I hope they aren't just putting all the DLC from last year on this years game and just adding a few new wrestlers.

Did a really quick count and got 88, not counting any duplicates. Someone correct me if I'm wrong and missed anyone.

In a way I like it if they're setting the precedent that guys will carry over from game to game, and it gives me slight hope that arenas added in DLC will also stay in the game.

I just hope that if they're doing that, they appropriately transition characters to their most well-known and likely most-used looks (unless they're needed in specific gimmicks for Showcase modes). Like Macho Man over Macho King, Iron Sheik instead of Col. Mustafa, Honky Tonk Man with tights.

I dunno,if Mustafa, Adnon and Turncoat Slaughter are in the game it's gonna be awful weird to not have Hogan too

Here is who will definitely be out:

Del Rio, AJ Lee, CM Punk, Hogan, Rey Mysterio, Santino, Corey Graves

Fandango might not be in because I don't think he's been involved in anything meaningful for awhile, but I could be wrong.

Actually, there's no reason they can't include Graves. He's a full-time employee, just forced to retire from in-ring. They may include him as they have him ready to go from 2K15. The same may be true for Santino, although I don't know what contract, if any, he has with WWE right at this moment.

I'd expect Fandango to return as he's an active WWE wrestler who still appears on TV and they have him from last year. I'd guess they want to have as complete a main roster as they can, plus all the top level NXT talent from the early months of 2015. I'm sure there will be some inexplicable omission somewhere though.

To be fair, those characters were already in before Hogan was dummied out, and it would be unfair to cut them out (since the wrestlers would miss out on being paid for the use of their likeness).

I agree I hope they keep Graves in there as an active wrestler.

Maybe they can go with Slaughter after he got America back (but then they need Duggan in there as well).

# 30 Trent Booty @ 08/14/15 06:10 PM

It would be so awesome if they had like different attires for guys (like Iron Shiek/Mustafa, Macho King/Macho Man) so it would just be different attires, entrances and potentially even move sets. That would be literally perfect.

# 31 Trent Booty @ 08/14/15 06:11 PM

Like certain guys would have up to like 5-6 different attires.

Too bad both of those things you are mentioning would actually take up multiple roster spots as they are different gimmicks.

I wouldn't mind several options for a guys like Savage and his Macho Man gimmick have different outfits to choose from.

I just realized we might end up with 3 different Barretts...ugh (Wade Barrett, Bad News Barrett, King Barrett..although that one might be too new)

At least most of the current roster has had the same gimmick and wont take multiple spots.

No I meant what if they had both gimmicks in one single character model.

yeah true, that's what I want as well. But then you would also need to make it possible for multiple entrances for each spot.

Exactly. I don't think it would be that hard to do
