I'm shocked that one these 4 men weren't in the #1 spot: Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Stone Cold Steve Austin, or The Rock.

Seems to me like a solid list, but I don't know much about oldschool nor non-HC Japanese wrestlers. Like pointed out in the comments, I feel it's weird that they included Goldberg but didn't mention Kane.
My WTB thread (Sega CD/Saturn games)
Also looking to buy: Ys III (TG-16 CD), Shadowrun (Genesis) Hori N64 mini pad and Slayer (3DO) in long box/just the long box

Really? Goldberg may not have stuck around for as long as Kane has, but his WCW run was freaking HUGE. He was one of the, if not THE biggest star in wrestling from like late 1997-2000.

I fell like the controls are pretty similar to Smackdown Vs. Raw (2008/2009). I haven't played anything after 2009. One thing I am getting frustrated with is that I suck at reversing. :lol:
I like reversing in this game because its based on timing and not button mashing. You really have to time it to when the move is coming. I felt it was pretty natural and the controls are tight.

Attitude Era is a pure replay of old storylines. Not posting spoilers or anything but the first story (only one unlocked to start) is identical to August 1997.

I did pay the $19.99 for Fan Axxess - exclusive DLC and other stuff but refuses to pay the $1.99 to unlock the entire game. I'm really enjoying unlocking things as I go.

I think you just convinced me to go buy the game!

Weird seeing Austin three spots higher than the Rock. I don't care what anyone says, Rock is a bigger success story than Austin and has accomplished much more. THEY FUCKING NAMED A SHOW AFTER THE ROCK!!! Also, Austin owes a lot of his popularity to McMahon and their legendary feud. Rock just got over because he was awesome. Rock > Austin. Fact.

I'm down with HBK in the # 1 spot though

I thin the Rock's biggest accomplishment is getting out while on top and getting to have the best of both worlds. That is a hell of a rare accomplishment.
