10 Wrestling Legends We Hope Are Playable In AEW Fight Forever
AEW need more than just their current stars for their first gaming venture!
The arrival of AEW's first video game grows more and more imminent each day, and it's safe to say that fans are ecstatic. Well, maybe just excited. Okay, perhaps a little apprehensive and concerned in some cases, but still looking forward to it in general.
While the prospect of a new wrestling game is cause for celebration, AEW Fight Forever has been somewhat quiet with releasing information. At this point, fans feel like they have an idea of the game but know surprisingly little about it simultaneously.
Of course, the title will not be perfect, as it's only the first of (hopefully) a line of future gaming experiences. Still, despite all the concerns, Fight Forever will bring something wrestling/gaming fans are always looking for, and that's a fresh roster of playable characters.
Currently, only a handful of wrestlers are confirmed for the game - including Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega, Jade Cargill and a few more - but, among those names is a wrestler so exciting it makes the whole thing feel worth it: Owen Hart.
Seeing the legendary Hart brother in a wrestling game is life-affirming for many, and his involvement also means the door is open for more legendary figures to enter the fray. That said, here are ten performers who should also get a turn on the controller.
10. Tully Blanchard
It's doubtful you'll ever see a group of kids arguing over who gets to play as Tully Blanchard in a video game. But, even so, he's still incredibly deserving of a spot on this title's roster, not just because of his legendary career but also thanks to the work he has put in with AEW.
Blanchard's time in All Elite Wrestling has been a little, let's say, mixed. His managing of Shawn Spears was a solid start that ran cold. Then, The Pinnacle seemed like his time to shine, but it also dried up after he was outed by the other members. It seems he can't catch a big break as a manager, so maybe stepping back into the ring would be a fun change.
Getting the chance to take some revenge as the old-school wrestler himself in this game would be incredibly cathartic and fun. You could pit him against a bunch of entertaining opponents, even battling against the roster members who have wronged him. He might not be the flashiest/most exciting legend, but he's put the work in and deserves the recognition.
