Wcw had a loaded roster around the time mayhem came out so why did it have such a hodgepodge of a roster?

Per my memory, it had a pretty loaded roster. Who was missing?
Bobby Blaze was unlockable.

Yeah, WCW Mayhem was damn near as complete of a roster you could expect. The only major name that's really missing is Sid Vicious, and that's likely because he debuted too late in the game's development.
Other than him, you have to dig deep into the lower card to find snubbed names like Brian Adams, Kendall Windham (the only missing West Texas Redneck), Vincent, etc. I guess the whole First Family is missing except Jimmy Hart, so maybe there was someone bummed they couldn't play as Hugh Morrus or Brian Knobbs, though perhaps the Faces of Fear is a decent snub. Or maybe some of the lower tier luchadores like El Dandy (EA doubted him!) and Silver King, but they even got Lizmark Jr. in the game.

Man, I loved this game. It sucked shit but it was a huge step up over the previous WCW games on PlayStation.

Per my memory, it had a pretty loaded roster. Who was missing? Bobby Blaze was unlockable. Bobby Blaze. Bobby. Blaze. My only memory playing Mayhem was when I wanted to see if I could win a battle royal as quickly as possible. I picked Goldberg and made the other opponents Bobby Eaton, Sgt Buddy Lee Parker, and Bobby Blaze. The match began and Blaze walked over and flung me over the top in like 5 seconds. Then he walked to the ropes, stepped through them, and hopped on the floor eliminating himself (which you could do on Mayhem for some reason). His work was done apparently. Then Eaton and Parker fought to a stalemate for the next 10 minutes before I finally quit.

Why could they not have put Ultimate Warrior in? The game was released in August 1999 so the development window for putting roster people in would be the last few months of 1998. Which spans Warrior's entire WCW tenure, in fact. Was it a money argument? Because WCW and EA both had tons of money and weren't afraid to spend it, I would think they would get Warrior in the game at any price they had to, because Warrior would be a big get for that roster.

Actually, I freakin' loved this game back in the day. It played like garbage but I loved the arenas, backstage areas.. it did have a great roster, and the commentary was, and still is superb.

I remember playing as Mongo all the time because of his tombstone. Any wrestling game with Mongo in it has a complete roster. Even in game form, Mongo was the best.

Oddly enough, Warrior almost made it as an EXTREMELY last minute addition to Revenge if you followed the development of the game back then. The rap on the message board was that THQ made a last minute effort but couldn't get him where they wanted him. Similarly, "Wrath" has residue in Revenge you can get with a GameShark (in quotes because the character slot unlocks but it unlocks pretty much a blank character called Wrath.) It's all even stranger because Wrath was in World Tour, too.
