So apparently it's a Legends-less game.

That roster seems bollocks to me. Knox has been gone since December. Usually, everyone at Mania is in, so I bet Dreamer and sabu will make it. Trinity's been gone forever, and how in the hell would Mr-almost-No-TV Shannon Moore, or the Highlanders get in over, say, Charlie Haas, who has appeared a lot on Raw.

Well, it is THQ after all... but still, I'm pretty sure that roster is fake as well. When IGN or Gamespot post a roster for the game, I'll believe it.

So, we're getting the Highlanders and Cryme Tyme but not Cade and Murdoch? That sucks.

I'm not buying this list until IGN posts it. And since IGN is a bunch of liars, I won't buy that, either.

Fake.
IGN usually posts the roster around late August. I doubt that you'd see the Highlanders and leave out the legends entirely.

THat's a fake list not the real thing, no full roster list has been released as of now...

Another way to tell it's fake: The current SD tag team champs are featured in the game.

I just talked to a friend on MSN, and he is going to Tokyo in two weeks. And guess what I convinced him to find and buy for me from there?
King of Colosseum 2.
If he manages to find it, all I have to do then is to mod my PS2 and I'll be a very happy man. And with FPWR's release approaching, the future suddenly looks very bright.

Anyone able to tell me about those slide card thingies that you can use to play imports without having to open up your PS2? I think someone from here used one of those.
Anyway, I was considering buying Swap Magic + slide card, but I when I mentioned that on another board I was told that these things are apparently somewhat hazardous to your PS2's health. Anyone able to shed some light on this?

That roster is definitely bullcrap. No Tommy Dreamer in ECW, and no Cade/Murdoch on RAW? No RIC FLAIR!?
.....actually, I could almost believe that.

I'm sure Cade & Murdoch will be in it. But if not..
Does THQ purposely leave out important tag teams? 06-MNM 07-Londrick 08-Cade & Murdoch?

Just Bring It greatness: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtXoCIhUUCEThe sad part? That commentary is actually BETTER than in the newer games. At least Cole occasionally calls moves there.

Considering that THQ (and the game title) state that ECW will be invading, it would be stupid of them not to add more ECW originals, at least Tommy Dreamer. My main request would be that they offer downloadable characters that aren't on the in-game roster and are made by THQ that would be available through the PS3 and Xbox marketplaces. Or at least make the CAW trading better. And finally if you have not seen it yet, IGN has a fighting style video that shows The Sandman lighting a table on fire at the end, so hopefully that'll be in the game.

Except WWE gave up on the ECW Originals a while ago. Your new ECW of guys like Lashley and John Morrison will be the main focus. Sandman's just there to make people think the game will be hardcore.
