dubq Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 Compilation video of roster updates 1 and 2: http://blip.tv/file/1758465/ (free of any commentary in between, etc).
Angle-plex Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 Those IGN updates are unwatchable. The IGN guy in particular is awful and annoying.
ChrisMWaters Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 While I was at work today, because we were deader than George Washington, I decided to compile a list of possible entries into Legends of WrestleMania that aren't in the game already, according to the various media (except for the first two, as they are almost likely from what I've heard). Except for one on my list, I made the cut-off time WrestleMania XV. -The Big Boss Man -Mr. Perfect -"Macho Man" Randy Savage -The Undertaker (Classic Look) -Eddie Guerrero -Yokozuna -Sid -Ax -Smash -Tully Blanchard (to go with the Arn speculation -Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart -The Honky Tonk Man -Owen Hart (BIG doubtful on him, due to his wife's hatred of WWE right now) -Earthquake -Vader -Mr. T (another big doubtful, but who knows) -"Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff -"Cowboy" Bob Orton -Don Muraco -The One Man Gang/Akeem -Hillbilly Jim -Tito Santana -"The Model" Rick Martel -Haku -"The King" Harley Race -The Barbarian -The Warlord -Nikolai Volkoff -Bad News Brown -King Kong Bundy -Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat -George "The Animal" Steele EDIT -Mike Rotundo/Irwin R. Schyster -Barry Windham (if Rotundo look is in game and not just IRS look) -"Ravishing" Rick Rude EDIT 2: -Razor Ramon And managers -Paul Bearer -"Classy" Freddie Blassie -Slick -Captain Lou Albano -"Luscious" Johnny Valiant -Elizabeth -Sunny (though the only WrestleMania she appeared at on the main Mania card was XIV, managing LOD) -Paul Ellering (also LOD manager, but only was there for a promo they did at VIII)
YourKock'sReallyGreat Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Posted February 11, 2009 Where is IRS on your list? He was a multiple WWF Tag Team Champion with 2 different partners at WM 1 and WM IX. There is a rumor that he is in the game due to a Money Inc sign n the stands. You are missing Ric Rude as well. IC Champ, upper mid card heel. Dynamite Kid is another potential Legend Nikolai Volkoff as well unfortunately.

Also, IRS was tag champ at 8 as well.
ChrisMWaters Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Also, Nikolai is on my list. Dynamite I left off due to his outspoken-ness against the business. ...maybe I should add him though...I mean, Warrior got in. *Shrug* I'll leave him off for now. He's a "Diesel" for me. A "Diesel" being a VERY light chance of being in, lower than Owen or Mr. T. Diesel could be in because WWE owns the name and the general look, but doesn't have the rights to make him look like Nash.
YourKock'sReallyGreat Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Posted February 11, 2009 You still left out the Dynamite Kid. Davey Boy is in the game. Dynamite should be easy to make in CAL if he doesn't make it in.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 One would guess that anyone who was in the Impact game has a liscence contract with either TNA or at least Midway at this point. and Nash was in that game. So someone who isn't THQ has the rights.

So someone who isn't THQ has the rights. Right. Hence the following will most likely NOT be in the game: Kurt Angle Road Dogg Billy Gunn Mick Foley Kevin Nash (Though "Diesel" could still make it, just not make him look like Nash) Scott Steiner Rick Steiner (via association) Jim Cornette
The Ghost of bps21 Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Foley has probably never been asked about his rights for gaming purposes...but I remember an article where Vince said he didn't want him in the game. THQ may actually still have his...he worked for the company very recently.

What was the last WWE game that Kurt Angle was in before he went to TNA...so I can see the time frame that game was made and released? EDIT: Added Razor Ramon to my list.
Vigo Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 This game needs to have that cheesy Wrestlemania song in it. You know the one that Linda McMahon uses as her theme music only it's the instrumental version.
Dobbs 3K Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 It would be funny if "Razor" and "Diesel" were in the game, and they looked like Rick Bogner and Glenn Jacobs.
ChrisMWaters Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 It would be funny if "Razor" and "Diesel" were in the game, and they looked like Rick Bogner and Glenn Jacobs. Or even worse, the imposters that Mr. Kennedy brought out a while back during his feud with Shawn Michaels.

Or even worse, the imposters that Mr. Kennedy brought out a while back during his feud with Shawn Michaels. Dude, that'd be awesome. I'd love a videogame with Mikael Judas, Phil Shatter, and TJ Mack
The Ghost of bps21 Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 I just had a flashback to Kennedy thanking the Razor for showing up just after Hall noshowed the TNA ppv.
Guest Smues Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 This game needs to have that cheesy Wrestlemania song in it. You know the one that Linda McMahon uses as her theme music only it's the instrumental version. That would make it worth $60 right there.
Boner Kawanger Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 So is Flair in SvR 2009 and thus unnecessary for the roster or will a classic Nature Boy be in it?
YourKock'sReallyGreat Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Posted February 11, 2009 Rumor has it that Flair, Old School Undertaker and HHH are all going to be in. Waste of spots if you ask me since they are all in Smackdown.
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 But I'd rather play with Flair against Hulk Hogan or Roddy Piper than Mr. Kennedy.
YourKock'sReallyGreat Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Posted February 11, 2009 But I'd rather play with Flair against Hulk Hogan or Roddy Piper than Mr. Kennedy. Flair already is in Smackdown and you can import most of the roster into LOW.
LivingLegendGaryColeman Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 While I'm not surprised HHH is making the game, if this goes up to only WM 15, that means we are most likely to get Blue Blood HHH, right? He was a Blue Blood for 12 and 13 and skinnier, long tights for 14/15. So if he shows up in current form, that will definately be a waste of roster spot (with the Smackdown importing) and go against the "only up to WM XV" we keep hearing now.

The Ghost of bps21 Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 I know they're using that legends of Mania term loosely at best... But Michael Hayes??? He was in, what, the gimmick battle royal at Mania 18? And that's it? Without the other Freebirds it makes even less sense. I mean...I know why he's there...but come on.
YourKock'sReallyGreat Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Posted February 11, 2009 Koko B Ware? Michael Hayes? Kamala? Where is Steamboat? Thq lost alot of money in 2008 and this game is looking like a must buy to a weekend rental.

YKRG is doing a lot of whining in 2009. I am not the only one. Everybody on ignboards, gamefaqs, caws.ws forums are complaining about the roster. This is the one game I was really looking forward to.
