So with the roster reveal only a little over a week away, I've begun thinking about the legends roster. They're calling it the biggest legends roster ever in the main WWE series, and are touting several new appearances. Assuming none of this is bullshit, and if the rumors are true, the roster may be fairly good. I'm thinking possibilities include:
Steve Austin (One of the usual inclusions)
Bret Hart (One of the usual inclusions)
The Rock (One of the usual inclusions despite being a preorder bonus we might still get legend Rock)
Brock Lesnar (Has met with WWE recently, apparently discussing business and it really wouldn't be all that surprising)
Hulk Hogan (Signed on for All Stars, perhaps did the same for WWE 12)
Eddie Guerrero (Won a Legends poll during one of the THQ surveys)
Mick Foley (hinted at it on Twitter, WWE 12 creative manager said "no comment
")
Diesel (Signed a deal earlier this year)
Booker T (See Diesel except add that he's been on TV every week since the Rumble)
Trish Stratus (She was on WrestleMania and Tough Enough and it wouldn't be her first game in as a legend)
Shawn Michaels (...it's Shawn Michaels)
X-Pac (Seems to be back on good terms with WWE)
Lex Luger (Was in last year, albeit as DLC. Very popular)
British Bulldog (See Luger, add that he's been in as a legend before)
Jerry "The King" Lawler (Made a five or so month semi-regular return to the ring, was DLC for All Stars so they have a character skin they can use)
Jimmy Snuka (They love this guy for reasons I will never understand)
The Road Warriors (Haven't been in the main WWE game since 2004, are part of the highest selling All Stars DLC, and are hugely popular with the fans, not to mention recent HOF inductees)
Ultimate Warrior (He was in All Stars and THQ never said that was the only game he signed on for)
Michael Hayes (Badstreet, Atlanta, GA is listed as one of the home towns, could mean he's in. It could also just be there but that's way too specific an inclusion to not be tied to someone being on the roster)
I left "Macho Man" off the list because THQ stated early in the game that he only signed on for All Stars. Whether they're working the people or not, who's to say, but I don't think he'll be in. I had to rack my brain to come up with the 20 people I did, so if there's someone in the game as a legend not on this list, I'll be surprised, hopefully pleasantly surprised at that.
