There's a #1 contender's match from RAW in June 1998 between Taker and Kane for the title shot at King of the Ring that had Austin and McMahon both on commentary sniping at each other the whole match, it's in the game's commentary and they are both at ringside with JR and King. Mike Tyson prowls outside the ring at Mania XIV. Every graphic, belt, arena is true to the era. When they change the "WWE Championship Match" logo for real, is where it's changed in the game. Honestly, if you were a fan in the Attitude Era, I can't recommend it more.

im pretty sure you just sold me the game.

I'm on Chapter 3 - Brothers of Destruction. Looks to cover June 1, 1998 probably up to when the title gets vacated for the Survivor Series tournament.

Yup, the Cactus Jack vs. Hunter - Falls Count Anywhere match I currently my favorite match in story mode so far, followed by the Taker vs. Mankind KOTR Hell in a Cell match.

WWE13 is absolutely amazing and the best wrestling fame in the past decade. So much attention and detail was pit intoning the product very authentic. It's the little details that make this product a must-have.

It's WAY better than last years. I got bored with last years game after about a day, this one, especially with the 'epic match' option when playing with another person, is fantastic.

Finished the Brothers of Destruction chapter. Had trouble with the Austin - Kane rematch on Raw. It's tough to hit a finisher and pin within 10 seconds when the opponent has a manager. Took me like 5 tries, finally hit it with the Undertaker at ringside to pull down Paul Bearer. Plus the standard Stunner adds three or four seconds of trash talk in the animation. You have to use the alternate Stunner.

On to The Great One.

This type of mode has to be in future versions, but I don't know what you can do that would be so effective. Maybe a collection of random big angles like Hogan - Andre...

Nice tip.

And, it can be done, like WWE Championship Classics, WWE Intercontinental Classics, Tag Team, Wrestlemania, Rumble, Classic RAW moments, Superstars, OMG Moments, etc, etc....

Things that are great are the memorable matches that aren't really major enough to ever get brought up, but once you see you have to play it, it's like "hell yes." Most recently for me Shamrock vs. Rock vs. Mankind #1 contenders triple threat cage match from In Your House: Breakdown.

[MaLaKaS]

Just finished the WM XV match between Austin vs . Rock. Now I am I'll to the final match...Hart vs. Undertaker at Summer Slam 1997. I am in love with this game and it's bringing back so many teenage memories when I was watching these matches live.

And to the question of what the next gsme's era could be...I say late 80s Golden Era.

So any future DVDs and programming will have the F back? I wish the name would go back to normal too. I associate the change from F to E as the decline of pro wrestling as well.

Yeah the first couple are already out. Lesnar & nWo releases are both unedited. I have a bit of OCD and love wrestling on blu ray. It's almost jarring to hear the "F." The first promo nWo cut at No Way Out when they came back, they said WWF about 15 times. It was weird. Also all old matches going up on the site for the first time are unedited. It's a move for their network as well. Puts their best footage back in play without ma hours to edit it. I just wish some of the great releases they won't release again were unblurred.

I want to get tickets. I couldn't log on when they went on sale, but I am hoping that I can find a decent set still.

[ThememanXX]
