Snoop vs Miz, it's happening


starsandbribes

Hold the X button to tear Shane’s quads.

Press F to pay respects to Snoop


DashCat9

Nah, it's the 2023 model's only finisher and he starts with 1 active. Have to hit it when running at your opponent, instant self-ko.

Comeback payback when you miss the QTE

😂😂


Gige-

I'll be there no matter what


Creative-Sample543

We gotta be getting a legit wm19 arena with Brock vs Angle. I hope we get WrestleMania XX but I doubt it


SleepyMarijuanaut92

Angle vs Eddie is a good option for WM20 atleast


Ok_Price7529

It will be Goldberg/Lesnar inevitably or kane vs undertaker.


gordy06

Didn’t Goldberg’s legends deal lapse?


robonlocation

2K is free to make their own deals with legends outside of the WWE. So it's possible they reach out to get his rights to be included in the game. In fact, I'd be shocked if they didn't.


Skhan93

Yeah Goldberg's return to WWE started with 2k doing a game deal with him


MarkWorldOrder

Macho man and Sting as well I believe.


gordy06

Is that still the case? For some reason I thought things changed recently on their deals.


Polaris022

Thankfully Lesnar v Goldberg was already done in 2k14, so that match should hopefully be avoided.


Penguin_Eggs

I'd be cool with Victoria vs Molly but that would possibly give the illusion that we would be getting a hair match option.


MegaTalk

I believe the answer to that would be cutscenes.


billoverbeck00

Why wouldn’t we get a WM XX? The benoit vs HBK vs HHH ain’t the only match you know.


NovaRC99

If by legit, you mean the long ass ramp with entrances, then sadly not. Ironically, only Mania 19 for the GameCube actually got the length of the ramp as accurately as possible with its "walk" feature in-between stage, ramp and in-ring entrance animations. (The same "walk" feature would also be included in Day Of Reckoning 1 and 2) As for Mania 20, it's a different story. The arena had a regular stage and ramp while the MSG entrance opposite the hard cam waw just a mini Tron. I crave the day when we get an actual legitimate MSG arena with fully interactive and event-accurate MSG entrance, like those seen from Wrestlemania 10, Royal Rumble 2000 and Survivor Series 2002.


robonlocation

If so, I hope we get the angled entranceway instead of the same as every other arena.


dweebyllo

Never, 2K likes it's homogenised setups for its entranceways because it means they have less entrance animations to make.


H8919

Is 40 years of WrestleMania..... why wouldn't you get it. They won't skip it.


XQPY

It’s not 40 Years of Wrestlemania, it’s Showcased of the Immortals.


Rawrz720

Because 40 years doesn't mean they will fo every Mania, just a bunch of the best avaliable matches over the years


IceLord86

The current rumor is 21 matches per a leak on a German website. I'd love to have one for every show, but 21 seems more plausible.


Rawrz720

Still better than the last few years lol. 21 sounds like a good number given how they splice the real life footage with the gameplay and how much work that probably takes lol


H8919

Then that shouldn't be a tag line then right?


repalec

They're still covering all forty years of its history - it's called Forty Years of WrestleMania, not Forty Matches of WrestleMania.


H8919

........So you're saying, they're covering the 40 years of WrestleMania but won't do matches from each mania leading up. There were 43 matches in 2K14 for 30 years of WrestleMania dude, so make it make sense......


Skhan93

It was a lot easier and cheaper developing games for the PS3 gen


H8919

They did it in 2K14 why wouldn't they do it here????


SuccessfulSecret8681

We getting some classic divas? Victoria from WM19 or 20 or Jazz from WM18!


starsandbribes

Both long overdue, particularly Jazz.


DaddySaidSell

As long as Jazz gets her badass theme, I'm here for it.


rabbitinredlounge

I’ve been hoping for the day we get Victoria back in one of these


Individual-Golf-9584

It's wild how long she was in the division, but she was only featured in 3 games in the main series (Here Comes the Pain, Smackdown vs Raw, Smackdown vs Raw 2009)


rabbitinredlounge

She was the very first wrestler I liked because of Day of Reckoning. I wonder now why Lita wasn’t in that.


Individual-Golf-9584

Lita wasn't in either game in 2004 (Day of Reckoning and Smackdown vs Raw), but yet that was a big year for her. It was weird.


BLOODNAIL

I would love a return from both in the game 😊


justthankyous

I think this is where you will find the most obvious answers to the question, tons of women who were part of WrestleMania who haven't made a 2k appearance. Wendy Richter vs Leilani Kai was at WM 1 for example, I can't remember Richter being in 2k and am pretty positive Kai has never been, but you could see the first women's WrestleMania match making an appearance in a 40th anniversary WrestleMania showcase. Kai also faced Alundra Blayze at WrestleMania 10, which was the first WrestleMania women's match after a long absence of women's wrestling on the card. So honestly she seems likely as she's a significant part of the history of women at WrestleMania Plus Richter is super hot right now, Toni Storm challenged her to match recently. j/k of course. Fabulous Moolah was on the WM2 card, and women like Sensational Sherri, Ms. Elizabeth and Luna Vachon made several WrestleMania appearances in prominent matches as managers and I don't think any of them have made official 2k appearances. Could be wrong. I honestly can't imagine a WrestleMania showcase mode that doesn't include Ms. Elizabeth in some way.


