Each match included is playable through the Showcase mode, allowing you to recreate each historical match step-by-step (save for the bizarre, fantasy Blaze vs Paige one). Since 2K is seemingly trying to be historically accurate with this pack, they were also nice enough to recreate the following arenas for their specific match as well:
- WWF This Tuesday in Texas 1991
- WWF Summerslam 1991
- WWF Survivor Series 2000
- WCW Clash of the Champions 17
- WCW/New Japan Supershow I
- WCW Halloween Havoc 1996
So… 2K hasn’t given us a WCW Nitro arena at all this year but has heavily focused on early 90’s WCW with this year’s game. I’m not complaining at all, it’s just the complete opposite of what you would expect. I mean, this year’s game has included Flyin’ Brian, Stunning Steve Austin, and TWO different Col. Robert Parkers to choose from in the manager pool:
Great fun seeing all of these characters, really glad that we’ve got Earthquake and Typhoon included now so that one can easily go through and given them their alternate Shark…
And Shockmaster attires:
Like I said earlier, the WWE games are always better when THQ or 2K gives us a variety of characters and arenas to create our own perfect unique WWE Universe. You can set up RAW to have current superstars mixed with legends, or you can be like me and have early WCW-era events every week with a WCW Monday Nitro show that’s basically an updated WCW/nWo Revenge:
Truth be told, I have more fun downloading characters and setting up my Universe mode perfectly than actually playing the game’s godawful career mode. I don’t believe that there’s any more major DLC content coming down the pike, but I’m ecstatic over the variety that 2K included this year. If the jump to 2K16 from 2K15 is any indication, I’m looking forward to what the next game in the series will play like and hoping it also carries over a majority of this year’s content as well.

Can you play as these characters outside of their historical match? ( Exhibition, Universe Mode )
Yes. All of these characters will be available as DOWNLOADED CHARACTERS in the other modes.
