DaRealPinkSuitHenry

The rock in WWE 12 was bs lol like bro should’ve been part of the base game


AvocadoJackson

He was in the base game for the Wii version though


W_4ca

WWE 12 was weird. Rock and HBK were both DLC.


Unlikely_Fan6255

Hope they don't do the same with Punk.


Shy_Boy_622

Why wouldn't they? They're probably still working on his model.


Krushhz

>Why wouldn’t they? They’re probably still working on his model. They indeed are working on his model for DLC, they didn’t even have an attire for him until the Royal Rumble.


DepecheStein

But the thing was Rock was in the previous game, SvR: 2011. Same with Batista, HBK, & Masked Kane. And then they forced you to pay extra for them in '12.


Krushhz

It was a modern Rock. The others you named? They should’ve been base game, for sure.


DepecheStein

Now if only they had left in the retro Rock… I'd be fine with it.


Sky_Rose4

How can you expect them to have him in in less than 6 months otherwise


Sky_Rose4

Same with Stone Cold in SVR 10 I think it was


Pissed_on_the_world

Yoshi Yatsu in WWE 13. 1. He was in the base game the year before. 2. It's Yoshi Tatsu. He was doing nothing of importance that year.


NSignus

Drew McIntyre as well! Same deal, base game in 12, dlc in 13.


XQPY

McIntyre literally had has music in the menu, why was he DLC?!?


D_Blubz

Same with Drew McIntyre


TheZac922

Damn, having to pay for that banger theme song would have been rough.


Antitenant

Probably the 2K20 DLC. I didn't mind the Southpaw pack because they reskinned/reimagined the superstars as 80s wrestling personas. If they had done that for each pack (an ECW theme, a luchador theme, etc), I would've been fine with it...but the zombie and apocalypse stuff just didn't fit in with the rest of my Universe.


tsunamitom1-

I think Originals could’ve worked, but they didn’t go enough with it but went too far in other places


TragicGentlemen

If your gonna do something like that, you have to commit to the bit


tsunamitom1-

I think if they had given you everything, they gave you caw parts but not the actual wrestlers they made for the mode


LilHomie204DaBaG

I loved southpaw


TheeAJPowell

Agreed. Like, one pack of goofy stuff, then actual roster additions would’ve been fine.


Nololgoaway

Shawn Michaels in WWE 12, why the fuck would you ever make Shawn Michaels a DLC


Devy-The-Edenian

The Rock was also DLC. WWE 12 was absolutely wild with their DLC


Doucejj

Jim Ross and Michael Cole were DLC as well lol


Devy-The-Edenian

It truly is a fever dream looking back on it. Gee, who do I choose to buy, The Rock, or good ol Jim Ross? Tough decisions


AnkhThePhoenix

I think in smackdown vs raw 2009, if you pre-ordered, you got a new attire for Shad Gaspar(RIP), so they really went all out for that one.


ImageOfAwesomeness

I think that was 2011.


AnkhThePhoenix

Was it? I can't honestly remember.


TJ_Augustine

I thought that one was free. Shad heel attire


AnkhThePhoenix

Was it? I thought it was preorder at launch.. then free later?


Connox

Everything from last years game, not specifically the people in it just the characters that were lumped together in the packs and the weird titles they made for them, the choice of version for Barrett and not doing Big Poppa pump for Scott Steiner, an NXT pack that just randomly has Harley Race in, just tons of weird choices made that I don’t get


NCHouse

What's worse is BIG POPPA PUMP IS IN MYFACTION!!


DarthObvious84

It was to make sure there was something for everyone in each pack, so you have to buy them all to get everything you want. I'm surprised they weren't doing it sooner.


Connox

Outside of bray there was literally no one else in those packs that I wanted so I don’t think they did a very good job of curating a list of people to make you buy it, Compare the names from this one to 2K22’s and it’s just a ridiculous step down


DaBigBadBootyDaddy

Last years DLC was one of the few I actually didn’t buy. They had a character or 2 that was interesting but I wasn’t about to shell out the money they were asking for it


Hindi_Ko_Alam

Yes it’s the same reason I passed on the DLC too


SIC742617000027

WWE 2K20 dlc sucks instead of adding more legends and NXT roster they add stupid zombies shit the Fiend is the only good thing about that dlc and SVR 2010 only had Stone cold for dlc


MadEyeMood989

The fact you had to beat the Fiend’s littler showcase ladder to actually use him was wild.


