Anyone else here ever question if the WWE has done more to help wrestling or to hurt it? I hate the idea that as far as TV goes, there's no alternative to the product McMahon puts out. Granted, it's the best option, but when the only other options are a watered-down ECW (which technically isn't an alternative to the WWE) and a worse-than-WCW-could-ever-be TNA, a wrestling fan begins to long for the glory days of the WWF, NWA & AWA. Perhaps this is why I'm so excited about Legends of the Future. True, this game has always allowed us to run our own feds, but in my case, I know I've held back on certain ideas/angles due to the fact that my memory always overrules my imagination when it comes to these "historic" wrestlers, some of whom I've been watching since I first discovered the "sport". By using these "indy" wrestlers, who most of us have never seen & won't see on TV tomorrow night, I feel much more liberal to create a history of my own.

Nice post and I agree a Legend's "history" sometimes gets in the way of my imagination as well!! |

My biggest problem is that in my memory, Jim Duggan was a b-d-ss (Mid-South)...and in LWF, he's getting beaten up by Danny Doring.
Other than THAT, I actually have little problem using guys as the angles and ideas occur to me...

Other than THAT, I actually have little problem using guys as the angles and ideas occur to me... I can see that. I've always thought Duggan's pin was a bit high at 7(4) to go along with 2 down - 3 on his L3D. I would have put him at a 5(2) or 6 (3). When you start getting in the 7(4) range, it's almost jobber like |

Yeah, it is kinda odd watching the best of 80s UWF and seeing his matches in that area where he was a legit main event star, and then having him just epic fail so much in LOW. |

I think Jon did a great job with the stats in putting these guys stats in line with the existing Legends given their overall resume. They will give some guys a run for their money, but obviously won't be able to beat Harley Race. I completely agree. Jon did a heckuva job on this set and the cards turned out even better than I was expecting. I'm as eager for my next set of Future as I am for my next Legends set. And that's a big compliment for Knapik's work right there. Great job all around. |
