    Legends of Wrestlemania: Holes in the Roster

    Here is a discussion starter if there ever was one wrestling fans. What omissions from this roster really grind your gears? Here are a few of mine:

    The Macho Man Randy Savage

    Um, duh. Seriously, how can you have a game titled Legends of Wrestlemania when one of the true legends is absent?

    Notable 'Mania matches for the Macho Man include Wrestlemania 5 against Hulk Hogan, Wrestlemania 7 vs. The Ultimate Warrior, Wrestlemania 8 vs. Ric Flair, and of course, Wrestlemania III vs. Ricky Steamboat -- a match regarded by some as one of the greatest matches of all time.

          As for the actual article, I agree for the most part. I heard Owen's family didn't want him in the game, which is why he's absent. It's too bad as Owen-Bret maybe my favorite Mania match of all time.

          But some of the guys you mentioned aren't in the game because the roster was based off the first 15 Wrestlemanias, which was before Foley, Edge & Christian, the Hardyz, those Damn Dudleyz, etc ever made an impact.

          Plus, with the ability to import your SVR09 roster into LOW, you can have Edge & the Hardyz on the roster anyways.

          I'd like to throw Demolition in as inexcusable absences, especially when Arn Anderson is in the game when he never had any involvement in Wrestlemania.

          Although, Savage, Steamboat, and Demolition are all RUMORED unlockables. Don't know if I really believe it though.

              Doesn't Madness have some sort of beef with the WWE right now? Probably why he isn't in the game.

                Diesel is another guy that comes to mind. Kevin Nash's presence in TNA is an obvious reason why he's not in, though.

                  the rumored "beef" is that Savage had a "relationship" with one of the McMahon children when that child was underage. Hint...it wasn't Shane.

                  While it's never been 100% confirmed or denied by anyone...it's been floating out there for a while.

                    Demolition not being in is inexcusable. The were the reigning champions for 478 days(Pre-Crush).

                    The Natural Disastors should be in.

                    Marty Jannetty should be in for the Rockers.

                    Powers of Pain.

                    I would rather have someone else in Hunter Hearst Helmsley's spot anyday. He was crap until the HHH gimmick came along.

                    We're missing alot of Tag Teams and Tag Teams actually meant something back then...

                      Owen's wife doesn't want anything to do with wrestling, so she doesn't allow his likeness in ANYTHING.

                          The THQ rep in this video says unlockables do not include wrestlers. As unfortunate as that news is...

                            Don't believe the denial about no unlockable characters by THQ. They're in there and Demolition are included. It was posted on the WWE website for about 30 minutes before being quickly pulled down awhile back with shaded silohuettes of 8 wrestlers who looked very much like the following.

                            Demolition
                            Don Muraco
                            IRS or Razor Ramon (hopefully the latter)
                            Steamboat
                            Strike Force
                            Earthquake

                            If you need further proof there was a recent interview on Youtube with one of the game developers who said (either inadvertantly or was dropping a hint) that the legend killer mode comprises of going thur 5 tiers to achieve it and that each tier contained besting 10 wrestlers each tier. Last time I checked that equalled 50 wrestler and I beleive that there is 42 wrestlers currently announced. Unless my math is off that means 8 more wrestlers are missing. So perhaps legend killer mode is where they are unlocked.

                              The problem is that THQ also said there's no custom music in this game, yet GamingRing has confirmed that there's custom music in their build of the game.

                              THQ has a horrible reputation of not knowing any of the details about their game. I'm not saying there are unlockable characters, but at the same time, I don't fully believe what THQ tells me lol
