Beat me to the punch. Yeah - a bunch had previously been revealed. And there are the 8 slots left based on the roster page on the official
wweallstars.com site.
Glad to know Dusty isn't part of the game and I can pay extra...or not...for him

Cool, thanks for the link CiG. So I'll go ahead and adjust my predictions for the final roster and say:
Legends
Curt Hennig
Jimmy Snuka
Shawn Michaels
Steve Austin
Superstars
CM Punk
Miz
R-Truth
Undertaker
I'd really like to see Alberto Del Rio and/or Wade Barrett on the Superstars roster, but I'm thinking they're maybe a little too new
to have made it.

Sorry, but I still don't like the look of the game. If it gets good reviews, particularly in the "fun-factor" end of things I might give it a
shot. I'd be glad to be wrong, but the character models are plain ugly. It also looks to be heavy on set move sequences that don't offer a
lot of control for the player, and it looks like every match will be decided by KO with a cut scene of the pinfall following. Just things that annoy
me for a wrestling game. I would have preferred it if they would have continued to tweak the Legends of Wrestlemania game. There is room for two
brands of the "same game", I have found NCAA Football to be much more fun than Madden for years now, so it's definitely possible.

edit:
I think part of why I'm looking forward to this is because it's different than what wrestling games have been/become. I didn't buy
SDvR this year. I think I logged 5 hours on the prior years. I played the shit out of versions before that.....but I'm just kinda bored and
done.
This looks new and different...relatively. It may still suck. But it's relatively fresh. I'll prob try before I buy to determine if
it's a $50 outlay or not...but I am looking forward to it.

Oh trust me, I don't want to see R-Truth in the game, but he just seemed like a logical choice of someone they'd put in it. Barrett
or Del Rio would be much better choices, but I more see them later becoming available as DLC.

I can easily live with that list, especially the non-DLC guys. Austin, Perfect, and HBK is pretty much all killer, no filler. Even Snuka will be fun
to do the Big Splash with. I wonder if Jericho will be "Rock Star" Jericho or "short-haired, fuddy-duddy" Jericho? I'll take either/or.

Only one I got wrong was R-Truth, but that's a good thing.
Overall, I really like the roster, especially with the DLC wrestlers that have been revealed. Kinda surprised they still have Punk with long hair
though, since he got his head shaved what, nine months ago?

After seeing more screen caps of this, I'm stoked by the fact that it appears to have different iterations of the same character, i.e. Andre
with an afro and red tights is in it, as well as the latter-day Andre with short hair and the black singlet. It also looks to have Macho Man in his
full-body outfit he wore around the time of the awesome Jake Roberts feud circa '91, as well as his "classic" look from the 80's.

How does R-truth get in over Kofi?

So...the Honky Tonk Man just popped up on the roster in the past hour. I checked the roster to see if R-Truth was on it or Kofi, and then went to
double check and now he's there.

I just read that the demo for this will be available on XBL/PSN today... featuring Mysterio and Warrior.
Is everyone mad here?
Of course they are, and you are too... otherwise, you wouldn't have come here.

Just played the demo tonight. Warrior and Mysterio are pretty random choices to say the least. I could think of about a dozen better match ups they
could have gone with, but hey, whatever.
As for the game, I can't say I was super impressed during my first playthrough, mainly because the game moved slower than I thought it would
(given the arcade-like presentation, I thought it would be faster-paced). But on my second playthrough, I had a better handle of the controls and I
definitely found myself getting much more into it. I was even able to bust out Warrior's Gorilla Press finisher and pin Mysterio.
Solely going by the demo, the game definitely looks like it could be a lot of fun with all wrestlers/modes fully available. I think only being able to
play as Warrior and Mysterio, along with not having a full grasp of the controls, kind of soured me at first, but I had a much better feel for things
the second time through. I rarely buy games at full price (especially PS3 games), but this is something I could definitely see myself getting once it
hits the $30 range.

They added avatar items for this game yesterday on XBL. Nothing I would buy, but some pretty neat looking stuff like Bret Hart, Macho Man and
Hulkster costumes.

I kinda liked the demo. It's fairly difficult, and the controls take some getting used to, but I think the final product is going to be a lot of
fun. I'm picking it up on day one because I have the extra money (and I get a discount) so if anyone else picks it up and wants to play online,
I'm game.

For anyone who's interested in both getting the game when it comes out AND getting the WM PPV....Toys R Us is running a promo - spend $40 or
more on any WWE merchandise (including video games), get $10 off WM. You've got to go to guest services after you make the purchase adn get
the promo code / coupon.
I'm going to try the demo later today to see if it's worth a full price purchase....and if so I"ll do this since was planning on getting
WM regardless of the build/card

I may or may not have popped a copy of the full game into the demo unit before I opened the store this morning, and it may or may not have been about
1000% better than the demo might make you think. I may or may not have no qualms about picking this up on day one now, especially knowing that its
apparently going to get a lot of dlc support.

Based on that I may or may not be starting my WM watching party a couple hours early so people can play that game beforehand.
Thai - you still coming over and if so....doors will open 2 hours before WM starts

I bought it too, and so far I'm really enjoying it. The computer AI is just brutal, but that just makes it even more satisfying when I win.
I'm having fun with it, but I wouldn't fault anyone who wants to wait for a price drop
