When it announced a special campaign mode this week, WWE 2K14 hinted the game’s roster would be the largest ever by virtue of the fact more than 45 classic bouts would be featured in “30 Years of Wrestlemania.” The question was how many wrestlers would be making repeat appearances to fill out that card.
Ten wrestlers have dual appearances (the same star in a different skin or persona) out of a list of 43, meaning there are 33 different guys in all. This is just for 30 Years of Wrestlemania. If it’s any guide, last year’s current-era roster of WWE ’13 featured 50 performers, plus 35 in the Attitude Era mode.
The complete list of performers is below. Of note: The roster that leaked yesterday didn’t have Big John Studd on it. Also, Ultimate Warrior is listed; he also is a pre-order premium for the game. So the good news is he can be played for free but it probably means you have to unlock him, and the rest of these superstars before using them in the game.
