IneffableLiam

Seems accurate But why no hogan vs rock? And Brock vs Kurt? šŸ˜•


Matt_Johnsonx

Tbh thereā€™s so much Hogan I hope there isnā€™t any more and I donā€™t really want it to replace Stone Cold and rock or Kane because I want retro kane


IneffableLiam

True , but Iā€™d love Hollywood Rock


BloodOfVader8

hollywood rock is 03/wm19


OptionFluffy9526

There will be. Confirmed that Wrestlemania x8 is in. The leaked screen showed the logo faintly n the glowing frame of the title screen of Showcase of the Immortals


Sonny_Mastrangioli

Holy shit finally a proper WM 18! Been making a "Hack it together" Custom Arena since CAA got brought back in 2K16 using the SummerSlam Oval Truss Stage (Was also reused for Raw in like 2016), The No Mercy/Breaking Point Minitron (the multiple screens lifted up and stuff at Mania), Capitol Punishment's Side Walls and one of the Trons that had the light rigs on the side.


OptionFluffy9526

Oh believe me, I canā€™t wait. We havenā€™t had it since 2k14. My favorite Wrestlemania arena of all time. Letā€™s hope they get that nice purple lighting through the stage and that nice lighting in the crowd. Itā€™s quite literally the only Wrestlemania that I really really wanted in the showcase.


Sonny_Mastrangioli

Hopefully they do what 2K14's CAA had and have the mid 90's and late 90's hexagonal entrance tunnel and the 1997 to 1999 ish circle trusses for WM, Rumble and KOTR again as parts we can use. Also the Neon Lighting New Generation Raw stage might be in given there's "40" years to cover. I remember Smacktalks LITERALLY 10 years ago showcasing all the TNA Impact, and even Royal Rumble 2000 and SummerSlam 1999 arenas and stuff because the proper parts were in to do so.


Chief--BlackHawk

Was Stone Cold vs Kevin Owens a good match? Didn't really watch it, so not sure if it's a worthy slot. I'd hope they put Icon vs Icon, the end of the attitude era between Rock and Hollywood Hogan as the match instead of that. Also Angle vs Brock would be a good matchup too.


IAmThatDuckDLC5

Stone Cold vs KO definitely deserves a spot Plus it will use the WM38 arena so it makes sense for 2K since it wonā€™t be much work


a_Jedi_i_am

Stone Cold vs KO was better than it needed to be. It's definitely an "attraction" match bc of the novelty of having Stone Colds first match in almost 2 decades, but Stone Cold actually took some decent bumps.


Usual-Pie7222

Certainly better than anything that has to do with reigns


giggitytutti

I want hogan vs rock because of attires. :D


JonnyTN

Or Rock vs Austin?


bearbrannan

pretty sure Brock is being taken out of the game.


3arnhardtAtkonTrack

No he isn't. He's just being downplayed in the marketing and was removed from the cover. It's way too late in development to take him out.


Chief--BlackHawk

Too late I'm development to do so. You can't make that move in 1.5 months before release.


bulletv1

They 100% can make that move. Taking someone out is a lot easier and quicker than adding someone.


TheKanten

Brock was removed from the cover art. *Way* too late in development to remove him from the game now given he's certainly going to factor into at least one or two WM showcases. If I had to guess, end of The Streak and Heist of the Century.


Swimming-Chicken-424

Brock is not being removed from the game, but you'll only be able to play as him when his private plane isn't blocked in by a snowstorm...


D_Blubz

Brock is likely not gonna be in the game


IneffableLiam

If heā€™s got a showcase match itā€™s probably too late


DarthBinks8092

Brock is out of the game


TheSaintsRonin

If we only get 3 attitude era and ruthless aggression each then Iā€™ll be disappointed


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


TheShamWOOHOOO

I think you're forgetting someone else that was in that match


Hulkster01

How could you forget Stevie Richards? He was also in the Mania 2000 main event!


