WWE Legends of WrestleMania Roster Wishlist

Re: WWE Legends of WrestleMania Roster Wishlist

Tony Shiavone (thank the Lord) was never in the WWE/F.

Actually he was.

You probably have a mental block to it though. He was ostensibly hired to take over for Gorilla Monsoon but he bombed big time. I think it was 1990 or so when he was hired. He was around for close to a year. His most infamous moment was the entire SummerSlam card that year where he totally bombed and Jesse Ventura openly mocked the guy for nearly 3 hrs straight. This was the SummerSlam where Mean Gene said "F%&^k it" backstage after a prop fell.

Anyways Vince quickly realized that Tony's style didn't fit the WWF brand and Tony basically did dark matches, video tape matches and the occasional Superstars/Challenge.

Good call, SPTO. It was 1989. That Mean Gene "Eff it!" backstage thing is priceless. It's on youtube if anyone is interested.

does this game have potential? It seems like all the wrestling games released latley are pretty mediocre...

I had high hopes for this game, but a dumbed down version of Sm vs Raw is the last thing the world needs......

B. Brian Blair was the other Killer Bee...

I would like to see the midgets from the Bundy/Hillbilly Jim match (WM 3 maybe??) in the game

Re: WWE Legends of WrestleMania Roster Wishlist

I haven't been tracking this thread, but is there a chance Sting(crow) can be in the game?

Re: WWE Legends of WrestleMania Roster Wishlist

If you watch the videos on IGN these names are confirmed in the game

1. Hulk Hogan
2. Andre
3. Bobby Heenan
4. Iron Sheik
5. Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake
6. Big John Studd
7. Junk Yard Dog
8. Shawn Michaels
9. Bam Bam Bigelow
10. Sgt. Slaughter
11. Dusty Rhodes
12. Stone Cold
13. The Rock
14. Roddy Piper
15. Ultimate Warrior


I must say I am surprised by Bam Bam, Big John Studd and Dusty Rhodes. I am happy to see JYD made it in. He was one of my favorites as a kid.

There will be another roster video on Monday.
