Adding Legends in wwe games is one of the best features they ever added to these games. Not only is it nostalgic for older long time fans, it can also be a cool introduction to those who didn’t grow up with them.
The thing about SVR 2010 was that those legends seemed like they were only included because they were already apart of the story and had made models for them. So just include them.
Something I didn't even notice until now is the probable reason why guys like Bret Hart, Sgt. Slaughter, Mr. Perfect and Rick Rude were in the SVR games to begin. While many legends were signed to legends contracts which allowed them to be in the games, I think some were in due to the DVDs which were sold at the time. You can see these DVDs in the instruction manuals of the games at the back. WWE DVDs featured "Life And Times Of Mr. Perfect", "Bret Hart: The Best There Is, The Best There Was And The Best There Ever Will Be", "The Ladder Match Volume 1" and "The Spectacular Legacy Of The AWA". Most the legends in the games were featured in these DVDs and maybe as part of the deal, their contracts also allowed them to be part of the games' rosters. Of course, I'm still speculating but it's not out of the realm of possibility.
Yeah although Bret’s dvd came out in 2005 a year after the first Smackdown vs Raw which he was already in. Speaking of his dvd, apparently according to Wikipedia so take this with a grain of salt, one of the reasons he did it was because he met a young fan who knew of him because of the video games but didn’t know anything about Bret himself outside of the games.
@@wwfwrestlemania2000 ok but since they added rock they should have added Austin and lita but it would have been nice if they have added Goldberg,Lesnar,Steiner,and also guys like Funaki,Hurricane,Billy Kidman,Billy Gunn,Jamie Noble,Carlito,Paul London,Stevie Richard’s,Nunzio
@@WowSuchGaming2009 i agree all those names would have been welcomed. I'm just saying that the developers didn't have a choice in the matter is all as far as Stone Cold goes. He was refusing to do business with WWE at the time due to that issue. I wish Lesnar and Goldberg could have been in as well.
Cause Legends came after. It took too much time to develop the models, that the game wouldn't have been made in the first place if you were able to port the legends to SVR 09 outside of THQ trying to be greedy.
7:51 He got a legends treatment because he retired the year the game came out. Mania 26 took place in March of that year, and the game didn't get released until October. Ric Flair got a similar treatment in SVR 09, where you had to unlock him through a cheat code or through Triple H's RTWM. If Legends were in that game's roster, Flair would have been a legend.
He’s still a legend. If Michael Jordan murdered 10 people tomorrow he’d still be the best basketball player of all time. A horrible person but the best player.
Austin's Stunner in SVR 06 😂
It looked so wonky during the cutscenes
looks like the stunner he used on Linda
McMahon lol
Worst cutscene mocaps in WWE games history easily 😂
Mocap was such dog shit 😂
We don't talk about austins stunner in svr06
2:30 man who ever said "CUT, perfect motion capture!" Is going to hell lmao

That's how I found out about a lot of them before UA-cam was a thing

Yeah, they were all just in their Cutscene outfits right?
Yeah they were just in civilian attires except for Cowboy Bob Ortan@@wwfwrestlemania2000

I hadn't considered that, and honestly it would make a ton of sense!
An astute observation.

09 had Tazz tho, surely he counts as a legend
Ric Flair as well.
@@Laynel8 was he in 09?
@@TheMuldoonFellayea
@@Laynel8 I'd have to put an asterisk next to Flair. He was active until Mania 24 obviously, so I'd argue he's half active / half legend in the game.
In my opinion, SVR '06 & '07 get an A+ those where the good old days, without DLC!
The first smackdown vs raw game should have added stone cold
I'm sure he would have been, but I think that's when Stone Cold left the WWE because they were gonna have him lose to Johnathan Coachman.

@@wwfwrestlemania2000 fr
@@wwfwrestlemania2000 shit Austin should have made the cut regardless
I think C is a bit harsh on SvR 08. I’d put it at a B- and I’d give 06 and A- personally.
Hell no, svr 08 legend’s roster was extremely underwhelming, and locking 1/4 of the legends to the PSP version was stupid and unnecessary.
I could give 06' an A- if a PSP wasn't required to get Jake The Snake!
I just copied my friend’s memory card after he unlocked him with a GameShark lol.
@@RyanhasSharpies That's fair! haha
The thing i don't understand about 2009 is that, why are you able to port the roster over to Legends of WrestleMania but not the other way around?
Cause Legends came after. It took too much time to develop the models, that the game wouldn't have been made in the first place if you were able to port the legends to SVR 09 outside of THQ trying to be greedy.
Sabu was basically the main reason me and my friends bought _SvR '08._
You didn’t like SVR 08 as a game? I loved it!
7:51 He got a legends treatment because he retired the year the game came out. Mania 26 took place in March of that year, and the game didn't get released until October.

W video idea
Thank you!
“Not you” is crazy 😂😂
I think 06 had the best. Roberts, Bulldog, JD, Hollywood Hogan for the first time
Would Taz and Flair in SVR 09 count? I sort of do cause Taz isn't active but he's only there because of road to wrestlemania
That is a great point! I didn't count them for this video, but a case could definitely be made for them!
@@NearFallGamingthere was also the Godfather as DLC and Kane's masked attire
I just bought a psp a few months back, and had no idea there was psp exclusives for ‘08
Enjoy them!
Please do this with the 2k games
I'm already calling it 2k16 is a A+
SD vs RAw 2011 is A+
I can honestly say I wouldn't buy WWE games if they didn't have legends
I’m gonna tell people who didn’t know Stone Cold Steve Austin was in SVR 2010 DLC
We miss ya definitely still need wwe 12 universe with chat gbt
i remember trying to unlock stone cold and mick foley by beating the challenges on legend difficulty and i broke my controller as a 7 year old lmao
Now that's a proper gaming memory lol
Shame you couldn't import the Legends of WrestleMania roster into SvR 2009
Agreed 100%!
If they had legends port to svr 09 we would have best roster svr game.. Svr 09 will has more legends.. It will be perfect game
Why didn’t you discuss SVR 09? You mean you didn’t enjoy unlocking WWE icons like Snitsky, Zack Ryder, Curt Hawkins and the Boogeyman?
Another banger !
how do you not have Austin in a SvR game? He is fun to play as.
Couldn't you also transfer the legends from lwgends of WM into 09?
Or did it only work one way
Having three versions of the same person is a bit much at times
A nice different video
Thank you for watching!
Am i the only that saw chris benoit in the titatron of the undertaker at 0:30
I really enjoyed SvR 08 I don’t get all the hate lol and I first played it on a Wii 😂
🔥🔥🔥
Any game without Austin, Hogan, Rock or Bret is just not complete.
Svr 09 and svr 10 had a weakeast roster ever in svr series
There's no hate.....I have play all WWE games 😊😊😊.
Stone cold look funny on svr 10 lmao
#sponsorMorganBoost
0:29 LOL
How dare you disrespect the psp
Stop bashing smack VS road 2 as a ninth was good on the P.Yes.P not on the damn p s three
So dumb 09 didn’t include legends
Hulk hogan is racist but I’m sure you don’t care
He’s still a legend. If Michael Jordan murdered 10 people tomorrow he’d still be the best basketball player of all time. A horrible person but the best player.
