Title says it all. I use Ursa Major, Mutant, and Gila as stand ins for jobbers in my LOW fed, but wondering what people's thoughts are for a situation like this where a COTG character is such a good approximation stats wise for a legend.
And don't say "It's up to you promoter". I know it's up to me, just wondering what people's thoughts are.

I'd say the structure of the card on offense/defense is a good approximation. Of course the -3 power doesn't work and a few moves would need to be changed (running clothesline, double knee lift, full power slam, etc). I'm sure someone could set you up with a nearly official bootleg card pdf to use, but if you don't like to go that route Thantos is a good choice for a stand-in.

I say go for it!
I've been using COTG guys in my feds off and on for a decade or so.
Big Superstar fills in for me as a "bargain basement/ generic store brand Hulk Hogan" and has been doing so for YEARS!
I've never considered using Thantos but... why not?

Yeah I’m a little ocd about bootleg cards in my feds, not that I wouldn’t even use them but not at this level of the card. And that Thanatos seems to me to be heavily inspired by Flair makes it semi blessed in my mind for whatever reason. Though yes -3 power would have to go to a 0

I'd say -1 power is not out of line at all. The superstar bump, as it were, and Flair was also pretty naturally strong in his prime as well.

While I know both guys used a figure-four for a finisher, I always saw Thantos as closer to HHH than Flair in style, power, etc. As Emperor Norton said, you can find bootlegs of Flair on this board, if you're not opposed to mixing in bootlegs. But again, "It's up to you, promoter."

But again, "It's up to you, promoter." The real good news is that the same guys who work on the official LOW stuff also stat some of these boots. The only thing that keeps them from being the real deal is that they aren’t sold. No profits. Just shared free for the whole community stuff. But the design is as official as it gets.
