WrestleMania XXI Preview: Roster Spotlight

The roster for the upcoming THQ grappler WrestleMania XXI includes a mix of WWE legends and up-and-coming talent. Stalwarts such as Ric Flair, Triple H, and the Big Show are joined by crowd favorites Booker T, Chris Benoit, and Eugene, who makes his first appearance in a WWE video game. Seven unlockable WWE legends can be found in the game as well, and each can be accessed by a combination of cash and by attaining certain prestige levels in your game profile.

Here we take a look at each WWE superstar found on the game's 47-man (and woman) roster. Overall rating and individual statistics for attributes, such as stamina, speed, and strength, among others, are included, so feel free to use them as cold, hard proof the next time you get into those inevitable "John Cena vs. Kane: who is stronger?" and "Who has more charisma: Garrison Cade or a potato chip shaped like Wynona Judd?" discussions.

Without further ado:
