WWE 2K19: 10 Biggest Innovations We Need To See

3. Camera Men & Other Staff Around Ringside

Watch any WWE broadcast and you're likely to see a large group of people gathered around ringside. The cameramen (and other runners, photographers and production staff) often do an admirable job of staying off screen or away from the action, but they're still present. Is it too much to ask that they're in the video games?

Nope, it isn't.

Picture this: you're embroiled in a No Holds Barred brawl with Randy Orton as John Cena. Suddenly, the camera man gets a little too close for comfort and, as the scene pans to a wide shot, you grab his expensive device and smash Orton in the noggin with it.

Or, how about accidentally hitting one of those photographers leaning over the ring apron for that perfect shot? It's these kinds of minuscule details that help bring games to life and allow gamers to bury themselves in the game world.

Even if most of them scatter like untouchable pedestrians in the original Driver, at least it'd be a start.
