The one thing i've really been wanting from these games is not a legends mode - we get them every year; what I want is the NXT roster being included in the game. If they want to put legends in, then make a "legends of Wrestlemania" game again. I would get far more use from guys i've never used before being on the roster. Yes, cause the general public would much rather buy a game with guys like Bo Dallas and Leo Kruger over guys like Hogan, Savager, Andre, and Warrior. They are going to cater to the masses, not the two people who watch NXT. It's not like the game does massive sales each year anyway. May as well do something different instead of letting your community do all the work and end up creating them. If they wanted to sell more copies, they'd have to make every character in the game the Rock.

Just because it's not Call of Duty sales wise, doesn't mean it doesn't sell. More people bought last year's game because of Attitude tie in.

Because they hadn't done the attitude era before. That was something that people have wanted for quite awhile.
The Ultimate Warrior is this years big name; I don't think he was in as high demand as the attitude era or guys like Macho Man. I don't remember the legends of Wrestlemania game selling well despite having all these characters in it. I more people buy these guys for the current era than they do stuff from the early 90's. I could be wrong though

OK, I'm going to guess the guys from the current roster that get in... basically, it's just who were in PPV matches between Royal Rumble and WrestleMania, plus a few others (italics are already in). Bo Dallas, Epico, Primo, DiBiase, and Kidd won't be iin the game, let alone as DLC.

Possibly, possibly... Never count out laziness as a factor, though. Most of the work for The Colons and DiBiase is already done from last year's game. All they'd need is a fresh attire.

My whole point is, you're going to get more sales out of including guys like Hogan and Savage than you would including NXT guys. It's not like they are keeping CM Punk out of the game so they can include Rick Rude.

This may be the year Rosa Mendes finally appears as a valet.

I'd just prefer they do something fresh; they could even use NXT in a story. Choose a member of the NXT roster and try to make it to the Main Event of Wrestlemania over a year period. Just something I would prefer from the series that's incredibly stagnant.

Few obvious matches missing but that's what having to account for Biker Taker, Warrior, and most likely Kurt Angle not being in will do to ya. Kurt might have a slight chance if only because Hogan is in the game. Also, if we do get early 90's Taker, there's a chance Taker could have his own separate story mode where you play though the streak. I'd imagine Cena's first Mania match (Vs Big Show for the US championship at XX) would be featured.

Well if Rob Van Dam could show up in SvR 2011 and Austin Aries could do voice work for WWE '12, then why couldn't Kurt make an appearance?

Makes me wonder how they'll handle duplicates. The more recent Manias could all just be alternate attires for their 'current' counterparts. They can fit most of Cena's wrestlemania stuff under his current model, just with color changes, but the trons won't quite match.
Then again in Attitude era mode HBK has different colored attire just for the mode, you'd have to use Superstars threads to change it yourself.

WM XIV: Shawn Michaels vs. Steve Austin Undertaker vs. Kane WM XV: Steve Austin vs. The Rock I hope these matches aren't in because they were part of WWE 13's Attitude-Era Mode. It would be pointless to do them again.

Given we're getting American BA Taker, the logical assumption for a Legends of Mania match would either be X-7 with Triple H or X-8 with Flair. Either or both would be good inclusions.
Predictions for the Legends of Mania unlock path:
WM I: Piper/Hogan (modification of the tag team main event) WM II: Hogan/Bundy WM III: Hogan/Andre, Savage/Steamboat WM IV: Savage/DiBiase WM V: Savage/Hogan WM VI: Hogan/Warrior WM VII: Savage/Warrior, Taker/Snuka WM VIII: Piper/Hart, Flair/Savage WM IX: Hart/Yoko WM X: HBK/Razor WM XI: Diesel/HBK WM XII: Hart/HBK, Diesel/Taker WM XIII: Hart/Austin WM XIV: HBK/Austin, Kane/Taker WM XV: Rock/Austin WM XVI: HHH/Rock/Big Show/Foley WM XVII: Rock/Austin, Triple H/Taker WM XVIII: Rock/Hogan, Flair/Taker WM XIX: Rock/Austin, HBK/Jericho, Hogan/Vince WM XX: Kane/Taker, Big Show/Cena WM XXI: JBL/Cena, Eddie/Rey WM XXII: Triple H/Cena, Foley/Edge WM XXIII: Cena/HBK WM XXIV: HBK/Flair WM XXV: HBK/Taker WM XXVI: HBK/Taker WM XXVII: Triple H/Taker, Hart/McMahon WM XXVIII: Triple H/Taker, Punk/Jericho, Rock/Cena WM XXIX: Punk/Taker, Rock/Cena
Just guessing in terms of possible unlocks and characters. Could be wrong, probably am.

I can't imagine any Warrior matches or Biker Taker ones will be in, given they're DLC and all. Only way I could see one of them showing up is if they have in Hogan / Sid and Warrior does a run-in.
Which would get Papa Shango in. That'd be neat, could finally have him face Barrett.
