WWE artist Rob Schamberger took the canvas at the WWE 2K17 booth at the 2016 Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles yesterday, and set about scribbling out the faces of the first names confirmed for this year's addition of the popular video game.

Three different eras of World Wrestling Entertainment were represented, as Schamberger and 2K confirmed that The Ultimate Warrior, John Cena and Sasha Banks will be included in the game. With two more Expo days to go, more big names are expected to be announced. Well, illustrated.

Truth be told this isn't surprising in the least. Warrior is a true icon of the past, John Cena is the biggest professional wrestler on the planet and Sasha Banks is going to spearhead the now and the future of women's wrestling. What it is however is a big step forward for Banks, who was controversially omitted from last year's game along with her Four Horsewomen compadres.

Who will Schamberger draw today? Expect more big names, with my money going on Jim Powers, the Beverley Brothers and Luther Reigns.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
