WWE And THQ Announce WWE Legends Of WrestleMania

[DC 536]

I want The Nasty Boys and Power & Glory to be in it, lol.

[Guest Jung]

I just want some original themes, that is all.

[Guest The Beltster]

I expect we will get some of those dodgy re-make themes like they gave Rude, Bulldog and others in the past SDvsRAW games. Hopefully we can upload our own to the HD and put them over the top, you cant have a legends game without that high pitched Rougeau Brothers theme!

The All-American boys one? That was a tune and a half.

[Fletch 204]

Best theme song ever!

 

The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers-All American Boys

[Guest Jung]

Man that sounds even better than I remembered, and it was already a wonderful memory.

 

Not to sound like an old fart, but they don't make 'em like they used to.

[Guest The Beltster]

Thats the one, its awesome!

 

"We dont like heavy metal, we dont like rock and roll, all we like to listen to is Barry Manilow"

 

Jimmy Hart wrote the best wrestling themes ever.

 

Man, this Honky theme was so annoying, I remember him debuting it at WMVI in Toronto, and the Bushwhackers coming out and stomping the instruments.

I'm not sure if we can call IMDB a reliable site for games but it seems to have a big list concerning the roster.

[Fletch 204]

IMDB.com is much like Wiki. If you have an account, you can edit stuff. The roster is nowhere near being announced yet, and anyone who says otherwise like that site clearly knows nothing about the secrecy within THQ game builds.

 

THQ showed off a polished and finished Smackdown vs RAW 2009 at E3, but the build specificially only had Exhibition and Create Mode on show, the others were Question Marks, and only announced matches and wrestlers were available, IE. One on One, tag and Inferno.

[DC 536]

The official site is up and has some new content (including the awesome trailer).

 

Here is the cover for the game...

Bah, Hogan should be on the cover! Sounds promising though, I like the idea of old footage being used to further the angles.

[Guest Kanenite]

Looks pretty awesome, i'll be getting this.

[Guest The Beltster]

I wonder if they will get the Warrior in there, you cant have a game where you recreate old WM main events without WMVI. Shame Savage wont be, WMV deserves its credit as the biggest selling WWF PPV ever until XIV.

[Paul 584]

Bah, Hogan should be on the cover!

 

Well, it would be one of the few things Hogan sells...

[Guest Nemesis Enforcer]

According to Wrestling Observer, Vince has ordered Randy Savage and Mick Foley amonst a few other unnamed people to be pulled from this game

 

THQ are dissapointed about Savage as they saw him as a big selling point and are angry about Foley because they had already created him

[Guest The Beltster]

Somebody who interviews Vince in future need to ask what the f*ck his problem is with Savage, I mean its really pathetic.

 

Now we lose the main event of WMV in the game, half of the main even in WMVIII and a huge WWF 80's megastar.

 

Its a joke.

You'd think Vince/WWE would have been given a list of people who were not to be included before they started developing the game.

 

Foley I can understand, as he has just left the company and Vince probably feels bitter about it, but Savage deserves to be included due to his matches at Wrestlemania III, WM IV (which is basically the Randy Savage Show), WM V, WMV and WMVIII.

I agree, whatever the problem's Vince has with Savage he should just get over them. Not saying what his problem is makes it even worse, and it really is pathetic that Vince cannot allow Savage to be in the game.:)
