Thanks, JJ. Although El Matematico is a legend for sure. That one would take me a little research since I am not overly familiar with his style. It's not easy to find classic lucha footage of a lot of guys, and even then sometimes it's just clips or one or two matches. In fact, when I did the original Blue Demon card I had to do a lot of research by watching the matches that were inserted into those old El Santo movies. Fortunately the films often followed a formula where they'd feature a match with him and Santo at some point in the film. Mistico has been updated and the pdf added to the website. www.angelfire.com/wrestling3/legendarystars/mistico.html

I was just being a math & wrestling nerd. I am sure that type of classic footage is hard to find period

I just added to the website the pdf of that Giant card by KingWithTheAx and me that's seen on the first page of this thread. I also added Tommy Angel to bulk up the preliminary ranks.

-Updated Tom Jenkins with revised moveset pretty much entirely thanks to pikemojo and his reasearch website full of historical articles.
-Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin card revised, including new mechanic to get Precious involved and a "Precious distractor rating". I will most likely do an alternate version with modified valet interference move and "Sunshine distractor rating" at some point.
-I also fixed an error on the Doink "double vision" game mechanic.

I updated one and added another of my favorite 80s gimmicks: Giant Machine has been updated, and Super Machine has been added to the "raging 80s" segment of the site. These are drawn in a more cartoon style than the others because that's how I saw them when I was a kid. This silly, could be awesome gimmick was captivating. Now I understand what they were and why they were in the WWF. However, when I was a kid I could not imagine wanting a WWF action figure more than a Super Machine figure. PS: "Giant Crush" is my name for Giant Machine's sit down splash. "Super Giant Big Chop" or "Giant Super Big Chop" (depending on the card) is the name for the big overhand chop to the chest. Will there ever be a "Big Giant Super Chop" on a card? Hard to tell, as Big Machine was to me like the George Harrison of this super group; he served his purpose but was just kind of there. Okay, maybe like the Peter Tork, but that's as far as I'll go (these references are even way before my time, so don't worry if you don't get them, kids). www.angelfire.com/wrestling3/legendarystars/giantmachine.pdfwww.angelfire.com/wrestling3/legendarystars/supermachine.pdf

My first color bootleg card is coming soon.
Pencils and inks by me, colors by Werner.
You read it here first. Any guesses as to who it will be?

Blue Demon pdf added, fixing one choice situations error from original card. Also updated drawing that actually depicts Blue Demon instead of Blue Demon Jr (whom was supposed to get a card, but I never made it. However I did put the Jr drawing with the senior card, and never bothered to switch it until now).

The Mighty Hercules was added a few days ago. This one is compatible with the Paul Roma "Power And Glory" card. Color and black&white Virgil cards were added to the website yesterday. Gama is coming later this week, along with Manny Fernandez and (probably) Bulldog Don Kent. (preliminary Great Gama drawing) Attachments:

Gama has to be one of the most requested vintage wrestlers. Thanks for doing this

Credit for Gama goes to WeirdJerod. He had the stats done, suggested I do the card, so I did. Stats are 100-percent him, I did the drawing and put it all together.

I have stats he did for a bunch of old WWF guys like Gorilla Monsoon and Haystacks Calhoun if you're interested ?

Thanks for the offer, Todd. Jerod has a vast list of stats he's done to supply me with. Next up will be a card based on his version of Manny Fernandez. Later I have plans to do one of Stanislaus Zbyszko. After that, probably back to oddball 90s WWF characters and other stuff no one else has much interest in but me. Who wants Abe Knuckleball Schwartz? It's coming; along with Bob "Spark Plug" Holly, and (this one is actually cool) Waylon Mercy. No definite time frame on those, though.
