I think you have to have ricky steamboat based on the match with savage at 3, king kong bundy he was in the main event at 2, Razor Ramon, Rick Rude, and definitely Andre the Giant. I'm not sure about licensing issues and all but i'd add these guys. I'd say Diesel too but i'm pretty sure he couldn't be in the game due to being in tna.

They own wcw right? I want nWo. Right now.

# 9 DJ @ 06/18/08 10:35 AM

Well, if it's Legends of Wrestlemania, then we have to ONLY include guys that actually wrestled in a Wrestlemania.

So, all those suggestions of WCW, NWA, WCCW and ECW guys don't apply to this game.

# 10 Chavez21 @ 06/18/08 02:50 PM

Knight1337, it's a game for old wrestlers. You are never going to have realism because there are going to be matches with wrestlers from different eras. Brock Lesnar and Bruno Sammartino can wrestle right now since they're both alive, but the game isn't going to have Sammartino at the age of 72.

PS. The Big Boss Man is dead and so is Terry Gordy of the Fabulous Freebirds.

# 11 adembroski @ 06/18/08 06:21 PM

Pepsi Crystal... brave man to show your age like that.

I actually liked that stuff:P

LONG READ because i WAS a wrestling freak back in the day.....This topic really hits home with me because two years ago I emailed IGN my draft ideas for a WWE Legends game. It was called "WWE: Prime Performers." It had a complete roster with entrances, attributes and finishing manuvers. AND each character would be created resembling the prime of their careers....I wish THQ would change the title name from Legends of Wrestlemania to Legends of the WWE. That way they could include a lot more memorable charcters. If you look at the title realistically, WCW and ECW legends have no chance of being in this game because they use the word "Wrestlemania" in the title. Guys like Sting, Shane Douglas, Vader, Terry Funk, and Diamond Dallas can not be added because they did no headline Wrestlemanias. With that said, Im sure they will mess up the roster for the game BUT here is my roster I personally would like to have for "WWE: Prime Performers."

1. "The Immortal" Hulk Hogan (1989)
2. "Macho Man" Randy Savage" (1991)

5. Andre The Giant (1975 with the afro!!)

8. "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels (1997)
9. Triple H (2002)
10. "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff (1987)
11. Mankind (1997)
12. "The Ultimate" Warrior (1990)
13. "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith (1992)
14. King Kong Bundy (1986)
15. Jake "The Snake" Roberts (1992)
16. Yokozuna (1993)
17. Kurt Angle (2003)
18. "Road Warrior" Hawk (1991)

I remember growing up one of my favorite wrestlers was Brian Pillman. Aside from that Snuka and The Warrior

# 14 psukylen @ 06/19/08 12:23 PM

Uncle Elmer, and the natural disasters (Earthquake and Typhoon), love the big boys.

# 15 Shadymamba @ 06/19/08 02:21 PM

anyone not associated with this era!!!!! early to mid 90's and before LOL!! even stables from back in the days ie. Hennan Family, DX, NOD, Corporation...and Manager's too Slick, Mr. Fugi like i said anyone before this ERA lol

# 16 LinebackerU_31 @ 06/19/08 06:56 PM

i dont think anyone has mentioned "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes or Jerry "The King" Lawler

# 17 Mhancock @ 07/03/08 05:47 PM

Let's not forget the little guys, too! The guys who made it possible for these Legends to become Legends. Anybody Vince McMahon owns the rights to needs to be on this game. Period.

Uh..... The big bossman is dead!!!!

That was kind of funny really!!!!!

Sting was never part of WWE. He was part of wcw when it was purchased, but he never joined the fed.

If this is a legends of wrestlemania game, I can't see how you could consider guys who never wrestled under the wwe name.
I can see the argument for some of the wwe guys who weren't necessarily in wrestlemania, but may have taken part in storylines leading up the big day...

It would be awesome if they added some story lines to the game. You could even build in a trivia concept trying to make decisions based on what really happened in the real life story lines. I truly believe story lines should be available as dlc, that would really build on the re-playability of the game.

I would also like to see an up to date wcw game... then add some dlc of current wwe guys that you could use to build a new stable and invade nitro. Thus creating a new NWO.

The possibilities would be incredible!
