WWE 2K21: 10 Legends Who Must Be Included

8. Jushin 'Thunder' Liger

This one could be a tad more difficult.

Jushin Liger is Japanese wrestling royalty, but he'll also be a WWE Hall Of Famer by the time 2K21 comes out later in the year. It'd be quite the carrot for the hardcore fan community if 2K served up the 11-time IWGP Junior-Heavyweight Champion as an in-game character. It'd even be fine as DLC.

Imagine some sort of 'Japanese Heroes' pack including Liger, Masahiro Chono (which would also make sense when the nWo are being honoured before WrestleMania 36) and maybe someone like Tatsumi Fujinami. If they don't make the cut, then Liger is a must at least. Matching him up against Daniel Bryan, Finn Bálor and others would be a thrill, and it'd be cool to see an official model rather than relying on downloads from Community Creations.
