OH, I have been expecting both of them. Thought maybe for a Best of Mexico 2 but this is great.

Fantastic final 2 names and I would argue this is one of the strongest, most packed indy sets in recent times.

Forgot to mention the art is off the chain. This whole set looks amazing.

I originally started talking to both Aramis and Arez about being in the game prior to the pandemic, but I was not able to get either one initially. At PWG, Aramis said he wanted to talk to Bandido (one of the cards I showed him) first and Ares at GCW seemed interested but I did not have a translator at the time.
It was at Major League Wrestling in Philadelphia during Galacticon weekend 2021 when I talked to Aramis again. Aramis said he remembered me from PWG and when I asked him if he had talked to Bandido about the game he said yes and that he would sign the release form. 2 months later, at GCW in Chicago during Labor Day Weekend when I attended the shows that were part of GCW's The Art of War Games weekend, I was able to get Ares signed as well. Back in February when GCW was in Las Vegas, with the help of my friend who knows Spanish, I was able to talk to Ares and go over some of his moves for his card.
Speaking of that Major League Wrestling show in Philadelphia in July 2021, Ares and Aramis had an incredible match against each other and it was later ranked as one of the top Indy matches of 2021. Sports Illustrated even did an article about them. In addition to wrestling each other at least 46 times, Aramis and Arez have also occasionally teamed together and even held the GALLI Tag Team Championship together for almost 1 year.
In PWG, Rey Horus has teamed with Rey Horus multiple times and, in Major League Wrestling, Arez last year was paired with Holidead as part of Strange Sangre.
In addition to obviously using both Aramis and Arez in my Ring of Mexico (ROM) fed, I will probably also use them both in Vegas League Wrestling (VLW.)

Very cool way to finish off the set. I'll echo the sentiment that this may be one of my favorite indy sets, at least in a while.
