WWE 13: 4 Reasons We Can't Wait For Attitude Era Mode

2. The Iconic Matches

From Stone Cold vs The Rock through to Hell In A Cell, the Attitude Era featured some incredibly memorable matches which seem to have transcended the historical period, and which are still offered as examples of why the sports entertainment is engaging even despite those inane accusations of its staged nature somehow compromising its appeal. The appeal of those matches had a lot to do with the characters involved, and their personal feuds, but there was also something about the way the Era consciously embraced more adult-oriented themes and execution that cemented their impact, and their longevity among wrestling fans. Bouts were more violent, more bloody and less concerned with in-ring pageantry, and to a certain extent, a match's success was measured not only in the execution of signature moves, but in the amount of blood and sweat spilled in the process. Wonderfully for the game, WWE 13's Attitude Era will encourage players to relive those matches and those moments exactly, rewarding those who go the extra mile, rather than grinding through matches, with unlockables. The matches are being celebrated for their impact in the history of the sport, with the development team making impressive strides to knit them together with videos that contextualise the feuds and show you exactly why those matches were important to fans as well as to the overall progression of a storyline. You can see our list of the most exciting matches of the Era that we want to play here.
