Daniel Bryan recently spoke to TheNational.ae in Abu Dhabi about WWE 2K16 and more. During the interview Bryan was asked about Steve Austin being on the cover of WWE 2K16 and you can see his response below.
“It is interesting because I see it two ways. I see maybe people who don’t watch it anymore, who were big fans in the Attitude Era, which was the most popular time in wrestling. It would appeal to people who may not be watching the current product, but would be interested in the video game. One of the things I think it shows is that we have not really created enough new stars, to where we put new stars on the front of the video game, so that should be the overall bigger concern. We need to not just rely on people from the past. There is almost this mentality these stars are bigger than the current stars, and they keep going with the mentality when the guys now are every bit as good as the guys from before, it is just they need to be given the platform.”
Maybe that’s because they refuse to really push the guys that get pops now in favor of 1 freaking guy. The Attitude Era stars & before continue to get bigger pops than any guy they have on the roster now. But they waste talent like Owens, Bray, Dolph, etc…
