MarcusCouch10 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) *This is not my post someone on the 2K forums found this and I feel like people should see thisSo, according Shawn Michaels' attire...Shown here and briefly in the gameplay trailer: Assuming that Shawn Michaels plays a role in the Stone Cold showcase this year, his model and the model's gear would reflect that. So, there are only three possible matches to be included in the showcase in which HBK wore these Texas heart tights.The three matches are:- Sycho Sid vs. Shawn Michaels (Royal Rumble 1997)- British Bulldog & Owen Hart vs. Steve Austin & Shawn Michaels (RAW 05/26/1997)- Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels (Bad Blood 2003) With that said, only one match out of these three really make sense to me as an inclusion for the 2K Showcase. That being, the tag team match on RAW between Owen, Bulldog, HBK, and Stone Cold. It seems to be the only match with any direct significance to Austin's career. However, Owen has not been announced and is unlikely to be included at this point. Unless 2K decided to include this attire for Shawn as just a bonus unlockable. I do doubt that 2K would add such a specific attire into the game just to do so, though... I'm not sure. What do you guys think? Edited October 1, 2015 by MarcusCouch10 Quote
MarcusCouch10 Posted October 1, 2015 Author Posted October 1, 2015 Just watched the match on the network and here's what I found about itIt's a tag team title match with Owen & Bulldog vs Shawn & Austin (Champions)During the match Brian Pillman, Bret Hart, and Neidhart stand at the ramp.The leaked commentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UV_NRLmIxNg talks about Shawn & Austin about the TagTitles and everyone thought it was the match with Austin/Shawn vs the Road WarriorsAt the end of the match Austin attacks Bret and the Hart family attacks Shawn so this match as a cinematic value with a good cutscene Characters involved that are confirmed.Bret Hart, Brian Pillman, British Bulldog, Jim Neidhart, Shawn Michaels (exact attire from that night), and Stone Cold the only one left is Owen Quote
Codes. Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) So how would they do they match without one of the main players from it? Because Owen and Benoit are the only two people that will never appear in a WWE Game. Edited October 1, 2015 by Codes. Quote
MarcusCouch10 Posted October 1, 2015 Author Posted October 1, 2015 Someone suggested in the main thread over at the forums that Martha could've secretly given them permission since she recently let them do a documentary about OwenSo how would they do they match without one of the main players from it?

bluemonkeymagic Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Owen as the star DLC would make sense. I know Martha was hurt and kept a lot of hatred for the wwe, but after all these years, maybe she needs the money?What I can say, if owen is in, he'll get the push he deserved in my universe Quote
Aero Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 DLC would mean he's not in the story mode tho, which still leaves a large hole in the above issue! Quote
Gamevolt Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Martha doesn't like WWE advertising Owen and making money of him so maybe there is a slim chance Owen might be in the game but 2K can't advertise it. It's a 0.1% chance but still. Quote
Big Pete® Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 DLC would mean he's not in the story mode tho, which still leaves a large hole in the above issue!Nah, they did it with warrior afew years back, he was in the story mode but not playable if you didnt pre-order him until they put him up as DLC... they said somewhere they loved the idea of old wwf games such as no mercy because of the eliment of surprise regarding the roster, maybe, just maybe, they are keeping the rocket under wraps.. doubtful but who knows. .. jeff?

The Nomodder Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 My guess is they replaced Owen with a different member of the Hart Foundation. No chance he is in the game. 1 Quote
jcsix Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 And to add more, its an exact match to the Raw tag match out of those 3. At the Rumble match, he had a hat + beard at the time, and the entrance attire is completely different in his Bad Blood match. Quote
Titavius Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 My guess is they replaced Owen with a different member of the Hart Foundation. No chance he is in the game.I was thinking this myself. I thought maybe they'd just replaced him with Jim. When you think about it, though, it doesn't make sense. If you're gonna do that, why even include the match in the first place? It'd be better to just include another historically accurate match with the correct playable characters. I have a feeling Owens in. Quote
Cerb Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Yeah why was Sid in 2K15 really? I never figured that out, only way to get to him is to unlock him as an NPC Quote

I'm thinking maybe they just added that attire just for the hell of it. Quote
MepsiPax Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 This is all very interesting but knowing 2K he'll probably be replaced with stevie Richards or something 1 Quote

Certainly not Sid And to add more, its an exact match to the Raw tag match out of those 3. At the Rumble match, he had a hat + beard at the time, and the entrance attire is completely different in his Bad Blood match.Nice findings! I have not seen the others but I did watch the Tag Match last night on the Network I think they may be saving this for surprise honestly and steadily hinting it because maybe 2K themselves released that Tag Team Audio and now they on purpose used this attire for the trailer hey could be hinting it Quote
The 4th Doctor Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Owen won't be in as long his bitter Wife Martha is still alive. She wants to erase Owen's Legacy and doesn't want him in anything with the WWE name on it. Edited October 1, 2015 by The 4th Doctor Quote
N'Jadaka Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Guys I know it's fun to speculate whether Owen is in the game or not but the sad truth is he's probably not gonna be.2k/Yukes/WWE Games has consistently screwed up HBK's outfits in regards to historical accuracy from wwe 13 to 2k15. The worst case of this was WWE 2k15 in which they lazily did two real outfits & superstar threads the rest of them very inaccurately. I am almost positive that that's simply gonna be the HBK's outfit for Wrestlemania 14. It won't be a tag match, it won't be a king of the ring 97 or royal Rumble vs Sid 97 bonus match, they just screwed up HBK's WM14 attire. That's why they're in the quasi dx wrestlemania 14 pose, that's why Triple H is in his Wrestlemania 14 attire behind him. They screwed up & they probably won't fix him because they ALWAYS slack on his attires. It may be a art director with a grudge or some dismissive voice in the planning room who may say during the planning phase "Shawn has too many different attires & it'll be hell to make them all when they're soo close to one another I'm detail so let's just program in superstar threads to save time & gamespace", but I'd expect Dixie Carter as Bulldog's tag partner before Owen. Sad to say but don't get your hopes up! Edited October 1, 2015 by rj10018576 Specify Quote

stlpowercat Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 To add further speculation...didn't the path of the warrior dlc release coincide with his dvd release?
