WWE All-Stars is an absolute blast to play. Turning childhood heroes into action figure versions of themselves and allowing you to bend the rules of physics, jumping up twenty feet or throwing guys across the entire ring, was a brilliant move. While laying the smacketh downeth on fools with The Rock is all well and good, there are some notable entries missing in the game. So here are my Top 5 Wrestlers Who Should Have Been in WWE All-Stars.
5)Ric Flair
Though it is undoubtedly true that Ric Flair was the heart and soul of the WCW for many years, he still did several stints in the WWE. Much like the WWE was built on the back of Hulk Hogan, the WCW was built on the back of Ric Flair. Both of Flair’s stints in the WWE involved multiple titles and he was inducted into the WWE hall of fame in 2009. To not have him as a legend seems odd, as playing as a young Nature Boy in his prime would have been great.
4)The Legion of Doom
My friends who can barely remember who Stone Cold Steve Austin is can recall “those guys with the spikes”. One of the greatest tag teams ever their signature look, shoulder pads with spikes and face paint, would be perfect for WWE All-Stars. Their legacy is certainly up to par to be included, with many titles over their careers. In fact they were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year. This would have been the perfect opportunity to play as them in a game.
3)Goldust
Goldust would have been perfect for a video game as outlandish as WWE-All-Stars. The son of legendary wrestler Dusty Rhodes Goldust has a wonderful pedigree. Through his weird mannerisms he confused opponents and created one of the most memorable characters in WWE history. Who better to be in a game where characters don’t look real than Goldust?
2)Chris Jericho
Chris Jericho is one of the most recognizable faces in wrestling. Regardless of how you feel about him he has certainly made the most out of his career. He has fingers in all kinds of media, from music to television to even writing. One of the little guys, he has risen the ranks despite this to hold almost every title you can think of. His inclusion would have made perfect sense.
1)Mankind/Mick Foley
The Hardcore Legend himself, Mick Foley captivated millions of fans by putting his body through just about anything. If he was involved in a match you knew it was going to be intense and probably bloody. No one put himself through more to please the fans. He went through stuff in real life that looks like it should be in this game. Besides, I miss Mr. Socko. I really do.
