Tom announced on Twitter last night that he signed Johnny Saint. At age 69 he currently wrestles in Chikara. I'm guessing we might see him get a card in both Legends and Chikara at some point. I honestly dont know much about him but he looks pretty cool.

He definately fits into the Legends, as he wrestled a bunch the guys in the sets. I know High Spots did a DVD package on him, but I have not seen it. Very limited exposure to JS, but he is supposed to be a techincal wizard

Any of these Legends that are appearing in Chikara like Saint, Toyota, Aja Kong, make a Chikara card if you want to but they absolutely should have a regular Legends card.

It'd be odd getting them as SEs for Chikara since they're not even regulars, I'd much rather just have them in LOW. As for Saint being signed, this is fantastic news. I've watched a lot of him recently, and I wouldn't mind having more of the World of Sport era guys (Robbie Brookside and Marty Jones namely, hell even WOS rules with them) in LOW. Very limited exposure to JS, but he is supposed to be a techincal wizard I'm trying to think of the best comparison and this is all I've got - he was pretty much, as far as technical ability goes, the Bryan Danielson of his era.

I'm not sure of the direction yet, but I would like to see someone like Saint in the next Legends set in his prime, along with a different color Chikara card representing his time in that fed. I think there is room for lots of Chikara special guests to have cards in the Chikara game.

Would be a great idea Todd, I looked on the Chikara message board, but I mostly saw regular posters on there. What's the feedback on game play, flow of the game, etc., from those who've never played? I'd love to see some on those what they think. We all know we love the game, but I'd love to some on the potential new fan base which would only help COTG, Legends, etc.

Here's another match with Saint vs Finlay. I'd love to see Finlay make to legends someday in his prime not the WWE version

Got Night 2 of the Chikarasaurus weekend, which has Quackenbush and Saint vs. Cabana and Johnny Kidd. Fantastic match, though it had relatively no "big" moves, it was basically straight mat wrestling with some comedy spots so I can get why some people who were there live didn't enjoy the match as much as others.

A couple of the guys were buying non-Chikara sets and were really getting into the game. Not sure why there isnt much feedback on that site yet, but new fans are being found thats for sure.
