DLCs are not normalised by the fact that people buy them. You bought the game but if you want the full experience, you will lose the fullness of your wallet. Just like Skins in Fortnite or Dead by Daylight, you don’t need them; you want them. All DLCs feature better years of WWE from the Attitude Era to the Monday Night Wars, but we have decided to suggest some of the worst times in WWF/WWE history to make us all feel less comfortable.
Plane ride from Hell DLC
This DLC will feature all of the participants of the infamous 2002 plane ride from hell, including Scott Hall, Goldust, Mr Perfect Curt Hennig and Brock Lesnar. But the main event has to be Ric Flair. This will be a tribute to the days when Ric Flair was never held accountable by WWE and when Scott Hall and Curt Hennig had proven to have outlived their usefulness (hence their firing afterwards). But above all else, the Plane Ride from Hell is one of the last areas of DLC that WWE cannot exploit for extra cash.
The steroid Trial DLC
In this DLC, the wrestlers are skinnier than ever, and money is down. Ultimate Warrior looks unrecognisable. So much so, rumours circulate that Jim Hellwig died and was replaced by a new Warrior (which wasn’t true). This DLC will be miserable, fan reaction will be down no matter what happens, and Bret Hart will be replaced by anyone who has a bit of roidless bulk and doesn’t look nervous on the mic. You win the DLC by surviving the paycuts and the lower fan reactions. You put up with celebrities and footballers in your Pay-Per-View main events.
Montreal Screwjob DLC
This is the DLC that will feature everyone from Jim Cornette, Vince Russo, Bruce Prichard, Pat Patterson and Gerald Briscoe. We will have Cornette ranting and raving while Briscoe, Vince McMahon and Hebner do their best to make sure Shawn Michaels is prepped for the biggest controversy inside the ring. It is the story that has been done to death, but the anti-Bret Hart mob will no doubt derive a lot of joy, and the Bret Hart fans will play this as we plan to run this with Hart as the hero.
Getting home from Saudi DLC
This DLC will feature you as a WWE agent trying to get the wrestlers stuck in Saudi Arabia home. Based on the real-life events (which are disputed) but nonetheless we have a story here that can play out. Sometimes, you just need to wait on the bosses to sort these things out while you keep the talent calm on the runway and avoid them getting into any trouble that could damage the partnership keeping the company awash with cash.
WWE Talent Relations and HR DLC
Live through all the legendary legal and human resource hell in WWE history form Nailz attracting Vince McMahon, to Jerry Lawler and the Kat leaving in 2001. We can also feature the wellness programme and the many wrestlers sent to rehab. Yokozuna goes to fat camp and comes back worse. It never stops in Talent Relations and you can play as Jim Ross, Brice Prichard or Johnny Ace Laurinaitis and many others.
The ‘That doesn’t work for me, Brother DLC’
This DLC will feature the many storylines in which Hulk Hogan exerts his creative control over a match or angle in WWE and WCW. If it doesn’t work for Hulk Hogan, it doesn’t for you, either, brother. We know that Jeff Jerrett is not going over. We know that Bret Hart is not getting his shot at Summerslam 93 and you can be sure that the fast count on Sting will not be a fast count at Starcade 97.
DLCs are still the gift that keeps on giving
These DLCs are the gift that keeps giving (WWE more money) but we have only scratched the surface. What about a Jerry McDevitt mode for all the talent that has sued WWE over the years? We could even keep Scott Steiner out of the Hall of Fame DLC. WWE has so many skelathons, there can be a new idea per week.