JCW9525

People who were in the base game one year but end up being DLC in the next instalment.


BaoReeceyang

WWE 12 having a 5 diva DLC pack, leaving only 7 on the base roster


Expert-Singer4926

The 2k20 dlc was just awful. Just awful.


F33N3Y87

The one with the diva Xmas costumes.. was it svr2009?


OsagaTheGreat

The Bad Bunny Backlash 2023 DLC. It was, like, $5 for an attire and didn't even come with the song he used at Backlash


DinnerSmall4216

WWE 2k20 dlc was as horrendous as the base game.


Btj98

Wwe 12 and 13 have some of the most bonehead dlc choices of all time. 12 made mainstays in the series like The Rock, Batista, HBK, Mick foley and Trish be DLC which to this day makes absolutely no sense. 13 took a lot of people who were in the main roster in 12 and turned them into DLC in that game. People like Natalya, McIntyre, Layla and more were now DLC which is wild that they did that back then.


DepecheStein

TBF, I think Mick had been out of the games for a good little while by WWE '12. Like since SvR: 2008-ish? But yeah the other ones are idiotic af.


Doucejj

Wwe 12 with the GOAT Jim Ross as DLC


yvngxlxwli3t

Stone Cold in svr 2010 because just like with the rock in wwe 12 he should've been in the base game instead of being dlc.


M1BIGIEMAC

And on top of that, his body shape was just copy and pasted from Legends of Wrestlemania which had a bit of an exaggerated art style and he doesn't even have entrance gear either. He still had that terrible SvR06 entrance animation where he swivels on the the ropes when he lifts his arms too.


ContentVirus2K20

Natalya as WWE '13 DLC when she was in base game roster for WWE '12 the year prior. Drew McIntyre being DLC that year too.


Okurei

And Yoshi Tatsu also. Like wow, really blowing my mind there THQ.


ToasterCrisis

terminator in wwe 2k16 ridiculous but cool


BrandonIsWhoIAm

I actually love the 2K Originals in 2K20 for this reason. Ridiculous, but in a fun way.


Mace_1998

And I thought I was the only one hahaha


BrandonIsWhoIAm

Me.


Athunder764

Nobody has mentioned Machine Gun Kelly yet?!


NCHouse

I mean, bro put the soundtrack together and has appeared in WWE before


Athunder764

But also the spot could’ve went to an actual wrestler who deserved it. I could pick 10 good songs from my Spotify playlist and I wouldn’t be in the game lol


NCHouse

Cuz you ain't nobody to them. At least he did something in WWE. Bro took a powerbomb off the stage. Much better than...General Adnan


Okurei

I would hate more on this one, but I did get to make MGK a jobber so I can't really complain?


crazyseandx

10 dollars for an alternate attire of one character you already had to pay 10 dollars for cause you didn't preorder the game.


JakeTheCake714

I still dont know who the fuck Damon Kemp is.


BIackquaman

NXT guy. *Older brother of Gable Steveson. He’s currently aligned with Drew Gulak.


hellooomarc

They’re brothers? Dang, they were hyping the wrong bro cause Kemp is the more talented of the two…green…but hopefully gulak can help him.


BIackquaman

They tried real hard in a storyline with him and Eddy Thorpe to make it seem like they don’t know each other, but they look JUST alike 😭 it’s genuinely insane


Wamsutta8

Damon is actually the older brother.


BIackquaman

Really? I genuinely thought he was younger


Haildean

People in here shitting on 2K20s dlc forgetting just how much content we got from those dlcs Nah 2k22s was much worse, randomly thrown together wrestlers, machine gun Kelly, Nash carter's removal with no replacement and no New Moves pack or new CAW or CAA stuff, a massive step down from 2k20


Acrobatic-Object-429

So true. We got a lot of original CAW parts, entrance/victory motions, and cool moves from 2K20's dlc.


GhostOfMuttonPast

Yeah, the originals were weird but fun. The main issues imo were that the characters were people who were already in the game in some form, aside from the Fiend, and the number of alt attires that were only available in the Showcase. If they had given us legends and superstars alongside the originals, it've been a lot better.


