Fun show though there's a lot of distortion on Chad's side.

Fun show though there's a lot of distortion on Chad's side. I have a new audio cord on the way because I'm aware of the distortion issues. Should arrive today to improve next week's episode. |

Nice save on the falling ladder by James after sliced bread. We agreed after the show that James saved Ricky Bronson's life on that one! |

Fever is, hands down, my favorite black and white set, so I’ve been looking forward to this discussion.
Rick Rude has done it all in the various feds I’ve run. He’s won a bunch of six man and tag gold for me and had a run as a singles star.
Muraco has been inseparable from Fuji since the devious one came out. The only reason he’s not with the devious one now in my current fed is because I’m trying to use guys whom I haven’t used much before.
Zbyszko has held secondary titles, tag and six man gold. He was part of my all time favorite stories I ever had in a fed, as he was the guy that turned Kevin Sullivan into a top babyface. I’d love to some day get a second face version of him, either from his early tag team days or his very late fighting the nWo days.
Corino was a guy I didn’t really use, my anti-ECW bias coming into play.
ECW bias aside, Doring found a role as a jobber to the stars in one of my shorter lived feds.
Boogie Woogie is an all time favorite. It’s possible that he was the first heel I ever cheered for as I briefly got Memphis TV and remember him distinctly. In my 80’s themed fed, he had an unlikely but greatly successful run to tag team gold with Jim Powers as “Boogie Power”.
I had a great blood feud between Crusher and Bruiser Brody. He also had an unlikely tag team with Brutus Beefcake.
Danny Hodge was the guy I tried to build a light heavyweight division around, but could never get a feud to click for him. Always loved the card though.
The Terrible Turk was the most snakebite card ever for me. He lost every match I ever played with him and then a full can of Diet Pepsi spilled on him.
Cousin Luke was also in the set.
I’ve been a big proponent of the need for another color DDP, so I don’t personally agree with most of the gang here. In fact I feel like the fact that the CAC being almost identical to this black and white one is one of the main points for the update. We can’t pretend stat creep for the color updates hasn’t happened. Just looking at the other names from this set, using Rahl rating: Larry went from a 27 to a 37, Crusher from a 34 to a 45, Muraco from a 34 to a 42. Or look at DDP’s most famous rival that’s in the game, Randy Savage. Savage’s color card from the starter is going to beat CAC Page 90 times out of 100.

For those TL;DL types: the Legends team doesn't see much need for a card update for DDP.
