From the official board With Tom having so many irons in the fire with the new GWF set and the Stan Lee book project, there really wasn't much to talk about. However, we did raise a couple hundred bucks for the Dan Gable International Wrestling Institute & Museum with some auction items and did have two signings from the banquet: First is potentially for another LOTF set - a midwest indy guy, CHANCE CORDOVA. Second is 1968 Greco-Roman Olympian and former Mid South North American champion BOB ROOP. Roop was also a big star in Florida. He was thrilled to be in the same game as Danny Hodge, but felt it would take more than dice for him to beat Danny. We haven't done the full background search yet, but I know he held tag titles with Harley Race and Bob Orton Jr. and feuded with Ted DiBiase, Dennis Condrey and Pepper Gomez. I'm sure there are more LOW connections that we'll find once we do the research. In addition to these two, Tom is continuing to try to get new leads. As we both mentioned at the convention, the best way to get someone on board is face to face. Things like e-mail and website contacts just don't work since they can't get a feel for what the game is all about.

I like the signing of Roop. He can help round out the mid-card and also play into the Ted DiBiase angle back from Mid South

Looking forward to getting Roop. With who they have signed, and if Tom really does go ahead with Bret Hart like he's thinking..........could be an awesome set. (Even better if he includes Farmer Burns who has been dead for 70 years and availalable)

Well I know the Hart's work on "Hart Time" which means they don't forget you it is just a matter of getting back to you or that is how I have read it works. Who knows maybe Bret finally got back to Tom. I will be VERY happy if we get Hart and the Love Brothers in the same set!

Bret gave Tom the okay at some point to be in the game, though he never signed an official release. Tom said that he might just put him in the game anyways and go from there.

And I will send you PM's about it until the card is in my hands! What a cruel fate. Onlything worse would be getting PM's on why Umaga is a draw and about Randy Orton's tan and body parts.

I'd think it would be easy to check in.. he could work in something like: "I'm ready to do a card of you, I wanted to check and see if I can do one for your dad too"

Well getting Bret, Stu and Owen in the same set would be mind blowing!
