There are 46 matches in total, and none of these are really a surprise based on the roster that had been previously announced. There were only a specific set of matches 2K could use in this scenario, and they seem to have included them all. It is a bit odd to not see Austin vs. Shawn Michaels from WrestleMania 14, even though it was included in last year's game, but maybe they lost the rights to Mike Tyson or something like that.

Also, it's interesting that they didn't include more current wrestlers, as people like Daniel Bryan and Sheamus seem like natural fits for some matches later on in WrestleMania history. My only guess is that the devs wanted to go with a specific set of wrestler that were emblematic of the particular events, and adding too many new faces would create an imbalance, where the early matches would seem to be outnumbered by the new guys.

They've done a bang-up job with the costuming, as seen in the picture above. I love that they've got the specific gear, managers and trappings for all of these special matches and angles, and it helps scratch the nostalgia itch even more. I hope that the video packages and commentary will be enhanced the way it was for the Attitude Era mode last year, as that added a whole lot of atmosphere to the mode. It was a neat trick how they weaved in actual play-by-play and new audio to create a "version" of your memory of the matches.

Personally, I'm looking forward to the Savage vs. Steamboat encounter, as it will be interesting to see how the game handles a technical match in the historical context. Also, it'll be cool to see how Yokozuna is implemented into the game, especially since last year's version started to get a little better about differentiating between height and weight between wrestlers. The Rock vs. Austin at WMX7 should be fun to see virtual Vince jumping around during the chair shots, and Goldberg vs. Lesnar will be a fun spectacle as well. For the universe era, it'll be fun to see some of the 'Taker streak matches as well as the Cena vs. Rock showdowns. Lots of great high-spots and spectacle there. This mode is still looking like a really fun time, whichever match you choose. Hopefully they'll have more "bonus" matches in the mode, but it's hard to tell at this point.

Either way, it's not long until WWE 2K14 releases, and we'll have more coverage of the game up until launch day and beyond.

Wish they showcased the TLC match with Edge&Christian ,The Hardys and the Dudleys ..or tag matches,or Eddie G vs Kurt Angle

# 2 ffaacc03 @ Sep 20

Yeah, huge misses there, specially Eddie, thus given his friendship with Benoit and how both were afterwards on the ring celebrating, but shouldnt have been pennalized ...

Also a few more inconic enounters are missing and even fewer that make it wouldn have ade my personal list, anyways, as hype as I am with WWE 2k14, am looking forward to WWE 2k15 next gen.

# 3 DJ @ Sep 20

That's a big list. Wish Warrior-Savage from WM VII would've been included, but without Sherri, that match is a little difficult to pull off.

Like you said Glenn, I hope the video packages are on point. Should be a fun mode and I really enjoyed Attitude Era in WWE 13.

# 4 Bolt957 @ Sep 21

Wish they had the 1st MITB match at WrestleMania 21.

# 5 Gramps91 @ Sep 21

I can't believe that didn't put HBK and Taker at WM25, smh.

# 6 nml11287 @ Sep 21

They really couldn't put the TLC matches in there due to Jeff Hardy and Bully Ray being in TNA and Matt Hardy in ROH. Also couldn't have Eddie's WMXX match because Kurt Angle is in TNA. It's all contractual stuff.

# 7 nml11287 @ Sep 21

Also lol at 9 John Cena matches...that's gonna be painful to play.

# 8 lynkraid @ Sep 21

I just hope they add in extra matches. Shame they wont be older matches from the 80s and 90s, instead I'm betting any extra matches will end up being Sheamus vs HHH or Sheamus vs Bryan kind of extras.

Would of liked these guys to of been added though: Lex Luger, Jake Roberts, Mr. Perfect, Crush, Doink, and maybe Bob Backlund.

Adding those 6 wrestlers would of allowed for these matches:
Crush vs Doink WM9 (very unique match)
Crush vs Randy Savage WM10 (another entertaining match)
Jake Roberts vs Ted Dibiase WM6
Jake Roberts vs Undertaker WM8
Bob Backlund vs Razor Ramon WM9
Bob Backlund vs Bret Hart WM11 (could of been a fun I Quit match)
Mr. Perfect vs Lex Luger WM9 (another fun match)
Lex Luger vs Yokozuna WM10
Jake Roberts vs Andre the Giant WM5 (with Studd as the ref)

Least I think those are all the matches those 6 could of added, thats 9 matches, and 9 meaningful matches. Only maybe Backlund vs Ramon would be considered a meaningless match.

# 9 LegendKilla13 @ Sep 22

cant beleive they dont have warrior vs savage WM7. unbeleivable really

# 10 DamnYanks2 @ Sep 23

Would have really liked to see the Hardy Boyz and the Dudley Boys thrown in there somewhere. Those ladder matches and table matches were freaking awesome back in the day.
