I knew about the Kangaroos being the Q1 LOW Promoter Prime Cards, but I did not know either of the last two names in this LOW set and I am glad to see (as many of us suspected) that Pepper Gomez is indeed one of the names! In my LOW fed's history (during the MLW Period,) Gomez had violent feuds with both Ray Stevens and the Mountie. Pepper Gomez is also tied for 2nd place with Gorgeous George and Hardcore Hodge (Danny Hodge) for 2nd most Cruiserweight Championships in my fed with 2 trailing only the 3 reigns of Tiger Mask. When I was in Waterloo in 2018, the Hall of Fame museum had a poster on display billing Pepper Gomez vs either Buddy Rogers or Lou Thesz saying it was the other wrestler's greatest feud. I can't remember whether it was Rogers or Thesz as Gomez wrestled both but either way it was definitely hyperbole (but still a great poster.) Chad Olson TDalton stu, you three were there too that year. Do you guys recall that poster in Waterloo?

Pepper Gomez being announced in color is a welcome addition. Again, the artwork just pops in such a vibrant way. Very colorful work by Werner. Very excited to add this set and Promoter Prime 22 to my territories. Excelsior!

Gomez is another good color update. He's been active since the first card came out in my game. Gomez & Rocca briefly held the world and I-C tag titles simultaneously during the Iron Team Tournament. Gomez, Rocca, & DiPaolo are the current Mexican Trios champions.

Back in the sixties, 🌶️ had a high profile team with Jose Lothario. That would be another great name to have in the game.

Pepper Gomez is a good addition to the Set. So far I will team him up with Red Bastien.He later on also had a run with Thunderbolt Patterson in the early 70s in Texas

Gomez really never succeeded in my Fed. The color version may change that especially if I consider teaming him up with Thunderbolt Patterson. I like that idea. I'll be very glad to welcome him back for another run.

The biggest issue I had with Gomez not succeeding is that I constantly forgot to apply his special mechanic to moves that it should have been applied to. I'd snap like 4 rolls later, "oh crap...he should have countered that move..."

I've been trying to find my old B&W stats, but can't find them anywhere. Pepper seemed to have a decent card, but could never beat any top guys and hovered around a .400 Win %.
Hopefully a new card equals a new life and he can get things going