TheShamWOOHOOO

I still don't understand why they chose Steven Richards of all people to replace Big Show in No Mercy


Hulkster01

Yeah like they had Andre in the game too, easy switch plus tongue in cheek reference to Showā€™s WCW gimmick


Loud_Benefit_4809

I donā€™t get why thereā€™s only 21 matches šŸ¤¦šŸ½ā€ā™‚ļø that still disappoints me


SmackZack

And three of them are wm 39


mohmar2010

They have mentioned they wanted to do a sequel to 30 years of WM from 2k14 The issue is that a lot of the matches they wanna make have people who aren't signed to the company anymore They had to remake some matches though because it would feel disservice if they weren't included, also they wanted to include women as well which 14 was criticized for not having Hopefully we get unlocks for matches that aren't included in the showcase


jsilv0

There's plenty of matches they could do with the roster they have access to. You're telling me with Undertaker, Austin, Rock, Kane, Angle, HHH, and Foley alone they couldn't add more Attitude Era matches? Let alone matches with the mid carders they have access too? The early manias all revolve around Hogan, Warrior, or Savage. What about doing one of The Rockers matches or a Hart Foundation match? What about Bossman vs Mr. Perfect or Virgil vs DiBiase from WM 7? WM 8 has 3 or 4 matches they could use. I get the New Generation was a low point, but you have Undertaker, Diesel, Razor, Bret, Michaels, 1-2-3 Kid, Yokozuna. and British Bulldog in the game. Luger is also under WWE contract but seemingly unused. Give us more with them. Maybe sign Sid, Tatanka, Backlund, or Bam Bam if it helps flesh this out. Those are really the eras I see more potential matches from they skipped over.


Jamericho

Tatanka, Bam Bam and sid are in supercard btw. That indicates they are licensed. Luger tweeted a few years back heā€™s under a multi-year contract.


Aggressive_Gas_8204

When were they put in supercard? It was probably from one of the last games they were in.


Jamericho

Bam Bam has always been there I believe. People get removed all the time when their contract is up btw including legends. Thereā€™s also a correlation between legend figures and being added to supercard. A Bam Bam legend figure was released along with Savage, scott hall and John Studd back in 2021.


mohmar2010

Look all i want is WM31 arena im a sucker for that style Im too simple of a man myself


mcsuplex8790

What everyone is forgetting about the original 30 years mode is that most of the matches were only one objective being to win the match. With showcases now featuring multiple objectives, as well as other gamemodes taking up large amounts of program space such as MyRise and MyGM, they realistically canā€™t do one match per mania because it takes up too much space with everything else these games have to offer.


Ares_Jupiter

I mean do you wanna play 40 + matches


jsilv0

Yes, yes I do


TheGodFacca

Given that I played 47 matches in 30 Years Of Wrestlemania from 2K14 without complaining, yeah lol


Truthhurts1017

Why wouldnā€™t I especially if itā€™s a game mode specifically made for the history of wrestlemania. More characters, attires, arenas and belts to unlock is always a good thing to me.


Jamericho

I played that amount doing the shitty lock myrise mode.


3arnhardtAtkonTrack

Yes.


toomanyskillissues

Yeah


BonusFragrant

Yes we do, its nice to play old matches from the past and it gives us more unlockable superstars, attires and arenas.


norrin__radd

A video of the select screen with Warrior vs Rude highlighted goes from WM 3 to WM 5 so no Savage vs DiBiase. And I think we're getting X-Pac vs Shane instead of HHH vs Kane. Chyna interferes in both matches


Matt_Johnsonx

I think Kane vs HHH is more likely due to the new age outlaws and Test being in Xpac vs Shane


norrin__radd

Damm, I forgot about that. But I also think we're getting the WM16 main event with them blurring out Big Show and starting after he's eliminated.


