After visiting THQ headquarters last week for their presentation of WWE Legends of WrestleMania, our imagination ran wild of potentially reliving matches of WWE Hall of Famers and legends. With a solid cast of more than 40 wrestlers, the roster is looking tremendous for hardcore WWE fans, but there’s always a possibility of more. With that said, here are 10 wrestlers (in no particular order) with their infamous matches, that we believe need to be included in the hopeful future downloadable content (DLC).
1. “Macho Man” Randy Savage Match to Relive: WrestleMania III - “Macho Man” Randy Savage vs. Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat
The fighter that is going to be missed the most is the obvious exclusion of Randy Savage. Due to the relations he currently has with the WWE, he may never be included in future download releases. So what we’ll do instead is continue to dream of reliving our favorite WrestleMania classics that included the Macho Man. From Savage’s match against Ted DiBiase to his classic against Hulk Hogan, there’s a plethora of matches to relive.
2. Ricky “The Dragon” SteamboatMatch to Relive: WrestleMania III - “Macho Man” Randy Savage vs. Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat
If it wasn’t for Savage’s exclusion, Steamboat would be the easiest choice out of all the fighters missing from WWE: Legends of WrestleMania. His classic match with Savage set the bar high for future matches, so his absence from the title is a real head-scratcher. If not for his match against Savage, Steamboat faced off against Greg Valentine who’s already on the character roster.
3. Owen Hart Match to Relive: WrestleMania X - Owen Hart vs. Bret Hart
One of my personal favorites – due to my admiration for both Hart brothers – Owen Hart deserves a spot in WWE: Legends of WrestleMania if Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart is able to be considered. We’d even consider his tag-team match with his brother-in-law British Bulldog against Mankind and Vader to be a perfect match to relive. The problem is that both Mankind and Vader aren’t in the game, so it would require introductions of three fighters for one tag-team match.
4. Razor RamonMatch to Relive: WrestleMania X - Razor Ramon vs. Shawn Michaels (w/ Diesel)
One of the classic matches of all time, Razor Ramon deserves his slot in WWE: Legends of WrestleMania for his excellent work in the first ever Ladder Match at WrestleMania against Shawn Michaels. It’s often considered one of the five best matches in WrestleMania history, so it’s odd that Ramon isn’t in the game. Outside of his match with Michaels, only his short match with Jeff Jarrett needs mentioning, but Jarrett will never be included in a WWE game with his involvement with the TNA.
5. Kevin Nash - DieselMatch to Relive: WrestleMania XII - Diesel vs. The Undertaker
A match between two giants, Diesel (a.k.a. Kevin Nash), didn’t have too many memorable WrestleMania battles. There could be room to showcase Diesel’s involvement in his match against Shawn Michaels, but that would also have to include Pamela Anderson, Jenny McCarthy, and Sycho Sid. So here we stand, we’d love to see more giants from WWE past to be included in Legends of WrestleMania and it would begin with including Diesel in a future download.
