For years Filsinger Games has paid tribute to the storied past of professional wrestling. Now here comes a set that honors the superstars that will help define the industry for years to come.
These wrestlers have already made their mark in federations like CHIKARA and Ring of Honor. Two of the featured wrestlers, ADAM PEARCE and MIKE QUACKENBUSH are the current National Wrestling Alliance Heavyweight and Junior Heavyweight champions.

There will also be changes in card art with some Limited Edition drawings used in place of the first edition drawings (for example, the superb limited edition card art for Hawk and Animal) and some totally new art too! In fact you've got a sneak preview right here with the new art for Nikolai Volkoff clothed in his classic Russian garb!

One of the great heel managers in wrestling history is set to enter the LWF...and there will be hell to pay! Abdullah Farouk began his career on an infamous note as the manager of the Sheik, leading the Detroit madman into battle against legends such as Johnny Valentine, Bobo Brazil, and Ox Baker. Then he moved on to larger territory as the manager of wrestling stars such as Don Muraco, Greg Valentine, and Cowboy Bob Orton. The men who've been managed by Farouk are a "who's who's" in professional wrestling, including the likes of Killer Kowalski and the Masked Superstar.
However Farouk is best known for leading the dangerous Sheik into battle. Can Bobo Brazil and others handle the Sheik now that he's got a conniving, rulebreaking manager in his corner? Does this mean we'll see even more of the dreaded FIREBALL? It's a very real possibility. Abdullah Farouk will be released as a Limited Edition card with the upcoming LEGENDS TEAMS game edition. LEGENDS TEAMS was big enough without Farouk...now it's over the top! Joining Lou Albano, Bobby Heenan, and Jim Cornette, the LEGENDS game series boasts the greatest managers in wrestling history and now Abdullah Farouk will join the ranks! LEGENDS TEAMS will be officially released at GalactiCon 2006 in Jamestown, New York on July 8. For those who cannot attend this convention the game will begin mailing on July 11.

Koloff also was successful as a tag-team wrestler winning the tag straps many times in several federations. He has teamed with such notable wrestlers as Nikolai Volkoff, Mad Dog Vachon, and Ray "the Crippler" Stevens.

Along the way he grabbed championship gold and garnered plenty of heel heat. In addition to being managed by Bobby Heenan, Curt has feuded with other Legends stalwarts such as the Road Warriors, Nick Bockwinkel, and Diamond Dallas Page. Legends Teams is the sixth edition in the incredible Legends of Wrestling series, which covers the rich history of professional wrestling in game form.
