Early Classics. Im on board now.

Well I remember when the first 2079 card set cam out and I got the flier in the mail. I was all like "man im gonna buy this." The year was 1992...I know I know. 17 years later I got around to it and man is it awesome. I bought this along with EC and 2074 to get started. Also working on the L-FSCE kinda jump started my interest as well. I kept telling myself was all I need is one more fed I dont have time to play but COTG is always fun none the less. This will be fed number five which includes 2123, 2104, GWFZ, aCe, and now EC. To be fair Z and aCe are on hold until I order the latest sets so its three now.

Anyway I read the books, sorted the cards, and played the very first card ever in my Galactic Wrestling Federations history!!! Did it live up to the hype? @%#% yes! I even dug out my old charts from my childhood which were a little more worse for ware then I remember to keep it old school.

The card lineup was

Main Event: Guardians vs Dorado Sundown
-Torin Caelum vs Ricken Prince
-Screw vs Santon- Screws gonna be a new favorite.
-Defiance vs the Mensans
-Commander Sam vs Torpor

brief summary:
-Playing the very first card was awesome.
-Sam's debut was pretty hardcore and was kinda surreal to play his debut match.
-Screw and Santon had a wild brawl that somehow didnt end in a dq. Screw won with the first ever decapitator!(middle rope clothesline)
-Torin Caelum had a dominating debut that he easily won.
-The match I had been waiting for Omega and Morpheus vs Dorado Sundown. I dont know if my dice just liked me today but this was a five star classic that played out only to hype the feud more. Things went back and fourth with each wrestler having 2-3 fatigue tokens on them and then a frustrated Omega?!? got himself dqed. I remembered how easy it was to get disqualified on the old charts but it didnt matter to me because this was an awesome match. It had a real old school feel to it even with the ref calling the match for Omega using the steel ringpost. Haha awesome. Just thought I would share in another rant.

Classics is a great place to start. The characters there are awesome.

Amen. Nice to see more people playing the EC era lately.

After a long sabatacal from the game, I have restarted with the early classics. I'm in October of 2075. Omega finally won the title from Keller who had it for 8 months. Keller's card is really good. On the tag side, Dorado Sundown has the belts. They won it Dec of 2074 & still have it. The Guardians have tried 4 times to get the belts back. Santon, Screw & torin Caelum have emerged as title contenders, & Paladin & Defiance for the tag belts. The Crosscurrents have been awful, & Sam can't seem to beat the top guys yet. A frustrated Morpheus seems to be on the outside looking in.

Hey question for anyone who knows. What is the POW rules match the Paladin Power introduced in 2074. Is it a Titan Death Match or something different?

I think this is right. There wasn't a chart or anything

Thanks! Also what is K.O Kellers 10 Count finisher? Its not listed in the EC handbook. Was it the same as his 2084 card? I dont have that set since it is out of print. Thanks again

The TEN COUNT is where Keller has his opponent in the corner. Keller than climbs to the second rope, mounting his opponent, and punching him 10 times. Pretty simple face move.
