Got mine yesterday, but I do live within a stone's throw of Filsinger Games World Headquarters. Surprised by the Dillon card. Does this mean we will one day get a wrestler card for Precious Paul? Paul Ellering does have a wrestler card in the 2 pack with Jim Cornette. |

I usually break in new sets with a special New Blood tournament or battle royal and this set was no exception. My favorite is the Spoiler as his finisher mechanic is great and makes so much sense. While he did not win the tournament he made the finals and even won by dq against another Clawmaster, Baron Von Raschke! I imagine the Baron locked the claw from the apron after the action went to the floor. Figured he either refused or could not let go by the five count! This sets up a nice battle of the claws in the future. May share the results in the Fed section since I do not want to clog up this thread but the winner was Dick Hutton. As a former world champion, Hutton received a bye along with Jack Brisco, Dan Severn, and Jim Londos. JJ Dillon beat Mc Cord to win the wild card round but lost his first match to the Spoiler. Results are located here in case anyone is interested: filsingergames.proboards.com/thread/21532/hall-blood-tournament-promoters-prime |

Tragos & Londos will be a tag team for me. Thinking “Greek Gods”. Not original, but it works. Thinking about a Guy,that i would like to see in Color.You could call them the Golden Greeks 🙂 |

My only concern with the set is Londos using his finisher without being disqualified, since the Airplane Spin is illegal in SAGA, and as GM, Shon Maxx must enforce the rules. Granted he created the rule, but that's beside the point. Maybe I'll say if Londos spins and then throws the opponent it's okay, but if he sets the guy back down peacefully, it's illegal. Also, the referee has full discretion in these situations, and Shon won't fight their decisions unless they allow every single airplane spin. Also, I noticed Tragos could injure opponents with his finisher, and I thought about forming a stable with him and Ox Baker. Are there any other wrestlers who could injure opponents with their finishers, preferably without first using weapons or illegal moves? I just need one more wrestler for their stable. First Wrestler i would think of is Alexu Smirnoff in Prime.But he also uses the Heart Punch |

Isn't Ellering's card a manager with wrestling stats like Dillon's?

Really liking what I'm seeing so far from this set. I haven't had a chance to put them to use but the wheels are turning for how many of these fellas will be used.
One thing I'd be curious to hear the Legends team's take on is the overall power of Jim Londos. I would have expected him to be even more powerful than he is. He seems to be in the upper midcard range rather than the solid main eventer slot I would have expected.
