    Why Vader?

    I know he's a classic and one of the baddest men in WWE history (possibly). But who actually uses him?? Why did they decide to add him for the legends over a ton of other possibilities? Especially when the WWE is loaded with big men...Henry (who is pretty much identical size), Show, Kane, Taker, Lesnar etc etc...just curious as to what they're thinking was on deciding to add Vader over others. I'd like to see someone like Cocoa Beware, or Honkey Tonk man, or Brutus Beefcake, or British Bulldog. Someone more fun to play with. Vader is so boring imo!

    Partly because he's awesome and partly because he's someone for the WCW storyline in RTWM.

        He's one of the best heels in the history of the idustry. Not to mention one of the best "big guys" in the history of the industry too. Add in the fact that he was well known for aerial moves despite his size, he's a good add. They really could've done a lot worse.

        His 2nd WCW theme is his bet theme though and he should of had his head gear he used to wear to the ring. Only thing I'd change.

          Hard to replace Vader with someone who doesn't exist. Who is this Cocoa Beware, the chocolate man? I know of a Koko B. Ware, you know, the Birdman. But no Cocoa.

                  He did have one of the greatest matches ever in all of wrestling. But to be fair, he is still with the company on some semi level. That's probably why.

                    Wow, people demanding Vader and Steamboat be removed for no use, but demanding Koko B Ware....

                      Anyone who can have their eye pop out during a match and just pop it back in and continue the match is a hard mofo in my book lol.

                      I dont use Vader in my Universe but i dont mind him being in the game.

                        Re: Why Vader?

                        My whole point was that Vader is just flat out boring to play with. His entrance is boring as well and nothing exciting there. I like to be excited to see a "legend" being introduced, like the road warriors and demolition. Their entrances get me excited to see them wrestle in a match. Vader's entrance does nothing for me...

                        A guy like Koko B. Ware, while he was a jobber he had a fun character. The other guys I named...Brutus the Barber Beefcake, and Honky Tonk Man...those guys had high character and would be exciting to watch come down the aisle with their music I enjoyed seeing as a kid. I'm not saying Vader is worthy to be in the game as far as a famous, and very good wrestler. Just curious as to why him when we have guys like Mark Henry and Kane, who are similar in style to him. And the Vader is just boring to watch and use in the game.

                        Who can honestly say they use and seriously enjoy using Vader in this game?? I doubt very many. On the other hand, Steamboat...while not great I guess, is alot more enjoyable to play with. I think they need to look at the "fun factor" when deciding who to add in as legends that's all. Mark Henry is boring ro play with as well, but since he's a current wrestler I still enjoy using him.

                          The name Steamboat and the phrase "not great" should never, evvvvvver be used in the same sentence.

                            I don't get how Demolition's entrance can excite you when it wasn't even done properly.

                              WCW Vader was one of the greatest heels ever (until Hogan showed up). WWF make him soft.