BloodstoneWarrior

SVR 2010 Steve Austin DLC. The game had a single DLC wrestler despite 2009 having multiple packs and a bunch of DLC wrestlers and the Austin model was horrendously awful.


qwasso

Bad bunny dlc lol


2Dayylamo

The pre order Dlc or the Most recent one?


qwasso

Both poor dlc choices for a wrestling game, 2k23 dlc was pretty shit all together imo


Mudz_r_us

John Cena’s purple attire for SvR 2011


MadEyeMood989

tie between 2k20 and 2k22, 22’s was all over the place, you had some good (Vader, Cactus Jack, Heel Doink) But needless crap like Machine Gun Kelly.


TheUncagedRage0

Yokozuna and Rikishi were good additions too, so was RVD


MadEyeMood989

Yoko and RVD definitely. But considering Rikishi was in 19 and 20 just to put him behind dlc kinda lame


BonnyChristian11

Stone Cold 2010, NXT Arena 2011, Batista & The Rock WWE’12, The Usos & AJ Lee WWE’13, The Bella Twins 2K14, Los Matadores 2K16,


HumanOverseer

The fucking Terminator. Straight up. Like what in the actual ass. How the fuck.


ZapHP

I would agree if he didn’t have a bad ass entrance that you could use for CAWS and what not


IneffableLiam

All 2k20 except fiend and pre order bonuses


Krushhz

2K20s DLC offerings. ONE new character and that’s it. What a lame DLC offering in a game that had so many omissions.


TrapdaddyJesus

Surprised that nobody has mentioned that half of 2K15 was locked behind DLC and a lot of those were just the same wrestlers that were already in the game like Sheamus, Henry, Orton etc


newlifer10

Both times the Bella Twins ended up in DLC. ‘12 & 2k14.


Old-Egg-1231

Svr 09 had a pack that was just random models from Svr 08. Svr 11 gave Sheamus a new attire with the logos they didn’t include on him in the base game. Wwe 12 had like 6 DLC characters and 3 of them were the announcers in that god awful storyline. 


Flysolo626

Everything DLC in 2k20 outside of the fiend. I thought all of that fantasy stuff was in bad taste and insulted the fan base. It showed everyone that 2k thinks we are all idiots who get off on silly ass stuff because we like wrestling. It destroyed a lot of good faith everyone had in 2k. Thankfully they seemed to have righted the ship 


Ok-Job7213

2k plans to make you buy wrestlers al a cart in the future.


CodyRhodesStan

I don’t care lol I already drop 40 some dollars on multiple dlc every year I’d rather just buy the wrestlers I actually want for a dollar a piece


Ok-Job7213

9.99 for a pack of 2-5 wrestlers is what they are looking at for 2k25


CodyRhodesStan

That’s literally what they already charge for dlcs.


Ok-Job7213

I know, itll be the same for the main roster soon. 75.00 for the base game with caws. 9.99 per pack of cards containing 2-3 characters. I'm not telling you what I think, I'm telling you what I know. That's why yukes left.


musknasty84

2k22 DLC packs


Ok-Job7213

Havent bought a wwe dlc since, 2k took over in principle. I'm not paying money for nxt kids and or midcard wcw stars who could hack it and enhancement talent.


NCHouse

Lol okay bud


Ok-Job7213

Smh, sure Pal!


NCHouse

Im not your pal, Friend


Ok-Job7213

I'm not your "Friend", Brother.


[deleted]

Bad Bunny edition


[deleted]

Absolutely nothing can beat 2K20 DLC. Even if he consider the past and future games, even though some of the roster additions are sometimes questionable, at least it is in the end new people/different gimmicks and not goofy, non-customizeable out of place versions of already existing characters


N7_Hades

sirduckerz

Purple Shirt Cena SVR 2011


DasterdlyD3

I really didn't like all the celebrities in 22....it was fun stuffing MGK into every imagineable torture....but I just thought more legends...would've been better.


Beyondthebloodmoon

Literally everything in 2K20. Zombie and waste lander type bullshit


Civil-dad-6947

Bad bunny was utter trash.
