It is rumored that he is indeed one of the characters.

I noticed they also listed Bret Hart, but why not Owen Hart, he is just as much as a legend as his brother.

The legal problems with Owen's death will probably keep him out.

Thats crap really, , Also another good one , would have been Mick Foley, but if he hadn't gone to TNA he would be, Mankind was my favorite character, not to dis Cactus Jack. All would be good, shame on Mick for leaving

As someone else mentioned, Undertaker is rumored (and basically confirmed) to be in the game, based on some screenshots which showed people in the crowd wearing Undertaker shirts (and I think some had foam urns).

Nothing against Mick Foley, but, as great as he is, I don't think he's considered a "Legend of WrestleMania". The game only goes up to WM XV, and Mick Foley's only WM appearances at that point were a tag-match with Chainsaw Charlie (XIV), and a singles match to become the "special referee" for the main event later on in the show (XV).

Edit:

Here's a picture with a person in the audience wearing an Undertaker shirt (front row, black shirt, next to the guy with the afro... has a close up of Undertaker's face on it)

Shawn Michaels has been around longer than those guys (Undertaker comes the closest though).

HHH might've been as big as The Rock and Stone Cold, but the latter two had more unique personalities, to the point where non-wrestling fans probably know who they are.

The game only goes up to WM 15, and Shawn Michaels appeared in 8 of those 15 (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14), with the Iron Man match at WM 12 being one of the biggest matches in all of WM history.

Undertaker was in 9 of the first 15 WM's (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15).

HHH's first WM was WM 12, and as mentioned earlier, Mick Foley made his WM debut at WM 13.

I read somewhere that next month on wwe 24/7 in the "shorties" section, it's supposed to featured matches that are in the game, and one of those matches is Jake "The Snake" Roberts Vs. The Undertaker from WrestleMania 8. that would pretty much confirm that both are in the game.

I might be a little biased because I watched wrestling from about 93-97, but these are people I really hope to see in the game:

-Big Boss Man (not sure of his WM history, if any)
-Yokozuna (WM 9 and 10 main events)

And since they need more than one tag team, any of these could work: Natural Disasters, Demolition, Nasty Boys

And here's the commercial that aired during Royal Rumble, which confirmed Roddy Piper and Ultimate Warrior being in the game:

I don't like that video. You mean I can get any person to take down Andre the Giant? I like Stone Cold and everything but I don't think he can take Andre down like that.

The Undertaker was in WCW when the other WMs were done

[deathmachine]

I'm still waiting for the Kevin Nash & Scott Hall announcement.

Why isn't the 16 time world champ The Nature Boy Ric Flair on the cover, why isn't Sean Michaels The Show Stopper on the cover, why isn't Triple H The Cerebral Assassin on the cover??? Those are hands down the 3 greatest wresters of all time.

I think Triple H & Shawn Michaels have been on enough WWE game covers that they didn't need to be on this one, and Ric Flair isn't with WWE anymore.

More names are coming, so it's possible the people everyone mentioned here will be added...all except probably for Randy Savage, I just don't see that happening, as much as I'm sure we'd all like to see that.

Oddly enough, the one's I'm looking most forward to see hopefully in this game is the 3-man team of Demolition, or at least Ax & Smash, and Strike Force. They had a great Tag Team Title Match at WrestleMania 4. And if they put Strike Force in, Tito Santana should be interchangeable to El Matador, and Rick Martel should be interchangeable to The Model.

I'm not bothered by anyone being able to slam Andre the Giant as much as I am that they made Andre smaller (and Hogan bigger).

From a brief preview I read, it's not possible to slam Andre if you are a lower level (whatever that means). So you at least have you work your wrestler up enough to make them good/strong enough to slam him.

Well I saw Stone Cold take him down by grabbing his arm to put him in a arm bar.

You will be able to import WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2009 Superstars(Including HHH) to this game according to:

I just hope they add Past Divas like Trish Stratus, Sable, Lita...etc.

My friend, you never saw the Ultimate Warrior wrestle then. Andre the Giant and Hulk Hogan put wrestling on the map. The Rock is well known from his movies and wrestling that is why he made it. Stone Cold is....well Stone Cold.

Ric Flair was in the WCW for a LONG time. That is why you won't see him in this. Sean Michaels I can see, but he was not bigger then the ones on the cover. Triple H is the only one I will give you. But again, the ones on there now are more worthy then the 3 you mentioned.
