Players wishing to dispense with the pleasantries and formalities of wrestling have found their muse: Mark Henry and his infamous Hall of Pain run of intimidation has entered the ring as WWE 2K15's latest Showcase mode, and nobody is walking out in one piece.
That's A Whole Lot Of Amiibo You've Sold There, Nintendo
Inspired by the series of legendary bouts from 2011 to 2013 by strongest man alive Mark Henry, a then 15 years veteran of professional wrestling, players will recreate eight of the bone-shaking, ring-breaking matches that accompanied Henry on his way to a WWE World Heavyweight Title.
I'm not joking when I say 'ring-breaking', that's not some hyperbole. In a match with Big Show, the two literally broke the ring. Whether by design or if it was just a case of nearly a thousand pounds of humanity raining down on the ring, we'll never know, but how cool is that? You don't even have to like wrestling to appreciate that.

Additional playable WWE Superstars include Big Show, Kane, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Sheamus, The Great Khali, Randy Orton, Daniel Bryan and Ryback; all of whom trembled before the might of Henry. Why any of them even got into the ring in the first place is beyond me.
Players will also get access to the following new arenas: SmackDown (2011), Vengeance (2011) and WrestleMania 29.
The Hall of Pain Showcase pack is available to download for $9.99 or as part of the WWE 2K15 Season Pass program. Watch the trailer below, and be intimidated.
