Yes, the 2140 Siege update will come equipped with the first card mechanic that directly applies to Galacticon tournaments. AETHRAN CRIPPLER (+4) * * In matches vs Kronos wrestlers this is a (+7) finisher. In matches vs Kronos wrestlers during the Galacticon Cup it is a (+10) Add 3 finisher. WOW! Say hello to the card that will be the new GCon Cup winner next time then, LOL!  Todd C WTIC |

Had a truly great time folks! Was great to see all of you, and chat about this game we all know and love. Great discussions, and a really good time.

I didn't buy a HOF pass of any kind but still had a chance to meet and talk to several wrestlers. ROCK RIDDLE - helped me eat my pizza Friday. MASKED SUPERSTAR - signed my card and we spoke for several minutes. HAKU - shook my hand, instead of killing me. TOMMY RICH - Shook my hand and talked G.C.W. for a bit in the lobby of hotel. JAMES JEFFRIES - Talked with several us after the show at the hotel. JIMMY VALIANT - Thought Pete Beck was a ventriloquist at breakfast. GOOD TIMES, that I will never forget! How could I forget the first wrestler I met during the weekend?!? I was out front of the hotel when Chad Olson pulled up with ...... THUNDERBOLT PATTERSON! Chad called to me and asked if I'd help Mr. Patterson inside, while he parks? I was more than happy to help. I sat in the lobby talking with T'BOLT for ten to fifthteen minutes until other fans began to gather around him. He's a wonderful man!!! |

I will share more of my highlights in detail on our podcast. (That's Uncharted Territory!) But overall, the biggest highlight was seeing people I hadn't seen in literally 20 years, from ~KB~, DK II, Pete, Sam Luptak, Nick Lazarro, Jeff and Josh, Mike Fortune, and probably others I'm forgetting. Plus, I got to meet some awesome people for the first time, some of whom I'm chatted with here, such as Andy ( Sinestro24), Michael Bratta, and Milton. I really enjoyed meeting Kyle Sheele and chatting with him a bit, finding out we're both in the St. Paul area. It was a really cool feeling and I'm so thankful that so many promoters made the journey to Waterloo to see the HOF and IPW. I feel that the balance in activities between the HOF and Galacticon was perfect. I did more HOF activities on Friday and other than the banquet Saturday night, I mainly hung out at Galacticon. |

Thanks for the shoutout, Chad! It was great to see you again, too. (Cory will get this, and maybe Stu.) I agree on the balance being about perfect--even though the museum was a block away from the convention center, it was easy to bounce back and forth between the two if you wanted and the really major events didn't overlap at all. |

Alas, I didn't get to do much of it (tournament stuff) but I'm glad others were able to do so.

I did enjoy getting autographs from Superstar and Roop.
The trip was good except Chicago to home when people decided to get rude.
Other than getting overheated on Thursday, it was one of my best Galacticons.
Looking forward to 35 in Jamestown.

Great time in Waterloo, glad I made the trek.
Was like Kenny Jay in all my tournament matches, but had a good time meeting everyone.
