I spoke to Eadie and Darsow about a month ago, and while they can use Demolition for wrestling and autograph appearances, WWE owns all the product licensing. Major bummer....they were my favorites in the late 80s. As for the Gencon SE cards...I wouldn't get too caught up in the alternate personas train of thought. Bummer on both counts, particularly the first.

While I'm on here, which isn't that often anymore, I just want to give my 2 cents on the new set. Like I've said before, I ALWAYS look forward to new sets coming out (whether it be LOW or LOTF), and ORIGINALS is no different. As for me personally, the only name announced thus far that jumps out at me and makes me want to buy the set is the One Man Gang. No offense intended regarding the other names in the set, because I'm sure most of you are eager to have them in your feds. I will undoubtedly read up on the Love Brothers, French Angel, & John Pesek. I am happy to see Adrian Street and to a lesser extent Bob Roop in the set, and will further my knowledge on them as well. But the Gang is the one guy who I actually grew up watching (and hating, when wrestling was "real") and look forward to the most thus far. Personally, out of the 5 remaining spots, I hope at least a few are ones who as a fan, I had some sort of connection with (be it cheering or jeering them, or seeing them in person). I don't want to have to refer to Wikipedia too much in order to learn about the talent we'll be getting in new sets. With all of that being said, a major kudos to everyone involved in making LOW and LOTF happen. From the signings to the production of the sets, I along with so many others here really appreciate your hard work and the time you put in doing the research for the cards. Impatiently waiting for the rest of the names to be announced, Mike H.

And for the record Angelo Mosca was a HUGE signing!

Maybe the Gencon cards are new art and corrected backs for Race and Mascaras each with their famous double move?..Perhaps that may be a bit trite though.

When can we expect more names announced, or at least some more clues???

Soon I'm sure. Galacticon is less than 2 months now. Though Tom may tackle a few GWF spoilers first as he's hinted at a lot but we only know Hector for sure (plus two mystery Gladiators)

maybe we get 2 referee cards... Dick Woehrle AND I thought I remember someone mentioning a while back that they knew Brian Hildebrand / Mark Curtis' widow and thought she would okay him being in the game.

Dillon (who's been signed for a while) will only be released once one of his proteges in the game. For some reason, people are convinced Tully Blanchard is signed (or will be soon)
