I'm pretty sure Osk is who talked to RVD and got him. Tom had to work out whatever arrangement with the people representing Andre. Tim Dalton did a lot of the work to get Mrs. Thesz to say yes. No one incredibly huge from the last set but I got Dundee, Molly and Jazz.

No one incredibly huge from the last set but I got Dundee, Molly and Jazz. Osk and Tim work for Filsinger Games in an official capacity, so that's cool with me. Osk actually has a position with the company, as it were. Again,if it were me (and this is just one man's opinion) I'd let those guys do the work and just enjoy the product (which, not coincidentally, is what I do). Ty, you went above and beyond by getting Bill Dundee, and how did THAT go? A bitch-fest about a bonafide legend being part of the game! That's when people probably just need to keep opinions to themselves. I have not cared for a few of the names (either as people from my limited knowledge of them or as performers) but you'd never know because I never made it out to be a public crime against humanity that they are included in this lovely card and dice game. Anyway, thanks for that bit of insight, Ty.

Osk is the only one making money as he and bds are now running online. The LOW staff designation, which they were nice enough to put under my name on the other board, is just that - a title. There's no money being made. Official capacity, yes, since there's a few of us that have the signing form and are allowed to talk to people about being in the game. You left out Chad Olson as far as those you named as having an official capacity. Put Todd and Rob on there, I guess vegas and grant since they have been allowed to sign wrestlers too.

I wasn't really doing a listing of everybody, just commenting on those you mentioned. I know the deal with the guys who do the stats for the legends cards, that's why I made the distinction that Osk has an "official position" with the company.
You also answered my question from a few posts ago when you mentioned that these are people that have the Filsinger Games forms in possession. I did not know how that worked, but I got these visions of over helpful fans going up without approval and badgering any and all wrestlers at conventions and shows while claiming to work for the company or something*. I can just see some guy who read about fans "signing" wrestlers getting the wrong idea and trying to make money offers with a wrestler or something. Like just going way overboard. The part of me that enjoys those kind of uncomfortable incidents gets a kick out of that idea.
*and no, I don't mean the core of sensible and reliable guys. We know who they are.

It's a gray area with a fan telling a wrestler about the game, but not being able to close the deal themselves. I'd probably like to have someone just tell them quickly about the game and if they are interested ask for contact info to pass along to FG. Say a wrestler likes it a lot and says yes, well that person can't do anything more in that case. You're right, lots of potential for something to go bad as well. Hopefully anyone that does discuss the game with a wrestler doesn't say they are representing FG.

Yeah, a few of the fans kind of scare me with their comments. I am definitely thankful for those who can actually get people signed. I know there are complaints (there will be complaints for just about anyone though. I enjoy everyone even if I won't use them much if at all)

Afa Jr aka Manu is the final guy in the LOW set...you've gotta be shitting me. Really, you have got to be shitting me. Not to be that guy, but there wasn't anyone better for this set than him? I mean I can probably find something for Doane/Lash and definitely Kurrgan, but not Afa Jr. I mean, more guys in LOW is usually a good thing, but when it's Afa Jr, I'm not so sure.

I'll buy it because I have use for three of the four guys, I'm just kind of shocked he was even signed, much less in a PDF set.

Nifty art, though Werner really does good heel art.

Does anyone have any idea about the move sets ? I am curious to see how they will do the PACKAGE PILEDRIVER.

I'm sure they used his WWE time for the stats. I have tons of his WXW footage but doubt they looked at any of those matches.

I was just looking him up... I had forgotten he was in the original Legacy storyine. He probably had as much TV time as Ken Doane in WWE, and was FCW champ at one point... I'd say he fits in with the other guys pretty much.
