing in their power levels from b&w to color. We might shuffle some things around and tweak stuff, but they are very compatible. On the usage of wrestler likeness, I have done some research and continue to research public usage rights laws globally. Just because someone might be off the table right now, doesn't mean they always will be. I have spoken to Roddy Piper's family at the CAC in 2019, for example, and got some contact info. We haven't been able to connect to advance things, but we're still working on it. We are always trying to sign more new names or shore up some old names. And realizing that every wrestler in the black and white LOW world could be potentially someone's favorite wrestler, we will do our best to colorize those favorite wrestlers as rapidly as possible. Remember, it took about 15 years to get all of the black and white wrestlers released. It will take some time to colorize them while continuing to add new wrestlers to the game. We have been getting 2-3 sets done per year lately, and this year will be no exception. It's a great time to be a Legends of Wrestling fan! |

I am jumping back into a soon to be coming Legends fed and to see what two new cards we'll get will be fun, so if they are two new names or two names that have b&w cards, I'm fine either way...

If we have cards being announced soon, isn't it time for someone to say it will be Mongo?