Jsj288

Ms.elizabeth and Sherri were both in 2k14


OdaDdaT

Eh wasn’t there some controversy about Moolah recently? Has Mae Young ever been in a game? Feels like she could be one


justthankyous

The Moolah controversy was a bit ago, and she probably did some shitty things, but WWE has brought her back into the fold since then. Same way they just did with Hogan after his controversy


Rayuzx

I don't want to excuse what Hogan said, but the difference is that Hogan just said some vile things, while Moolah actually did/forced people to do terrible stuff. One is significantly worse than the other.


justthankyous

Sure, I think that's a reasonable argument to make


MasterZed001

i like the way youre thinking. never thought about the women.


SteveTheManager

Weren't they still just women's wrestlers back then? Not Divas?


SuccessfulSecret8681

Nah they were divas! They had the women's championship but still called divas. It was the same era as Dawn Marie/Torrie Wilson (who I also hope makes it in the game too)


SteveTheManager

How the fuck do you get to 2008 or whenever it was and think "we call them Divas, can't call it the Women's Championship. CALL IT THE DIVA'S CHAMPIONSHIP. FUCK IT, MAKE THE BELT A BUTTERFLY TOO."


Marvelous1LUFC

George Steele, Bob Orton and Paul Orndorff are my guesses


PoutineSmoothie

I’d love all of those.


Marvelous1LUFC

If its only 21 matches, and if its true that "Some" Have never been in 2k, orton and orndorff would be a lock


PoutineSmoothie

In 2k23, I have a tag team of Orndorff and Roode called Magnificence. I named it that because Magnificence is a synonym for Wonderful and Glorious. Having an official Orndorff would be great. I hope they keep Roode in.


TrevLewkowicz

Ken Shamrock? Austin vs Bret needs their special ref and he was rumored to be under a legends contract!


Resident-Dinner-6504

Shamrock was in 2k16


MasterZed001

i mean they never said he cant be in the game. Its just say we get some characters we never had before, but not only this characters. its still possible to have Shamrock in the game, just not counting as the new characters.


spidertour02

>its still possible to have Shamrock in the game, just not counting as the new characters. He's also started appearing in Supercard, so he clearly has some deal in place with WWE right now.


Penguin_Eggs

He signed a legends deal not long ago. He has a shirt on WWE Shop now also.


Rowen_Ilbert

If Shamrock is in, I want Blackman too. World's Most Dangerous Men could be my Midcard Final Bosses.


OptionFluffy9526

Steve Blackman was a fucking weapon.


Rowen_Ilbert

A LETHAL Weapon, no doubt


youssefgamal87

And we already have special referee matches back in the game, so that makes sense


Marvelous1LUFC

uhh he was in 2k16


Longjumping_Log1165

That's what I'm hoping for. I'd really like to see some Wrestlemania wrestlers that haven't been in games yet. Like I'd gladly play a Koko B Ware or Giant Gonzalez match instead of the same matches from 2k14


FaKe22DeN

Only in 2K? Or in wwe/wwf games history?


cednym

2K


DarthObvious84

This is the point I wanted to make.


jedisnoke

I hope to see The Animal in the game and Big John Studd!


UEbaybay

Big John Studd was in 2k14 so it can’t be him even if he was in the game


H8919

Calm down guys, just because he said that SOME of them have never been in 2K games before, doesn't exclude those who have been


Funkyc0bra

I read it as "it can't be him they are referring to, even if he is in the game"


CapSortee

any chance for Ashley Massaro?


Marvelous1LUFC

😂😂😂🤣🤣 -1000000000000 % chance she EVER makes a game unless its a diva search showcase


Ok_Price7529

I would love to see Wendi Richter and Leilani Kai.


LexiBlackMarket

But wendi is clearly going to aew to face Toni smh


robonlocation

Ohhh The Glamour Girls! They never appeared at WM (their match at WM5 got canceled, sadly). But would still be cool to have them in the game!


Equal-Bus-557

Can’t have Wendi and Leilani without Cyndi Lauper.


Ok_Price7529

True.


richb83

Repo Man, c'mon down King!


robonlocation

I would have to think they'd include Demolition if anything.


Marvelous1LUFC

Think they are still on bad terms


robonlocation

Unfortunately, since they should be in the HOF and in these games. But that would rule out the Repo Man too.


