So rumors are going around that this year's game is going to feature a healthy dose of Attitude. Do with that what you will, I have a feeling we'll find out all about it come June.

Well, you have to feel that Rock and Stone Cold will be in. HBK makes sense as well. I would like to see Roadd Dog too.

Yeah, Rock/Austin/Shawn are givens. Also you can probably expect Attitude attires for HHH, Taker, Edge and Christian, too.

Wouldn't surprise me for them to have the New Age Outlaws and/or X-Pac as well... now that Road Dogg has made up with the company.

X-Pac's not gonna happen. He posted a bunch of shit on Twitter bitching because they didn't offer him enough money. Apparently he wants $2,500/show on the indies and THQ only offered him what he'd make for three shows. Kind of silly to turn down a $7,500 payday, no?

"THQ is looking to feature more legends from the Attitude Era in the upcoming WWE ’13 video game. Former WWE wrestler Sean “X-Pac” Waltman is upset because THQ is reportedly offered him a very small amount of money to appear in the game.
Several stars from the Attitude Era have been contacted to appear in the game and the superstars who are not currently under a WWE talent contract or a Legends deal are not being offered much to be featured in the game.
As previously reported, WWE Hall of Famers Jim Ross will be replacing Michael Cole on commentary and will call the matches alongside his longtime broadcast partner, Jerry “The King” Lawler."
WELL THERE'S AN IMPROVEMENT ALREADY.

Wow, yeah, you'd think he'd take whatever they give him. Guess his ego overrode common sense.

Honestly at this point, any Attitude Era guy who turns down a paycheck, even if it's only $2,000, to be featured in a video game that will probably sell huge, is a complete idiot.

I agree... they get exposure, and they get cash, seems like a win win.

Here's the Attitude Era roster I'm hoping for. A lot of the guys will be in the game anyways, pretty much anyone who doesn't have two attires in this little fantasy roster are the ones who aren't real strong bets, or they are but I don't see them having more than one attire:
The Rock (Modern Rock as default, Attitude Era attire as an alternate) Steve Austin (Regular wrestling gear as default, Austin 3:16 shirt and jean shorts as an alternate) Triple H (Modern HHH as default, 1999/2000 HHH as an alternate) The Undertaker (Modern Taker as default, ABA as alternate, Ministry Undertaker as second alternate) Edge (I'd guess modern Edge as default, Brood attire as an alternate) Christian (Modern Christian as default, Brood attire as an alternate) The Big Show (Modern Show as default, 1999 Show as an alternate) Mark Henry (Modern Henry as default, SEXUAL CHOCOLATE~ as an alternate) Chris Jericho (Modern Jericho as default, WrestleMania X-Seven attire as an alternate) Kane (Modern Kane as default, unmasked Kane as first alternate, 1998 Kane as second alternate) Vince McMahon (Suit as default, general Vince wrestling gear as an alternate) Booker T Eddie Guerrero Gangrel Rikishi Road Dogg Billy Gunn Big Boss Man
I think that's a fairly realistic roster. Everyone from Rock to Vince is almost a guarantee to be in, and they already have models made for a good chunk of those attires suggested. Booker will probably be in, I could see the Outlaws being in, Gangrel's apparently been contacted, Rikishi's kids work for WWE and Boss Man is seeing a lot of play in recent games.

I'd love to see the alternate Kane be face Kane with the Voice box when he was teaming with X-Pac, but I suppose if they don't get X-Pac that probably won't happen.
If they're gonna do the Brood, I'd hope for the APA as well... Simmons and JBL must both be on LEgends deals, right?
Hell, it would even been fun to toss in some Attitude Era jobbers... Mean Street Posse, Crash Holly, Steve Blackman, Al Snow, Mideon, etc.

An Attitude era guy I'd love to see in the game is Ken Shamrock. Oh, and The Headbangers! Maybe Hardcore Holly too...

And Book, I think Shamrock might be possible but money is probably a factor if the payoffs are as 'low' as X-Pac was bitching about.

Per Cory Ledesma on twitter:
"I'm much more hands on with design this year. Personally taking over the story mode for #WWE13. It will be epic, that much I can guarantee!"
"Flying out to Japan today, to meet with Yukes this upcoming week and discuss #WWE13. Lots of work ahead of us. Sayonara!"
Rumors are also going around the game might be unveiled at WrestleMania weekend like a lot of the previous games (SVR07, 08, 09, WrestleMania X8, WrestleMania XIX, Day of Reckoning) have.

Saw this on another board.
If this ends up being the case, I'd love to have 20+ Attitude Era guys and arenas in. Fuck having guys like Husky Harris and the Superstars crew, give me the Brood dammit.