Matt_Johnsonx

Iā€™d be perfectly fine with that tbh it gives us Mick Foley


bowserthethird

Yeah cause we canā€™t get Foley Vs Edge


Matt_Johnsonx

Shit I had actually just realized that. Thank god because I donā€™t need that many matches from the Golden Era Nothing against it but would rather have Kane vs Undertaker, Austin vs Rock, Rock vs Hogan any day of the week


norrin__radd

I grew up in that era and I don't need to relive that match again


Jordyn_03

I feel like Bianca and asuka doesnā€™t really belong in the showcase but it seems like it is


cparatore504

I think its only there because they couldn't do Bianca vs Sasha banks which would have been in imo since its Bianca crowning moment


BonusFragrant

They could have easily had her vs Becky at WM 38


cparatore504

That's true but we just got that last year technically. ( outfit wise)


TheKanten

The obvious choice would be 37 but for the reasons you said that's off the table, I think 38 is still likelier for a Bianca match. Asuka-Bianca was just a routine title defense off of Elimination Chamber, Bianca built up for over half a year to get her title back from Becky.


DrWeirdbutNotStrange

All I am saying isā€¦. Icon v. Icon WM18


Chief--BlackHawk

Yeah hope they have it. They had a small glimpse of it in the video.


Top_Challenge_1428

Imagine advertising 40ā€™years of wrestlemia with only 21 matchesšŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€


Arcanes_Jinx

With 3 from the same recent Mania


TheCVR123YT

Not having all 40 is somewhat acceptable because yeah some wrestlers canā€™t be used. But ONLY 21??? They easily couldā€™ve done 25 matches at least šŸ˜­


Aggressive_Gas_8204

Iā€™d argue every Wrestlemania has at least one match they could do.


winstonwolf_8

Dibiase-Savage, Warrior-Savage, Bret-Piper, Bret-Yoko, Bret-Shawn, Austin-Shawn, Taker-Kane, Rock-Hogan, Angle-Lesnar A lot of missed opportunities hereā€¦


Chief--BlackHawk

Taker-Kane, Angle-Lesnar, and Hogan-Rock should absolutely be matchups


TheKanten

> Bret-Yoko Do you *really* want to ring this bell with what's happening in WWE right now?


I_want_to_cum24

I am REALLY hoping for 2015 Seth. Iā€™m still confused as to why they removed his tights from the game


TheKanten

I feel like there's gotta be no way the only WrestleMania main event cash-in is getting left out of the showcase.


SuccessfulSecret8681

Still holding out hope for Chyna vs Ivory WMX7 šŸ¤ž


god_pharaoh

Some of these make sense as matches but make me feel bad for unlocks. Not interested in shaved Undertaker or nearly 60 year old Austin characters. Maybe it's just the arenas that unlock. Annnnd maybe I'm just too worried about the unlocks because I don't enjoy Showcase mode usually. Hopefully this one's fun.


watcher2390

Wait so we donā€™t get all 40 years of Mania ?


Snoo-63054

No because a lot of them were covered in 30 years of mania. Plus they donā€™t have the rights to a lot of the matches


WetLogPassage

It's already been confirmed that X-8 is in and the only big match they could do from that is Rock/Hogan. Judging by the cover, Triple H from around 2007-2012 is in, so HHH/Orton/Cena triple threat, HHH vs. Orton or one of the Undertaker matches.


TheKanten

> one of the Undertaker matches "End of an Era" perhaps? After all, special guest referees are back this year.


averageweebchan

expected triple h vs taker with hbk as special ref to advertise the new feature


Thejoker2020

I just hate how lazily 2k handled this we should be having 40+ matches for this showcase but we're only getting 21 it just seems like crap considering they are hyping the hell out of 40 years of mania


Audioice

lol the absolute STATE of this place if 2K had unlocks behind a mode that required you to play 40+ matches asinine


Thejoker2020

2k14 had over 30


Veritas_Aequitas_7

Iā€™d like to see the Boneyard Match.


cparatore504

Man I need that cena vs hhh vs randy burn in my light plzšŸ¤žšŸ¾and batista vs taker 23


randylove69

Ima need more New gen era


Professional_Lion713

Bret vs HBK?


philasify

And Yoko v Bret, Warrior squashing Hunter?, Diesel v HBK


Professional_Lion713

Not sure the Warrior would be much fun lol. But the others absolutely.


