The one? He and Shawn wrestled at 25 and 26.

Many of Undertaker's matches aren't really memorable until recently. Maybe 7 as it was his first win, but then they have to get Snuka. 8, 9, 11, I doubt it. 12 and 13, possibly. Wrestlemania 14, yes. Wrestlemania 15 is a no. Since ABA Undertaker is DLC, I'm going to pass on 17 being in there. 18 maybe with Flair, a tossup. 19... haha, yea right. Possibly 20 as it is another Kane match. 21 with Orton maybe. 22, I doubt it. If they get Batista, 23 has potential. 24 I could see. 25-28 all have potential. 29, is hit or miss. I think the only match that goes on from last year is Rock/Cena given who is in it.

One I'd hope is in is the Wrestlemania X ladder match with Shawn vs. Razor. I haven't heard much on Scott Hall these days but that could be hit or miss as to if they get him in.

Hopefully many of the guys from last year carry over as it would be buyable for around $25-$30 alone if they had a good 50-60+ guys from 80's and 90's (cue goh complaining about not getting today's roster right as if today). A lot of last year's deals could have been one-off for the Attitude era mode.

That match is close to the top of my list just because I would love to have Razor in the game and maybe a nWo alternate.

TLC 2 would be great, but with the Hardyz and Dudleyz in TNA, it may be tough.

Of course, if Hogan is in, anything is possible.

I'd love to do the Triple H/Shawn Michaels/Chris Benoit match from WrestleMania 20, but there is no way that one happens.

I think we can expect at least 2 Stone Cold/The Rock matches. (Probably the one from 19 because I could see where your goal is to play as Rock and finally beat Austin)

Jericho/Michaels from 19 would be a great one.

If they can get Kurt Angle, there are some great ones available. Him and Lesnar, and him vs Michaels were both great.

Bret Hart vs Stone Cold from 13, as well as Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels at 12 can probably be expected, as both were very important matches in WWE history.

I feel pretty certain that the ladder match from WM 10 will be there.I would also love the Bret Hart vs Owen Hart match from 10, if for no other reason than to finally get Owen back in the games.

Overall, I love the idea of this mode, but I just PRAY it isn't loaded with mostly Triple H, The Rock, Hogan, and Cena. I'd also prefer for there to not be more than 5 or 6 Undertaker matches.

I already posted that you'd be hard pressed to find much more than that worth putting in.

I know that I just didn't think he would to be honest. I thought they would've been announced it fr Hogan to build some hype.

I'm guessing we get either Flair/Savage or Piper/Hart from WM 8 if they're including every WM in this mode so there are a few other probable names for the roster.

yeah, I read the post you were replying to and the post you made, and I thought I had "Like"d it, but guess not. But, I'm with you.

So many of 'Taker's early matches were brutal. It wasn't really until they started tracking his streak, that the matches really got great; and that was because they were made a focus of the show.

Of his first 10 matches, I would say the one against Kane at WrestleMania 14 was the only one that was noteworthy, and we got that in WWE '13. His matches with Sid, Bossman, Snuka, Albert & Big Show, Giant Gonzalez...horrible. His match with Flair was surprisingly good for what it was worth, and his match with Randy Orton & Bob Orton wasn't too bad. His match with Kane at WrestleMania 20 wasn't worthy of being put up there with his top matches.

But, I figure we'll probably see the following matches from Undertaker...

-Undertaker vs Triple H (WrestleMania 27)
-Undertaker vs Triple H (WrestleMania 28, Hell in a Cell)
-Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels (WrestleMania 25)
-Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels (WrestleMania 26)
-Undertaker vs Edge (Wrestlemania...25?)

after that, I guess they could include his match with Kane at 20 or his match with Flair at 18, but I don't know. Maybe his match with Batista, but I don't know where WWE stands with Batista.

If they can get Flair, I'd love to see Shawn Michaels vs Ric Flair.

45 matches, you say? Wow, this could be good. My only concern is if they are all going to take place in their proper arenas/stadiums? From Madison Square Garden in 1985 all the way until MetLife Stadium in 2013 and everything in between. That is going to be a daunting task to replicate each and every one of those venues. Anyway, if there are going to be 45 matches, these are the ones that I would put in. This is assuming you put at least one match from each year:

Okay, I know that's 50 and I left out a lot. I tried not to put more than two per card until the last two years while also putting at least one from every year. This was tough.
