Legends of Wrestlemania - 36 Wrestlers Confirmed

The WWE will be releasing its next video game, "Legends of Wrestlemania" in March of 2009, to coincide with Wrestlemania 25. The game will feature classic WWF/WWE wrestlers competing in matches. Just today, a list of 36 confirmed characters for the Legends of Wrestlemania video game was reported by the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Legends of Wrestlemania Confirmed Characters:

Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, The Rock, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Undertaker, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Bret "The Hitman" Hart, Jerry "The King" Lawler, Ultimate Warrior, "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, Mr. Perfect, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, Yokozuna, Haku, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, "Ravishing" Rick Rude, "British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, Jim Ross, Sgt. Slaughter, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, "Mean" Gene Okerlund, Honky Tonk Man, Earthquake, Iron Sheik, Legion of Doom, "Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart, Gorilla Monsoon, Mr. Fuji, Tito Santana, Joey Marella (as referee), Virgil and Howard Finkel.

According to the report, two huge omissions from the roster in the upcoming game: Macho Man Randy Savage and Mick Foley. Savage competed in a totle of 8 Wrestlemanias, winning the WWF title at 2 of them. Mick Foley's recent contract expiration happened just around the deadline for characters to be featured in the game. Speculation says that back in September Vince McMahon decided to pull Mick Foley from game due to their personal differences, and that he also banned Savage from the game for unknown reasons.

As seen above, Brutus the Barber Beefcake and Hulk Hogan have both made the cut, despite the recent situation involving WWE and Hogan's Celebrity Wrestling show.
