Seriously though, my thoughts on the roster are pretty much the same as it was when it was first leaked. The current roster is fine. But the Attitude Era one is just meh to me. Just way too many duplicates. Ledesma says that the Attitude Era versions of guys will have their own unique movesets and entrances.
Entrances, sure. But movesets? I doubt it. What's really going to be different? 1999 Big Show won't have a knockout punch. 1999 Jericho won't have a Codebreaker. 1999 Undertaker won't have the Hell's Gate or Last Ride. Hunter Hearst Helmsley will have different taunts than his other HHH counterparts. That's about it.
All in all it's really not a whole lot different than there being 2 Cody Rhodes' last year. But by making them their own roster spots they can artificially tout the largest roster to date. Same thing really with JBL, thuganomics Cena, and modern Edge/Lita. They'll have a different entrance and theme, that's about it. The only "surprise" was Laurinaitis getting in and I assumed he'd always get in as a NPC for Story Creator mode.
In the end, it all comes down to gameplay and I got bored of the last few games very quickly. Not a day 1 buy for me. I'll rent first and see how it goes.
