The Collector was the one who changed him from Mr. Galaxy into Dynamo

Hmm. I don't remember that. Not that it didn't happen. I'm just too lazy to look it up and see.

[wildman]

I barely remember it it happened back in 2097(1993 our time)

I will give you that one, that was the Franc's only success.

Chopper was much better than any other incarnation, before or after., and was pretty successful for me.

It would have been cool to have the collector work some moe guys through the Workshop. Like I said earlier, a very good idea that I am very glad see return.

[wildman]

Chopper was better than Earthquake and Powerhouse. I enjoyed using him in lumber jack matches.

[GalactiKing]

Chopper was great. He and Cannibal I think could have been a real spoiler tag team (not the best tag team but could beat any team any night), but were split up before they got a chance.

I don't think Dynamo was a member of the Workshop. After he split with Vanity in 2094, he joined Guile's team and remained there during the time the Workshop disbanded.

That's the way I remember it as well. I don't remember the collector being involved at all.

/me Chris consults The GWF Files 2

Nope, nothing there either.

[wildman]

I dont know bout the GWF Files, They changed too many finishers from what they originally were

[Darth Turkish]

I do not recall the GWF Files changing finishers, only using common names for the moves (like DDT) instead of the explanations (he grabs a front facelock on his opponent, and drops hard to the ground, trying to drive the opponent into the mat head first)

Ex: Talons Prey was originally a cross body block, The GWF files says it was a frog splash, the Titan Drop was Farooqs Dominator, now its a Samoan Drop

[thefamoustommyz]

...

The Titan Drop was never the Dominator.

The original description was "falling reverse power slam". While that doesn't scream "Samoan Drop" to me, it sounds closer to Scott Hall's fallaway slam.

And Dynamo was never a member of the Workshop. While he was becoming Dynamo, the Workshop was transforming into the Brotherhood of the Occult (a waste of a fantastic idea, the Workshop, being turned into Overlord's Jobber Central).

it is way too early in the morning, and I am not going to go searching through my handbooks just yet, but I would hardly consider one or two changes "too many".

Perhaps you remember incorrectly, or perhaps you interpreted a description incorrectly, or more probably, as with happens with me, you changed the wrestler's finisher, and thought that was the original description?

[Chris Ingersoll]

The said:

Correct. (I interpeted the original description as a Samoan Drop slam from day one.)

And if I could remember which version of Talon had "Talon's Prey", I could probably also assert that it was never a cross body block, but I won't be able to do that until I get home.

Even if that one's wrong, though, the fact that Files 2 gave us descriptions for The Liberator and Gamekeeper Trap -- which never existed before -- I'd say that evens out.

[thefamoustommyz]

Which in turn messed with me, as I always filled The Liberator in as a tornado DDT, so the legdrop seemed...lame...=)

Actually, the Talon's Prey was always a cross body block or splash, but GWF Files 2 calls it a frog splash, so I'm not sure where the problem comes from.

The Deadly Descent is a flying clothesline, maybe that's where the confusion comes from?

Tommy

I always knew what the deadly descent was. Talon is one of my favorite characters

[jester]

Don't forget Gordo's own words, "I always thought I was Polish, but okay, I s'pose so." He'll go gimmisk Cossac Warrior for a while but he'll face turn in 3 or 4 sets and become The Polish Power of the CPC.

[rcdestroyer]

I am afraid for Gordo, for in my opinion he's destined to become a 'mollock' type... a follower it would be a waste of a good charachter...who would have said that a couple of sets ago...anyways A history lesson that you guys are probably aware of:
Collector managed King's court for awhile and Defender didn't like him, defender is now Franco Jesterelli perhaps a 3 way feud between King's court, collector and jesterelli is in the works that would be fun

[soug]

the collector idea is cool.its a great way to make a dud wrestler into something interesting.some characters dont always work out.this is a clever way of giving the character a second chance.gordo needs improving,he has no character,charisma etc..but i really hope it doesnt become usa vs russia!!actually that might work!then i can send the iron shiek after them!! ;D

[wildman]

If anything, Gordo and Kulak will be getting updates. Xenia doesnt really need one, except maybe a new look to fit her new image. Her card is fine the way it is.

[GalactiKing]

Xenia's likely going to get a Special Edition card in 2120. All three of them are getting new cards in 2119. Can't wait to see Gordo's especially.
