The pomp and circumstance of wrestling is half the fun of the event. The spectacle, the melodrama and of course, that long walk down to the ring.

Why do you even need to actually wrestle when there's so much charisma and energy built into the entrance videos? And that is one thing WWE 2K15 replicates very well. Yes, other games have been able to import each wrestler's trademark swagger, but it just looks better here. There is weight to everyone and a pace and sense of electricity. Things the guys over at 2K wanted to implement and have, more or less, successfully done so.
This week's Entrances showcase video highlights several popular guys from both WWE and NXT.

First up is Mark Henry, the big man. He is without flash, but that in and of itself, is flash. Even the digital version of the lumbering brute commands your attention. And all he does is walk down to the ring. No real grandstanding or swaggering. He just walks. That, my friends, is called charisma and it's the difference between The Rock and Kurt Angle.
The second man out of the gate (where are the Divas, by the way?) is Rob 'Not Jean Claude' Van Dam. The long time veteran of the industry - he debuted at ECW in 1996 - has gained the right to take his sweet ass time down to the ring.
Lastly we have Adrian Neville, who is by far the toughest guy to ever possess the name 'Adrian'. The current NXT champ has his moment to mosey on down to the ring, where he then pops his iconic hand signal and the crowd goes wild.
