Just ran my tournaments to crown my first champions in the SAGA relaunch. Now my fed is made up of this set, Low 3 and 4, and a few indie wrestlers.
Abdullah and The Baron beat the Vachons to win the Tag titles after destroying the Briscoes in the semifinals.
Dan Severn beat Killer Kowalski to win the World Title. In the quarter finals, Tragos made Londos submit, but then he list in the next round to Kowalski. Goering, Roop, and Hutton all lost in the first round.
My plan is to keep pushing Severn as my top face with management trying to push Londos, until next year when Londos might turn heel. And if Tragos injures someone, that might begin his slow turn as well.

I have been trying to decide where I am going to put all of these new wrestlers in my LOW fed whIch has 3 different brands: RAW, EAWA, and Smackdown.
I think I will put the Briscos on RAW because that is a brand that use some more tag depth and where the Road Warriors have held the VWF Tag Team Championship for over 1 year of game time.
Danny Hodge and Dick Hutton (who in my fed's history have been known as Hardcore Hosge and Hardcore Hutton and who as a tag team together have been called The Heros of Hardcore) will go to my EAWA brand.
Dan Severn I will probably put in the EAWA as I need someone new to provide a new challenge to my EAWA Champion Vader who has been dominating that brand.
Ric McCord I will probably put on Smackdown.
Baron Von Raschke I will start using right away, but I am debating whether to start him on RAW or Smackdown, same with Jim Londos and Bob Roop.
But that is just to start as, once I get to my next draft (but I think that is still over 1/2 year away in game time,) alot of names including likely some of these ones will move to different brands.

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. Good morning, pikemojo ! The Legends Team felt like adding the Add 1 mechanic on L2O #6 really improved Londos. We do acknowledge dropping one finisher, but feel like overall his L3O is also improved. We certainly appreciate your feedback. I will be interested to see how he performs for everyone! |

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? In our opinion, Dillon had a longer and more historic wrestling career than Ellering. If you haven't already, you may want to check out his book "Wrestlers Are Like Seagulls". It really got Tim and I interested in making a wrestling card for him, as opposed to his manager stats. He had a lengthier career than some folks realize, and it spread across many territories. Ellering's card is definitely better than a standard manager with wrestling stats, but his agility is pretty bad to reflect the severe knee injury that ended his career. A prime wrestling card would be a little better, but not too much, as he was pretty muscle bound and not a real high flyer. Maybe he'd be a Pro Prime guy for a Memphis set, right Travis605? |

He's not likely to be disqualified, etc. I just appreciate the thought process behind some of these sorts of things. I know you guys put so much thought into how you put these cards together. I know I said it before but I'd love to hear an episode of the podcast devoted to discussion of the nitty gritty nerdy stats like this. |

I would also recommend reading JJ Dillon's "Wrestlers Are Like Seagulls" book (which I ironically got in Waterloo when I was at the Hall of Fame with Chad, Tim, Stu, Avarice, and Iowa Oaks back in 2018.) I learned alot about Dillon's wrestling career (and about the other parts of his career) from that book. After I bought the book I got it autographed by Dillon who also autographed my copy of his LOW color manager card. |

Definitely would love a Memphis set. Ellering yeah mostly I'd see the tag move being replaced by a single move and maybe a couple others bits.
Rich, Dundee, PG-13, and several others who would make sense....December 21 set?
