Topic: mr america in wrestlemania XIX?

[drkknght0000]

i know the roster for gamecube's wrestlemania XIX is already out, but with a new character being introduced just last week, and quite a few more months until the game's release, is there any hope the new character, mr america, will be added to the game?

[RickPowers]

Unlikely.  I beleive the roster was set in stone at WrestleMania XIX.  However, a simple texture swap might be possible.  Who knows?

[Ian Sane]

Mr America would really only be another costume for Hulk Hogan so unless they've limited every character to only one costume it doesn't seem too difficult for them to add him.  I remember WWF No Mercy had The Goodfather added at the last minute because he was just a simple costume change for the Godfather.  With Mr. America they don't have to bother with any new moves or anything.  It's not really a new character.

Plus I'd want to be added so I can use his mask in the CAW.  Most North American wrestling games don't offer many masks in the CAW so it would be nice to get another one besides Rey's and Kane's.

if it's not too late, they should add kevin nash and team angle to the roster. I'd much rather play as one of those guys, than say, al snow.

[drkknght0000]

yeah, the costume is an easy enough switch, and the moves will be identical...

but really, i was lookin for the "real american" entrance theme (sooooooo classic!)

Does anyone have a copy of the WMX9 roster?

In the past THQ has always included an up-to-date roster, I am sure that will not leave out anyone note worthy...

Hogan is an icon of the industry. I am sure now that he has been given a new gimmick to work with - THQ and the WWE will want to milk the idea for all it's worth. The only way I can see them not using the "Mr. America" character is if the storyline fails over the next few weeks.

Team Angle (Haas and Benjamin) are the current WWE Tag Team Champs - I sincerely doubt that THQ would be foolish enough to not include them in the game.

With all of the rumors surrounding Goldberg, I wouldn't be surprised if THQ had already designed the character for the game months before he was signed...I have faith that WMX9 will be just as good as Smackdown SYM.

al snow is the best!

Will you be able to change attire in WrestleMania XIX?
I mean it was a nice feature in No Mercy and the other AKI games, but I don't think any of the new games allows you to change someone's attire, atleast Shut Your Mouth and x8.

I agree that Team Angle better be in Wrestlemania XIX, also I think Jazz should be on the roster as well. She is the Women's Champion.....not that that means much. I'm so sick of the Jazz vs Trish/Trish vs Victoria/Victoria vs Jazz deal. If they are going to do a womens division....at least attempt to give us some variety. Not the same match week in week out, year in year out.

How could I forget about Jazz?

I remember when I first saw her in ECW a few years ago, I said to myself that she was something special. If anyone remembers - Jazz only fought Men in ECW and usually won.

Months after ECW closed, she debuted in the WWE - leaner, meaner and bigger (more muscle mass). She was impressive, but not as impressive as she is now. I think the year+ off due to injury has made her very hungry, aggressive and IMHO the greatest female wrestler of all time. If she can manage to avoid further injury, she has a long career to look forward to. Jazz has brought a new element to the women's division and the quality of the women's matches has definitely improved since she returned 2 months ago. Any match involving Jazz moves just as fast and is just as entertaining to watch as any decent match in the Men's division of the WWE.

I hope Jazz is included in WMX9, too.

I like Jazz too Rhoq, she's the Goldberg/Brock type character that the womens division needs....to bad the way they are booking her makes her look weak now. The whole Teddy Long race angle annoys the hell out of me...but thats another topic. I wonder if Jeff Hardy's been removed for the roster....since he got fired over his drug problem they could take him out and put someone else in. Given the date of its release.....they should still be able to maek changes to the roster. I wouldn't be surprised to see La Resistance or Sean O'Haire in the game at this point.
