WWE2K18 Roster Discussion Thread

[TheEggman]

I am a little sad about Vince....has he missed a game yet?

[JokerVenom]

 

Is Masked Kane from the attitude era in the game?

yes

There is an alt model video in the screenshot thread here that confirms we are getting 98 Kane.

 

 

Great stuff, cheers lads.

[Willows Way]

 

 

Is it possible for someone to post the whole roster now that all is revealed? (Not counting dlc of course)

Ah cool thank you

[VanillaSlice]

No Hardy Boy or Dudleys

Honesty surprise Christian in

 

...why?

[burb]

sucks about Blake and Murphy

 

i noticed when they announced HBK, his render was 2010 HBK. so hopefully that's the Shawn we get.

They did the same thing last year, actually, and it still ended up being mid-late 90's HBK.

Timschel said no surprises, if they weren't announced in the reveal then they're not on disc.

Still say it's not outside the realm of possibility. He probably just didn't want people speculating about really big names that may or may not be in. Gulak probably would go completely unnoticed if I hadn't brought him up. I mean...look, I'm not grasping at straws, or saying that I think they are doing this angle where he announces himself. I'm just saying...I don't cut out the possibility entirely just based on what timschel said. I still think it's possible. If nothing comes in a week or two, then I'll be convinced.

 

It is entirely outside the realm of possibility, and what you're doing is a textbook example of grasping for straws.

 

Its surprising that the like only new legend is Rick Martel.

He also barely even counts as new, seeing as how he's cut DLC from 2K17 (from Stan Hansen's scrapped HOF Showcase match).

So in the reveals, there were a handful of legends and even current guys like R-Truth that had different themes. Did their songs not make it in for some reason? Are they just going with CFO$ songs or what?

Considering he not in the company but also not what I would consider a legend

Yeah I noticed that too...it's a bit worrying for a few of them, like I can't imagine not having Man With A Plan for Kendrick

[eastcoastkody]

i for one am happy they keep putting Christian & Tyson kidd in the game....even tho they kinda soft retired....and they could totally get away without putting them in every year like they have been doing.

 

very respectful. and appreciated

[Mango kid]

Well Tyson is the least they can do

[T-Hell]

I think it's because they are licensed songs unrelated to WWE. I've noticed that on Ric Flair, Edge and a few more. Although they played Gallagher's theme which is based on a classic track piece so go figure..

Based on, yes, but CFO$ still made that theme. Same reason why Charlotte's theme could be played but not Ric's. I'm guessing that IGN couldn't get the licenses for non-WWE produced songs.

Still waiting for confirmation on Gulak...but, he's gotta be a sure thing at this point.

I really hope he makes it, he and Nese are huge highlights of the show for me, and it makes sense why they were left out as they've recently tweaked their gimmicks. Mustafa is pretty baffling too as he's been as prominently featured as Gallagher, too, but knowing how widely inclusive 2K has been compared to THQ, I'd be really surprised if the missing guys aren't lumped in. I'd imagine Arab fans would take to Ariya and Mustafa as additional characters, at the very least.

[Mango kid]

Aren't all the cruiserweights that are featured have been featured on Raw all the time

Well luckily you don't make those decisions.

[Mango kid]

Honesty if I I made the decision I will get rid of Christian and put in road dogg just so I can have his entrance theme and entrance and maybe the New Age Outlaws entrance

[bonded_by_bud]

as someone who mainly just plays with current roster. I'm happy. Im confident Hardyz, Elias and Ellsworth will make the DLC.

 

So we will almost have everybody on the RAW/SD rosters. Minus Lana, Mike Bennet & shelton. They always give us at least 1 woman in DLC. So hopefully Lana makes it.

 

I also want Almas as DLC.

 

Its surprising that the like only new legend is Rick Martel. Considering people like Umaga, Ken Shamrock, D'Lo Brown, Boogeyman, Magnum TA, Superstar Billy Graham, Dean Malenko & Nasty Boys all have Legends contracts

 

Its good to see how many 205 Live ppl made it. The only glaring omission to me is Tony Nese. And if he's not DLC...i wouldn't be bothered.

 

I'd freak out if Malenko made it in as a legend. WCW classic Iceman and his Double Ho Seven versions would be amazing. Out of all the names you listed I'm shocked he hasn't been included at least once. I was also unaware The Nastys had legend contracts, would be spectacular to see them join the fray.

 

[Jmerc]

Hang on a second, this totally went over my head... no HoHo Lun?!?!

 

WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT?

First off, let the "slots" belief die in a fire where it belongs. Secondly, i'll say it as well, thank Jesus H Christ on a pogostick that you don't make those calls.

You mean WWE's former resident Asian Babysitter? I laughed so hard when I read his comments on his WWE run. Poor guy.

[J-man89]

No Way Jose being in over Almas is ridiculous, if he's DLC i'm all good but if he's not i don't get why he would make it in but not Almas, didn't Almas debut before Jose?

[EJ!]

Almas apparently didn't want to be in

[maskedmaniac]

Almas apparently didn't want to be in

 

Nah, I just can't believe that, even if he actually said it himself it's BS. He must be in the witness protection program because between NXT and (not) appearing in WWE2K18 it guarantees he is never seen.

[King Tha Row]

Yeah I doubt Almas even has the pull to deny being in the game. It'll be bullshit if we have to pay for him. Considering he debuted around the same time as A.O.P. I can't pass up playing as him though so I'll pay regardless.
