Build Your Perfect BEST OF LOW Set

[Swarm]

Let’s say that similar to how Tom put the BEST OF COTG set together, he decided to do the same w LOW.

Let’s call it 24 wrestlers. 16 singles men, 2 women and 3 tag teams.

The idea is to entice new players using color cards from various eras.

You can include any combination of color legends from the first box set to the most current release.

Cool idea for a set Rob!!

[patrick]

Great question. I’m at work but I will post my ideas.

[TTX]

Bri, I love ya, bro, but Rikidozan and Sheik are not released in color and who knows if they ever will be.

I'd tread lightly on wrestlers from the LOW Color set as that's the natural next set so I'd use as few of those as possible or people may skip buying it if they already have all their favorites.

I'll mull over the roster but Bulldogs, Condrey and Eaton and Kangaroos for the tag teams

Moolah and Joanie for the women.

Men will be tough...so let's see where we can go with it
the one from the first set I'll pick is Rob Van Dam
Barry Windham
Nick Bockwinkel
Abdullah the Butcher
Big Van Vader
Dutch Mantell
Antonino Rocca
Pat Patterson
Wahoo McDaniel
Baron Von Raschke
Kurt Angle
Mark Henry
Paul Orndorff
Haku
Rick Rude
Vampiro

Cool idea, Rob! For you and Bri, which version of the Midnights would you choose?

Hey Cory Olson!

I know that most folks would probably go with Condrey / Eaton. Which makes total sense. But I'm basically an originalist so for me it would be Eaton / Lane ala the Legends Rematch set.

Right back atcha TTX me bro in spades! Id love to see Rikidozan and The Original Sheik colorized. Even if there aren't any stat tweaks, (but if there are - I can dig that too!).

Half the fun of this idea will just be to see who promoters would pick!

since Bryan Danielson is seemingly about to retire from wrestling (at least from a full time basis,) I wonder if that would make him eligible for a color LOW card?

if so, I would include that card in a set like this
