Sometimes, I wonder which criteria the WWE design and promotional staff apply to choose who will represent the whole company on their products. With this being said: no, I am not a happy camper with the choice they made for the new WWE 2K15 game!
I could rant now, how Cena is always used as some sort of safe choice, but I don't even care that the WWE (ab)uses him as their reference material numero uno any more. I am ranting that other people are much more deserving of this in my eyes.
No, I am not denying that John Cena does a lot for the company given his dedication and the number of merch he sells, but wrestling wise, there are others that deserve this spot on the cover a lot more.
- Daniel Bryan, who had been on the fans choice cover of WWE 2K14, for example. The so-called Submission Specialist always gives 150% in the ring, and only misfortune is to blame for him not being the champion and face of the WWE right now!
- Another safe and deserving choice should be Bray Wyatt, who brought the macabre back into the ring and manages to get everyone off their seat with his strange yet rousing promos. A darker variation of the cover with the leader of the Wyatt Family on top would have been appreciated by many!
- Last but not least: The Shield. Together, separate, I don't care - The Shield was one of the most (if not the) dominant forces of the WWE over the past year, and even after their split, the former members of the "squat" keep fascinating the audience and standing their ground.
And don't get me started on the new WWE Logo for the game - it looks so child-friendly and plain...
