10 Wrestlers Who Didn’t Deserve To Be On The Cover Of A Wrestling Game

9. Sunrise Adams - Backyard Wrestling 2: There Goes the Neighborhood

‘Backyard Wrestling: Don't Try This at Home’ was released in 2003 for the PS2/Xbox. It was a comically freakish game where you could wrestle in parking lots, slaughterhouses and strip clubs. It received mixed to negative reviews, due to its excessively long and tedious career mode, clumsy, glitchy gameplay and poor roster selection. So it came as a surprise when it released a sequel a year later.

Backyard Wrestling 2 featured various characters, from wrestlers to musicians to porn stars. And who from its roster was centred squarely on the cover you ask? Legendary wrestler in Mexico Vampiro? ECW icon The Sandman? Vic Grimes, who had a large following at the time from his bumps in Xtreme Pro Wrestling? No, the cover star of the game was adult actress Sunrise Adams.

She was placed between New Jack and Violent J of Insane Clown Posse. You could very well argue J wasn’t deserving to side-front a wrestling game either. Still, at least ICP had competed for numerous promotions like ECW, WWF, TNA and their own wrestling promotion, Juggalo Championship Wrestling.

Sex sells, sure. But can we all agree a pornographic actor probably doesn’t belong on the front of a wrestling game?
