I was bored so I tried to put together a potential Attitude Era 2.0 roster. This is based on the idea that they can actually get the rights to use Kurt Angle:
Big Boss Man
Big Show
Billy Gunn
Bradshaw
Cactus Jack
Chris Jericho
Christian
Crash Holly
Dean Malenko
Eddie Guerrero
Edge
Faarooq
Grandmaster Sexay
Hardcore Holly
Kane
Kurt Angle
Mick Foley
Mr. McMahon
Rikishi
Road Dogg
The Rock
Scotty Too Hotty
Shane McMahon
Shawn Michaels
Steve Blackman
Stone Cold Steve Austin
Test
Triple H
The Undertaker
William Regal
X-Pac
31 wrestlers in there, I picked 31 because it was the same amount of Attitude Era guys that shipped last year (including Mike Tyson who was day 1 DLC, figure they could do the same with Shawn Michaels or something this year since he'll really only be needed as a ref for the story). This also isn't too terribly different from last year's roster because it doesn't need to be.
That roster would allow them to easily do a mode running from Survivor Series 1999 to WrestleMania X7. The only main event they couldn't do is Rock/Benoit obviously - but Fully Loaded 2000 could be represented by Jericho/HHH. The majority of the important matches can be done. Including Shane taking sick bumps (vs. Big Show and vs. Steve Blackman). Also Dean/Scotty from Backlash 2000 as a bonus match, because that match ruled.
The Hardyz would fit really nicely if they can be allowed into the game, but I wouldn't bet on it. Also Chyna would be a surprisingly good fit for the Jericho and Eddie storyline but I don't think they'd allow it since it'd mean a man has to strike a woman, which has been banned from WWE games for a few years now.
