Tragos - Thesz HOF Set 4 - July 2023

This makes me wonder if Mike Snyder will turn up in Prime alongside Joe Malenko.

Of course, Wilbur's son-in-law Mr. Electricity 🔌 has been in the game for awhile.

[Carlzilla]

Snyder is an excellent addition.

Snyder is very exciting name to start off the TTHoF previews with. Very happy to have him in the game.
Not over the moon for the art. He looks oddly flat to me? Not sure how else to describe it. But with these kind of vintage guys where we’re working from old black and white photos, it must be very challenging.

Hoping this is the set we get Verne Gagne..Greg would be great for Prime as well..Wishing for the Steiner Brothers too

I'd love The Steiners too but even if they're signed to the game I could potentially see FG staff holding off on releasing cards for them after those offensive comments Rick allegedly made about trans people a few months ago.

If you get the option to release the Steiners, you release the Steiners... If they didn't release people who have said offensive things, we would probably not have half the roster.

His Tag team partner Bobo Brazil will be happy to see him

Dog Face might be shocked to learn that not only is Gisele Shaw in the game, but a few other trans workers are as well.

Rick would not be the first Legend who made a regrettable life decision. Hopefully he will regret what he said, do some sincere penance and restore himself to everyone's good graces.

[Pete]

Yeah, personally, if they're signed, great. But I'm in a lot less hurry to use the Steiners than I was a year ago. Is that inconsistent of me considering who's already in the game? I don't personally care. We all have lines. He's not a Buck Zumhoffe or somebody where I won't even watch a match of his for bootlegging purposes, but maybe he's just not a guy we should be championing for a little while. We've gone without official Steiner cards for 20-odd years of Legends now--we can last a little longer if we have to.

Fair counterpoint. While I certainly don't condone what Rick Steiner allegedly said it doesn't change the fact that the Steiners are one of the greatest tag teams of all-time.

Despite not caring for some of their outside the ring activities I still use the cards for Dynamite Kid and Jimmy Snuka.

I have to admit though that the other night when I was sorting all my Indy cards into different feds I had to stop a moment when I got to Rude Boy Riley's card. I set that one off to the side and I don't think I'll be using it.

Wilber Snyder Guess what ? I don't know him but got no problem with him