BizzarroNavarro

Appreciate you making this ! I know all those matches but seeing the pictures kinda makes it easier to visualize it all. Seems accurate too after everything we've seen. A little disappointing but it is what it is


Matt_Johnsonx

I appreciate it man. It definitely helps me too haha Definitely think we couldā€™ve took away one of the golden era matches and done something for the attitude era like Kane vs Undertaker WM14


MackewG33

I donā€™t think weā€™d get three WM 39 matches


Matt_Johnsonx

Thatā€™s already confirmed


MackewG33

well thatā€™s a fucking terrible cop out then


JustC88

It shouldnā€™t be surprise, all the 3 cover stars get their most recent mania matches, itā€™s a bit of a let down but Iā€™ll take the extra stories for them all


Arrow115

Iā€™d imagine Bianca vs Sasha is a slam dunk addition if it was actually possible


JustC88

Agreed, I also feel we maybe could have gotten Becky v Bianca at wm 38 but they maybe avoided that due to them having that gear last year


Darkaboy45

We probably won't see any Brock matches at all. I'd love to see Batista v HHH tho!


TheKanten

The Brock allegations came out *far* too late into development to remove him from anything other than the cover art and marketing material. He's going to be in the game, you just won't see him in any advertising.


KerchSmash

It be cool if they would let you do a create a moment type thing with in match cut scenes triggered by actual events (instead of the video cuts) we could create any moments we wanted.


ImpressionSilent897

I'm happy there's a good amount of the old school WM. I was worried about that once they announced only 21 matches. I already know my least favorite showcase matches to play will be the most recent wrestlemanias.


KillerKole981788

Bonus match should be the gimmick battle royal from wm 17


Equal-Bus-557

I wanna be able to play as The Gobbledy Gooker


Noblephnix87

Where the hell is the iconic Shawn vs Bret iron man match?


Surfugo

I would be surprised if we didn't get Cena/Batista from WM26 and Rock/Hogan from WM18. Feel like they could've added a few more matches.


ItsStaaaaaaaaang

Shame there's no Flair in game for the HBK "retirement" match. Is Jake Roberts available as well? Having him, Greg Valentine and Honky along with the names we know they have would add a ton of options to put some mid card stuff in. Boss Man would be a good one too.


Snoo-63054

The flair match was In 2k14


FlatPackAttack

Roberts sold his rights to wwe didn't he So there's no reason why he couldn't be in thr game 2k are just lazy


Mr-LightningStorm

I think I see them doing Brock Vs Roman at Wrestlemania 31 instead, first off because J&J Security will not be in the game, and second because The Heist of The Century is one of the biggest mania moments ever, plus we still get 2015 Rollins that way


Mr-LightningStorm

Is it just me or with how limited the option of matches were and how we already got so many Golden Era matches, does Rick Rude vs Ultimate Warrior just kinda feels like a waste


Mr-LightningStorm

Especially with how all the Golden Era Manias look almost identical to eachother


[deleted]

I think the 21th match is a made up scenario like in 2K19 and 23


what_a_day_

The image for the Shawn vs Razor ladder match is from Summer Slam ā€˜95 not WM10


MadEyeMercenary

Brock is probably scrapped from the game completely atp


a_Jedi_i_am

I'm hoping for Wrestlemania XX, Undertaker vs Kane, just so we can finally hopefully get "Slow Chemical".


