I'm so ready for them to finally make the WrestleMania stage and ramp bigger and longer. This feels like a regular raw or smackdown arena just with "WrestleMania" on it.

[@KingxNarcisse]

Facts.

[@MrBrickhouse]

💯 I said the same thing.

[@machosadness8821]

It's impossible, that would require to have different entrance animations depending on the stage.

It’s pretty accurate that 40% of this is just the entrances 😆

[@canadian__ninja]

Considering the last 20 seconds or so is replays and other post match stuff it's actually about 50%, maybe more.

[@fakedazzleful]

Lol

[@Bob53019]

And another 25% of Roman kicking out of numerous finishers 🤣😂

[@brockontop]

This is pretty accurate. Except it's going to take about 6 Disaster kicks, 8 Cody Cutters, and 13 CrossRhodes to keep Roman down for the three count. 😂

A Video Game Move By Cody Rhodes

[@computerrazor57]

For arcade fighting games there are lots of options Tekken, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter Etc. We want wrestling games which is played exactly like how it is done in real life. Suppose you hit your opponent with a spear and if he gets up within a few seconds that kills the fun. Everybody loves HCTP or SVR series. Those are classics and we have to move beyond those series.Also the stance of wrestlers which they have started adding since WWE 2K22 it's really awkward. It's a wrestling game not some MMA game where the stance of a wrestler will be similar to a MMA fighter. It's a big turn off.

[@sjsjsIIIIIIIIIIndndnjdhdhx]

That's why the stun is the game, to do that.

[@MrBrayo22]

They need to sync the pyro with the cody entrance. Like when he raises his hands that's when pyro comes out. 2k u need to fix this

@@M.i.k.e you can do champion vs champion, but you literally can’t fight the person for both belts. For example, you playing as Cody Rhodes, you can’t challenge roman reigns for BOTH the belts at the same time, only one of them. Then once Cody had that belt, you can only now fight roman reigns for his other belt, which makes it a champion unification match.
