I was looking at the pre order info at amazon & they list both The Rock as well as Bruno Sammartino being in the game.

Well we knew that Rock would be in the game, he was unveiled as the cover boy for the game a month (?) ago. As for Sammartino, I think it's great that he's in a game so early and maybe this will lead to a Legends type of spin on this years edition. Over the edge, I think you have too much time on your hands. |

Think about it, it doesn't male much sense for Bruno to be just thrown into the roster it doesn't mix well. Actually, it kind of does. Just because he'll be in doesn't mean it defines part of the roster. They made a deal with him--that's probably it--like how DDP was in last year. Sure, he was around during the Attitude Era, but he wasn't anywhere close to relevant to the rest of the Attitude roster. They just signed him on to be in the game. It's not like they're ever going to have a game with a portion of the roster from Bruno's time. They finally got him into the Hall of Fame, so they're probably just taking advantage of that and marketing it in every way they can. |

Even though he was in WCW he was a HUGE star and I'd say he's in my top 7 most used wrestlers in '13. As for Bruno, I really don't have interest in playing with him along with current guys. I'm just speaking for myself though. |

I'm not saying I don;t want Bruno in a WWE game. All I'm saying is that I only see myself using him if there are guys on the roster who fit in with his era. |

If we're going by that logic, how would Sammartino be relevant to a 2013 roster? He wouldn't. That's the exact point I'm making. They included DDP in '13, not because of the whole Attitude Era roster, but because they cut a deal with him to be in the game regardless. I'm saying that's the same thing going on with Bruno this year. You originally said this: And, now that we've ran in this huge circle, that's all I've been trying to explain this whole time--the reasoning for his inclusion. I'm not saying he fits in. I'm not saying that there are going to be other guys from his time in the game. All I'm saying is that they struck a deal with him to be in the next game, so he's going to be in the next game. The rest of the roster and everything else is a non-issue. |

I still can't see how they're going to catch much interest in this unless they bring everyone back from the last game.
If they expect me to buy this if they're cutting guys like Nash, Bret, Bulldog, Pillman etc and the consolation is them adding guys like Fandango, Shield and Langston then it's an easy pass for me.
I think the best way is to do 99-02 in the AE, culminating at WM18. Then they can have bonus unlockable guys from 97 like Vader, LOD, Bret etc like they did with Jericho, Lita, Guerrero on '13.
I would imagine that Sammartino would be one of the guys you get for ordering the Season Pass like Goldust and DDP were for '13.

I think Bruno makes sense, I think the roster should be everyone relevant to the current production.
Legends like Austin, HBK, Edge etc added too plus the years HoF class.

If they don't do a continuation of the Attitude deal, then I think there's actually a good chance we won't see Edge, as he's not currently signed with the company in any capacity. Personally, I really, really, really hope that won't be the case, but it's unfortunately a very real possibility.

I really hope they continue AE mode but I just can't see how it is possible with Angle, Benoit, Dudleys, Jeff Hardy, and more having a very very small chance of being in.

I would love to see that, I just don't believe it's a realistic possibility since guys like Vader and LOD had minor roles during the Attitude Era and were only included in WWE '13 because they reused the same models from WWE '12 I really hope they continue AE mode but I just can't see how it is possible with Angle, Benoit, Dudleys, Jeff Hardy, and more having a very very small chance of being in. It's still possible, they just can't use any of the main events between King of the Ring 2000 and Survivor Series 2000. |

Well I mean if all you want to get out of the mode is the build to Mania 17 and Austin/Rock II I guess it's that simple. But I'd much rather have it be like last year where each chapter focuses on a specific guy and you still get an idea of what else was going on and where guys are going leading to the Mania 17. |

I'd like to see them keep the Attitude Era Mode format, but not limit to that era specifically. Just have a definining matches mode or something where you can relive big feuds. That way you can still do big attitude era matches without having to be specific to a time that includes people no longer with the company and do things like Edge/Cena culminating in TLC, or Batista/Triple H from Wrestlemania 21 or something.

I would have hoped for the latter portion of Attitude transitioning into Ruthless Aggression but there would be plenty of guys to play with from Bruno's time that would be worth while. Most of the guys from that era are already on decent terms or have a likeness deal so it would fit together nicely. Dusty, Backlund, Sheik, Iron Sheik, Graham who were WWWF mainstays plus those that were around during the Hulkamania era- Piper, Macho, Santana, Valentine, Orndorff etc would all fit in well if that had like an old school mode

Guys like Hogan and Savage were starting out as Bruno was winding his career down. |
