Those that received their sets today: did you pay for express shipping or just priority? Express to California. Express to Wisconsin. I will say that others who paid for Express shipping, that were closer than Wisconsin and California, (@kevinb) did not receive their's today. Thus, just another example of how their is little to no rhyme or reason to the USPS. However, I am not complaining. |

Great set. They did say it was going to be the biggest one yet. I cannot wait for 4th quarter PP.

Thus, just another example of how their is little to no rhyme or reason to the USPS. However, I am not complaining. .......... Post office is a mess lately. I sent a package Priority mail and another media mail (slowest option, cheapest rate). Priority (2-3 day expected) took a week and media rate package got to it's destination farther away in four days. As far as this set goes, I can't wait to see what the official Big John Studd card looks like. I can't imagine a lot of changes from the unofficial "Masked Superstar II" on offense, but I'd like to see some defensive changes. As far as Bundy goes, I'll take a look at the two color cards released and choose the one I like best to use. The art on this new one is far and away better, but the verdict is out on which card back is best if there are changes. |

One notable change I thought I saw (through my tiny phone screen) is that Angelo Mosca lost his loaded-elbow-pad mechanic.

Here are the changes I saw comparing the two Bundy cards. These are just the major things. Some moves are different and things may be rearranged a bit.
- Loses (ch F) on Level 1 offense
- Into the turnbuckle on Level 2 offense loses (c)
- Gains (ch C) on Level 3 offense
- Out of the ring on Level 3 offense gains (c)
- Atlantic City Avalanche drops from (+4) to (+3)
- Bundy demanding the Five Count now only happens on an even roll of one die.
- Level 1 Defense same just rearranged
- Level 2 Defense rearranged, loses a dazed -1, now hurt-2
- Level 3 Defense rearranged but same
- Bottom stats (agility, power, etc) all the same.

Think I will keep using Bundy I use now. |

It is an add 1 move on his card, and the elbow pad is in the drawing, so it's an "up to you, Promoter" situation. |

It is an add 1 move on his card, and the elbow pad is in the drawing, so it's an "up to you, Promoter" situation. Chad's description covers most of it. in Florida, Mosca would do sort of like a roaring elbow to win matches. Or, it was almost more of a forearm shot. On Episode 111 of Uncharted Territory, Tim alluded to Mosca knocking out a guy with a forearm smash in his CFL days. So, you could almost think of it in that way. (See the YouTube clip below of a match against Tommy Wright from '82.) In my research, I didn't see the loaded elbow get used. But I know from talking to Tim, it was used, so I just decided to make it a regular "Add 1" move instead of an even/odd situation and if you want to say it's loaded, you can. Overall, he won a lot of matches with the a simple big punch (his choice G move) and in the WWF, he used an over-the-shoulder backbreaker. There were also times he used an over-the-knee version. But the sleeper seemed to be the most consistent one for his entire career. |
