The Official WWE Legends of Wrestlemania thread
The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Jimmy Mouth of the South Hart added to Legend roster.



THQ Inc. and JAKKS Pacific, Inc. today announced that six World Wrestling Entertainment® luminaries will be featured on the cover of WWE Legends of WrestleMania. Renowned Superstars Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock, along with vibrant managers Bobby Heenan and Jimmy Hart, will set the tone for the new videogame property, which is poised to deliver a distinguished roster, arcade style gameplay and historic, vintage presentation. WWE Legends of WrestleMania is scheduled for release in March 2009 to coincide with WrestleMania 25 in Houston, Texas.

“Andre, Hogan, Austin and The Rock represent the breadth of incredible talent that players can use to relive, rewrite or redefine history in WWE Legends of WrestleMania,” said Cory Ledesma, senior creative manager, THQ. “In addition, they will have access to dynamic managers, such as Heenan and Hart, who will play important roles throughout critical gameplay moments.”

WWE Legends of WrestleMania will embrace the leading sports entertainment organization’s rich history to relive, rewrite or redefine the definitive elements of WWE from the Eighties and Nineties. Players will experience the entertaining lives of 40 larger-than-life Legends and have control over Legendary Managers, each of whom will play crucial roles in match outcomes. The game’s new grapple-based fighting system will capture the high-energy action and drama seen in vintage WWE matches, while a historically accurate representation of past WWE telecasts will set the stage, including dynamic visual treatments, signature ring entrances, renowned commentators and notable venues. WWE Legends of WrestleMania will also include a WrestleMania Tour Mode that allows players to participate in key matches from multiple WrestleMania events, a Create-A-Legend system to develop the Legends of tomorrow, as well as online functionality for players to compete on the biggest stages in WWE history.

I will have more on WWE Legends of Wrestlemania shortly in the my first ever Mike Video update. Check for that later this evening.

Also sent from THQ was the official boxarts for the two platforms that Legends of Wrestlemania will be on, the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, check them out.



IMDB has the partial roster list for THQ’s upcoming Wrestling game.

IMDB is listing the partial roster for THQ’s upcoming wrestling game. While the article lists 35 legendary WWE Superstars it is missing a few. Including the just recently announced The Rock. Here is the list of Legends IMDB is reporting to be in the game. Now keep in mind that this list may very well be incorrect. And with THQ recently confirming the roster to have 40 playable legends there are still some surprises upcoming. Also note, that this lists some possible unplayable characters like the referee, commentators, and ring announcers.

Hulk Hogan

Steve Austin

Undertaker

Rowdy Roddy Piper

Shawn Michaels

The Nature Boy Ric Flair

Bret The Hitman Hart

Miss Elizabeth

Jerry The King Lawler

The Million Doller Man Ted Debiase

Yokozuna

Brutus The Barber Beefcake

Haku

Mr Perfect Curt Henneg

Davey Boy Smith

Rick Rude

Jake The Snake Roberts

Jim Ross

Mean Gene Olkerland

Bobby The Brain Heenan

Honkey Tonk Man

Ricky The Dragon Steamboat

Hawk

Animal

Sgt Slaughter

The Mouth Of The South Jimmy Hart

Iron Shiek

Tito Santana

Gorilla Monsoon

Earthquake

Mr Fuji

Virgil

Howard Finkel

UPDATED: 12/01/08

We have received word from THQ that the roster list on IMDB is incorrect. Expect more information on the roster shortly.

I see this as more of a "gouge more money out of the fans" rather than a testing platform.

Would I love to see a new engine? Absolutely, the SmackDown! engine has gone three console generations and wore out its welcome about three games back. And I think this is the perfect opportunity. But I don't think we'll be seeing one until, at earliest, the end of this generation.

I hope they put Owen Hart in it, but I would say its unlikely that they will, but I guess there is always hope.

I totally agree but I don't know if his widow Martha would let him be in it because if I recall she still hates WWE.

Yeah, and its a shame because a game like this would be awesome to make the Hart Foundation. Just like it would be cool to make the Kliq, but with Nash being in TNA, it'd just be one short.

Yeah I'd imagine so. But I'd imagine they'd need his permission to use his likeness in a game. Which I can't see it happening while he's with TNA. Which means unless they put Fake Diesel in the game, then I don't see him being in.

This game is LEGENDS of Wrestlemania.

If you add up how many LEGENDS in Wrestlemania, wouldn't the entire roster be about 7 or 8 people?

But yeah, its no legends of wrestlemania game if Warrior and Savage arn't in.

I want Virgil, Pete Rose, Paul Orndorf and Mr. T

I'm excited about the news that you can import wrestlers from SvR 09 into the game. That way HBK, HHH, Undertaker can be in plus Ric Flair if it turns out he won't make it like I've heard.

I really wish they'd expanded this to "Legends of Wrestling" or something (yeah, I know the title's taken) so they wouldn't be contained to one promotion.

If anything, I'd love to see them put out "Attitude Era" and include the big three from the 90s.

Well honestly, I think "Legends of Wrestlemania" is just more name only than anything. And a lot of those guys have either burned bridges with the company or are currently in TNA.

Unless they want to include Mean Mike Enos and Kenny Kaos in the game.

