I'm assuming only the backglass and side art will be different on the LE. You'll still have current wrestlers like Daniel Bryan on the playfield itself . . . not cool in my view.

The playfield should have greats like Ultimate Warrior, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Steve Austin and then one current great like John Cena . . . I'm worried the call outs will all be from current stars.

The art means the backglass and the sides . . . not the playfield (at least that is how Stern has always treated it when they say custom art . . . the playfield is always the same art package).

I think us 80's and 90's era fans may be SOL . . . we will be wrestling Daniel Bryan every game . . . not Ric Flair or Degeneration X.

Not on the playfield to my knowledge, I don't have much time on it so perhaps I'm wrong.

I agree with this statement. I'm not jumping in on any more NIB games site unseen (code issues and what not), but I think this is a good theme.

This would be great! I wonder if the code would be different and feature the old guys too.

I thought pretty much anyone who signed a "legends contract" was a legend and that is more and more the attitude era people as well. I know Edge and Bret Hart are on a legends contract now.

Add Ric Flair and I say you listed the four that must be added to make this a complete package.

Kudos to shovelhed for remembering Demolition. Phenomenal team, was a sad day when LOD took the light from them, though they were an LOD clone to a large extent.

But a minus for tossing in Sting. He never wrestled for WWE? Ever, per my memory.

Him being in the game is a pipe dream. You may not remember but there were a flurry of rumors that he was hitting on Stephanie McMahon when she was minor and hanging the business...obviously we don't know the truth of this, but his treatment since his departure would lead some credence to something weird going on . . .

Gosh, tempted. If the code was done on my games I already had I would get a refinery edition LE. Game looks great!

Bret Hart may be on the other side. Montreal Screw Job Wizard Mode would be awesome.

To those saying HHH did not put younger talent over...who do you think he improperly kept off the radar who deserved better? HHH turned back and forth face heel as well as anyone ever and he put over many many people. I remember when Austin would not put HHH over...

Not a WCW theme. The NWO was never a faction of much meaning in WWE...though it appeared a few times.

He is the main guy on the left side art. He has a more prominent location than Shawn Michaels surprisingly. I'm still hoping for a Montreal Screwjob Wizard Mode.

Good point. In my view he deserves it. A legitimate argument can be made that HBK was best ever.

The only real argument I have heard against it is he was not the top face (err, good guy) during one of wrestling's popularity peaks...the same is true of Flair/Undertaker/Hart/HHH of course. Only Hogan, Stone Cold and the Rock can claim that mantra.

There is no doubt that the Heart Foundation were the more beloved team to the Rockers. I will give you that point without question. That said, lets get real, are the Rockers really the tag team most would associate HBK with?

Me as well, but they are not really one of the top things HBK's career was based around (though tossing Marty through the window) was a big moment in HBK's career (so the end of the team was a big moment for HBK, more so than the team itself...in the grand scheme of things).

On what grounds do you believe the Rockers had a bigger push than the Heart Foundation? This is a subjective, certainly, but it doesn't seem to be close in my view. The Rockers never had the title at all. The Heart Foundation had it twice for long stretches and even beat the legendary demolition for it once.

Hmm, greatest tag teams ever, there are a few that have a case for it. I'd make the following recommendations:

The New Age Outlaws
Stiener Brothers
Road Warriors
Demolition
Hardy Boys
Edge/Christian
The Dudley Boys
The Fabulous Freebirds
Degeneration X (the tag team version with HHH/HBK)

Then, my favorite of the bunch . . . The Outsiders

All great teams, but all on par with groups like the Nasty Boys . . . not on the level of those I listed for an extended period of time.

The Brain Busters were great. Worthy of a mention for sure. I agree, I'm nerding out too. Perhaps we should start an Off Topic thread just to discuss wrestling and not the game?

Oh man, what a bummer. thats a weird thing not to be caught by QC...you would think they would have been wiping off all over the place while being installed...
