If Mike Tyson's appearance at WrestleMania IV still blows your mind, if you still own a T-shirt that has a blue brahama bull logo embedded on the chest, if a Stone Cold Stunner still brings awe and childlike amusement to your face, then the WWE and THQ's announcement about WWE '13 is going to bring tears to your eyes.
THQ announced at WWE SummerSlam Axxes that WWE '13 contains 42 Modern Era Superstars, 8 WWE Divas, 34 Attitude Era Superstars & Divas and extra downloadable content characters like Mike Tyson.
The Rock says, I mean THQ says the game will contain more-than 87 larger-than-life WWE superstars in total. This mean WWE '13 will have the biggest rosters of stars in any wrestling game in history. Plus with other wrestlers available through downloadable content, I am sure gamers will be able to recreate their very own classic rivalries' montages. I only wish THQ added a 80s and early 90s era wrestlers to the already stacked roster. I want an Andre the Giant versus Big Show cage match.
However, a few modern wrestlers are missing in action like Hart Dungeon graduate Tyson Kidd. Also missing are Tensai, William Regal and Curt Hawkins. On the ladies side there is no Rosa Mendes or Layla.
Missing from the Attitude Era include Steve Blackman, Psycho Sid, Rikishi, Diamond Dallas Page, Gangrel, Viscera and Val Venis. So yeah that suck the Big Valbowski. Olympian Kurt Angle is not in the game but seeing how he has a TNA contract that is not a big surprise.
According to the game's site, the Attitude Era Mode gives players the chance to receive over 20 exclusive video packages detailing the Attitude Era. Plus gamers get all of the old school entrances, arenas and television graphics from the era.
