WWE 2K14, the last game-changing title for WWE video games prior to WWE 2K19's release five years thereafter, had a strange roster. Everyone from aimless mid-2010s goobers like Ryback and Santino Marella to retro versions of the Big Show and Curt Hennig was included, with that year's 30 Years of WrestleMania mode paving the way for 2K Showcase.

Included within the mode were key matches from every WrestleMania up to and including 'Mania XXIX. Limitations were in effect sadly; there was no option of a Triangle TLC match for WrestleMania X-Seven's classic, but the Rock vs. 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin was a suitable alternative.

For the first 'Show of Shows', there's not exactly much scope to choose from. No real highlights outside of the headliner and 2K weren't forking out the royalties for Mr T quite yet. Instead, players were "treated" to a recreation of Andre The Giant and Big John Studd's Bodyslam Challenge, marking Studd's first WWE games appearance since the criminally underrated Legends of WrestleMania from March 2009.

He's not been back since, instead being restricted to mobile games, but at least those luscious locks made the 2K14 roster.