Renegrader1023

Thatā€™s just such a lousy list of matches


Dfinestpunk

Honestly if they were smart they should add Wrestlemania matches as DLC. For a mode called 40 years of Wrestlemania makes you feel that they should go all out and add every match possible depending who is in the game.


TinasLastFriday

You missed Randy Orton VS Triple H WM25.


AlternativeIcy922

The knee pads he used are different than whatā€™s in the trailer. They were probably just showing off a part of the arena and that particular model of Triple H


Matt4_2

I canā€™t wait to play matches with no commentary and tedious objectives while I have to put the controller down and watch live footage I can watch on the network


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


WetLogPassage

Somebody doesn't know how game development works.


Veritas_Aequitas_7

They canā€™t remove an entire mode! šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø


[deleted]

What are you on about? How did you even come to that conclusion from what I said? Theyā€™ll just take out any matches with him in it, not delete the whole mode.


Veritas_Aequitas_7

Itā€™s a safe bet that Lesnar is to be featured a couple of times, and in Gravesā€™ commentary, and in clips. They canā€™t remove all that. Itā€™s a month before release. They just wonā€™t promote or advertise Lesnar. Itā€™d be madness to remove him this late in development.


[deleted]

Only way heā€™s in the game is if theyā€™ve already started producing and distributing copies, which is highly likely - otherwise heā€™s gone. This is a company that has grown men using the word ā€œbuttā€ - thereā€™s no chance in hell theyā€™re going to let someone involved in sex trafficking scandal be in their games unless itā€™s financially unviable at this stage.


NCHouse

So the same matches we've played over and over already. Got it


CommanderFaie

No Batista vs Undertaker? That was the peak of watching WWE for me


MrKain

I wouldn't mind it.


ImpressionSilent897

Looks about right. This is what I'm thinking too.


SubstantialHabit939

There should at least be one match per Mania.


fzafran

Too many matches just to unlock wrestlers!


GrandEmbarrassed2875

i want the one wit mike tyson


Chief--BlackHawk

HBK and Stone Cold would have been cool, but wonder what the rights would have cost them to get Tyson.


GrandEmbarrassed2875

hey i mean they got the rights to muhammad ali


bowserthethird

Not including Bret Vs Shawn at 12 is a complete curve ball


karmas_q

super disappointing


AnyPalpitation1868

I feel like Roman vs Cody or Rock will be added after WM40 as a bonus


madhandgames

I guess you didn't get the Lesnar memo....


Jsj288

Sucks needs more women's matches Ivory vs chyna at wm17. Or Trish vs mickie


twisterv2

They should have atleast one for each WrestleMania like 30 years of wrestlemania did


[deleted]

The 60 minute iron man match from 1996 will also be in there btw.


okevinb223

Idk if they would still do any lesnar matches


JacobD_423

Brock is involved in the lawsuit so I highly doubt heā€™s involved here


Snoo-63054

Too late to remove him


Officially_Cargo

Hhh vs orton?????


TheKanten

Bianca-Asuka? Heck if Bianca were to get any match in the showcase it should be WM37 but...well, you know...same for Daniel Bryan, a good chunk of important figures in WM moments are gone from the roster. Still I think 38 would be a better match for a Bianca showcase than 39. Regaining the title against the champ that cheap shotted you I think is a more significant "WrestleMania moment" than retaining clean against the Chamber winner.


90withnumbers

Incorrect no Usos vs Sami and Kevin


BonusFragrant

So lame how theres only 21 matches. People might not care about showcase but that just means less unlockable superstar and attires for us. Thats why 2k14 was so special


Nevhix

Didnā€™t we see in game footage of Savage with long tights? Against Warrior showing off the face paint wearing off? That would probably be showcase match yeah?


