I respectfully disagree with some of the comments being made here about the 3rd Indie Promoter Prime card.
I think this wrestler, who had a highly-regarded singles match on one of the top Indie shows of the year in Joey Janela's Spring Break which the last two years has sold out instantly, absolutely deserves an Indie card.

On JJ's Spring Break?? I do not remember that. |

I do not think "highly regarded" and Janela or Invisible Man belong in the same sentence or even paragraph. To each their own I guess.

I'm cool with The Invisible Man being the third name. Looks like it will be a fun card to use.
My one quibble with the artwork is the fact that he's wearing clothes. On one hand I get it; If I was wrestling him I certainly wouldn't want his naked, invisible man-parts rubbing up against me.
However, by giving him clothes it's easy for his opponent to see where he is in the ring which removes the huge advantage he has of being invisible.
Doesn't that kind of defeat the entire purpose of the character?

Doesn't that kind of defeat the entire purpose of the character? the card art is not necessarily in-ring card art taking LOW for example, Iron Sheik, Steve Williams, the Irwins, Shane Douglas (and these are really just some of the first LOW cards I quickly picked up looking for examples) are all wearing some attire on their card they did not wear in the ring. I chose the reference for the card art for this card and I also sent in some other references for card art photos for Indie Cycle 2 as as I am now playng a little bigger role with the Indie releases than just working on the stats for the Indie cards. paul, although I personally like this card art, if you or others here do not like some of the Indie art references going forward than please let me know as I just started with making Indie art selections and I am open to constructive criticism. Without saying why, there is one name in Cycle 2 where there were not many available cart art reference options (I found the perfect pose but in that photo the eyes are closed and I am suggestung a good face card art reference tilted in the correct direction to go with that pose and hoping it works out- again not many options avaialble for the name involved,) but I really think the upcoming Cycle 2 card art by Werner is going to kick some serious a*s! |

I do not think "highly regarded" and Janela or Invisible Man belong in the same sentence or even paragraph. To each their own I guess. JJ's Spring Break show is clearly highly regarded because it's pretty much the hottest Mania weekend ticket outside of the WWE itself. It sells out so fast and there is always people seeking any third-party sales going into the weekend. Invisible Man vs Invisible Stan is also, in my humble opinion, a masterpiece. The crowd loved it, and it has made 1.3million views on YouTube alone. I do, of course, accept that this kind of wrestling is not for everyone, and I can see the argument that there was a spot there that someone else signed could have taken. Equally though, I think it gives us quite a fun card that wasn't ever really going to fit a set, and offers some amusing booking options. As for the art, I like it. You can look at it a couple of ways, either as Zeke said this is him wearing other clothes for a promo shot, or he's like a Charles Mason type and wears a suit when he wrestles. I like that there is some representation of a character on the card, rather than just a blank space. |

Out of curiosity I've just watched the Invisible Man v Invisible Stan match. That's a new low, even for wrestling.
