I dig the roster so far, but I mean, I am a big Jeff Cobb fan, anyhow, plus some other faves like ZSJ.

We may actually end up with a current WWE guy and a current AEW guy in this game before it comes out. Plus as New Japan guy with ZSJ, and an NWA guy with Nick Aldis. Kind of nuts.

I'm in this weird place where I'm a guy who owned a Commendor 64 and Original Nintendo but didn't start watching wrestling until the late '90s. So nostalgia for me, in terms of wrestling, is something like Warzone or WCW vs NWO lol.
Regardless, interesting looking game. Just not something that calls to me like a lot of people. I'd just kill to have a 2k-like game that doesn't suck tbh lol

I feel that I like the game in concept more than I'm actually gonna enjoy playing it. a 2 button arcade brawler just doesn't sound that appealing. I would've honestly prefer if that No Mercy clone but with indies had gotten made instead.

BTW, 2 more additions to the roster have been announced. 1 of them very timely: The addition of WARHORSE is indeed very timely. They couldn't snag Danhausen as well? Oh, you mean the Cobb dude.

Newest addition Cobb excepted, that's a very white roster.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Gangrel is one of the final slots. He finally owns his name after years of court battles, would be fun addition to the roster, brings in some Attitude Era nostalgia which is mostly missing from the roster, and is still active in the indie scene.

Well the game is planned to have DLC for (hopefully) years. A lot of guys can join over time.

I don't remember who's been in it, but I know the last few slots in the game have been decided via Twitter poll. So that's kind if on the people who voted.
Again, I don't know who was in the voting brackets, so the diversity issue could have been a problem from square one.

There were multiple brackets in the polls. Warhorse won one of them. EDIT: Looks like I may have been wrong about that.

Yeah, it was tournament that WARHORSE won. The devs have stated they would be open to DLC featuring other wrestlers in the tournament if the game sells well. I think the other division winners were Gentlemen Jervis, Matt Cross, and Chris Bey, so those would be the most likely DLC if they go that route.
