WWE 2K19: 10 Potential Showcase Modes

8. The Monday Night Wars

The Attitude Era mode in WWE '13 wasn't strictly a Showcase, though it did follow the same sort of timeline format. It also (rather unfortunately) glossed over what was happening on the other side of the fence in WCW, and that meant fans didn't get the full story on why Attitude was so crucial.

2K19 could easily put that right by including a Monday Night Wars Mode that shows how WCW dominated for 83 straight weeks with Nitro before struggling to keep up with WWE's rampant march back towards the top of the industry.

In the process, it'd allow players to live through some of the most notable Monday night battles between both sides.

Picture this: on one channel, Stone Cold is running riot against Mr. McMahon. Then, a "Meanwhile" message flashes on screen and shows Goldberg about to challenge Hollywood Hogan for the WCW World Title in the Georgia Dome. That's the kind of back-and-forth comparison this mode would need.
