Looks like Garry Shandling gone Western. Seriously though, as long as all the guys in my sig are on the roster, I'll be happy. What was the last game Mr. Perfect was in?

We also need a new submission system. The breaking point system is complete garbage. I would prefer one like we used to have, stop the ball in blue area or something like that. The healthier you are, the easier it is and more chances you have to do it. The more beat down you are, the harder the system is.

I've just realized that this is the first year that there's actually a small (very small) chance that Owen Hart could actually be included in the game. In early April they settled the Owen Hart lawsuit with WWE now being allowed to use his likeness (and having to pay her royalties). If Owen's in, the roster'll start rivaling the Legends of Wrestling series in the sense of legends. (of course we're not gonna get Dr. Death, though...) However, even though I do want him to be in, I highly doubt he will be. Maybe someone can make a CAW of him that looks as good as that 3D printed head of his for the action figures over in the custom section...

But now more than ever, there's a chance. He's certainly a key Wrestlemania star for his WM10 match with Bret Hart alone.

I just realized something that might dash whatever hopes I had for a WrestleMania legacy theme; people who attended the Warrior preview event said there are 39 arena slots. Every year THQ says the select screen isn't final, but it always ends up being the same. Taking 29 WrestleMania arenas out of the equation, we're left with 10 -- obviously not enough for every TV show and PPV.

So yeah earlier Cory Ledesma tweeted "If I can be serious for a moment...." If this doesn't lead to Lance Storm I'll be upset, so I will most likely be upset, which is how it usually goes when Cory trolls on Twitter. OMG LANCE STORM YES. ME SO HAPPY. Watch if he is in, it be the cabbage patch dance version

They might not include all of them, they've been changing some of the PPVs this year. They've created a couple new ones while abandoning some of the old ones. Maybe it'll just be: Raw SD Main Event Rumble Elimination Chamber Extreme Rules Money In The Bank Summerslam Survivor Series TLC Or maybe this year they'll do some DLC arenas? Last year they did moves and titles so it's not too insane to think that they'd do an arena pack.

Am I the only one who loses finshers if I store them for too long? Or is that my imagination? I only ever lose them if I use a wake-up taunt and don't hit the finisher within 30 seconds.

I would also love to see rolling under the bottom rope in a Royal Rumble avaliable. But maybe make it that way when it gets down to the last 2 people or something so you don't have people spamming it?

I expect a WWE Championship history storyline over a WrestleMania one.
especially since they recently celebrated the WWE Championships 50th Anniversary.

My problem is that they went out of their way to add a modern Shawn Michaels in his WMXXVI attire instead of taking the easier (lazier) route, but his match against Undertaker wasn't for the WWE Championship.

Yeah Shawn never held the title when he started wearing the leathery chaps attire. Plus I don't think the ABA Undertaker ever held the title either. It wasn't until he was "big evil" with the short hair in 2002.

I think it's hilarious how everyone in this thread is over analyzing the theme of the game just because of a few confirmed superstars. I still believe that the Attitude Era mode will return, that's why ABA Taker is in the game and he's on-disc DLC like Mike Tyson was in WWE '13. As for JBL and modern HBK, they're just bonus characters like Kevin Nash and Booker T in WWE '13.

Why would they put Shawn in the trailer and make a special announcement for JBL if they were just throwaway characters like Booker and Nash were in '13? People are just trying to make sense of the information that's available. No matter what anyone says it's all just speculation until we finally see the roster and hear what the game's focus is.

I don't really think Nash and Booker T were throw away characters in WWE 13. Kevin Nash had a really big feud with Triple H that culminated in a match at WWE TLC which was AFTER WWE 12 was released. In WWE 13, Kevin Nash was in his modern attire he wore at TLC.
As for Booker T, he wrestled at Wrestlemania 28 in the Team Teddy vs. Team Johnny match, and also had a pretty high profile feud with Cody Rhodes while WWE 13 was in development.
So I don't really think Nash and Booker were throw aways just to make the fans happy....they were involved in some current WWE storylines while WWE 13 was in development.
I hope Booker T and Kevin Nash are both in WWE 2k14, regardless of the era.

I hope Booker T and Kevin Nash are both in WWE 2k14, regardless of the era. Yeah, I knew someone would call me out for using that term and, granted, it may not have been the best one. So fair enough. I'm in no way talking about them as wrestlers being throwaways, but their roles in the game, as neither fit the classification of modern (as both were no longer competing at the time of the game's release) or Attitude rosters. The same thing applies to modern Edge and Lita as well as the other Cena. I'm happy they included all of them in the game--extremely happy in some cases, such as Edge--but it doesn't change the fact that if they weren't in the game, probably no one would have batted an eye. In fact, the inclusion of Booker and Nash only created more confusion because people kept grasping at some WCW aspect to the game.

I'd be extremely disappointed if Nash wasn't on WWE 14. If it's Attitude then I'd want NWO Nash, if it's BOWM then Diesel will go down very nicely.
I was so pleased to see Nash in his TLC attire on 13 as it's one of the nicest attires he ever wore.
Hopefully they re-add his chokeslam into his moveset. I know it's not that big a deal as you can change moves but for online play if you edit a moveset then you can only use them in matches that have CC switched on (which I never do as I hate caws and people often put ridiculous moves on people to make them really cheap).

Plus JBL, Edge, Booker and Nash were cool "modern legend" additions to the game.

They've dug themselves into a hole with the stellar roster from last year, the anticipation is killing me but they will need to make huge strides by either keeping the Attitude roster and adding more, or having some top, most wanted names included for me to care.

But it doesn't change the fact that at this point it's nothing but speculation. And I totally agree with those guys being great to have in the game. Like I said, the modern Edge was probably one of the surprises I was the most happy about. They've dug themselves into a hole with the stellar roster from last year, the anticipation is killing me but they will need to make huge strides by either keeping the Attitude roster and adding more, or having some top, most wanted names included for me to care. So true, dude. I don't know if they thought they were going out for sure last year or what the case was, but I was saying it before '13 was even out that I didn't know how they could ever top that roster. Here we all this time later and I still feel the exact same way. The roster reveal will surely be interesting to see.
