2. Steve Blackman
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHvAwPtpIRo Mel Gibson had better step back and feast his eyes upon the real Lethal Weapon. Well known for his experiences in the Attitude Era, an interesting fact about Blackman is that he was contacted to join the WWE in 1989, before he contracted severe dysentery whilst in South Africa. Perhaps that was a blessing in disguise, as in the early 90s he may have ended up with a name like Magnetotron, and we'd never remember him. Instead, he was the martial arts expert, a man who could hit you in places that you didn't even know were places. During the Attitude Era, he would often walk to the ring with a bag full of martial arts weapons, among which were his kendo and eskrima sticks. Blackman's character was very physical and serious, which led to some full-on combat with Ken Shamrock which one would be able to recreate in WWE 13. However, alongside Al Snow he became part of numerous comedy moments, where despite Snow's zany personality, it would be the sheer uncomfortable nature of Blackman that made those skits truly funny. Blackman only held one title during his stint in the WWE, the Hardcore Championship, and he held it six times. Throughout every reign of his the 24/7 rule was in effect, but due to Blackman's well-tuned skills, he was able to swiftly negate any interference from opportunistic superstars. Furthermore, his match with Shane McMahon at Summerslam 2000 provided one spectacular moment that I would very much enjoy being able to recreate on WWE 13. Many fans still yearn for a few more shots with the Singapore cane, and even imagining a tag team of him and Daniel Bryan already has me praying for the Lethal Weapon to make an appearance in the game. Last appearance in WWE video game series: WWF Smackdown! Just Bring It
