imageRonda Rousey Latest Cultural Icon to Be Immortalized in GameWoW World of Warcraft News - MMORPG.com

Blizzard is at it again with pop stars that are immortalized in WoW. We already have a pair from the Final Fantasy series, Harris Pilton (Paris Hilton) and now UFC fighter Ronda Rousey will join in the fun when Legion launches and is, in fact, already in the alpha test. Check out the video below where Rousey is portrayed next to the equally famous Mila Kunis, who was a follower introduced in Warlords of Draenor and has picked up stakes to move to Legion as well.

    So she is either going to be a Monk or a hunter that only knows how to feign death?

    I'm guessing this was decided before she got her teeth kicked in.

    UFC is so shockingly similar to the Roman Empire's use of "bread and circuses" to keep the masses pacified (which included gladiatorial combat), it's just plain obvious. /facepalm

    Yeah too funny she also was already scheduled to go on the cover of a game as well.She lost a lot of that star power by losing,especially since she acted so arrogant,people wanted her to lose.Not really a good model there,should have had her in a white gi but i guess Blizzard is trying hard to not be sued for copyright.

    It would have been really insightful and too funny if Blizzard had her eating or carrying an apple because i guess she can't eat an apple for like 60 days from the damage she took.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    You can say the same thing about TV, movies and video games.  I see free mason symbolism all over every game I play including mmos.

    You can convince yourself that you're seeing symbolism for anything if you try hard enough.

    Dont have to try very hard to notice an eye inside a pyramid on pretty much everything.

    So, let me comprehend this.

    I do not know about the fighter chick since i am not familiar with the sport. But... Mila Kunis is considered what ? A top actress ? An important one ?

    What on Earth is Blizzard doing ?

    Question, Why Ronda Rousey and not Mike Tyson? he is more legendary and was not KOed by a roundhouse kick to the face...

    Pretty sure Ronda rousey said she played wow or something.  I think most of the celebrities that get in game characters have claimed to play the game at one point.

    So, Mila Kunis has an NPC with a very similar name, but Rhonda Rousey only got her first name? How would anyone associate Rhonda to Rhonda Rousey?


    I'm thinking as a way to cover their backside. putting her in the game without putting "her" in the game

    That was awesome.

    She entered the fight with a attitude of "peace of cake, no problem!" and Klablammo!

    Rousey had one plan - win by submission on the ground,  when it didn't work - she had no plan b.

    She got knocked the F out. 
    So ignorant. Rousey lost because she DIDNT try to go for submission. MMA noobs trying to give pro advice......I wish I had more faces to palm.

    As for WoW, adding Rousey now is comical since she's currently on the biggest downturn of her career and she may never recover. Even EA was smart enough to add an extra fighter to the cover of their game after Rousey lost.

    Apparently that is not Rhonda Rousey, it is Rhonda Cox; a kung fu fighter and she designed the character herself.

    Boobs are LIFE, Boobs are LOVE, Boobs are JUSTICE, Boobs are mankind's HOPES and DREAMS. People who complain about boobs have lost their humanity.

    btw cultural icon? I though it was only her PR trying to make her even more money with her image, that is hardly a cultural icon, unless of course now any model is a cultural icon
    FOR HONOR, FOR FREEDOM.... and for some money.
