WWE 2K19: 10 Potential Showcase Modes

5. Shawn Michaels: Mr. WrestleMania

The exact same could be said (perhaps even more so) for one Shawn Michaels.

Specifically, Shawn's biggest moments on the grand stage of WrestleMania would make for a gripping play through. The same spliced video packages Austin received, adding context to his most noteworthy moments, would be a welcome addition too. This is a career worth retelling.

In total, Michaels worked 17 matches at 'Mania, losing 11 and winning just six. That means 2K would have to focus on why match quality helped HBK steal the show and earn his nickname, not writing a simple run through list of his triumphs on the biggest show of the year.

Matches against Bret Hart, Diesel, Steve Austin and The Undertaker are timeless, and it'd be cool to play through earlier memories like The Rockers vs. The Barbarian and Haku from WrestleMania VII or Shawn's first showing at the event, another tag match with Marty Jannetty against The Twin Towers.
