Supposedly, there's going to be tons of old wrestlers from the past glory days of Wrestlemania. I just hope they go back to older game play, use real entrance music, and don't skimp on the details. For instance, Ravishing Rick Rude was a legend in the past Samckdown vs RAW, and they used music he barely used and he didn't walk out with the robe on. No real details on the game have been announced at this point. I'm looking forward to it though. I hope it doesn't disappoint. I want guys like Tito Santana, Big Boss Man, Andre The Giant, Million Dollar Man, Macho Man, Ultimate Warrior, etc in this game. I hope they don't try selling a lot of today's midcarders as "legends."

I would love it if they went back and used an engine based off the N64 wrestling games, those were so good. I don't want it to be Smackdown vs RAW, just with Legends instead of current wrestlers.

I have no idea how they wanted to tinker with what was working. I will probably buy this game just on nostalgia alone, but I hope they put more effort into the wrestlers and the gameplay than usual.

The last SD vs RAW was TERRIBLE. They put in these new "fighting styles" that screwed up everything. Certain wrestlers couldn't do certain moves with their "Fighting style." Every wrestler went from having about 30 moves to having 16. They got really lazy with it, most of the wrestlers didn't even have new attire, just the same wrestling gear as they did the year before, which is ridiculous. The roster was smaller than the year before, the Legends were downgraded (Eddie Guerrero was only available on the PSP, WTF?!). Just a terrible junk of a game. WWE owns WCW and ECW, this Legends game SHOULD be huge. I'm not thrilled it's being called "Legends of WrestleMania," as that could limit them when including WCW and ECW Legends. I'd love to see Kevin Nash in there. I know he's with TNA, but he has a good relationship with HBK, HHH, and Vince. I want to see: Razor Ramon (with an nWo alternate attire) Hulk Hogan (with Hollywood alt.) DDP Taz Sabu RVD Ric Flair Arn Anderson Ole Anderson Tully Blanchard Dean Malenko Bret Hart Owen Hart British Bulldog Brian Pillman Stone Cold The Rock Andre the Giant Mike Awesome Mr. Perfect Lex Luger Brock Lesnar Cactus Jack Terry Funk Goldberg Ricky Steamboat Earthquake Typhoon Dibiase IRS LoD Demolition The Rockers (1990's alt. for HBK) Shane Douglas Chris Candido Bam Bam Bigelow Randy Savage (with an nWo alt.) Sycho Sid X-Pac (with nWo Syxx alt.) Justin Credible Lance Storm I'm sure there's a bunch of guys I'm forgetting. This game has a lot of potential. But knowing WWE and THQ, they will screw it up. We'll see Doink in there, along with Triple H and John Cena, I'm sure.

They could always use their rights to WCW and ECW for some old school cards like Starrcade and such. I also excluded some obvious ones that I don't the WWF has signed a Legends contract with. To use them, they have to have them agree to it. Sadly, Macho Man and Warrior, among other obvious ones, will be excluded. 1. Hulk Hogan 2. Tito Santana 3. Ricky Steamboat 4. Greg Valentine 5. Andre The Giant 6. Roddy Piper 7. Macho Man 8. Jake the Snake 9. Bret Hart 10. Jim Neidhart 11. British Bulldog 12. JYD 13. King Kong Bundy 14. Rick Martel 15. Honky Tonk Man 16. Ted Dibiase 17. Bam Bam Bigelow 18. Ravishing Rick Rude 19. Ultimate Warrior 20. Ax 21. Smash 22. Big Bossman 23. Shawn Michaels(Rocker gear and HBK) 24. Marty Jannety 25. Hacksaw Jim Duggan 26. Earthquake 27. Brutus Beefcake 28. Hercules 29. Mr. Perfect 30. Undertaker 31. Hawk 32. Animal 33. Ric Flair 34. Tatanka 35. Sid 36. Doink 37. Razor Ramon 38. Yokozuna 39. Diesel 40. Stone Cold 41. Triple H 42. The Rock 43. Mankind 44. Vader 45. Kane 46. Big Show 47. Edge 48. Matt Hardy 49. Jeff Hardy 50. Eddy Guerrero 51. Chris Jericho 52. Bradshaw 53. RVD 54. Rey Mysterio 55. Randy Orton 56. Batista 57. John Cena 58. Vince McMahon 59. Chavo Guerrero 60. Shelton Benjamin

Savage, who competed in 9 out of the first 10 Wrestlemania's and won the WWF Championship at two of them, is being regarded by THQ as a huge loss to the video game. In addition to Savage, McMahon has also made the decision to pull Mick Foley from the game even though his character had already been created. McMahon made the decision following Foley's departure from WWE and announcement that he has signed with TNA. Several other names were also removed from the game at McMahon's request, but those names have yet to be released. Vince is a horses ass, plain and simple.
