9. Tazz
Tazz worked for WWE from 2000-2009. The former ECW star was never a huge name, but he did carve out quite the niche for himself as a colour commentator on Smackdown. Admittedly, his commentary career was much longer than his wrestling one with the company, but he would have made a fine addition to the WWE 2K16 roster. It's safe to say that Mikey Whipwreck is only involved due to his association with Steve Austin. Tazz never really faced Austin in ECW, but he's a much bigger name than Whipwreck. Making matters worse, Tazz left TNA in April, 2015, meaning 2K would have had time to slot him into the game. It's surprising that WWE didn't sign him up for inclusion. It would have been cool to play as the 'Human Suplex Machine' in WWE 2K16. He'd be a nice addition to the rumoured ECW DLC that's doing the rounds, and an older generation of fans would get a kick out of using him. Tazz never really made it as a wrestler in WWE, so the chance is there for gamers to rectify that. 2K claim their games are all about fantasy, after all.
