User:Xanarki/sandbox/List of playable characters in the WWE games
The following is a list of playable characters (typically wrestlers) in the WWF/E video games.
Background
[edit]World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) was formerly known as World Wrestling Federation (WWF) until early 2002. Starting from that point on, all of the company's games had begun to bore the WWE name; thus, "WWF/E" refers to both the company's former and current name.
In the WWF/E games, the player chooses a selectable wrestler to play as. The vast majority of the characters are based on the real-life wrestlers whom appeared on WWF/E programming. Many of the wrestlers used a ring name as opposed to their real name, and some even used multiple ring names during their tenure with WWF/E. Most of the WWF/E games are, as expected, wrestling games, which in itself is a subgenre of the fighting genre. With a few exceptions of retro-based spin-off titles, most of the WWF/E games were released with then-current rosters, sometimes with a few older wrestlers included. As a result, unlike most other fighting franchises, WWF/E games don't normally have a consistent roster from game-to-game due to employees leaving the company in real-life.[1]
The first licensed WWF game was MicroLeague Wrestling in 1987. The game utilized on-screen text and digitized photographs to simulate the matches. From 1989 to 1997, every game was released with 2D graphics, and the view of the matches were typically shown from a side or top perspective.[2] The first WWF game to utilize 3D graphics was WWF War Zone in 1998.[3] Except for handheld titles, WWF games then relied exclusively on 3D graphics. The company changed their name from WWF to WWE in 2002, and the first game to not feature the WWF logo or name in any capacity was WWE Road to WrestleMania X8 in late 2002. Throughout the 1980s, 1990s, and the first half of the 2000s, WWF/E games were developed by different entities as it depended on the platform, with completely different games on each platform. Starting in 2006 with WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2007, the multi-franchises approach was dropped, and thus the mainline games became restricted to one yearly franchise. The SmackDown! vs. Raw series was followed by WWE '12 in 2011 and WWE '13 in 2012, which was eventually replaced by the WWE 2K series, starting with WWE 2K14 in 2013.[4][5]
Criteria
[edit]To maintain a sense of structure, the tables below contains a criteria list. The video games are divided by eras to avoid formatting issues.
- An individual's ring name is listed instead of their real name, due to popularity and familiarity.
- Non-playable characters (NPCs) are not listed. This includes managers, commentators, ringside announcers, and backstage personalities.
- If a wrestler appeared in multiple video games under different ring names, then the ring name that appears the most overall is the one listed. A note is added next to a checkmark if they appeared in a video game under a different name. For example, Matt Bloom appeared in 9 games as "Albert", in 3 games as "A-Train", in 2 games as "Tensai", and in 1 game as "Prince Albert"; thus, "Albert" is the name that is listed throughout.
- If a wrestler appeared in one game as multiple different characters, then they are only counted once. Often times, a game will include retro versions or alternate personalities of a wrestler.
- Fictional characters are not listed, since they are not typically based on a real-life person. For example, Turok appears in WWF War Zone and Josie Jane appears in WWE 2K20, but since both are fictional, they are not listed. Guest characters, such as Fred Durst in WWF Raw and Gronkster (Rob Gronkowski) in WWE 2K Battlegrounds are listed since they are real individuals.
- Created wrestlers (CAWs) are not listed since they were not officially included in the roster, even if a move set or facial feature was included. The only exception is WWF No Mercy, since real-life portraits were left in the game and the selection screen can be customized so that the small handful of wrestlers can be "blended in".
- Individuals that were left in the game and can be played via a cheat device or hacking is included; however, if the data is incomplete and if it causes the game to become unplayable, then the individual is not listed. For example, Brock Lesnar's model and picture remains in the beta of WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw, but he is removed in the retail game and the game will crash if a player tried to use him; thus, he is not listed. In contrast, Ken Shamrock remains on the disc for WWF SmackDown! 2: Know Your Role, and he can be played without the game crashing; thus, he is listed.
- Only WWF/E licensed games are listed. Spin-offs (such as The King of Fighters All Star which features six WWE wrestlers) are not listed. In addition, Android/iOS exclusive WWE games are not listed due to their semi-official status and ambiguous rosters. WCW and ECW (two companies both owned by WWE) games are also not listed.
