I mean first of all I doubt she would find out. There's been wrestling games on mobile that have Owen parodies, & no one got sued. He was also in a legends of wrestling video game. Can you point one out for me? I’m not familiar with him being parodied previously. MDickie has a parody of him named Oje Goodman in all his wrestling games on mobile. |

Owen is probably better off left out IMO. For the most part, the devs have stayed away from controversial gimmicks or people (just ignore Almighty Dolla) when parodying wrestlers. Owen was a tremendous talent and a true family man by all accounts, but his death was a huge black mark on the industry. Also, his widow has been ridiculously protective of his image and name, and it seems like she would be the one individual who would find out about this, have a problem with it, and sue the devs. All in all, while I’d love the inclusion, IMO it’s a bad idea from a business standpoint as it’s not likely his inclusion would generate more players or much more revenue, but the potential for disaster is there. There are a bunch of characters in the game based off real life controversial people (kinda hard to do pro wrestler parodies without some controversial characters involved). I don’t think it’d be controversial at all to include an Owen character in the game, I think it’d be awesome. I like the Rocket King moniker someone else suggested. |

The amount of possible tag teams alone would make an Owen type character a marvelous addition to the game. He could team with Spazz, Mercenary, Sumo Sam, Chameleon Kid, and Doberman Denny. Heck, if a Double J type character were to ever be introduced, he could team with him, too! The feuds, oh the feuds, that we could have! Ace and Merc would be top notch ones to add to the game.

I’m only vaguely familiar with MDickie stuff, mainly from seeing the DenkOps channel on YouTube. I wasn’t aware that his wrestlers were parodies. |

Looks like we might get him. Their response on Twitter seems like a good indicator.

The likeness can't be cause of a law suit if it's done in parody. Full legal mumbo jumbo: copyrightalliance.org/ca_faq_post/parody-considered-fair-use-satire-isnt/Owen's death was tragic, but never was he a controversial figure. Now if they were doing a Chris Benoit I could see a huge uproar, but everyone has strong emotions or sensitive feelings when discussing him and it's best left alone. |

If he's added you might need him to have between 2-4 alts depending on how many tag teams and Feuds you want:
1) Rocket - Good - Flyer
Tag team: New Execution (Spazz), Max Power ( Chameleon Kid)
2) Rocket King - Bad - Rassler
Tag Team: Maple Union (Denny Doberman)
Feud: My Brothers Keeper (Mercenary), For The Crown (Chicano), Breakneck Speed (Ace of Spades)
3) Dark Rocket - Tweener - Rassler
Feud: No Nuggets (HFK)
4)Blue Rocket - Good - Flyer

Unrelated to the game, but what was your favorite Owen attire & theme? My favorite attire of his was his Hart foundation singlet with the slammy design. His Nation theme will forever be my favorite.
