[@krock90]

This feels more like a _what superstars we want to see in WWE 2K19_ list. Who the hell expects Kairi Sane to be added to WWE 2K18 when the tournament was so close to the game's release date? There are a lot of more deserving names that should be on the list and in the game like Andrade Cien Almas, Tino Sabbatelli, the rest of the 205 roster, Blake & Murphy...

[@DaveTugwell]

blake and murphy haven't been used in forever and sabbatelli is not used much

[@ryansinclair1650]

Krock Alma's didn't want to be in the game

[@RojoCube]

Krock the game has been finished for over 4 months. She and Adam Cole and the others were never gonna make it. I am surprised drew mcintyre made it as dlc

[@lucifersjurisdiction3636]

SonicBooom96 why? McIntyre returned at the same time the Hardy Boyz did.

[@DaveTugwell]

where are people getting the idea he didn't wanna be in?

[@deadpoolmlp5810]

Ah yes, Ben. One of the few hosts of the channel people still mostly like.

[@codyeveryday5432]

Adams aren't in wwe 2k18 and thats a problem

[@5secsofhood158]

Isaiah Pez Braun is also an Adam

[@InformationMonkey]

WhatCulture 2K18

[@GeoffDaCow]

CAWS

[@AnthonyIvon]

Cody Every Day you lazy , get him from community creation

[@simonbuttinger8978]

Infomonkey Than the adams wouldn' t be in the game because they are no longer in the team of whatculture.

[@wesleyaustin630]

Bless these guys for trying so hard to keep this channel going

[@maltinio6307]

I like Ben Potter

[@10rnation]

You forgot Rey my stereo

[@megand2781]

10rnation he in the game

[@judahdelrio3650]

Megan Dhanoolal no he's not

[@Jorge-kd7ww]

r/ihadastroke

[@elyonkunda6772]

I wish they had a throwback edge and christian. Christian'99 and Christian'01 (At last), Edge'99, Edge'01, and Rated RKO edge.

[@AgmMarquez17]

Elyon Kunda If they had those, Matt Hardy 01, Jeff Hardy 01, and the Dudley boyz 01

[@thegreatSalu]

A lot of cruiserweights are missing from the game as well: Lince Dorado Tony Nese Mustafa Ali etc

[@sliceybeachboy2662]

Andrade Cien Almas

[@epic-cm5ym]

He asked not to be in the game

[@TheFEARSlayer01]

epic 1237 how do you know this?

[@DemonArshan]

he did tweet he don't want to part of the Trash game ...

[@MegaChango12345]

epic 1237 Everyone keeps saying that but there is no direct source

[@TheFEARSlayer01]

MegaChango12345 that's exactly what I'm thinking

[@TheNaturalPatHarris]

#1 Oney Lorcan

[@RyboltTech]

This guy knows what's up!

[@davidcoon1694]

Quite fucking right! Underused and underrated

I love how everyone's hating on Whatculture now but they haven't lost any subscribers

[@BigFella2769]

Still unsure of why Lars Sullivan made the DLC cut instead of Velveteen Dream or the Kanellis’. Oh well.

[@dey6942]

SomeRandomDoctor velveteen dream would've been awesome along with leo rush but I understand why leo didn't make the cut

[@ryanklimaszewski2132]

Plus, who's going to play as lars Sullivan?

[@playboytod_8359]

SomeRandomDoctor hes getting a push

[@xassault100]

Almas not being in the game is more even more shocking.

[@castielchieng7475]

Vince loves big sweaty men

[@MrFree2BeMe1]

Paige can make it but we can't get Chyna in the game as one of the Legends, logic is so messed up ! yes i know Paige is part of the roster, but they will tell you we can't have Chyna because what if the kids google her, you can find the same dirt on paige also!

