Reigniting the Monday Night WARS - WWE 2k23 MyGM - EPISODE #1

  • It's March 14th, so that means it's day 1 launch of WWE 2K23!
    This series will be based on WCW trying to come alive once again and take down RAW and SMACKDOWN in WWE 2K23's MyGM mode.
    I've taken Eric Bischoff as the GM of WCW and will try to bring WCW back to the top of the wrestling world. As you'll see in the draft, I've tried to mix wrestlers in the past who actually wrestled for WCW, and some wrestlers who have historic ties to the company. Will it be a recipe for success? or will we go down in flames!

      100%! I was shocked that they had WCW over ECW. but if they add ECW next year (or hopefully the ability to just create a show) we can do the attitude era RAW vs WCW vs ECW!

      You know, I hadn't even thought of that...But that's a really good point. I chose WCW because it's a cool alternative to what we got last year, but reason for picking WCW number two (for me) was having my champ have the big gold belt!

    Looks pretty cool structurally, but I won't buy. I just don't know/care about any current day wrestlers and the Attitude Era pickings seems extremely thin.
    I want a GM mode set in the Monday Night Wars with a special Attitude Era roster like WWE 12 had. All those guys in their primes and rated according to their status at the time, not as legends of the past. Why not? Thats when the "ratings war" ACTUALLY mattered lol. Also sucks the big one that you can't just remove all these present day people. I wouldn't even want the AI picking em lol
    Plus the roster size is just ass. Who cares about a "world title" thats only available to like 7 people lol. Even Universe mode a few years ago had more than that. Each belt had ranking up to like 30 guys deep... The womens side is even more laughable lol. 4 chicks swapping the belt back and forth

      Those are all fair points, but if I can play devil's advocate for just a second (and 2K don't endorse me or anything).
      The point you mentioned about status', any wrestler (who is unlocked) can be change to "active" and be available for the draft. and there are a 100 downloadable slot for CAW and you can hypothetically make your own attitude era roster.
      I do get what your saying because make your own roster that saying will take a long time...
