Now I'm just praying for Terry Funk's punch combo (which shouldn't have been removed in the first place) and rolling cradle pin.

It's great that Hogan has his own rope run animation, but for some reason it doesn't trigger when he uses his leg drop finishers. What a strange oversight. Also, I really wanted to assign Bearhug 2 as somebody's combo ender, but it arbitrarily appears to be the only submission that can't be selected as one.

I was mocked for bringing this up on Reddit, but as someone who was looking forward to having him in a game for the first time in 20 years, I'm baffled as to how 2K messed up George Steele's tights so badly. They're incredibly simplistic, and he wore them in every single match he wrestled for a decade straight. He wore black trunks over his tights, so the lines shouldn't go all the way up The lines themselves should be thicker There should also be lines on the inside of his tights, not just the outside Did 2K not look at a single reference photo? I genuinely don't understand how something like this could happen.

Great Muta alone makes this the best DLC offering in the history of the series to me. I don't believe Muta is signed to a legends deal -- he doesn't have any WWE shirts, action figures, or trading cards -- so it would appear that 2K went out of their way to work out a deal with him for this directly. They haven't really done that since the days of 2K16/2K17 with the likes of Whipwreck and so on. I just hope that 2K really commits to making Muta feel like Muta, like in the King of Colosseum and Wrestle Kingdom games. He'll need a ton of unique animations.

Muta has such distinct body language that I'm hoping 2K really takes their time with his animations. His space rolling elbow (corner cartwheel), flashing elbow drop, and dragon screw all look so distinct that it would be easy for some random mocapper to mess them up.

Holy *censored*ing shit... Great Muta!

Yeah, there's a new running one and a new flurry combination, but we still don't have a simple standing version.

I pray that this is the year we finally get a basic bionic elbow strike. Macho Man, Hogan, Dusty, Terry Funk, Bubba Ray Dudley, and CM Punk all regularly use/used it.

Michelle McCool is my guess. She might've been scanned at the Rumble last year.

Every legend in the last five or so games has been signed to a WWE Legends contract, so I doubt we're getting Muta. 2K has either gotten too cheap to sign legends on their own or WWE has forbidden them to do so.

Are moves belonging to hidden wrestlers typically unlocked with them? It's been a few years since I've played a 2K game.

That list is missing some stuff from the original video that went private. "Snap Hotshot" is finally included for Macho Man, and there's a "Spinning Drop Toe Hold" that works well for '80s Hogan and Tiger Mask.

Macho Man's running hotshot is back!

The specific type of mic with a stand used in the teaser, yeah. That's a broadcast microphone.

He's a podcaster, football analyst, and WWE commentator, so I'd say the mic is a really good fit for him.
