Better late than never, the gang is back to look at their favorite releases of 2022 for the Champions of the Galaxy-related lines. Biased? Absolutely. But however you slice it, 2022 was a great year for the GWF, Kronos, FTR, and Reimagined lines, and these three diverse lists are a testament to that. Plus, we have all the news on the upcoming Filsinger Games Perennial. Sadly, we were informed of Jay Briscoe's passing as we finished. Needless to say, it cast a pall on the proceedings, so we wanted to wrap up fittingly regardless of how stunned and inarticulate we may have been. The entire Filsinger Games crew sends their thoughts and positive vibes to Jay's family - in particular, his daughters as they were in the vehicle with him and suffered serious injuries.

Great episode! Here is my list...
Honorable Mention: Armour & Daisy (not official...not a lot of ppl use these two but I loved making these two! Not to mention, Werner knocked Daisy out of the park! Wait until you see this year's GCON LE cards- a male and a female. Shockingly, neither are from Andromeda!
Number five... Riot Girl- a great edition to FTR that can hang and bag with GWF gals...
Number 4... Mr. Excellent...love this guy...kinda reminds me of Vanity for some reason but with wrestling talent
Number 3... Deva... a great way to.swing GWF in another direction and make it a more sports entertainment...plus the angles that can go with her intro is awesome
Number 2... Plethador... got to give the "Doctor of Froganomics" and "Frog Lyfe" (copyright pending) his due...first he went heel (unofficially) and comes back with comedy gold
Number 1... Apex...he is going to be probably the most decorated Aethran in history... which is saying a lot!

I listened to this episode tonight after watching GCW on FITE+ and also after then watching the end of Prestige on IWTV.
These are my personal top 5 COTG cards for 2022:
Honorable Mention Grandmaster Bloody Mary Apex (but he did not do that well for me compared to some of the other rookies of 2138) Deva (I think there is something wrong about her though that might get revealed in a future set) Advanced Guard (my current IP Tag Team Champions in my 2093 fed)
Top 5 5. Riot Girl (my favorite FTR card of 2022) 4. Alpha Force (in my 2093 fed he has dominated and is my current ROV Champion) 3. Mr. Everything (my current InterPlanetary Champion) 2. Zulfiqar (he won my ROV Championship, I'm really looking forward to learning more about him) 1. Havoc (in my 2138 fed he finally won my ROV Championship, I was really glad to see Havoc return!)

My top 5 for the year.
1. Solaris. I still remember getting hype reading Solaris revealing his in ring persona. I havenโt been that shocked and excited by anything like that in a while.
2. Paralyze. The most underrated Aethran of them all
3. Riot Girl. Immediately made an impact
4. Mr. Everything despite reminding me of Lanny Poffo. Thank God Tom didnโt have him rhyme.
5. Zulfiqar & Payback
