So they're going to have Indy guys dress as Wolf, Star Warrior, Thantos, etc and have matches for Galacticon. God that sounds awful.

Yeah, I hate to be negative, but this sounds like something fun for the people at G-Con to do in Tom's backyard or something, not a big commerical production.
I'm VERY curious to see if there's enough support out there to get it done.

I, for one, think it is a great idea and I can't wait to support it.

If they use local guys they could probably run 3 or 4 matches for a few hundred dollars.

I, for one, think it is a great idea and I can't wait to support it. I agree. It has potential to be good. I backed the kickstarter for $50. The rewards at that level are things I'd pay for anyway. With the people involved it's pretty clear they can get good wrestlers to do this, and with SMV handling the production it will look good. It's not going to be the local bargain basement indie guys in pleather pants and wrestling shoes unless something goes horribly wrong. It's also not a new concept, just new to the game. In Japan they've done shows like having wrestlers portray the Kinnikuman characters (known as "Ultimate MUSCLE" cartoon and manga here). www.bloodyelbow.com/2009/5/29/892785/hello-japan-minowaman-gets-kinnikuSee the kickstarter page for details about what they're raising funds for and what they plan to do.

Thanks for the support toasterboy and MT.
Jeff and I had the idea to do this show, as it is something I always wanted to see happen. And why not have it at Gcon 25. Sure we could have half assed it and did it total budget, but we wanted to give this an honest shot of making it a memorable event that truly captures what a Champions of the Galaxy live event could be. We have some experienced people in place and will make it a professional product. Of course this all assumes we get the needed funding. So if you love Champions of the Galaxy and want to see these characters come to life, please consider contributing.