I mean Austin, Rock, Hogan, Flair, HBK, Hart, Taker, etc are going to be in the game already. And with the ability to import guys from Smackdown vs. Raw 2009 into the game, you can also have Hunter, Cena, Batista, Edge, Orton, Jericho, etc.

Oh and evidently Gamingring has a demo of the game and have stated that both The Ultimate Warrior and Yokozuna are in the game.

Well, exporting characters from SvR'09 thoroughly suggests that this game will have similar, if not identical gameplay mechanics.

Want to know the real scoop on WWE Legends of Wrestlemania? Gamingring brings it to you.

Earlier this week, rumors regarding THQ’s upcoming WWE Legends of Wrestlemania video game had circulated the internets. Evidently videogame website PSXExtreme.com posted a preview of the game and in that preview let slip one tiny nugget of information. “For starters, you have a game backed by a proper license, allowing THQ to utilize every bit of WWE’s assets with ease. In total, 40 of the WWE’s greatest superstars and managers have been virtually cast for this Legends game, including Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior, Yokozuna, The Undertaker, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Jerry Lawler, Ted Dibiase, Mr. Perfect, and many more.”

Here is what I can tell you based on what I know for fact about this game. The gameplay elements they discussed was based on the preview build that was shown behind closed doors at E3. I can also state based on a conversations I have had previously with my sources regarding Legends of Wrestlemania, much has changed since then gameplay wise.

In regards to the roster, I can also state that pretty much everything else is either fabricated and/or taken from the rampant internet speculation behind this game. So at this point, I would not be putting your Warrior Makeup and tassles out of the closet just yet to celebrate.

Look for much more from WWE Legends of Wrestlemania in the near future right here at Gamingring.com.

Sounds like it's a "dumbed down" Smackdown, didn't realise it was possible.

http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3172047&p=4

WrestleMania has several different nicknames: The Granddaddy of Them All, the Super Bowl of Wrestling, or as I like to call it, "that really expensive wrestling pay-per view." But regardless of which name you prefer, WrestleMania's by far the WWE's biggest annual event. To coincide with the spandex-filled extravaganza this year, publisher THQ's leading a new videogame grappler to the ring. Its new digital superstar, WWE Legends of WrestleMania, is a simplified version of its franchise series SmackDown vs. Raw that focuses solely on the iconic event itself. As not to double dip with SVR, all the matches in Legends will be from past WrestleManias. For instance, you might remember Hulk Hogan versus. Andre the Giant from WrestleMania III. Ring a bell? If not, stop reading this preview -- you obviously don't understand the appeal of underwear-wearing meatheads. For those of you who do remember this iconic match, would you like to relive it? Well, you better, because that's practically all you do in Legends. To make things interesting, though, you're given a variety of in-ring objectives that you must complete during each match. These objectives are mostly events that actually happened in the real-life match. For instance, in the Hogan/Andre match, you'll have to break the 500-pound giant's bear hug, just like Hogan did. While it's not necessary to complete every task during the match, you must complete enough to go on to the next match. Plus, doing so will give you points, and everyone likes points -- especially when they help you unlock stuff (though at this point, we're not sure what you can purchase).

Click the image above to check out all WWE Legends of WrestleMania screens.

OK, you've beat Andre -- now what? Well, you have two other options (at the moment, at least): You can play the Rewrite or Redefine modes. Rewrite lets you do just that: rewrite history. That means instead of Hogan getting all the glory for pinning a heavy man with severe back problems, you can change history and let the giant squash the orange-skinned immortal. The Redefine mode lets you fiddle with the options. So, say, you want Hogan to face Andre in a Lawsuit with Vince McMahon on a Pole Match. Well, you can't -- that match doesn't exist. But if it did (or was an actual selectable match type), you'd successfully be "redefining" the match.
In an effort to appeal to the casual ring rats, THQ's making the controls for Legends super simple. Even simpler than SVR. That means all the cool stuff you'd expect from SVR (Ultimate Control Grapples, analog stick grappling, etc.) will sadly not appear in Legends. Instead, everything is mapped to the four face buttons. It's a little too early to see if this'll work or not, but we imagine seasoned SVR pros will probably miss the not-as-complex-as-THQ-thinks-they-are controls. But like the WrestleMania event itself, THQ's hoping to bring in a broader audience, so maybe it'll work. Or, maybe, it will last as long as a Mike Adamle's stay as Raw's General Manager. Let's hope for the former.
We'd tell you more, but Legends isn't ready to show off all its goods just yet. So far, we can only confirm the following Superstars (or "Entertainers," if you want to be politically correct by the WWE's standards): Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and the Rock. Small list, sure, but it's pretty obvious it'll balloon up once the game's ready for the ring in March 2009.

Kind of odd, seeing you can transfer SVR characters over. Perhaps you can chose between SvR controls or basic? And I hope this Wrestlemania main events thing is the 'story' mode, and you can still play exhibitions and stuff.

Im assuming that screen is from the ps3 version given the mixed 2d and 3d crowd.

I think they need to go watch some videos of mania 3, hogan looks like he's got a near full head of hair in that scren.

Well lets face it, all the other 'recent' games that featured Hogan wouldn't allow him to remove his bandana.
