This New Day "Table for 3" is absolutely amazing.
Legitimately laughing out loud at these guys.

What a stupid, anticlimatic, cop-out finish. Charlotte should have won to attempt to breathe some life in this "Divas Revolution", but instead John Cena's woman goes over, because ![](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wfcensored.gif) logic.

I wonder if Whipwreck being in the game means we get this ECW Championship design as well: ![](http://41.media.tumblr.com/86a8adb0e7bbfde0f6db85a5167ceef7/tumblr_mfnpwhYH321rkf4k0o1_500.png)

Quick question... Going down the list again, I don't see a render on the page for ECW Austin, although I definitely see a screen shot. Will he be playable? He is probably an alternate attire for "Stunning" Steve Austin.

DLC is not a new concept to this game or any game in the past 5+ years, why is everyone acting like this is the first time they're encountering it? Is it right? No, but it's going to be around till video games stop existing. It would appear that most wrestling fans don't play more than just wrestling games.

The NXT selling out the Barclays Center on SummerSlam weekend, while great and I was certainly excited for NXT to do it, is not the norm for them.
It was part of a weekend where there were a lot of fans traveling to the area, and WWE is trying to create a summer version of WrestleMania weekend. It was an example of a perfect storm coming together. If NXT was selling out venues like that on a regular basis, there would be a little more weight to the argument, but for now, and especially to WWE (who makes the final calls on these things, 2K) NXT is still just a small part of the WWE product.
As for the argument that they were bigger deals at the roster cutoff, again, they were growing with the NXT fans, yeah, but not the general audience, which is who this game is catered to. The closest TakeOver to WrestleMania (generally accepted roster cutoff these days) was Rival, which featured the 4-way for the women's title, which is when the ladies started to pick up steam, but as I mentioned earlier, the priority was put on the rosters that would be used in the main single player modes.

It boggles my brain some of the expectations people had for this roster.
Kurt Angle? No chance.
Owen Hart? Even less of a chance.
NXT Divas? The NXT fanbase is a small niche compared to the rest of the WWE fanbase, yeah it's growing, and the women's fanbase is growing with it, but that really hasn't picked up any steam until the last few months or so, long after the roster cutoff took place. When the roster cutoff took place, you could argue that the die-hard NXT women's fans were still just a very small sliver of the audience. A niche of a niche. Yeah, it's grown thanks to the likes of Charlotte, Sasha, and Becky hitting the main roster with the "Divas Revolution", but again, it we LONG after the on-disc roster for this game is finalized.
I always anticipated that they would probably be DLC, but then again, I tried to keep my expectations realistic.

You guys may hate it, but it makes sense for the NXT divas to not make the on-disc roster over others.
Most, if not all, of the male NXT stars will play a part in the MyCareer mode. I believe something was said about spending more time in NXT this year, so obviously NXT needs a bigger roster to fill that part out.
A lot of the legends are part of the showcase mode, the other major single player mode this year.
It's not like 2K left the ladies off for no good reason. They put the priority on 2 of the major selling points of this year's game. Everything else is a bonus.
Also, as much as I hate to say it, and as much as you don't want to admit it, the die-hard diva fans are still a small part of the audience. Yes, it is starting to grow, but it really didn't start to grow until the last couple of months, long after when the main roster for the game was locked down.
I have faith we will see the ladies as part of one of the DLC packs.

You know what would be awesome?
If Pillman had a Hollywood Blondes alternate attire.
I'm just picturing the Blondes running the tag team scene in my Universe mode.

I really wish they would bring back stand alone season mode instead of forcing me to play connected franchise to do it.
I don't want to deal with all of the other stuff like earning XP and off field stuff. I just want to take my favorite team, and play their schedule. That's it.

Not sure where you are located but the WalMart in Monroe NY had 3 Brock's when I was there last week. I live out in Central Indiana, so unfortunately that doesn't help me. Appreciate the thought, though.

I know that when Piper passed away, they made the episode of the show he was on available, BUT...
A promo just ran before NXT that announced that Table for 3 will officially premiere after Raw this Monday.

Yep. I knew. Just can't find the damn thing. I've been checking the 3 Walmarts around where I live and work and keep coming up empty.

I think making Andre a full 6" would have been a little much. Making him they way they did (slightly bigger than normal like Croc) is the better way to go.
I had no idea that some places were getting them in stock already. I'm still trying to track down Savage and Brock in stores! (Not a fan of ordering things online, much prefer the hunt)

As much as I would love to have Blue Pants in the game, we probably wouldn't be able to have her entrance theme due to copyrights.

Looking back at that trophy list again, it really sounds like Create a Show is the old Create a PPV mode back.
History Making Event - Create And Complete A 7 Match Wrestlemania Show.
The Future Starts Now - Create your first NXT Takeover event.
Those sound like Create a PPV to me.

Charlotte making Nikki tap out with just seconds on the clock would make for an incredible ending to Raw next week.
Which means they'll be on halfway through the show and Nikki is going over.

Has anyone found Flair or Sting yet? Also anyone have a pic of the Target DareDevil? Flair and Sting haven't been released yet. Those are still a month or so from release.
