WooHoo....Knuckleball. WWE was just too early on that gimmick as Chikara proves a baseball player can get over in wrestling.

Repo Man, Dumpster Droese, Outback Jack, and Mr Hole In One are a few I dont remember seeing yet

Mr Hole In One is probably on no other person's radar, Todd. ;D Blacktop Bully would probably be a notch above him in the depth chart, and Repo Man trumps them both by a mile. In fact, of everyone listed above Repo Man has far and away the best chance of ever getting made. This will not appear on my site, since I lifted the art from Hasbro, but here's a little Independence Day contribution for anyone who didn't see it on the official board. (click above link to download the card, below is a preview image) Attachments:

(click above link to download the card, below is a preview image) I actually started making a bootleg of Dumpster Droese once but gave up on it once I realized it was going to turn out a lot like the Hacksaw Duggan card we already have. That Sgt Slaughter card is pretty awesome. Thanks for taking the time to do all of these bootlegs

Thanks, Todd. I am pretty sure there's a Duke Drose card in the FG archive section. I don't recall who did it, but it's there.
I added Great Gama to the site. This one will probably be controversial and I look forward to seeing what people think. The man was truly unbeaten in a reported 50 YEAR career. Gama never traveled overseas though, preferring to issue challenges for people to come face him. The greats of the era who did, BF Roller and Stanislaus Zbyszko being the two prime examples, did not fare well. Roller only lasted 1 minute 40 in the first fall, and around nine minutes in the next. That's like a 30 second squash by today's standards. Zbyszko went 3 HOURS, but only after being taken down within a minute and spending the rest of the time on defense on the mat (and people wonder why they started working cooperative matches to make things more dramatic!). The rematch took place years later and went 40 seconds with Gama throwing him quick and getting the win. He challenged Gotch and Hack to both come over, but neither did.
ALSO, two updates: Scott Norton and Sgt Slaughter. This Norton represents the bulk of his career with several big moves included that were missing from the nWo edition. Slaughter is the black and white edition using my drawing with a slight downgrade from the "color GI Joe edition" I posted on the boards.

These are awesome Mark! Love the new card art and wrestlers you have been sharing with us. I was wondering if we will see new art for the Bret Hart card much in the same style as that gorgeous piece on the Owen Hart card?
Great Gama is wicked! And I cannot wait to have him enter my fed soon enough!

I finally caught up and Gama was very awesome. Also got a real kick out of Rocco.

Looking forward to having the Hart Foundation stable make their entrance into my Maple Leaf Wrestling fed.

Recent updates include Jack Veneno (with new art and stats by Cory Olson) and Superstar Billy Graham circa 1986 (update art and stats). Still trying to decide what look I want for Bret, then that one will be added.

Maybe a pic minus Bret's sunglasses? Something in the same vein as the Owen pic you did? Whatever you choose I am sure will rule! Just loving the cards you are putting out MT. Just phenomenal!

I just added Hollywood Hogan pdf (third revision), as well as a new Scott Hall. Hogan features a new "big boot/leg drop" mechanic and very minor adjustments to moveset (switched position on offensive moves L1M6 and L2M5, fixed choice situation error). Scott Hall has revised artwork, fixed choice situation error on lv3, and remixed level 3 offense.

Kevin and David Von Erich were added: stats by Chad Olson and drawings by me.
Kerry Von Erich has just been added. This one is all me: it's a revised version of the card I had posted about six or seven years ago (somehow deleted off site since then) with new art.

OK, hope this works, lol...
Takes forever for me to post anything here, but figured this was worth it. Mark, just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you publicly for all your awesome work for the community. Your artwork and stats are both top notch and greatly appreciated. I enjoy and use almost all of your guys, but have to say that the Kerry Von Erich is absolutely breathtaking. Awesome job and on a personal note, thank you so much for doing the Great Gama, too. He has been an absolute fave of mine since I stumbled across him by mistake a few years ago (I was working on the Stampede Great Gama for a friend, lol). Your suggestions on a couple of things on his stats have actually made him even a touch better than I had him and that is fitting for a man with a 50 year unbeaten streak. Great job on all of them and anxiously awaiting who we see next!!
On a side not, open question to anyone who might know... I can use the PM function here with relative ease (takes a few minutes to get the page to change, but I have gotten used to that, lol). However to actually open the threads and post becomes a VERY time intensive affair (IF this posts on the first attempt, I will have about 49 minutes of better involved in this post). If anyone can think of something for me to try, I am hoping to be able to post my own stuff on the LWA again.
