Fascinating thread. Learning of the depth/breadth of these WCW games is amazing. Smackdown vs raw 2006 Spike Dudley Charlie Hass 2006?! They were both released in 2005 - plus Spike (and the Dudleys for that matter) had been off TV since late 2004/very early 2005, I thought, so him being on that roster makes even less sense.

And Matt Hardy was left off 2006 why? He returned and feuded with Edge during that summer and I think the cut off dates were Summerslam

Although I've always known WWE stopped giving a hoot about Matt very quickly - hell, he was eliminated by Viscera at the 2006 Rumble.....VISCERA, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.

RVD in the original Legends of Wrestling. This was one of my first thoughts too. Perhaps the strangest thing about the Legends of Wrestling roster was that both RVD and Jerry Lawler were in the WWF by the time the game was released. And (arguably) the game's biggest star, Hulk Hogan, went back there just a few months later. Eddie Guerrero stood out in the last two games in that series. Not only was he under contract, but he was the WWE Champion when "Showdown: Legends of Wrestling" came out in North America. When it comes to WWF/E games, Ken Shamrock was available via "cheat" code in "SmackDown 2: Know Your Role" for PS1. So was Big Show. How about Joy Giovanni's appearance in SvR 2006? I almost forget that she even existed.

Barry Orton was in a video game. Yes, Barry O.
In one of the early Fire Pros, they had the masked Gaspars in New Japan. The Gaspars were Cowboy Bob and brother Barry under goalie/Jason masks.
In real-life, the Gaspars only wrestled around 40 matches. They were put in the game because they were active while it was being developped.
That would also be one of Cowboy Bob's very few video game appearences.

Vansack Acid was in one of the KOCs.

I don't remember The Freebirds being a huge part of WWE then. I mainly remeber Hayes as Dok Hendrix.

Is it weird that Viscera was "unlockable" by creating him in the first Smackdown game

Is it weird that Viscera was "unlockable" by creating him in the first Smackdown game As were guys like Mideon (in his only video game appearance outside of WrestleMania 2000), Albert, Stevie Richards and EARL FREAKING HEBNER! The fact that it was JUST hayes was the most baffling part since they had him in his Freebird gimmick The game was also focusing on the first 15 Wrestlemanias. I don't remember The Freebirds being a huge part of WWE then. I mainly remeber Hayes as Dok Hendrix. Now that you mention it, it's even more weird because the only WrestleMania match for Michael Hayes was the Gimmick Battle Royal at WrestleMania 17. Actually, you can say the same thing about Kamala.

Rvd in the first legends of wrestling game for me too. Rvd is a legend today, no question. But this was 2001. He was on the cover as well. Pure commercialism as he was hot at the time from ECW.

I read in the trivia for this game on IMDB and the reason that RVD and Sabu were in the first Legends of Wrestling game was because initially, LOW was supposed to be the third ECW game but then ECW closed its doors. I can only guess that models for those two were made in advance and were used for that game. Here is one that I am surprised wasn't mentioned: Ken Shamrock in No Mercy. He had been gone for more than a year up to that point.

Any of the guys that make you say "THIS Guy made it in, but (insert prominent character here) didn't?"
Usually someone who hasn't done anything in months or were released long before the game comes out.
Like Kharma inexplicably being in more than one, let alone just one game despite the fact she never wrestled one match and only appeared for like barely a month and hasnt been seen since.
