WWE 2K14 - 30 Years of WrestleMania Match Reveal (WrestleMania 1 - 9)

For the next five days (today included), Bleacher Report will be revealing every match by era, 46 of them in total. Today they reveal WrestleMania 1 through 9. Check out some of the new screenshots here.

I was hoping that Rick Rude vs. Warrior match made it in here.

Odd that they wouldn't have Savage vs. Warrior from WrestleMania VII. They could have just reused the old Savage DLC model from WWE '12.

Also: LOL at Hogan's legdrop. What the hell?

A few key things I noticed. One is a real letdown, it looks like no progression happens with the Ultimate Warrior during his matches i.e he doesn't lose any face paint off his face or chest, and his hair stays perfect the whole match, those are 2 key things with the Warrior that really sucks, all his matches that last more then 10 minutes he;d lose some face paint, and his hair always fell flat like HBK's would or anyone else.

Next thing is the Silverdome for Wrestlemania 3 looks great, I hate the stupid legends W logo around the ring, that does make it look a little cheesy as WWF back then never had any logos ringside, also it looks like for Wrestlemania 8 instead of adding the Hoosier Dome they used the Silverdome instead.

Yokozuna just in that one screen looks far too skinny and toned.

For the Wrestlemania 5 screen with the Savage and Hogan match, in the match Savage had I think lime green tights, so again small details missing. On top of that the Wrestlemania 4/5 arena looks off. Very unique setting, I wished they really had it spot on.

Might be asking for a bit much, but why cant they just get the little things right when doing modes like these.

And yes if thats the Hogan legdrop lol it looks HORRIBLE!! Just me or do they have Hogan & Warrior looking way too bulky, really wish they redone wrestler models, it seems like they are using the same Hogan model they used on the PS2, he just looks way too bulky and unrealistic.

I'm so conflicted. I want to buy this game but it doesn't make sense with it being so close to next gen release.

You mean cause you're going to trade in your ps3/360?

Looking forward to this.

They still haven't said if WM 6 will be playable without a pre-order. Pretty low if it's not but since Williams and Lesmda or whatever his name is are still around I wouldn't be suprised.

They've never had face paint wear off, so this shouldn't be a shocker. They have plenty of other things to work on. See Goldust.

And you should really take 5 minutes to do your research. A quick google search shows Savage wearing orange... just like in the screenshots. Where you came up with lime green, who knows.

In defense of the leg drop they have in the picture, if you watch some of Hogan's earlier WWF days, it's like he didn't know how to do a leg drop with his other leg, or he go to the side of the opponent he should have gone to. There are a couple in that video where he drops a leg right across a guy's face because he came in at the wrong angle or from the wrong side

That was, um...interesting.

The video gives them a nice 'out' for the poor leg drop if they ever choose to use it, but I think it's clear it's just a crappy animation that's been in the game for too long. With Hogan being the focal point of one-third of the big mode this year, I was hoping for a new leg drop.
