The problem with saying that the women or midgets should be released separate from the regular sets since some will choose to not use them is that I could say the same for any wrestler that I personally do not really care for since I will not use them. I don't really see myself ever using the black glove Dibiase and I really don't use the Masked Superstar ever. Does that mean that they should be released individually or only in sets full of people I won't use? No. Lets also look at this from a business standpoint. Why would Filsinger Games release a set that they knew would have less people interested? Also, isn't Johnny Rodz signed? I agree, what I am saying is I would rather get male wrestlers in a set that I may or may not use rather then a couple novelty wrestlers such as migets or women. I respect women wrestlers very much and what they do I know and worked with alot of them, I think a buyers choice should be given, so instead of adding a couple in a set just have them as SE/LE like Trav mentioned. |

I think a bunch of us SoCal Promoters are working on a plan to go, en masse, to a PWG show and try to get them to sign. That would be great: Joey Ryan, Roderick Strong, El Generico, Human Tornado, Super Dragon, and so many other good wrestlers are there.

"Novelty wrestlers"? That's kinda demeaning. I mean, to be fair, Andre the Giant was more of a novelty act that, say, Sherri Martel was...which is part of the reason they kept him on the road so much in the territory days. |

It's a shame we can't just log onto the store and select cards individually instead of buying sets.

Oh I agree that Andre is also considered a novelty act, its not demeaning because women's wrestling is not promoted as much more then sex appeal for fans or a time filler as the migets. Japan and some indies there are talented women wresters who are respected, however they will never be the main money makers for any company. Again I have worked with alot of women wrestlers over the years and it is difficult for women to make it, and if the women are not "sexy" it is even harder; I don't agree with it its just fact. |

with talk of Raven and how he's into comic books and stuff, has anyone tried Rob Vam Dam? He owns a comic book store, we already have his partner (Sabu) and his trainer (the Sheik).
as for the talk about Benoit & Invader and not wanting murderers, well what about Jimmy Snuka? we already have him and I doubt anyone puts him aside and doesn't use him and there are those stories of the woman who was with him who somehow turned up dead and Vince got Snuka out of it. I am for both Benoit and Invader in the set, many wrestlers were scumbags in real life but amazing wrestlers.

I am for both Benoit and Invader in the set, many wrestlers were scumbags in real life but amazing wrestlers. Actually, I think that's a good point about Snuka and, believe me, I've thought about it many times. But whether he did murder the girl or not, it's not something we'll never know and maybe hard to pass judgement since there wasn't anyone there. Good point though... In the case of Benoit, there was no doubt he did it and with all the witnesses, Invader I was guilty as well. But I think there is a line between a "scumbag" and a "murderer" |

I would never want a Chris Benoit card.
Anyone that kills their own child, deserves to be just plain forgotten.
