WWE 2K15: Alleged Full Roster List Emerges

We have an alleged list of WWE 2K15’s full roster. The same disclaimers you expect apply here, but if you want to check it out, read on below.

The roster is a mix of people actively wrestling for WWE, a few wrestling legends, and some up-and-comers in WWE’s not-quite-ready-for-primetime show, NxT. It’s a big deal for the NxT wrestlers, but I have a feeling a lot of wrestling fans will be disappointed that they took slots away from more famous wrestlers or some legends.

So, first off, there are a few female wrestlers, yes, but not as many as I had hoped. The list only has names from the actual roster, does not include current Divas Champion Paige, and lacks any female wrestling legends who would have been worth adding, such as Trish Stratus, Wendi Richter, Fabulous Moolah, or even Lita.

Some of the legends who were added are new to the wrestling game world. So, this seems to be the first time you can play as Bob Backlund (hopefully as the '70s wunderkid and not the '90s psychotic), the original Nature Boy, Buddy Rogers, Stan The Man Stasiak, and Bruno Sammartino’s hated rival, The Russian Bear Ivan Koloff. I am a little afraid new fans may not appreciate their inclusion, but this is where WWE would need to step up and let fans know why they're cool to play as.

Of course, there will always be a legend apparently missing, but there’s no pleasing anybody on that end. Having said that, I do feel that HHH’s tweet about Sting being able to face every Legend ever was misleading (again, assuming this list is true). At least, they could have rounded out the roster of Sting’s rivals throughout the years, with people such as Big Van Vader and Jake the Snake Roberts.

By the way, did you remember when we posted about Sting, Honky Tonk Man and Sid Vicious spoiling Sting’s reveal on Twitter? Well, Psycho Sid Vicious made the cut too, but not HTM, aka Wayne Ferris.

To be quite honest, I hope this list isn’t real, but it seems believable enough. You can read the full list below.
