Randy Savage Blacklisted From WWE Video Game, New ECW Star, Amy Hennig

-- "Macho Man" Randy Savage, who wrestled on nine out of the first ten WrestleManias and came away with the WWF Championship on two of them, will not be a character available to play on the upcoming "Legends of Wrestlemania" video game, which is scheduled for release next March. At Vince McMahon's discretion, a few big names were excluded from the game for one reason or another, most notably Randy Savage and Mick Foley. Sources say THQ officials were most unhappy about not being able to feature Savage and Foley in the game. At least in Foley's case, he was originally scheduled to appear in the game, but following his departure from WWE a few weeks ago, McMahon made the decision to pull his character.
-- Curt Hennig's daughter Amy Hennig was in attendance at last week's Raw in St. Louis. She is not under contract to WWE, but is apparently training to be a wrestler at Harley Race's wrestling school. Also, the security guards used during the Shawn Michaels/Chris Jericho segment last week are students from Race's school.
-- Jack Swagger, who debuted in a squash match on tonight's ECW, is WWE developmental wrestler Jake Hager. WWE recruited him two years ago because he was a two-sport athlete at the University of Oklahoma, playing as a defensive tackle in football as well as a heavyweight amateur wrestler. He is the current Florida Heavyweight Champion in FCW. In developmental, he remains undefeated as he's doing a winning streak gimmick. On August 2, 2008, Hager was on a 62-0 win streak. He started working dark matches a few weeks ago. Also, if his theme song sounds familiar, it's because it is. Jamie Noble used the song during his stint with Nidia. You can see the TitanTron featuring the theme music at this link.
