I haven't been tracking this thread, but is there a chance Sting(crow) can be in the game?

If you watch the videos on IGN these names are confirmed in the game

1. Hulk Hogan
2. Andre
3. Bobby Heenan
4. Iron Sheik
5. Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake
6. Big John Studd
7. Junk Yard Dog
8. Shawn Michaels
9. Bam Bam Bigelow
10. Sgt. Slaughter
11. Dusty Rhodes
12. Stone Cold
13. The Rock
14. Roddy Piper
15. Ultimate Warrior

I must say I am surprised by Bam Bam, Big John Studd and Dusty Rhodes. I am happy to see JYD made it in. He was one of my favorites as a kid.

There will be another roster video on Monday.

I think the novelty of this game is great. I can't wait for it.

That's a solid first list and I saw the video yesterday as well. Nice to see that in the vids of Dusty they didn't show him with the polka dots which was a bit of a surprise to me.

I wish Macho Man would be in it... whatever happened between him and Vince must have been epic.

Well if the "sex with young steph" rumor is true then yeah it's EPIC!

Ok... I thought this was Legends of WrestleMania, and Dusty Rhodes was only in one WM. Bam Bam was only in two of them. And I'm sorry, but I would hardly call Brutus a Legend.

And from watching the videos, it looks like they are going for arcade gameplay (it was even stated as such in one of the movies). As a lifelong fan of the WWE, I find this incredibly disappointing. Nobody should be able to suplex Andre the Giant. And, in this generation of video gaming, the characters animations should not be shared, and here they are. Again, Andre doesn't "feel" like Andre should, the way that he was loosening up in one of the videos for example. And look at HBK; quite frankly, he looks awful.

I know that it may sound as though I'm nitpicking, but I'm so sick and tired of wrestling game developers being so lazy.Trust me, this is going to be a rental, and probably not too far off from the Legends of Wrestling games that plagued us a while back.

I'm going to pass.

I would say Bam Bam's match with LT makes him a Wrestlemania legend by itself. Sure, it may not be a great match or popular among diehards, but at the time it was big.

I'm debating if this is a buy or rental. I'll probably end up buying it and being disappointed later

I hope guys like Tito Santana, Ricky Steamboat, Jimmy Snuka, Ted Dibiase do make it in. Santana, Dibiase, and Snuka were in quite a few Mania's too.

Yeah...I can just imagine Macho Man saying "Break into a Stephanie...OH YEAH!"

I saw an article that speculated this, and it makes sense. Bret Hart's got a DVD, in the Hall of Fame, etc, even though Vince and Bret hated each other. Macho Man must have done something horrible to piss Vince off that badly.

Dibiase and Sunka are in but no word on the other 2. I would not mind seeing Steamboat but I am not a big fan of Tito Santana.

Steamboat would be great. I like Tito. Does he still do the Spanish broadcasts for the WWE?

How can you not like Chico Santana!?

Actually i'd love to see both Tito and Rick Martel in this game or if sales are good enough then in the next one as i'd love to see Strike Force reunited in video game form.

I am wondering if the manager Slick is going to be in the game.

# 57 funky_chicken @ 02/10/09 10:47 AM

Here are the first names announced

1. Hulk Hogan
2. Andre
3. Bobby Heenan
4. Iron Sheik
5. Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake
6. Big John Studd
7. Junk Yard Dog
8. Shawn Michaels
9. Bam Bam Bigelow
10. Sgt. Slaughter
11. Dusty Rhodes
12. Stone Cold
13. The Rock
14. Roddy Piper
15. Ultimate Warrior

Here are the next ones confirmed in IGN's video

16. Hawk
17. Animal
18. Jimmy Hart
19. Greg Valentine
20. Hacksaw Duggan
21. British Bulldog
22. Bret Hart

With Greg Valentine being in there will be at least 2 tag teams in their with the Legion of Doom and Valentine and Beefcake. If Nikolai Volkoff is in then their would be 3 with Iron Sheik and Volkoff.

I have read in a couple places that Big Bossman, Mr. Perfect, Jake Roberts and The Undertaker are in but they were not in any of IGN's videos. If they are included (which I would not doubt they are) this brings the list of confirmed wrestlers to 26.

# 58 jangotangos @ 02/12/09 11:37 PM

rajah.com has what appears to be the complete roster; it has 42 names, but no Snuka, no Savage, no Steamboat, no Sid.

MAJOR disappointment.

I was suprised by Neidhart, Yokozuna, Mr. Fuji, Kamla and Hunter Hearst Helmsley. The others names I was expecting. The final IGN video will be Monday and then all characters will be confirmed. Should be interesting who the last 10 will be.

# 60 LBzrule @ 02/14/09 08:09 AM

Any Bad News Brown, Ghetto Blaster LOL. Demolition? Roster looks good but some names should be there. Can't believe no Sid. No Razor Ramon, Diesel. Ohhh well, not getting the game right away anyways.