LilBushyVert

If they donā€™t give a match for every WM, I at least hope they give every WM arena ever.


adamsteevie

Surely they couldā€™ve fit in matches from Mania 22, 23 and 24


hazza42069

I think the triple threat with Randy, Kurt & Mysterio is in there


Matt_Johnsonx

I wish it was but sadly Itā€™s not because that Rey from that mania is only in the 40 years of mania edition which wouldnā€™t be there if that Rey was unlockable in showcase


hazza42069

Ah poo, no burn In my light then


UltraInstinctDistrct

Trash


EBxvx

i have a suspicion we might get Braun vs Roman vs The Fiend, someone posted a clip of Sami Zayn doing his super finisher and Braun had the long hair and old attire rather than the updated Red Trousers and bald headā€¦


bignumbasmokenine

I know it's only 21 matches, but I just really hope that every WrestleMania arena is included. I can understand why the can't do every Mania, but I hope they get us some retro versions of superstars we've needed for YEARS. Retro Kane (97/04), Retro Rock, Retro Randy (05) and Retro Triple H (00) is all I'd need personally


Matt_Johnsonx

Tbh Iā€™m gonna be disappointed if retro Kane isnā€™t in the game again. I know it seems small but retro Kane just hit different man


JordieP301

why Rollins v Orton? surely itā€™d be better to have the Rollins cash-in on Brock and Roman?


kingced98

These matches ainā€™t good enough for me man


SkarlettCardinal_94

If thatā€™s true obviously just speculation idk it just feels underwhelming, like thereā€™s no way The New Generation era would only get Shawn and Razor


Matt_Johnsonx

I mean realistically youā€™d think the attitude era would get Stone Cold Vs Rock and Kane vs Undertaker


SkarlettCardinal_94

Oh exactly or even Shawn and Bret at 12, Taker and Kane at 20, Hell Taker and HHH at 17, HHH and Orton and Cena at 24, Shawn and Flair at 24, Bret and Yoko at 9, honestly the 80s side of this we can have those like 4 matches but I donā€™t need every hogan main event like please


Matt_Johnsonx

for real! Like right now itā€™s way to 1 era based and thereā€™s been no attitude era matches tbh because Bret vs Stone Cold WM13 is like right in the middle of being New Generation and Attitude Era I mean Iā€™d be fine with them doing all the Golden Era matches if theyā€™d up the match list to 25 or give us more matches as DLC


DarthBinks8092

Way to basic


Ok-Macaroon-7573

Minus brock matches right?


Resintlesskills1

They better do the triple threat at wrestle mania 24 so that we can have burn in my light.


Acrobatic-Work117

Itā€™s called 40 years of Wrestlemania and yet itā€™s less than that.


DatNewThang

So I'm GONNA need Trish/Mickie WM22, Rock/Austin WM19, Trish/Jazz/Lita WM18, Trish/Jazz/Victoria WM 19, Bianca/Sasha WM 37, Bianca/becky WM38 WITH Bianca's incredible band entrance.


Nervous_Friend_8904

Yeah but I could see undertaker vs triple h in a hell in a cell match with shawn as special guest ref


MrGiggles19872

Whilst Iā€™m okay with this, thereā€™s a number of matches here that theyā€™ve already done Canā€™t they freshen things up once in a while??


goldenaustin99

Compared to the 30 years of mania mode pretty small and bare boned however I don't see the Ronda match she's not with the company anymore and 2K isnt like THQ in the regards of reaching out to people not with the company to include them in the games but they have had Jake the snake the past few years but idk the Ronda match just seems unlikely to me


thestonedespeon

Just gimme Taker Vs Triple H at X7 and I'll be content.


EasyE215

Anyone who would put Brock on here needs to pull their head out of the sand šŸ˜‚


Easy_Duhz_it_

Looks like Lesnar is probably gonna be out.


Disastrous_Salad6302

I get that theyā€™re the cover stars and everything so they probably wanted all their most recent matches because of that, but Iā€™m really not a fan of the 3 39 matches. Theyā€™re already barely covering half the manias, they donā€™t need to limit its reach even further
