WWE 2K20: 10 Legends Who Need To Be Added

8. Sherri Martel

When adding a new legend to the WWE 2K series, sometimes it can prove trickier than it seems when it comes to making a favourite of years gone by be a fun character to play with in the current environment. Case in point, Bruno Sammartino is one of the greatest of all-time, yet, if we’re being honest, who plays as the Italian Superman when they load up WWE 2K19? Few can touch Sammartino in the legend stakes, but his classic moveset just doesn’t translate for a fun gaming experience.

If looking at the female legends absent from the game, Mae Young would be a realistic name to add to 2K20, although she is somebody who again would be dull to play as. So, in need of a classic female star whose career was not so far removed from the wrestling we see today? Instead of Mae Young, Sherri Martel seems to be a far better option.

Whether as “Sensational” Sherri, “Scary” Sherri, “Queen” Sherri, "Sister" Sherri or just plain ol’ Sherri Martel, this Hall of Famer was somebody who was great for her time; that time being the late ‘70s into the ‘80s. Many may only remember Sherri for her attention-grabbing presentation and her time as purely a manager for stars like Ted DiBiase, Randy Savage, Shawn Michaels, and Harlem Heat, but Sherri was a great wrestler in her own right and loved to utilise all kinds of underhand tricks.
