Geez...only the fact that Matt Hardy is in this game makes this roster's midcard slightly redeeming, but to exclude The Intergalactic Karate Kids, when at the time of WM they were being a serious threat to MNM's title reign...such blasphemy. Well I was expecting them to exclude Kendrick, but London too? That is awkward.

Yeah...now it just seems that they threw London in the game (SvR 2006) in the first place because he was CW champ at the time they made the game, which is bizarre. I'd say that they excluded people who aren't that great on the mic...but Lashley's in this.

BTW i am going to squash the hell out of Khali I'm sure that every move you try to hit will be countered with a chop. Thus making it impossible to beat him.

I just also realized that given all the omissions, half the cruiserweight division is not in this game either, which means that they'll be continuing Gregory Helms' proud tradition of never ever ever ever ever defending his title.

The roster, while disapointing..at least has MIIIIIIIIISTTTTERR KENNEDY! So that's a plus for me. I kinda wish they would eliminate the diva matches all together and go back to the ability to fight in the crowds and throughout the arenas. I'd also hope they fix the cage matches. *No idea if this was adressed in '06* but it has always taken 20 minutes for you to climb out of the cage, then when you get to the top, your charecter just sits there like an idiot, waiting to get knocked down making having anything other than a 1 on 1 cage match nearly impossible to win.

They'll always have Divas in this game, since a percentage of the buyers get the game partially, or even primarily, for the 'Bra and Pantiez' matches.

They shouldn't even bother with the divas.

The cage matches were much easier in last year's game. You just have to press the button to climb up, and then press X to escape.

Yeah, you can't include cruiserweights that became tag champs, but we can definetely include the guy who didn't wrestle for a year (not a slight against Hardcore at all, it's a slight against WWE, Yukes and THQ for making all these roster decisions while on Acid)

I don't expect any ECW guys like Sabu or Sandman, even as legends. Sure, I was surprised by Umaga and Khali, but I think it's too late for Sabu. He may have signed that contract back in March or so, but he didn't debut until around June/July.

Khali and Umaga made it in? THQ have improved big time.
Oooo, and Burchill, C4 time, baby!

Hopefully they won't screw that up like they did with Carlito (when they gave him the Overdrive instead of his actual finisher at the time, which was the Rolling Cutter). Speaking of Carlito, he damn well better have the Backcracker in this.
