Did Promoter Prime ship separately from the set? Promoter Prime will ship separately from the main releases. We are hoping to get it out next week, but more likely it will ship after the new year due to some press issues along with the Holiday schedule. That's fine for me. We're littered with postal strikes currently so have to surrender to the fact things will show up when they do. My great aunt received a card from the US this week that was mailed in September! |

13. Larry Zbysko - If he isn’t teaming with Tony, what’s he got to do? ..... 8. Tony Garea - My plan will be to team him with Zbysko at some point and then pair him with Don Curtis, Don Kernodle, or Gerry Brisco. So much flexibility. I've seen this sentiment from a couple of people. I'd argue that young Zbyszko is every bit as flexible as Garea. Put him in a pairing with any "veteran" tag guy (like those you mentioned) and you get the same effect. It's a common booking strategy that's been used forever. You could even evolve that pairing and combine it with the program he ran with Bruno. Young Larry can team with the veteran tag partner and then turn on him when you switch to Larry's prime card. Note, this was just an early take on the cards - at first blush. Not everyone is going to be top 5 in the set. Right now, Zbysko isn't in my fed, but he will come at some point. |

my personal 17 to 1 for LOW Q4:
17. King Kong Bundy (I am really glad this card is being released for those who need Bundy. But for my LOW fed I will probably continue using the previous Bundy color card as that card has done well in my fed and I have had fun using it.)
16. Larry Zbyszko (I am a big fan of Larry Zbyszko but I will probably continue using his previous color card for the foreseeable future. It is nice to have this card though for options.)
15. Larry Sharpe
14. Eric The Red
13. Angelo Mosca
12-11. Mr. Fuji and Mr. Saito
10-9. Love Brothers
8. Arnold Skaaland
7. Tony Garea
6. S.D. Jones
5. Adorable Adrian Adonis (I seriously actually like this version over the previous Adonis card as that is who I saw when I started watching wrestling in 1985.)
4. Pat Patterson
3. Rick Rude (I found out about Rude a few days ago right as I was boarding my plane to Germany through the Email for Editing for the Q4 Promoter Prime releases. I opened up the editing Email right then when I still had Wifi before the plane departed.)
2. Big John Studd
1. Andre the Giant
As I said before, a great Q4 for LOW! Thanks again to the entire LOW team!

I'm just about done with Katie Bar the Door, the Mike Rogers Pacific Northwest book, so if we get a set of Portland guys in 2023, that'll be great.

I use a library computer for internet, and this is the first time I've been online since last Wednesday because of bad weather & holidays.
Is it official that Rick Rude, Adorable Adrian Adonis & Larry Sharpe are the Q4 Prime cards? Any update on when they will ship?

Since I mix the b/w & color cards the new cards are all closer to the top of my list.
17. Larry Zbyszko - not sure I'll get much use out of this version but nice card to have.
16. SD Jones - nice to get SD in color, just not the reference pic I was hoping for.
15. King Kong Bundy - I've got the LE color Bundy so the only reason this wasn't #17 is because I love the pic.
14. Larry Sharpe - I remember Sharpe most as the Monster Factory guy wearing a suit with Bam Bam Bigelow. I never cared for the original art so this was a nice upgrade.
13. Adorable Adrian Adonis - I initially thought I'd rank him #17 and wouldn't use him at all as I stick with the first Adonis release. But I think I may come up with so fun ideas for Adorable one.
12. Mr Saito - I like the b/w version better
11. Mr Fuji - I think I may like his b/w card a little better too
10. Rick Rude - I'm glad everyone who has really wanted a new Rude card finally got it.
9. Andre the Giant - same as the Rude card. Glad the people who've really wanted this finally got it.
7&8. Love Brothers - I like that they got the Horrible Hartford & Rotten Reginald nicknames. For being a team I wasn't super familiar with I've always had fun with the b/w cards.
6. Angelo Mosca - love the art, hopefully it changes his luck because his b/w card hasn't performed very well for me.
5. Eric The Red - not very familiar with him but I liker the original art we saw better but this is cool too. He could be this sets Rod Fenton, don't know much about him but I think I'll have a lot of fun using him.
4. Arnold Skaaland - he's the new name I've got the best idea of what he'll be doing. Joining WWF Champion Bob Backlund as an advisor/tag partner.
3. Big John Studd - I had been using Masked Superstar II as Studd to team with Bundy. After a losing streak Heenan fired Studd. Masked Superstar II then joined the Masked Superstar and the are my current NWA Tag Team Champions. Not sure what his immediate plans are yet.
2. Tony Garea - I plan on having Garea travel from territory to territory teaming with a different partner in each place.
1. Pat Patterson - he's going to start out as a singles guy while Stevens is currently with Bockwinkel but the Blonde Bombers will be joining together eventually and Bockwinkel will get his singles run I've been planning out.
