It's assumed but nothing official. Simply nothing came out last year and nothing has been said about it.

This is the disappointing part, not a word at all about it's status. PP for COTG should continue if we can go back to getting some Kronos cards and FTR cards during the year, along with some GWF add-ons. FTR doesn't have to have a big storyline booklet written for it with every release - throw 3 PP cards out there with bios and let the promoters do the rest.

So, another issue with FTR is that...let's face facts, there's going to be a cap on how much any non-Tom-created character is going to be used in the GWF proper. He's the creator, it's his right to do what he's comfortable with, but that's been the case for almost 30 years now whether that creation is a promoter one, Mark's, Kris', Mike's, or anyone else. If we're lucky we get a Vidtek or Ensor who has a decent upper-mid-card spot, but that's where it's going to cap out.

I still think there's viability in FTR as its own deal but if we want it to come off as "developmental" then Tom is just going to have to be more involved.

I'm mostly a Legends player but I include some indies cards in my fed. Don't play COTG at all so no comments there. LOW Prime is great! Since the beginning of Prime, I loved that it was a place where cards could be released that didn't fit elsewhere. It's also become a little bit of a place where cards related to the main sets can fall as well, which is cool too. Just the idea that we can be guaranteed new Legends cards every quarter is great. On the indy side, there are always quite a few that I am not familiar with and will likely never use... but every year has enough wrestlers I enjoy enough to make the purchase more than worth it.

As long as there is a Legends Prime, I can hold out hope for a Sunny Beach card.

Please don't ever take that hope away from me. ⛱️

I love Legends and Indies promoter prime and hope it continues. I have bought it every year. It still has a lot of value, especially for wrestlers who don’t fit a particular set being released in that year. Long live PP.

Gospel.

Add me to the list of wanting a Sunny Beach card this year.

[Thomas (TK)]

I actually like all the Promoter Prime branches and will continue to buy them(although I haven't purchased this year's yet).

I pause because the whole way it was handled last year...and all it needed was a statement about the situation. When the cards were released, we were given 3 cards in the last couple of "cycles" that felt Hodge-podge.

So, continue please...

"I still think there's viability in FTR as its own deal but if we want it to come off as "developmental" then Tom is just going to have to be more involved."

This makes sense and would allow for greater continuity as a path from this promotion to the GWF. We have a pretty full schedule for COTG releases for 2024 but we can discuss how this might be approached going forward at GCon.

[Vanimal]

Count me in as someone who wants Kronos and FTR in PP. As was said above, big storylines aren't needed every release for FTR, just bios and feuds.
