Deathmatch 2023 set

[db1091]

As announced today on the Indies Panel, Q3 will see a new Best of the Deathmatch set, with a mix of men and women in it.

Given it is never too soon to start the speculation for the next set, who do we think we will see in this release? Personal hopes for Sawyer Wreck, Rina Yamashita and Maki Itoh. Given mention of an international flavour to it, Big F'n Joe maybe as well

My prediction/hopes are, Sawyer wreck, Charli evans, Sadika, Akira, and someone who is very unlikely but I can see in this set is krule/madd Krugers or whatever name he allows the game to use

Great shout on Charli Evans

Charli, sawyer, an updated Tremont and big for or Clint Margera would all be awesome.
I know when I talked to charli about the bootleg I done she was very interested in the game so I'm hopeful for a official charli evans card

I'm looking forward to working on this set. I've got a few cards already done. Zeke has some great names for the men's side. We've got a really good group of female deathmatch goers as well!

Sawyer Wreck, Kenadi Copeland, Charlie Evans, Mickie Knuckles, Los Mazios, Derek Dillenger

Do we know if it's 6 or 8 cards?

Hoping for Derek Dillinger & Ziggy Haim

This is the set I’ve been waiting for. Been looking forward to more deathmatch wrestlers and especially some women.

Since they have been mentioned, while I would love Dillinger and Ziggy in the game, I wouldn’t consider them deathmatch wrestlers and I don’t feel they would be appropriate for this set.

It also sounded like there probably aren’t any Japanese wrestlers in this set. So Rina and Maki(also not a deathmatch wrestler) don’t seem likely.

That being said, who I want and who I predict will probably not align. I will continue to hold out hope for Atticus Cogar. Other than him, Shlak would be my top want. And aside from Rina, Ludark Shaitan is the top woman on my list. Updated Masada. Not expecting XPW to be repped though.

So that leaves:
Big Joe (would be awesome)
Akira
Los Macizos (need a perpetual shoulder injury mechanic for Extremo)
Kasey Kirk (and Brandon if we have to)
Lindsay Snow
Charli Evans
Sawyer Wreck (not very good but kind of a unique draw)

I was hoping for Los Macizos in the last Best of Indy tag teams set, so I'm totally fired up about the possibility of getting them... Updates for Masada and/or Matt Tremont would also be welcome... Akira would obviously be awesome and so would Atticus Cogar (on the off chance that he has changed his mind about being in the game)... Honestly, I have no knowledge of female deathmatch wrestlers, but it's very cool they will be included in this release... Exciting stuff!

We have alot of great deathmatch wrestlers signed (both men and women) to warrant another deathmatch set and (as I mentioned earlier today on the Indie Panel) this set is a multigender set and I will be working on it with Ty States. I am really excited about this set and about the approved special match which will be included.

On today's Indie panel, I did mention (as asked to do so) that the 4 countries with representatives in the game are the United States, the UK, Mexico, and Australia. There have been some good guesses made in this thread but, in at least 1 country's case, the guesses may not be correct (unless something changes soon and that country gets more representatives.)

There is an outside chance at a 5th country being included too as I have talked to a deathmatch wrestler we really want from that 5th country, but as of now there are only the 4 previously mentioned countries being represented. In the event that wrestler does sign but too late for that set then they could of course be in a future Indie set (Best of etc) with deathmatch stats mechanics on their card.
