This has massive amounts of potential and i'll admit i bought the crappy legends of wrestling games just because i could play as my favorite wrestlers of old even though the games sucked monkey balls. I'm going to be paying close attention to the development of this game, and it will probably be the game that causes me to break down and finally get a 360

I will finally get to set things right and have Dibiase go over Savage at Wrestlemania IV!!!! This could be great if done properly, and hopefully it will be limited to only 1 version of Hulk Hogan

It would be great if they even included some 80's jobbers like Barry Horowitz or Iron Mike Sharpe into the game.

I'm hoping they can use old audio clips or something to have Heenan and Gorilla as announcers or one of the other old announce crews.

This NEEDS to have old school music,entrances and arenas