[@beatingstuff88]

Paige's stuff wasnt supposed to leak, chyna did it out of her own will and triple h hates her, so stop whining

[@erictapia1772]

MrFree2BeMe1 chyna cuz of triple h and Stephanie

[@030626GD]

MrFree2BeMe1 i think its because trips had an affair with steph and when she went to talk to vince about it...and he fired her

[@bigg4412]

MrFree2BeMe1 WWE is very touchy with people that have recently passed. Anyway, Paige is coming soon and has been very important in recent years, like becoming the first women's NXT champion

[@bryzaruiz5183]

Well said 👏🏽

[@kingshyt4077]

I want Yokozuna

[@ArkhamKratos]

#PushBenjaminforTitleMatch

[@pinroshan020]

TheShadowGamer he's an enhancement talent now i believe.

[@hotdogs4619]

him n Gable should fued with New Day imo.

[@8MKWeb8]

I'm glad we still got Ben and Simon, keep it up lads

[@Kskillz2]

I'm going to smack every employee in head for giving us a whack ass DLC roster this year

[@dey6942]

K skillz2 why

[@s1ickst3r59]

Deyvion Nichols *Smacks head* Here's why!

[@oathkeeper65]

But... I do truly like James ellsworth...

[@emkgameming5479]

oathkeeper65 iiiuii

[@steveislol7251]

Same

[@westsidethought]

oathkeeper65 no you dont

[@oathkeeper65]

Rocky I’m sorry Rocky. I know you’ve done some big things, but I’m afraid telepathy is not your strong suit. You see, your attempt to read into my statement is faulty, as I do in fact enjoy James Ellsworth. Always have, always will.

[@oathkeeper65]

KingOfTFL I’m sorry your grace. But you seem to have made a mistake. I am not a cigarette. I am a human being. I know from that high throne of yours it can be hard to see the little people sometime, but you shouldn’t make assumptions from that high seat of yours. I hope you have a wonderful day your grace.

[@MikeHowardElectrivire]

Also CM Punk obviosly, Road Warriors, Roddy Piper, Jimmy Snuka, Yokozuna, Big John Studd, King Kong Bundy, Rey Mysterio, Steiners, Terry Funk, 2007 Shawn Michaels, 2007 Undertaker, 2001 Kane and more

[@benjaminmichael2590]

They need to put Hulk Hogan the Road Warriors and Bruno Sammartino back in the game

[@TheReelMJ]

2K19 better have Lio Rush

[@MrBlkthndr]

theworldofmilton he's probably going to be dlc in 2k19

[@zanon__]

So wait, CM Punk will be part of the roster? O.O

[@bumfrogzz2703]

When you said PETE DUNNE I flipped my keyboard!

[@Blackirish619]

No love for Rey Mysterio?!

[@em.4774]

Of course number 1 had to be english wrestlers. Thats so whatculture lol. But still they should be in the game. Mabye dlc

[@GeminiJayKA]

Eric M They aren't signed so they're not gonna be in the game.

[@elvisledesma9681]

All the dlc was already announced

[@Arnone10]

One holds the current WWE United Kingdom Championship. So yeah that's pretty stupid that a champion and the rest are out.

[@rhcp_adri]

Lars Sullivan being in the game is the most bs ever, why they wanna put the most boring no charisma 3 moves wrestler, when they could put Andrade 'Cien' Almas i will never understand

[@mandatorymist7792]

Almas said that he didn't want to be in wwe 2k18 (for some reason). Plus, i like the inclusion of Sullivan

[@MegaChango12345]

MandatoryMist77 Source??

[@naointeressaqueme2683]

Brasileiro q curte wwe, tamo junto

[@RahulPlaysYouTube]

You realise Sam's not editing anymore when you see the thumbnail with WWE2K17 background instead of 18

[@HighHeelKnight]

This video might be the only time James Elssworth is considered among the "Biggest Superstars" in the WWE, both literally and figuratively. LOL

[@cameleonfreak574]

Its a shame that James isnt in game! Hes one of the best in what hes doing!

[@telepathiccupcakes20]

CameleonFreak An y

[@rogersampeur7033]

He is in game

[@plebastian2300]

I'm really disappointed that Blake and Murphy aren't in WWE 2k18

[@MrBlkthndr]

Plebastian they're basically starting back to square 1 since they disbanded as a team and now have new gimmicks just not on the tapings for the time being maybe next year but 2k is slacking with DLC though.

