Would anyone object to this?

Mae Young hasn't been seen in a WWE game since No Mercy on N64 (it's kinda absurd that she never bagged a royalty cheque for any of the early SmackDown titles), but her legacy still lives on with the Mae Young Classic tournaments. 2K should go the full way and digitise an old favourite.

They could get some milage out of two Mae characters as well. One could be the leathery, tough old gal that fans came to know and love during the Attitude Era days, and the other could be a younger version designed to show how long Mae lasted in the biz.

2K don't include many iconic females from the pre-Attitude days, so this'd be a nice change of pace. Besides, Mae deserves to have her memory honoured via these games. Considering her last digital appearance was 21 years ago, it's about damn time.
