No, not Legends of Wrestling. It's a game being made by the same people who make Smackdown vs. Raw. I didn't bother to play SvR around the time it started putting years into it's titles, because then it was obvious it was going to start being like Madden with constant roster updates. This however looks promising because it has people I actually care about, although the only confirmed "Legends" are Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant. They have promised about 40 Legends to appear though.

Another thing I like is that they say they won't be recycling moves from SvR, but my only real quirk with the game is that "Macho Man" Randy Savage most likely only has about a 3% chance of appearing in the game.

Ken Shamrock is a WWE Legend? Since when?

Posted: Aug 11 2008 06:21 pm

Since he signed the Legend contract.

I mean, why wouldn't he? Now he gets a cut of any "Classic" action figure they make of him.

Posted: Aug 11 2008 06:48 pm

So all those guys are on Randy Orton list? Damn, he has some work to do.

Well damn, if Ken can sign one I need to get down there ASAP and sign up for one too.

Let's see...*Looks at the list Knyte posted and guesses which ones are almost guarenteed*

I'd say Legion of Doom, Ted DiBiase, Sgt. Slaughter, Bret Hart, Jerry Lawler, Undertaker, Ric Flair, Mr. Perfect, and Shawn Michaels all have a great chance of getting in. But I'd really like to see Razor Ramon and Diesel in as well despite Kevin Nash being on TNA's current roster. Vader and Jake Roberts would be nice as well.

Look at all the fucking jabronis on that list. I demand Macho Man in the game, not to mention Macho King,

I find it hard to believe Bruno Sammartino and Ultimate Warrior will be in the game. Both of them hate the WWE with a passion.

I also find it upsetting that Owen Hart isn't in the game. Also, how about Syd Justice?

Too bad Larry Zbysko never worked for Vince...

I expect Owen to be in there, the WWE would be assholes if they didn't include him. As for Bruno and Warrior, I am sure if they have any say at all, they will not appear in the game.

Repo Man and the Mean Street Posse FTW.

Posted: Aug 11 2008 09:59 pm

I would play is Captain Lou Albano had an alternate mario costume.

Posted: Aug 11 2008 11:21 pm

Mr. T and Cyndi Lauper need to be in it.

I see Chris Benoit did not make the list...(too soon?)

Considering it's WWE and that they so far are trying to ignore his whole existence, he unfortunately has next to no chance. =\

Yeah, on WWE 24/7, the last episode of Nitro they acually showed him, (They usually cut out his matches and such) standing with the rest of the 4 horseman. They did a really bad edit job too. Tony Shivonne was like, "All the Horseman are here and they are ready to fight! The newly inducted enforcer, Curt Henig! The muscle, Mongo McMichael!, The......*BLIP* And, the forth man, and leader of the group, The Nature Boy, Ric Flair!"

I think the whole thing is stupid. 99% of everybody admits that what happened wasn't Chris. It was not something he could have done in his right mind. They all blame Concusions, Anti-Depresants, and Steroids. So if nobody blames him, why erase all the good things he did? And, turn thier backs on how he entertained the fans?

It isn't so much that they are blaming Concusions, Anti-Depresants, and Steroids, they are trying to explain why he did what he did. I am one of the supports of keeping Chris in any hall of fame he is in, but I don't believe his personal life sure take anything away from his wrestling skill, otherwise I'd demand that Stone Cold be removed from the hall of fames he is in because he is a wife beatter. That being said, I understand why the WWE is doing what they are doing.

I might actually rent this one. I havent played many wrestling games since the WCW Nitro and WCW/NWO World Tour days. But everyone knows and likes WrestleMania.

Posted: Aug 14 2008 02:04 pm

The WrestleMania games on NES, and WrestleMania X8 were all crap imo. But WrestleMania XIX was hella fun, but it didn't make up for all the other crappy games. Hopefully this one will make up for all of those failed attempts.

Posted: Aug 14 2008 03:23 pm

Off of Knyte's List of Consideration I agree whole heartedly on the following:
Special Delivery Jones
Uncle Elmer
Billy Jack Haynes
The Killer Bees
Butch Reed
The Red Rooster
The Texas Tornado
Repo Man
Skinner
Beverly Brothers
Giant Gonzales (Loved the muscle suit and fake body hair, also still think his WCW name "EL Gigante" was better)
Adam Bomb (One of my all time favorite characters that I wished had taken off)
The Bodydonnas
Savio Vega
Flash Funk
Bull Buchanan
Maven (Terrible eye brows, great dropkick)
Luther Reigns
Joey Mercury
Eugene
Dave Taylor

I think these would be the best additions, also some celebrity valets would be awesome (i.e. Alice Cooper, Cyndi Lauper, Joe Fraizer etc.)

Posted: Aug 14 2008 03:31 pm

If not Adam Bomb, then Crush. There's already Ax and Smash,

Posted: Aug 14 2008 05:50 pm

Ahaha Luther Reigns, I remember him, his name makes me almost burst out laughing alone and being Kurts bitch for a few months wheeling him down to the ring all the time.

No, it's just that his finishing move was really, really disturbing.
