"The goal of the game is to explore wrestling's rich history," said creator, Tom Filsinger, a wrestling fan himself since he was a young boy. (See Tom's wrestler tributes.)

"The LEGENDS OF WRESTLING Card Game is a game for true wrestling fans," he continued. "It's not being released by a huge corporation with just the bottom line in mind. It's being released by wrestling fans for other wrestling fans."

It could be said that the LEGENDS OF WRESTLING game system has been play-tested for 16 years. The game employs the same realistic, fast-action system used successfully by CHAMPIONS OF THE GALAXY since 1986.

Several LEGENDS OF WRESTLING playing cards have been released in the past few years. The first LEGENDS OF WRESTLING card (Greg Valentine) was released by Filsinger Games in 1998 and a King Kong Bundy card was released in July, 2001 with several more cards released since then (including Ted DiBiase, Iron Sheik, Nikolai Volkoff, Johnny Valentine and more). The Box Set will include most of the cards released so far and more. The main artist for the series is Sonny Strait, the director of the upcoming DragonballGT cartoon series.

The LEGENDS OF WRESTLING card game allows players to start their own federation (the LWF or Legends of Wrestling Federation). Players can schedule dream matches, such as Harley Race vs. Nick Bockwinkel or create a dream tag-team of Johnny Valentine and Greg "The Hammer" Valentine.

LEGENDS OF WRESTLING is a card and dice game that features playing cards for 24 professional wrestling legends! The playing cards have a drawing of the wrestler on the front and game information on the back. For example, the back of the card features the wrestler's favorite moves (such as Jimmy Snuka's SUPERFLY LEAP finisher) and other realistic characteristics specifically catered to each wrestling legend! LEGENDS features a fast-action game system that allows matches to take place in real time. You can play alone or with friends.

The LEGENDS OF WRESTLING Box Set includes 24 wrestler playing cards, dice, playing charts, instruction book, and game handbook. You'll be the promoter and booker for your own wrestling federation featuring the greatest roster in history! Each expansion game adds another 12 cards to the game!

"I want to create a game that wrestling fans won't be able to put down," says Tom Filsinger. "I am fascinated by the history of professional wrestling from Frank Gotch to the present. And I want to honor that history with a game that wrestling fans of all eras will enjoy!"
