6. Mankind – Cactus JackMatch to Relive: WrestleMania 13 - Mankind & Vader vs. Owen Hart & British Bulldog
Mick Foley has had a storied career in the WWE, but his involvement in WrestleMania’s before WrestleMania XV wasn’t a huge success. His biggest match, without introducing a plethora of new characters, would be his match with Vader against Owen Hart and British Bulldog. Even if he didn’t have a lot of WrestleMania epic battles before XV, players still yearn to relive the historic battle between Mankind and The Undertaker.
7. IRSMatch to Relive: WrestleMania IX - Money Inc. (Ted DiBiase & IRS) vs. The Mega-Maniacs (Hulk Hogan & Brutus Beefcake) w/ Jimmy Hart
IRS wasn’t a massively successful single’s competitor, but he was apart one of the most famous tag-teams from his time. Teaming with “The Million Dollar Man”, IRS was often one-half of the tag-team Money Inc. Against the Mega-Maniacs, IRS had a gigantic victory over Hulk Hogan and Brutus Beefcake at WrestleMania, thus, we’d love to be able to relive the match.
8. Lex LugerMatch to Relive: WrestleMania IX - Lex Luger vs. Mr. Perfect
Lex Luger never won a title when he was with the WWF, but he did win over a few fans with his bodyslam of Yokozuna. Along with his “All-American” persona, Luger’s success went as far as being disqualified in a title match against Yokozuna at WrestleMania X. So it goes without saying that we’d love to see Luger’s match against Mr. Perfect, with Bobby Hennan on Luger’s side of course, as a match we’d love to relive.
9. Sycho Sid / Sid JusticeMatch to Relive: WrestleMania VIII - Hulk Hogan vs. Sid Justice
One of Hogan’s better rivalries towards the latter part of his WWF tenure, Sid Justice paved way to several highly entertaining main-event matches. The showdown between Hogan and Justice had a lot of excitement, especially when Hogan entered the ring. Sure it was Sid’s last match in the WWF at that time, but helped build him into a star that he would become in the mid ‘90’s. There’s also the match from WrestleMania 13 with his alter ego, Sycho Sid, against The Undertaker that would be perfect to relive or rewrite in the game.
10. TatankaMatch to Relive: WrestleMania VIII - Tatanka vs. Rick “The Model” Martel
Our last entry that we’d have a blast playing with in WWE: Legends of WrestleMania is Tatanka – a wrestler that has always been a fan favorite. If Koko B. Ware can show his silly mug in the game, then Tatanka would make an excellent choice for download content in the future due to his lavish persona.
There are dozens of wrestlers that deserve to be in the game including Vader, The Dynamite Kid, Rick “The Model” Martel, Marty Jannety, Don Muraco, and even Doink the Clown, but THQ is holding back any word of roster downloads as of right now. The only thing we can do is throw our pennies into the fountain and wish for more of our favorite wrestlers to be included as future downloadable content or unlockable wrestlers. Well there you have it, our fantasy additions to the already large-sized roster for WWE: Legends for WrestleMania. Check back later this week for our full review on the title when it releases on March 24th, 2009.