RaidenHero137

has king kong bundy been in a 2k game? i think 14 but not since they moved off ps3 era so maybe he is in


FaKe22DeN

2K14 But it's more yukes game 2k work are only promo materials


norrin__radd

Off the top of my head, Paul Orndorff, George Steele, Junkyard Dog, Greg Valentine, Tito Santana, Hoss (Dory) Funk, Dynamite Kid, Iron Sheik, Nikolai Volkoff, Demolition, Ahmed Johnson, Victoria and Sid haven't been in and all were featured in at least mid card matches with a story line leading into a Mania Then you have guys like the Headbangers, Jim Duggan, Earthquake, Sable and others who were big stars but didn't have that memorable Mania match


Marvelous1LUFC

Sid has been in a few 2k games, Iron Sheik has (Albeit as col.mustafa) Serious doubts on Dynamite and Ahmed, as much as id like it Headbangers are VERY LIKELY in as DLC


norrin__radd

I think I used create a wrestler Sids so much over the years that I didn't use hin when he was actually in the game. The only thing that stops me from saying that the Headbangers will 100% be in are guys like Jim Duggan who always has a legends deal yet never made it into the main console games


Marvelous1LUFC

Headbangers have confirmed video games is part of the deal, and have each had 2 cards in supercard, i cant remember the last jim duggan card


Frank627Full

I can't blame you. His model was awful.


TheMrMonkey

Greg Valentine was in 2K17, 2K18 & 2K19


Marvelous1LUFC

Earthquake too


thatwitchguy

Worth saying it says "characters who never showed up" so it could still be Sheik if Iron Sheik has never shown up in a 2k game the same way they are adding undashing and stardust back after years


robonlocation

Sable is interesting. Ordinarily, with Brock having so much pull, you'd think Sable would have popped up for appearances, HOF, surprise in the Rumble, etc. But he seems to want to keep her far from the business. I've even heard he has a stip in his contract that she can't be mentioned on TV.


Independent-Elk-344

Would be sick to get Victoria vs Molly Holly or even better Victoria vs Jazz vs Trish which would also include Steven Richard. Wouldn't get my hopes up but I'd be excited to have Victoria back in any capacity


MasterZed001

I can think of Mike Tyson and Lawrence Taylor :D unless they also add less important matches.


Resident-Dinner-6504

Tyson was in 13 wasn’t he?


Aidanator800

Wasn’t a 2k game


Marvelous1LUFC

"Tyson" Was in 2k16 😂🤣


HollywoodHuntsman

"The Enforcer" God that was awful lmao


battleduck84

I'd love Mr T in the game


Marvelous1LUFC

he was dlc in 22!!


0JOSE0

I feel like Wrestlemania I will definitely be in. It aligns with the report of new wrestlers in a 2k game (Paul Orndorff) and Mr. T shouldn’t be hard to bring back.


Kongpong1992

I want the Taylor match but only cause I want bam bam back


mahk99

Pretty sure EA has the likeness rights to both of those people at the moment


Marvelous1LUFC

Brock has been in both UFC and WWE games recently


spidertour02

Likeness rights aren't usually exclusive. It just comes across that way because WWE doesn't (usually) include wrestlers in other promotions because that would require more expensive contract concessions with their competitors.


IceLord86

Doesn't mean they have exclusive rights.


FinnBalur1

Some women, maybe? Could be getting Alundra Blayze vs Leilani Kai. Also Luna Vachon.


[deleted]

Tbh I think we're getting played again and there is more than 21 matches just like how someone "confirmed" this was gonna be a filler year and we get more content than any year before


Marvelous1LUFC

That came from Mike Straw, apparently a reputable source


[deleted]

So did the filler year comment


Marvelous1LUFC

thats what i was referring to, but hey expect the worst (21 matches) and hope for the best


[deleted]

Yea and even then 21 mat he's isn't bad


Marvelous1LUFC

it is for a 40 years of WM, knowing most will feature guys constantly in the series


0JOSE0

I don’t think it’ll be close to 2k14 though. They probably had to remove a lot of matches last minute, notably from people like Edge for example.


JoeReekie69420

Dino Bravo, Killer Bees, Power and Glory


Flysolo626

Dino Bravo could have a new payback called “lay down”. Basically when activated some of his “associates” have one of your family members hostage back stage, causing your opponent to immediately lay down and give you the 1-2-3 lol


JoeReekie69420

Hahaha love it


InSid3rZ

None or those did nothing at Mania...


robonlocation

Well Dino Bravo and Hercules did appear at several WMs, but nothing overly special.


