Old vets or new vets?

No hate to Grizz, but he's not even CLOSE to being half as good as Illimit.

DaDDiO & iLLimit deffly lead the charge in my eyes, but a number of the older heavyweights havent aged well at all.

As far as skill alone goes, i'd say the "golden era" heavyweights are better than the new era heavweights, whilst the golden era mid card was worse than the new era mid card.

Either way, keep pushing people! the throne is there for the taking.

More so these days I agree for the most part. MahVulvas, Chizzle and LEFT FIELD are the stand outs in that area for me. I don't like MahV for the same reasons I don't like ReeFer or Phroxen, I find they have waaaaay too much rhyming over punches. Chizzle seems all over the place reading back, and LEFT FIELD would probably just be a bit too basic if you were reading back now.

The mid card is an interesting point tbh. The mid card on LB now is generally filled with solid punches and decent technique.

Who do we class as the old school mid card though? At the time, I guess I'd of thought of it being like Rain and me etc, but I guess that's because so many people were given HW status.

I suppose, if you're to arrange skill levels as the card levels, it'd have been like Olde English, WAR TANK, Multiple Madness, Orei Boi, Pulse etc?
