Alongside a roster of original characters, WrestleQuest will also star real-world grapplers such as The Road Warriors, Sgt. Slaughter,\u00a0 Jake \u201cThe Snake\u201d Roberts, Andre the Giant, and Macho Man Randy Savage.<\/p>\n<p>It is reported that MegaCat intends to use Skybound\u2019s investment to help with the financial side of project development, while also noting that the partnership will give the small studio access to IP and publishing resources.
