WWE 2K16 is less than a month away, and a post on the 2K forums has revealed the confirmed Stone Cold Steve Austin matches in 2K Showcase Austin mode.
There’s some classics in there, no doubt about that. Getting to play through Austin’s epic feud with Bret Hart that culminated at WrestleMania 13, and his unforgettable match with The Rock at WrestleMania 17, it is going to be a nostalgic rollercoaster of excitement.
But there’s also a range of classics that 2K have neglected to include. Some of the omissions are forced on 2K, as not every wrestler from the period is under a WWE contract or were available for the game. Other omissions are blatant oversights, but at least the overall quality of the Austin content looks good.
The matches to be included are-
vs. Pillman – Clash Of The Champions Xxv
vs. Steamboat – Bash At The Beach ’94

In years gone by, WWE has found it difficult the plug the gap between two of the biggest PPVs of the year.
The Survivor Series and the Royal Rumble are two traditions in WWE that often shape the direction of the following WrestleMania, so how do WWE keep everyone’s interest throughout December?
The December PPV hasn’t been as regular as many think. The first December PPV took place in 1989 when the WWE’s own ‘No Holds Barred’ film staring Hulk Hogan was shown before a series of pre-recorded matches. The next December PPV took place in the form of 1991’s ‘This Tuesday in Texas’ as WWE tried to make Tuesday nights theirs but failed coming just days after that year’s Survivor Series with a botched attempt to sell the same Undertaker vs Hulk Hogan main event.
There would be another four year hiatus until the ‘In Your House’ series started.
