people seem pissed since they said "Now when we say unique, we're not counting the repeats like 5 John Cena models, or 8 Mark Henry models"

I guess you could spin that as having a different entrance counts as different *enough* to validate another roster spot.

But when that means the NXT Divas Revolution is gonna end up DLC, I can understand why people would be upset

Though for the people mad that AJ isn't in... might as well be mad that CM Punk isn't in. C'mon son.

Is this really the last list of the roster?

That's quite disheartening that there's a few notable absences (Billy Gunn, but no Road Dogg), and I know that they know that any NXT packs will sell like hotcakes. But it's astounding how many NXT guys are actually there from the get go.

Jesus, Mikey Whipwreck is in a WWE game? I didn't realize they were going into Austin's ECW career. They generally don't even acknowledge his matches, just the promos.

Yeah, they cheated on what they said.

Not unexpected, just disappointing.

Still, it's a great roster but the amount of divas in the game from the start is disappointing. Overall the amount of duplicates is six out of 120 wrestlers. It's not much of an issue.

Might actually have to get this purely for Mikey

But now I'm really confused about the Showcase. No Sandman, barely anyone from WCW or ECW but they got Whipwreck? It's like there's a match between Austin and Steamboat in WCW, Whipwreck in ECW then onto WWF or something.

Is Austin's showcase the only showcase pre-DLC?

Yeah, that's why I figured it was total career spanning. But it looks like there'll be a match each in WCW and ECW, then his whole WWF run up until the Invasion. Don't have the Invasion roster either.

It's a shame they won't have the Invasion angle, but then I'm not really going to miss it. Strange times.

How many austin models with there be? I'm hoping stunning wcw/superstarecw Steve are one model. Under/over 2.5 Austin models in this game? I'm going over unfortunately.

Ecw having a presence is awesome! Mikey and the whippersnapper being in is a good look. No durag sandman though? Tsk tsk

So no Scott Hall?

Hoping DLC for
Hall
Sid
The Sandman
Yokozuna
Mr. Perfect

If Whipwreck is in than The Sandman should be a given

Well you'd think, wouldn't you? But I think there's even less chance Sandman being DLC if he's not there in the base game since then he'd be used in the Showcase. Just weird Mikey for in and he didn't.
 
Thought this edition was supposed to have a killer roster yet I'm left wanting...

I guess I'll just have to wait for them to do a WCW vs WWE vs. ECW showcase mode.

Enzo and Cass Entrance (IGN Player)

They need to have a conversation with their audio engineer or whoever is in charge of sound mixing.

People actually think they are going to get Rollin' with Badass Taker. I highly doubt that.

Yeah, you know what? Maybe it's okay that Road Dogg isn't in the game.

Plus, I also doubt we're getting the American Badass with Taker either. Rather they just give him the Raw is War theme.

Sasha Banks and the other four horsewomen are DLC huh.
 
So I'm presuming ABA Taker gonna be on for the power trip fued, so it's looking like 2001 taker. Also, hopefully 2000-2001 Triple H didn't have half as disgraceful hair he did on 2K15.

It's interesting how they're using the "Enzo and Cass after they get called up to Raw and the crowds don't know their gimmick" entrance that hasn't happened yet. I guess they're trying to keep the game from being outdated at release.


how is Mr. Perfect not in the game? Who picks the roster for these things?


Looks like they're stopping Austin's showcase before he and Hennig worked together. Everybody who isn't current or in his mode are just holdovers from last year.
