| #2 Posted on 7.8.03 1325.01 Reposted on: 7.8.10 1329.03 | Dont forget the legends, from the exact same article:
*Sgt Slaughter *Hillbilly Jim *Road Warrior Hawk *Road Warrior Animal *"Rowdy" Roddy Piper *The Iron Sheik *Nikolai Volkoff *George "the Animal Steele *"The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase *Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka
Plus a few more who are "still under negotiation". I'd really be shocked if Andre doesn't wind up in this game, considering his appearance in No Mercy. Also, Hulk Hogan and Nathan Jones are both *not* in the game.
EDIT: Oh, and there's also no Chuck Palumbo for, really, no logical reason. I mean, no one's really going to miss Chuck, but with Nunzio and Stamboli in the game, he does seem like a logical inclusion. Oh well, that's what CAW is for.
EDIT II: I swear none of that was up there when I posted this. >
EDIT III: Well, just so I feel like I'm contributing something, here's the box:

| #7 Posted on 7.8.03 1438.09 Reposted on: 7.8.10 1438.29 | N-O-B-L-E. Someone please put that in the FAQ. He wasn't particularlly over in WCW with that name and he's had the K-less name for over a year and still you're not the only one and I don't know why it drives me insane but...oh, yes, the point
My theory is that for all the "updated recently!" stuff IGN says, this is a roster from earlier this year with a couple high profile additions (Ultimo). Guys who were injuried when they planned out the roster (Kidman, Kanyon) or hardcore Velocity/Heat guys (Noble) or maybe not yet signed (Spanky) get left off. With Batista on the roster, they must've picked the guys just before he got hurt.
I'm guessing Steven makes it because he was Victoria's valet and so tangentally important, and Johnny because they occasionaly used him on RAW? Or maybe someone just told the game people "Hey, we're gonna use Stamboli more down the road, so stick him in there." Sable probably took five minutes to create (4 minutes on the breasts, 1 minute on the moves) so that's no biggie.
But Christian, I've got no explaination for that one - if Lance made it, he's got be on there. | Spaceman Spiff

I hope they get to add Spanky in there. Or at least add in his name for the ring announcer to say. He shouldn't be too hard to create if they put in his glittery shorts.

| #19 Posted on 10.8.03 0115.22 Reposted on: 10.8.10 0115.25 | That box cover with Brock angrily clutching Torrie Wilson proves once and for all that the video game industry needs something better than "RP" to show than a game hasn't been rated yet.
Melon Head's mention of Gowan blew my mind for some reason. I don't imagine the thought of having to create the appearance and animations for a one legged guy had crossed a programmers mind until this point. It would be largely cool to see it happen.
That legends thing is kinda weird. Aren't at least half (or most) of those guys in the Legends Of Wrestling games? Just seems odd.
Also, I laugh at Hocking and his girly games. Despite Eddie's mention that Buffy will now be ruining (haha) August, this month still kicks October's ass with Madden 2004, Silent Hill 3, Soul Calibur 2, and "a few weeks later" on 9/9, ESPN NHL Hockey. | Excalibur05

Laugh all you like, I like me some games that are actually good. You know? Good. Madden will only run me $25, so that won't be sooo bad, and I'll wait on Soul Calibur for a while. As for the rest of your "cool" games, whatever man.
Last I heard, Buffy was slated for an early November release, so this is a pleasant surprise. Kinda. Now I'll be poor going INTO October. Damn. |
