GWF Files

[patrick]

Just curious if we are going to see an new edition to this. It’s a good way to see all the cards that were issued. Thanks in advance

I think there's about a zero percent chance of this unless someone goes crazy....at this point it would be massive to include everyone who's been in the GWF/CPC/Centra feds/Kronos/FTR (and maybe GWFZ)

The original were great but as we discuss on trying to update the Wiki for Online, it's a huge project at this point.

I still use both of the GWF Files I got…..tape holding the front page of the original one together.
I would absolutely love to see a new GWF files but I could only imagine how long it would take to prep it and how much the cost would be to print it (don’t get me wrong but I would buy it no matter the cost).

I think this actually came up in one of the Dark Menace's Lair's conversations, possibly during the Perennial. Tom asked the question about whether there would be interest in a third edition of the book. Several folks made comment about their support of the idea and why it would be a useful purchase, specifically due to the history of the game that could be lost to the sands of time due to earlier game editions going out of print (2094-2097; 2099-2100; 2105 & 2106; 2119).

With my editing and writing experience; as well as my current kidless status; I would happily lend a hand in this endeavor if help was needed, because I see the value in it!

I think there should definitely be a GWF one.

The GWF Fact Books covering everything up to Kronos: Return to Civilization by Tom Tutwiler are uploaded and available on the downloadable PDF File Chad Olson keeps current here on the boards.

I'd love to see a mainline COTG edition. I think some historical information about GWFZ and the sort of mainline adjacent sets would be necessary, but it's impractical to do a volume doing specific info on all of those cards.

I think maybe the GWFZ sets that were "official" as well as the P.O.W., CPC and a.C.e sets would be a good jumping off point.

I assisted in the past with the "Championship" Chapters...but honestly those are chapters that I don't think would need to be included as we haven't had consistent promoter-based rankings in a long time.

I would say that a GWF Files 3.0 would be cool to have, but the focus should be the GWF...which many might not agree with, BUT I also think that a Filsinger Games Pro Wrestling Files 1.0 would be cool too as a stand-alone product.

DK II, but aren't there some important names that have come up in the CPC/P.O.W. era, and in a.C.e. I mean really is it that much to add - we are talking like an additional, what at most 15 editions. Drop in the bucket if we are including Early Classics, Classics 2074, 2079, 2084, 2086 and everything up to the most recent release. But I hear you, I think it could potentially get too large to edit and write. So maybe just CPC/P.O.W.?