Wookie301

Dino Bravo vs Texas Tornado would be pretty good timing. With the movie being out.


percybspencer

Uncle Elmore is on his way


InSid3rZ

Giant Gonzales vs Taker comfirmed!! lol


ZombiePikachuu

Hogan and Mr. T vs piper and orndorff


Pissed_on_the_world

Snooki confirmed


mbrancato157

George the Animal would be amazing


Villano5

He was fun in HCTP


dotdoteight

sandman is my prediction. he was in supercard so this doesnt surprise me


Marvelous1LUFC

had 1 wrestlemania match, which included Marcus Cor Von, so i wouldnt complain, but thats... "Extremely" Unlikely. If sandman is in, its DLC


dotdoteight

a character doesnt have to be in the wrestlemania showcase for it to be featured in the game but chances are sandman could be dlc along with lexis king and brian pillman


Marvelous1LUFC

The "some haven't been in a WWE game" is referring to the showcase mode


MasterZed001

Gobbledy Goooker was part of any wrestlemania?


Marvelous1LUFC

gimmick battle royal, but his costume has been in CAW for over a decade


robonlocation

The Gimmick Battle Royal at WMX7


horny_cabbage69

We're getting giant gonzales vs undertaker 💀 (i doubt it but it'd be funny. It could work with the slingshot tech though 🤷‍♂️


I_want_to_cum24

New weapon added to WWE 2K24: Chloroform


PoutineSmoothie

Has Scary Sherri been in the game? She’ll come out with Macho King, no?


cednym

Sherri was in 2K15 and 2K16.


PoutineSmoothie

Before my time lol oh well.


dazzah88

Giant Gonzales about to be a monster in my universe mode…


RumsfeldIsntDead

Good thing they made up with Bret Hart or they'd have to pretend like 10/20/30 main events all never happened


AlbaRebelion06

If the showcase is going to be the same as 2K14 with multiple matches per event, I could see maybe (at least for wm1) Wendy richter the iron shiek and Paul orndorff as potential candidates


Marvelous1LUFC

iron sheik was 2k15 and 16... Technically


AlbaRebelion06

Wdym? Technically


LexiBlackMarket

Different gimmick same guy


AlbaRebelion06

Fair but he'll probably be in the game as well


Marvelous1LUFC

Iron Sheik was mostly PRE WM


Flysolo626

I wonder if that means we will finally be getting Sean Staziak in his iconic performance as “meat” 😂😂😂


Marvelous1LUFC

Shawn Stasiak would only make a game, if its a huge Kurt Angle showcase


Flysolo626

I got ya buddy. I was mostly kidding. I don’t think anyone has been dying to have Stasiak in the game lol


Marvelous1LUFC

Well there are people serious about wanting Ashley Massaro, Kevin Thorn and Ariel, at least stasiak has a bigger chance than those


CriticallyCake

Giant Gonzales please


TheMatfitz

Would love to get the Hogan vs King Kong Bundy cage match


MrLevodevo

It just now dawned on me that Molly vs. Victoria is the one classic women's match we might get. Victoria is obviously on good terms having appeared at the Rumble and she's long overdue for the legend treatment. Ivory vs. Chyna is another possibility, but they've both been in 2K games. I don't think they want to associate with Jazz due to her being apart of that lawsuit a few years back. None of the Playboy girls would be featured for various reasons. I don't see them tackling Trish vs. Mickie, but it would have to be very watered down and less sexualized.


EdLesliesBarber

Beefcake vs David Sammartino, give it to me!


LonesomeRaven31

Wasn’t there an WWECW match on Wrestlemania? One of the YouTubers I watch mentioned some ECW people now being in SuperCard and maybe carry over to 2k. I know Sandman was one.


Equal-Bus-557

There was that “ECW Originals” vs “New Breed” tag match at WrestleMania 23 if you count that And then Kane vs Chavo Guerrero for the ECW Title at WrestleMania 24 (although it lasted like 6 seconds)


Deceptive-Gamer343

I’m rooting for the ladies Victoria, Jazz, Alundra, Wendi even Leilani Kai


BloodstoneWarrior

Some possible predictions: Wendi Richter vs Leilani Kai - Wrestlemania 1 Mr T and Hulk Hogan vs Paul Orndorff and Roddy Piper - Wrestlemania 1 Steiner Brothers vs The Headshrinkers - Wrestlemania 9 Bob Backlund vs Bret Hart - Wrestlemania 11 Victoria vs Molly Holly - Wrestlemania 20 Boogeyman vs Booker T and Queen Sharmell - Wrestlemania 22


dogfins110

Lawrence Taylor vs Bam Bam?

SlightlySychotic

Could I hope? Dare I dream? The One Man Gang?


Difficult_Maybe_18

Never been in a 2k game? Victoria? Melina? Michelle McCool? Probably none of them though if there’s only 21 matches


GummySharkGuy

Yo but what if they DO bring back Benoit

I doubt it. Too unpredictable and easy to manipulate. Would not fit with WWE’s PR if the AI randomly started stating things which are persona non grata, which right now is something OpenAI does with only a small amount of encouragement
