Classic Hunter Hurst Hemsley entrance attire looked more like that thing Zeus wore in No Holds Barred than an actual robe.

If Foley's 4 characters are called the "Four Faces of Foley" then what would Triple H's 3 characters be called, the "Three H's of Triple H"?

The Great Khali then has to get Sin Cara and Road Dogg to help him go back in time and stop Sandow from completely destroying the WWE Universe. This of course will lead to Vince McMahon and Shane McMahon being stuck in alternate time periods. Vince McMahon is stuck in the future and Shane is forced to run the WWF in 1999. The Great Khali decides to take the ultimate risk and join the WWF roster in 1999. He decides to run over Stone Cold Steve Austin at Survivor Series and go on to dominate the WWF from 2000 onward. Sin Cara and Road Dogg have to decide what to do about Khali's greed potentially destroying the space-time continuum. Sin Cara and Road Dogg also find out that have to find the cure for an unknown disease given to them after a huge orgy with Lita and Vader. Can they rebuild the time machine and stop Khali from succumbing to his greed? Can the duo stop Damien Sandow from ruining Road Dogg's career? Can they find a way to pee without that burning sensation? Play WWE '13 to find out.
Meanwhile, as a consequence for messing with the fabric of time, WCW never goes out of business. Zack Ryder becomes the WCW Champion after defeating Brock Lesnar in a MMA brawl and is scheduled to face Ken Shamrock and Ricardo Rodriguez in a triple threat match at Halloween Havoc. Also scheduled is Brodus Clay vs Hunico in a Inferno Match, Daniel Bryan challenging Rocky Maivia (who never became the Rock and instead tries to stay relevant by becoming the rapper instead of Cena) to a match, The John (Cena) defending the Intercontinental Championship against Cobalt (Cody Rhodes doing a poor Goldust parody), X-Pac facing Kharma and finally, AJ and Trish Stratus performing live sex for the audience.

They should make a Monday Night Wars spin-off game. Have all the attitude era wwf guys and all the wcw guys they can get, and just have as many of the arenas from that era that they can fit.

Maybe even have a transfer option for current stars, similar to what they did with Legends of Wrestlemania.

THAT shit I would buy in a heartbeat. As it stands, I'm pretty indifferent to all this. Will be cool to play as shamrock again, and see all the old arenas on current gen consoles, but that's about all that gets me excited.

Yeah, it just s're playing the "safe bet" and pushing the limits of current-gen technology for now and holding off doing anything too crazy until they have an idea of what next-gen's will be able to do and then maybe they'll go all out. Or something.

I'm genuinely going to make a series of storylines where Zack Ryder stumbles upon a wormhole and travels to an alternate timeline where he is in the Attitude Era and gets into all kinds of trouble he has to solve.

As much as I like the roster but do we really need THREE Triple H's? They'll probably have the same moveset but with slightly different taunts. I am eagar to see how Attitude Era mode will turn out (it sounds interesting) but I hope that THQ give us some news about WWE Universe 3.0

I love to imagine a potential WCW roster in a spinoff game. Even if you have to forego TNA guys like Sting, Chavo, Hogan, and Bischoff as the token authority figure, you can still have a really good roster. Hell they could even duplicate guys again and it would make perfect sense in some instances.

Reliving the cruiserweight division would be fun. WCW versions of Jericho, Rey, and Eddie. Malenko and Kidman already are employed by WWE. Then sign up a couple luchadors like La Parka and Psychosis or something. Also ULTIMO DRAGON.

My only problem with this roster is that I don't see any reason they couldn't do what they did with Cody Rhodes in '12.

Why do HHH, Foley, Lita, Taker, Henry, etc, take up multiple roster spots, when they could take up one, and half different models with different entrances, etc. No Attitude Era wrestler is going to differ drastically from his current version.

IT sucks me in every year, after a month or so of playing the game I say to myself, "I'll leave it a few months next year". But then they always do something to make me want it pretty badly...

Because duplicates take up roughly a third of the roster this year. If they condensed them all into one spot, they wouldn't be able to use the selling point of it being the largest playable roster to date.

It's a marketing ploy basically.

How large is the roster normally for a WWE games, 50s to 60s or less?

This year its in the high 80s and could reach into the 90s depending on DLC plans.

I think last year's game shipped with 70 playable characters out of box. So the duplicates are the only reason this year's roster appears to have a lot more.

But it's THQ. They never said it'd be the largest unique playable roster to date, just the largest playable. Hardly the first time they've manipulated the wording.

Still not as bad as that one year when they hyped 75 characters and then it turned out that they meant it literally. 75 characters - like 55 playable ones along with 20 NPCs.

Oh, I know it's a marketing ploy, I get that. And it'll matter less if they up the CAW limit this year, which I feel like they are, but I can't remember hearing a definite yes or no yet.

With that said, it may be utterly pointless if they don't fix the stupid online servers.

My thought process is basically I'd rather have guys I'll rarely ever use, like the Uso's, versus guys I'll rarely ever use, like Lita v.2 or Young Edge. Mainly because while I won't use either one as much, the current guys will at least force them to put more new moves in the game.

Still not as bad as that one year when they hyped 75 characters and then it turned out that they meant it literally. 75 characters - like 55 playable ones along with 20 NPCs.
you're probably thinking about Smackdown vs RAW 2008

I'm trying to figure out why they didn't milk the attitude thing by making it a completely separate game...

Because that would be wasteful, even for an annual franchise game.

Two shit games that weren't the 'sim' style people would really want in an Attitude Era game. Ideally you'd want a game with today's hi-res production values and attention to detail, but with the roster of yesteryear. That would be admirable, but I don't see that happening ever. WWE 13's main hook is the closest you'll get.

After seeing the roster I may end up passing on this game ugh instead of getting one deep roster we get two shallower ones instead I was expecting a little more diversity on the Attitude side especially. To me this screams that THQ lacked the confidence to release a seperate game so they crammed everything into this one hoping it would sell more copies. Honestly I wouldn't be suprised if it backfired and loses them rights especially seeing a WWE's target audience right now is barely even old enought to remember the Era.

In all honesty, the roster isn't going to ultimately kill the game. What's going to kill it is if it winds up being a rehash of last year, with nothing that was promised. They promised a revamp of the controls, which I have no issue with...That and I still haven't gotten the WWE12 controls down. Various other improvements, but there's gonna be things left alone so people are still gonna cry.

The biggest issue I see with the roster is the 3 Triple H's and the other multiples of wrestlers. That and missing some names.

If there being 3 distinct incarnations of Triple H is that offensive to you, then I hope your XBox gets AIDS and dies.

Triple H happens to be one of my top favs and I don't necessarily hate that there's 3 incarnations. I just hate to think that two possible wrestlers were left out because of this. I mean, they include Shamrock but leave out Blackman. The 3 Foley's could have been combined as Alternate Attires, thus leaving even more room. It's just the little things they're not doing that irks me.

I rather like the idea because now I can create a storyline where the three HHH's all come from different eras in time and converge into current WWE where they must all fight to the death until only one HHH reigns supreme. Kind of like Jet Li's "The One" or "Highlander."

I don't mind it because I remember how annoying it was one year when "Ministry Taker" was just an Alt Attire of Biker Taker and he had the same moves/etc. Ministry Taker never did the Last Ride Powerbomb or that thumbs down Tombstone.

I was thinking teaming the three Triple H's up, kind of a "Paul Levesque World Order" type thing. All of a sudden, one of them wins the World Title and they start squabbling over it.
