Rodz was one of the very first people signed for the game from the HOF induction ceremony in 2002 but has yet to have his card done. When I had lunch with Tim Dalton here in Las Vegas last June, Tim told me the Legends team created a draft for Rodz' card but Rodz got bumped from a set at the last minute and replaced with someone else (but I'm not sure/can't remember what set it was Tim told me about). |

Bob Roop and Johnny Rodz are both excellent additions. I'm surprised to hear about the signing of Rodz...he was one of the first inductees into the original incarnation of the WWF HOF and is seemingly a strong candidate to have later signed a WWE Legends Contract. I don't know for sure, but from what I've heard alot of those WWE Legends Contracts for guys getting inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame vary in length and at least some of them aren't permanent. For example, Don Muraco got inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame at Wrestlemania 20 in 2004. But a year and a half later at Wrestle Reunion 2 in 2005 Tom was able to get Muraco signed for LOW. And I'm also looking forward to getting the LOW card for Johnny Rodz released someday. |

Even if it's a set which has mainly mid card guys I'll still be happy, realistically it will only get harder and harder to keep topping the standards set previously. Anyway mid-low card guys are more fun in some ways.

Did Tom try for Paul Orndorff, Nikita Koloff, Tully Blanchard or Magnum T.A.? Neither of them are under a WWE Legends contract.

I'd like to see another International set, heavy on Japanese talent!

Either Vintage or International would be great. I really liked vintage though but it would make for a more shoot style fed for me. Guys like Gotch and Hack just seem like guys who just want to lock up wrestle each other into submission but Londos has something showbiz about him.

I would like to see another tag team / faction type of set, I can't recall if Tom has J.J.Dillon signed and any of the other Four Horsemen, but they would be a great addition to this set.

I'm just hoping for wrestlers with more varied defense. I got really sick of seeing guys from the past 2 sets with counter-1 appearing twice on their L2 defense. Their matches were incredibly boring, and I either changed their defense or stopping pushing the wrestler. I mean, the last set had, what 8 of the 12 wrestlers with that? I prefer a counter,-1, counter-2, and a down-3!
Oh yeah, I also would like to see more shooters, or at least some amateur wrestlers like Rulon Gardner or (especially) Aleksandr Karelin.
