Grappler fits right into my plans. His card will be used pretty much right away, along with Atlas and Leaping Lanny.

Now I really, really want Tony Anthony. Someone has to have contact info for him, right? I'd buy a set that's just him and Steve Armstrong so I could run the Southern Boys vs. the Grapplers/Dirty White Boys all day long.

I'm looking forward to Legends Madness and the Grappler is a great addition and now I'll be watching my Portland Wrestling dvd collection with those dvd's that have the Grappler on them...

I'm really excited with this addition. You could run a really fucking kick ass territory with a lot of flexibility now.

So the sets have arrived and the names have been released. If all is on the level, the surprise 'gift card' is a huge name. Be interesting to see how it is promoted after the holidays. Unless part of the 'deal' is that it wasn't promoted. Will be one I use for sure.

and interestingly, he fits right into the PNW talk we've been having.

My set didn't come today, but checking the name on the main board...holy crap. Part of me is excited and part of me is sorry I spoiled myself. I don't think I've ever been surprised more by a signing--I never thought he'd be one to agree to something like this without somebody paying up.
Mike Graham actually intrigues me. Not because of his card by itself, necessarily, but because it would seemingly open the door for an Eddie Graham card as well.

Yeah I came about the surprise name for this set and all I can say is "WOW!" And I am pretty stoked about it being a HUGE fan of this said wrestler! This is quite the signing and is a pretty big deal! Awesome!

My set finally arrived and mostly looks good. Biggest surprises for me were how weak Doug Gilbert's card is and how strong Lanny's ended up being (Rahl-wise anyways)

Well Gilbert's shouldn't be all that good. Lanny's shouldn't either but I guess his ought to be a tad above Gilbert. I don't care about Rahl ratings though so I'll see the cards some day.

Yeah, Doug was essentially a jobber in WCW and he was never a top of the line card except for in the GWF.

I wasn't expecting a top of the line card, but someone slightly better than Danny Doring or Cousin Luke.

It's also possible Poffo is better than he should be because he asked for it that way. After seeing the surprise guys, I decided to go ahead and order, and try doing a fed again (first time in a WHILE). Been wanted to get back into playing for a while, so hopefully some cool new cards will do it

So how many have received their sets yet? Still waiting on mine. Can't wait to get the new cards in my hands and start integrating them all into my feds.

I got mine today. I would have been very surprised at the huge name "holiday card" had Tom not made the move of retweeting something by a guy who got his order and tweeted a picture of the card in question. Tom should have known he spoiled the surprise for all of his twitter followers. BUT it's a great gift, an amazing card, and I am very thankful to receive it.
That one accidental spoiler aside, I'm really pleased with everything about Legends Madness. I would NOT take those "Rahl ratings" as gospel about where the cards stand stat-wise until you've seen them in person. AS we've discussed at length there are quirks in the ratings that can make cards look ratings-wise like better or worse performers than they'll actually turn out to be. Wildfire, Lanny comes off as very humble and is well aware of his place in wrestling. There's NO WAY he'd ask for a better card. Lanny's card looks just about right to me; he'll be competitive but will lose significantly more than he'll win.
This one could turn out to be one of the all-time classic editions of Legends. Everyone involved did a great job. Much credit goes to Tom, Steve Stanley, Tony Atlas, and The "Legends crew" on stats. I also can't forget the fans like Grant, Zeke, Ty, and the others who have landed some great legends for the game.
PS: I got Randy Savage card 142 in case anyone is tracking that.
