And can you imagine the uproar if they hadn't put him in if he'd have returned at Payback or something like that.

I just hope DLC as a whole isn't above $20, I'm kind of on a budget here 2k.

They have to include a good amount of legends in the game, or they will lose A LOT of sales. There's a reason ratings drastically dropped after that Attitude era. Ppl like me, who no longer have interest in (todays) wrestling, won't buy the game. The ONLY reason i (and like minded folks) bought WWE 13-14 (which sold better than previous WWE games centered strictly around current rosters) is because they catered more to the glory days of wrestling. No disrespect, but the majority of these ppl couldn't care less about the current roster. We like/ remember our wrestling with an edge, and the whole PG era is just a turn off. I predict they'll have more legends than ever (fingers crossed)

They have a double edged sword here.

If they overload the game with legends they will pull in the fans like yourself, but not expose the current roster at all.

To me, exposing the current roster as much as possible is the best strategy they could have. I'd rather they sacrificed sales in the short term for longer-term gains in popularity for the current guys.

In 2008 I hadn't watched wrestling for 3 years but I used the game to get to know the current guys. I didn't know who CM Punk was for instance, but the game brought me back in and I haven't left since.

Don't get me wrong, this year's roster has been great to use, with all the legends and 30 years of wrestlemania, but the new generation is rising, the future is bright and WWE and 2K need to buy in to it.

That's exactly how I feel too. The first wrestling game I brought in years was WWE 13. I had not watched wrestling since like 2002 I believe. That game introduced me to people like Punk,Daniel Bryan,The Miz, AJ Lee.

Although I do agree they have to take the risk. Please let it be another year and not this one. I put a lot of current wrestlers inactive in my universe cause I find them really boring. I think they need more legends to balance the game and roster. I don't watch wrestling anymore cause in my opinion its a more watered product than I remember it. But I still buy the games cause their still fun and is the main thing that keeps me updated with who the current rosters are.

If we're going based off of the current WWE roster, the missing list is a little longer.

Adam Rose

Christian
David Otunga
Diego
Eva Marie
Fernando
Great Khali
Heath Slater
Hunico
Layla