[@Dill3rd]

I love Murphy and Blake is great too

[@lucifersjurisdiction3636]

Plebastian why are you disappointed? I bet if they were in the game you'd never play as them anyway

[@MrBlkthndr]

AerykBaconVEVO idk I mean they got different gimmicks and Blake only wrestled with the new gimmick once against Drew McIntyre back May '17 and Murphy hasn't been seen on the network tapings at all but they are doing live events so they are not even dlc

[@str8ang3r70]

CrazyGamer351 very true

[@nickbaer2277]

Awesome video

[@adamsramek]

This guy will never get over like Adam or Adam.. And hey, it's not RedDragon but freaking ReDRagon!!!

[@djmills223]

I miss plumpy 😔😔😔

[@jacobangeles5539]

Who?

[@mattlively1004]

Dj Mills he's...gone for good...no matter what on youtube

[@mwf5659]

We want Adam

[@bigbosssteph1291]

MWF he's gone forever

[@joesabina8402]

Owent Hart, Undisputed Era, Dunne, Bate need to be in the game.

[@logankerr8090]

seriously where the hell is Shelton? haven't seen him&Gable on SD in a couple weeks

[@HazwanshahBaybay]

Forgetting Chris Benoit

[@BirdyGurdy]

Incoming dislikes.

[@Elias6233]

BirdyGurdy Really original

[@angelomarasigan4347]

Wrong video. Dislikes for Simon only.

[@delpantion6045]

BirdyGurdy I'm sorry did a countdown list just say "and others" ?!?!!??!? You're damn right it's incoming dislikes if a countdown list said AND OTHERS!!!!!!

[@IVIUT3D]

Ellsworth was honestly the biggest oversight for 2k18. With the new "squash match" mechanic, he really felt like a missing piece. No one else on the roster truely embodies "squash" like Ellsworth.

[@gadz0oks655]

That pun about bates thighs was pretty good!

[@Laynel8]

6:07 Some guy in the crowd looks like Chris Benoit

[@charlesjones3477]

Laynel8 probably his sun

[@brotherbill2714]

Last time I was this early What Culture was good.

[@dey6942]

Bill Nye The Savage Guy what's wrong with it

[@daniell2831]

You're not early

[@shai310]

It is still good tho

[@iscesp04]

Guess what? You can leave

[@cyberpunkgrappling6447]

Bill Nye The Savage Guy You weren't this early since last year !

[@mr.monkey7327]

People complain about wrestling games being outdated, but they include a really new guy like Lars Sullivan and they complain to no end

[@madridjohnny5129]

WhatCulture... YOU JUST MADE THE LIST!

[@paige9676]

Ronda Rousey in WWE 2K19

[@paige9676]

Make it happen!

[@usmzn]

SP Brazy Nobody cares what you think.

[@k99912i]

Could see her being the pre order bonus

[@usmzn]

SP Brazy “you no life”. I think you mean I have no life which isn’t true so shut up.

[@LeoBeltran]

Nope

[@GeminiJayKA]

Really? Really WhatCulture? Some of these people just signed with NXT like Adam Cole, reDRagon, Kairi Sane, and the other women in the MYC who signed with NXT. Also can people get this through their thick heads: NONE OF THE SUPERSTARS IN THE UK DIVISION ARE NOT SIGNED WITH WWE. So putting them in WWE 2K18 is NEVER happening unless they sign a contract to be in WWE.

[@marlonmontelhiggins8570]

Sage69 - "NONE OF THE SUPERSTARS IN THE UK DIVISION ARE NOT SIGNED WITH WWE." Would that mean that they are? Double negatives, mate. Be careful.

[@frankmccown5200]

Peter Thomas England is an English professional wrestler and promoter, currently signed to WWE on a tier-two contract under the ring name Pete Dunne, where he is the current WWE United Kingdom Champion in his first reign. straight off of Google but he not a wwe superstar weird

[@stevesteve0521]

Ellsworth not being in the game is ridiculous considering that he sold more merch than more than half of the roster and that he was in the company for almost a year.

