When I was reading the whole hive mind thing I was thinking that this was Tom’s way of writing the Gladiators out the story except for the occasional member. Instead it was much about nothing but maybe he’ll do more with it moving forward. But if the past sets are any indication I wont get my hopes up.
IMO the staleness that the main game suffers from is it marriage to the past. Imagine if only the same 6 teams were relevant in the NFL for over a 4 decades. The universe is a big place yet the game focuses on the same teams. The same players and the same tenants. At this point we don’t need 4 Gladiators in the fed at a time. Why do we have them? Tradition. Not because theres an interesting story there but because they’ve always been there. The reason I didnt want Commander Sam and Lord Nexus to come back is not because theyre old but because we’ve been there, done that.
The irony in all this is the focus on attracting new players and starter sets. I heard him mention on Broc’s podcast about the new EC being a starter set. The Best Of set was supposed to be another starter set. So you want to focus on New Blood just not in the game? Ok

Rising Sun and Ursa Major would be great managers. Quasar coming back as a manager and bringing a Gravity Ball style team together would be interesting. Any ex-FDF wrestler not named Sam or Massif would be interesting.

I’d love for there to be one gladiator going forward. Since it’s a whole hive mind now, why not have one gladiator representing them. This would be something new since tag wrestling has always been associated with the gladiators. I’d also love to just have a new team come out of nowhere, kinda like when we had the Citadel Of The Elite come out of nowhere (in my opinion at least), maybe someone that is a “main” that guy builds his own team. I agree with drewseph that no groups stay relevant and in charge for 4 decades.

KUDOS THRAXX & ZYGON were so cool, not just because of their badass art, because they were from Kroll - somewhere new and different.

I agree with that PP is just a place for throw away cards that they don't know what to do with. It's not really worth the value you pay. I agree with the current PP cards. PP seemed like a must have when Rob was putting together Kronos folks. I think if we used PP for additional Kronos folks, I would be all over that. Using it as stadium cards and jobbers feels “very thrown away”.
