WWE 2K18 Early Wishlist: 11 Things Fans Want To See
2. Kurt Angle Showcase Mode
It was hugely disappointing that 2K17's originally planned Brock Lesnar-starring 2K Showcase mode was ultimately abandoned due to issues acquiring the legal clearances for some of Lesnar's more iconic past opponents.
Well, with persistent rumours that Kurt Angle might be making some sort of a WWE return in the near-future (likely in a managerial/GM/personality capacity), why not make him 2K18's cover athlete and star of the game's hopefully-restored Showcase?
Angle's storied career speaks for itself and would be pure mark wish fulfillment for just about any wrestling fan worth their salt, and that it would almost certainly lead to him doing an actual WWE stint would be the icing on a very delicious cake.
Given the prior successes of the Showcase, as well as the trend for legendary cover athletes to then appear on WWE programming (Warrior, Sting and Goldberg), this would be a huge way to bolster those precious pre-order numbers.