[@sinethsok7382]

Here's what I did: 1) Mute the video 2) Turn on subtitle 3) Read the text in Adam's voice 4) Enjoy

[@denistuohy2535]

Is Rhyno finally in a game

[@itsFOW]

Denis Tuohy he is

[@HoV326]

Where is Almas?

[@Gr8ScottUK]

Wheeze-laugh at that 3-disk line

[@Nick_C1997]

I'm actually surprised that the UK stars aren't gonna be in the game since Trent Seven said in an interview that he, Tyler and Dunne all did motion captures for the game, although, maybe they'll appear in a DLC Pack

[@LordDeek]

Where is Chris Benoit?

[@ellishilton6636]

Hes dead

[@liamsexstone537]

I refuse to watch wcpw since paciti blampied etc left Get it

[@thegoat4849]

My boy BIG BEN is finally getting his time to shine

[@zachcarson5948]

Im sad that these people aren't in the game hopefully 2k can put them in the game as DLC maybe or something

[@falastinalib3152]

How is James Ellsworth big

[@codyman5540]

LewisDaGreat 1 Come back with us when you find a better insult than that. That is as old as the dinosaurs on Earth and THAT'S OLD!!!

[@Daniel-ot4jg]

AerykBaconVEVO Why are you defending a guy who insulted someone's mom?

[@FreshNews247]

This list is bullshit hakf of them could never gotten into the game for reasons of when they join the roster

[@OfficialFingazMC]

Ben needs to be on more wrestling videos! Book it!!

[@CobaltCruiser]

With the two Adams, King Ross and Jack now going their own ways, I hope we see more of Ben. I like him.

[@traxgamin1128]

I like Ben....

[@StixxFam]

PETE DUNNE

[@sambarker5533]

On royal rumble it does mention Ellsworth on 1 and 2s entrance where all the names slide across his name shows up

[@ThatKJGuy]

The gameplay is actually the best it has ever looked. I have already played the game when I went to cover the 2K18 Launch Party and Summerslam (I have a vlog if you're interested).

[@wwewomensrevolution8471]

[@TheTwisted869]

Thats why we have DLC's.

[@YaziusGaming]

The DLC has already been announced, and none of these are in the DLC, soooooooooooooooooooo... RIP this comment?

[@TheTwisted869]

Yazius 2K17 had like 4 DLC's. Just gotta wait and see. Plus if they arent DLC not like people wont create them to be downloaded

[@TPRES_74]

2K can keep DLC that usually doesn't have enough of what I really want in it to push me to buy certain DLC. That's why there's Community Creation's. Best thing to happen to WWE game's.

[@ilikethecokev2]

I have a feeling Hogan won't be back in the 2k games until 2k20 at the earliest at this rate.

[@robbybobby4373]

It is interesting that they didn't include James Ellsworth in the game. He's been in the company since last year. You'd think he be added just for comedic purposes. Maybe he'll be included in a future DLC, but who knows really.

[@ssjgotenks2009]

future dlc dude tfull dlc has benc anforemd there I no james past 6 motnh or more james ben magner

[@B1ggs_]

I can name a few king Ross, jack, adam and Adam and Sam.

[@K-Dub159]

So first that I didn’t even click the vid. It just played soon as I opened KZbin lol And yea I wish we still had Plumpy for this vid

[@mudbone84]

I love Owen Hart! He's one of my all-time favourite pro-wrestlers! It doesn't surprise me one bit that he is not included once again. It's a damn shame! Also, no Pete Dunne?! WHY???

[@dinoduderocket]

That Ellsworth bit was clearly written for Adam

[@koopalings9998]

[@PatersonRoss]

Who the fuck is Ben from what culture?

[@zaynrivers7433]

Go check out the main channel cause he's on there all the time, same with Peter & Jules.

