This would be interesting and a huge change from recent years where part timers and old timers have been on the cover. Maybe a change to really focusing on the future.

I really hope they don't change to focus on the future. A ton of sales come from those that only remember the past time. That's what makes me keep buying the games.

I won't touch it unless it includes things from the past. I think they can focus on both as they have been doing.

Seth Rollins is one of my favorites, so I'm happy he's the cover guy this year. That being said, I'm happy in general to see them using a current guy.

I know a lot of people enjoy the former stars getting the cover, but I'm not one of them. I like to see current guys get their time in the spotlight, and in this case, it's very well deserved! I'm looking forward to seeing some footage of the game at some point.

While I see your point, and I'm a fan of some of the older stuff they put in as well, that'd be extremely short-sided of them to do moving forward. For every fan of the Attitude era or any era prior, there's at least (total speculation) one fan of the current era buying these games. Does a mode highlighting the best of Hulk Hogan's career do anything for a 12 year old?

Unfortunately for WWE, professional wrestling in general doesn't really do anything for a 12 year old. The average age of the WWE viewer is now into their 40s. In 1997, it used to be 23. It's a pretty radical demographic shift.
