    Or maybe I misunderstood what you meant in from the beginning.
    Like almostbobsaget said, these are non-DLC superstars.. these are the "on the disc" superstars. This screen shot is showing us that there's potentially 8 more superstars on the disc from release than there was last year.

    This year, not including DLC and Pre-orders, there's 32 non-current superstars on the roster.

    That leaves us 60 current-roster superstars, with 17 of them already being announced. There's currently 63 superstars (including ones that we never see like JTG, Yoshi etc) and 12 divas (that actually wrestle) listed on WWE.com.

    I'm thinking wires got crossed somewhere.

      The Regal match isn't beating out Austin/Hall, Rock/Hogan, Flair/Taker & HHH/Jericho to get a spot from WM 18.

      Plus the MITB match would require Finlay, Matt Hardy, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin to be in the game.
      Throwing this out there, but it would be stupid of WWE to not have some kind of MITB match at Mania. And since Benoit's involved in the first, there's really only a few picks, and if you are going 'retro' I'd go with that one over all the others. And throwing this out there... if we're going with that type of ear of releases, all four of those would probably jump at the chance to be on the game.

      It's not a great chance, but it's the best shot RVD has besides the Regal vs RVD match, which I think would be in there anyway, even with the possible matches. Why? Cause you can do more then one match at a ppv.

        This. It's a demo version. Anyone who thinks you only get like 8 wrestlers when you start the game must think it is 1983.

          2 things with this though, the WM mode roster was released and none of those 6 guys were listed.

          The other is sure there will be more than one match from some of the Wrestlemanias. But, would you really expect them to put RVD/Regal in over any of the other matches I listed from WM 18?

          I may end up being wrong but I think if you're expecting RVD to be in this game in any way other than DLC you're setting yourself up to be disappointed.

            If you actually read the thread, once again, NO ONE said there was only going to be 8 wrestlers.

            If you read the thread, you can clearly see that it's stated that there are 92 non-DLC/manager/customer superstar slots.

            If you read the thread, you'll see that it has been stated that there are going to be more superstars this year than there was last year.

            I'm sure you see a pattern.

            Read the thread.

              Considering the fact that Yukes is going to use a few people repeatedly over and over again to fill up spots, not really. But, is it far to say that DLC can't include added matches to the WM mode under their own section?

              And I'm expecting him to be DLC, I just think he has a complete complete long shot to be in the game on a normal roster basis. And, WWE games have had surprises before, so it isn't like he has completely no shot. Plus, they already have his old models, which really wouldn't take much tweaking to add him over a lot of people.

              If they wanted to throw together a current model to have in the game at launch, they very well could have.

                To back up part of your statement, it's absolutely fair to say it's possible to include a DLC in the "30 Years of Wrestlemania Mode", it's already happening this year with the Ultimate Warrior.

                The problem is, RVD doesn't have a lot of matches that deserve (or can be in the game due to other participants) to be in over other matches.

                Wrestlemania X8
                Triple H vs Chris Jericho
                The Rock vs Hollywood Hulk Hogan
                Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Scott Hall

                Wrestlemania XX
                The Undertaker vs Kane
                Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar
                Evolution vs Rock 'n' Sock Connection

                Plus, this would require 6 other wrestlers who would either be a legitimate waste of a roster spot in Garrison Cade, Mark Jindrak, Rene Dupree and Rob Conway, or that are in contractal agreements with another promotion in the Dudley Boyz.

                Wrestlemania 22
                John Cena vs Triple H

                This was his best chance to get in, but this would have required them to get Shelton Benjamin, Matt Hardy and Bobby Lashley.

                Wrestlemania 23
                John Cena vs Shawn Michaels
                The Undertaker vs Batista

                  I'd say that Matt Hardy and Shelton Benjamin would both be plausible additions DLC wise, especially considering their work in the indies wouldn't really stop them from this sort of thing, or at least I wouldn't think so. Lashley I'm not too sure on at the moment.

                    They aren't going to add Matt without Jeff. I'm saying for the matches they could have, and the amount of current superstars they can have on the roster, those types of superstars aren't worth a spot on the day-one roster.

                    I would love for them to be there, but they aren't worth it whenever there are bigger matches to put in the mode.

                      I just find it weird for the Mania mode to not have some kind of MITB on it.

                        Could they just use RVD's model from a couple of years ago? That way he could be a last-minute inclusion reasonably easily. Same goes for Axel and possibly even Bray Wyatt in an extreme case (just add a beard and longer hair).

                          I might be mistaken, but I think they could for Axel and Wyatt but I think they switched engines in 2010 so the RVD model might not import.

                            I'm sure they could, but than you'll have a bunch of people crying about how those particular superstars are "out of date" and "it's not worth buying if they don't care about what the wrestlers look like".

                              Right, didn't know that.

                              All Axel would need are some new tights. The Wyatt model could be a bit of a fudge but at least he could be there in some shape or form.