[@blackhawks81H]

Marty Michaels Absolutely, RIP this channel. It's over. All the best guys are now gone. There's no recovering. They'll probably hire the diversity crew and all new videos will be about how wrestling is racist, sexist, misogynist, everything-phobic, and all fans are shitlords... A sad day, truly.

[@thenameless_gamer5955]

I don't know anymore. I've been trying to decide whether or not myself. I've been watching for almost a year, but without the Adams and Jack, it's just not the same.

Not having Hulk Hogan in the game would be like Disney making a huge game and not including Mickey Mouse.

[@aaronhess7635]

Some of these guys could be included as dlc. They always have a legends and a future stars pack every year

[@BorkKillsOneLegMan]

[@BorkKillsOneLegMan]

[@dalkioonn]

[@ecwfan93]

At least these games can include these superstars in future DLC.. Unlike the PS2 days where there is no way to get them unless you create them.

[@ace_akira7004]

They Should make WWE2KULTIMATE With all wwe superstars ever, it will be the best game they ever made!

[@soujikuro9151]

Actualy, i'm surprised they didn't put James Ellsworth, if we remember that he was "almost" WWE Champion

[@beta269]

I bet if you showed this list to a WWE casual fan they wouldn't even know who half these people were.

[@FlyBoyEnterprises]

Some are understandable. Hogan, Owen Hart, Chyna, & Benoit. -Legal & Unfortunate circumstances Some released prior-Aries, Eva, Swagger, The Dudley'sSome debuting after the cutoff date-Mike & Maria Kanelis, Benjamin (McCintyre redebuted after but somehow STILL made it in), Cole, Fish & O ReilyQuestionable omissions-a few from NXT, 205 (its pretty weak in the game), Ellsworth (who was on the roster since last year & has been managing Carmella)

[@MrBlkthndr]

FlyBoyEnterprises Aries was released in July he didn't have to be taken out like that especially wrestling ppvs and such 2k just don't want to risk paying royalty checks for some reason they did it to Wade Barrett, Ryback, Adam Rose and others I don't remember on 2k17 even when they had wrestlemania matches that year but it's annoying.

[@Adamgamer-wc6xd]

You can download them on the community creations area then downloads. It's how I got colonel sanders nd hardy boys,sabu and rey mysterio

[@HmongCalibur]

For sure...future DLC's. Just hope they are more than just 2 or 3 new playable characters.

[@JohnnyPastaMan]

When he said "superstars that won't be in 2K18" I thought hulk hogan and I got it right xD

[@andreaschlapek7718]

Still playin wrestling on the nes and on gameboy

[@tripleatriplea5686]

No hardy boys, no dudly boys,no Shelton Benjamin,no Kurt angle !!!! What the hell .

[@warrensmith5066]

James Ellsworth wasn't included because his face scan fucked up the equipment 😂

[@logankerr8090]

i thought that Dunne, Bate&Seven did mo-caps for the game? guess not

[@beckyisaac1768]

Owen hart is not included in ANYTHING because his wife, but Brett hart is currently challenging her to get Owen and his legacy the recognition he deserves

[@MrKMPT]

Biggest WhatCulture Superstars that won't be in 2018: #1- King Ross #2-Adam Blampied #3- Jack the Jobber #4- Adam Pacitti #5- I forgot the 5th guy

[@GamingFunps4andxboxone]

I wanted to play as Hulk Hogan

[@davidcook3609]

I've always wondered why they ignore some of the older wrestlers. Greats like Yokozuna, LOD, the million dollar man, and Farooq never get any love. Andre the giant is in every year but his biggest rivals never are. What happened to Sgt. Slaughter, Rowdy Roddy Pipper, and the unamericans Iron Shiek and Nicholai Volkoff?

[@Jamieb1994]

I get some people might be upset that Pete Dunne, Tyler Bate & the rest of the UK aren't or might not be in the game, but it's maybe because they hardly make a appearance on WWE, seeing how they usually work in the indies over here in the UK

[@KilooGee]

Tbh I miss the storymodes back in the Smackdown vs Raw games
