With all due respect to Greg the Hammer (who deserves little) and Mike Fortune (who deserves much) let's just say a truly fictional character this time.  Mike Fortune is pretty fictional... |

Nitro G, huh?.
Sounds too close to Savage T to me.

Congratulations to Tom for once again finding a way to spread the madness to a broader audience by teaming up with Reality TV star Nitro G! Having NITRO wrestling in the GWF and Nitro G at Galacticon is further proof you never know what can happen next in the COTG Universe!
Can't wait to see the card!

OK, let's see if I got this correct. We're getting a card for this guy------  but we still don't have an official Neilybob card. ;D But seriously, if this card is released as a SE, fine. I don't think it should take up a spot in an official release. We've had speculation about which characters will get an update and now one will probably not get an update because of Nitro G. If he's an official character in the next set, my next question is: Why? I understand that the cross promotion with Stan Lee would be huge. I understand that Tom and Stan are Bro's. But Tom publishes Stan's book and all we get is the guy that finished LAST. Stan's a friggin superhero god (I own seven DVD's based on his characters) and he's created 100's of guys. We get the weakest. Yes, I know it's a guy from the show but it's the guy that finished last. Would I feel the same if we got the winner, probably, but at least we'd have the winner. I'm all for cross promotion but this is the equivalent of having josharpie star in a commercial campaign for the Cardinals. It'd highlight what they're all about but in the end would it bring in a lot more customers, no. |

I think this would be cooler if it leads to more cross-promotion in the future. I mean, how the hell cool would it be if the GWF had Feedback or The Defuser (for anyone who watched the shows) to wrestle in it?
Of course, the already established heroes would be ridiculously awesome, too, but I'm not sure how much of a chance there is of that happening.

Either of those would be a cool addition. I am sure that Stan Lee would not block them like certain wrestling owners have done those evil evil evil men and women

Be cool if Stan Lee would let us have The Thing and a few other Marvel wrestlers.

I can never see it happening but I think Spiderman would be the ultimate wrestler, he's a super hero with a vunerability about him. Hey! He's already pinned Randy Savage!
