Well, I can't really pretend to be gaga over Valentine now, considering how lukewarm I was on the prospect earlier in the thread. But I'll admit, getting the standard Legends background for Valentine is definitely the strongest argument to make in favor of a new card. The backgrounds don't bother me but there are plenty of other things that I'm borderline obsessive-compulsive on, from a consistency standpoint, that I understand where people are coming from (like, I bristle over "power bomb/powerbomb" inconsistencies--in my opinion it's two words, like "body slam"). Edit: Looking over the card, I have to admit...it's really improved. Same strength as the old Valentine card but I think the moveset is way, way more accurate--the piledriver and running clothesline, two moves I don't really associate with the Hammer, are gone. And the Valentine Chops as a Level 3 move was always kind of awkward--I like its change to a Level 2 move. TDalton did a lot of great research and work on Valentine to update his moveset. Heck, he did a great job on all three of the Pro Prime cards!

All 3 PP guys look great and I'm nitpicking here, but just curious as to why Johnny doesn't have a cigar incorporated into his artwork.

Between 1971 and 1974 Greg Valentine wrestled as Johnny Fargo together with Don Fargo. So maybe i will first use this Card together with Jackie Fargo from Prime

When are the Olsons going to take a trip down to the asylum and get us a Roughhouse Fargo card?

Hopefully Roughhouse is coming at some point...and maybe a referee Sonny Fargo card as well.

I am also stoked for those vintage wrestling charts. I reintroduced my Provincial Pure Wrestling Division and had done some modifications on the fly with the current charts to simulate as best as I could the types of matches being held back in the day. Now with these new charts it will make the Division even more interesting. As per with any release that we see colour versions of cards, they will be swapped in and then new cards added to the roster or to the free agent pool. Looking forward to the new sets.
In regards to Valentine, I feel like any version of Greg is going to be solid and tough. The guy is a workhorse and tough so his cards should always reflect that. Again I can't wait to officially bring back the Dream Team alongside Johnny V in his new managerial position. Im also thinking of having him manage Adrian Adonis.
