They won't be "making Darren Young great again" either.

Released on the same day as several others on this list in late-October last year, Young's latter run as Bob Backlund's protégé was mediocre at best and insufferable at worst. The lowest point came when Young was jobbing to ex-partner Titus O'Neil in energy-sapping matches on Raw.

It was a feud few cared about, and the apathy summed up Darren's WWE career post-Prime Time Players. He was just sort of there without adding anything to the show. The same could be said of his inclusion in WWE video games; Young is not the kind of omission kids worldwide will shed tears over.

He is someone from last year's game who won't be in the next however. Expect Darren Young to show up in Community Creations. Hell, he may well be re-hired by WWE before the game's release and fill a similar slot to someone like Curt Hawkins.

That wouldn't merit inclusion.
