Poor Usos man, wish they could've made the cut. But we all know that it was impossible, sadly.

I'm sorry but HOW was it impossible? They've been on the main roster for a few years now, they where in last years game as DLC and they are one of the fav favourite tag teams.

They wasn't at this level at this time at the time the game made the cut which was March according to Cory Ledesma. And we can't a sure if WWE will even let them in or not. At the end of the day, it's still all about their (WWE)'s decision of who's can make it in the game or not.

[Titavius]

should probably stop with the memes for a while...

 

however, someone should tweet the uso's this one

I understand that it is WWE's decision on who makes it in, however that still doesn't change the fact that The Uso's are a fan favourite tag team and people have been begging for them to be given a chance with the titles.

Well if you are one of the beggers (don't take me wrong) then go tell 2K or WWE or even open a petition (Yeah that's usually works). Tellin me won't help.

[MarvstaX]

Ehh truthfully, I'm not too concerned, I mean, I can get them later as CAWs.  I just find it odd that they where left out for the reasons I mentioned before.

Must i explain this again?

[Titavius]

there's a system they have in place.. it's been the same system they've had since the late 90's. remember all those people bitching about how Big Show never made Smackdown 2? or how Jericho never made WWE '12 even.. same system. Why aren't people getting this? even the Uso's apparently don't get it.

 

Go back through all the pay per views and televisions airings from the last year or so.. now come back and tell us how many times you saw the Uso's and I believe you'll have your answer. 

[Miztah Raza]

Right, the Usos weren't 'big' enough, which explains why they were added as DLC in WWE '13, correct?

They were DLC in '13 because of the demand for them. Similar to the demand we're reading at the moment. However, they're not going to add them as DLC again and if they do, it'll probably be a make good DLC because people won't STFU about them..

Actually not a bad idea... let's just all flame Auday and Cory on twitter until they make a surprise DLC! I mean: In WWE 12 they made Kane as a surprise character, didn't they?

Some one open a petition already!!!!!!!!!

[Titavius]

If people keep bitching, 2K will have no choice but to recall all copies of the game, completely reverse engineer it, put EVERYTHING that has been bitched and moaned about onto the disk, and ship it back out to you in time for Christmas. 

 

So keep bitching, everybody.. it's just gotta work

Yes Christian is a midcarder and it makes sense him being in as he has a fanbase but evidently so to do the Uso's...certainly moreso than David Otunga.

Based on the principal that shows = relevance, (live or otherwise) I doubt anyone can honestly say their exclusion isn't a little harsh at least.

Ultimately they weren't included because the people/person making the decision on the final roster decided against them...nothing at all to do with how relevant they were at the time. 

 

There is no point debating it any further...in an ideal world yes the Uso's would have made the cut, but the roster is what it is. In my opinion it's probably the best we have ever had, and though they won't ever be able to measure up to IGM's there will no doubt be great caw's of the guys that others feel should be in.  

 

So stop arguing and start getting excited...the game is almost upon us

[Miztah Raza]

You're right AJ. 7 days!!

[Titavius]

... wait, what?... the Uso's didn't make the game?? 

[AjSim]

You're right AJ. 7 days!!
