As with most sports series, the annual installments of WWE 2K can start to feel all too similar. However, Visual Concepts proved it's willing to shake things up with yesterday's surprise announcement that the Terminator is entering the ring. With Arnold Schwarzenegger upping the competition, we dreamed up 10 more iconic action heroes that Visual Concepts should include to even the odds.
Sylvester Stallone (circa Rambo)
There's only one action hero with as much gravitas as the Govenator, and that's Sly Stallone. While the meat-mouthed actor's role as Rocky Balboa would make the cleanest transition to the squared circle, if he's going to take down a killer robot, he'll have to go full-on Rambo. After all, the renegade war hero has single-handedly slaughtered entire platoons of enemy combatants – he's as much of a Terminator as any time-traveling mechanical assassin. Naturally, Rambo would have his own suite of signature moves that players could perform, such as slitting an opponents' throats from behind with his giant survival knife and firing his machine gun while his muscles jiggle in slow motion. He could even use his explosive arrows to blow up morons in the crowd that bring huge cardboard cutouts of their own stupid heads.
Kurt Russell (circa Big Trouble In Little China)
While not quite as big as Schwarzenegger or Stallone, Kurt Russell epitomizes the cool '80s action star. His stint as big-rig-driver-turned-hero Jack Burton is an obvious fit for professional wrestling – he's cocky, he can punch and shoot his way through an endless stream of enemies, and he has a nonsensical-yet-hilarious one-liner for every occasion. His signature moves could include making his opponent's head inflate until it explodes and shooting giant chunks of concrete out of the ceiling and knocking himself out. Everyone knows Jack Burton has paid his dues, so let him fight, already!
Jet Li (circa The Legend)
EA already snatched up the rights to Bruce Lee's likeness for its UFC series, but Jet Li is a more tantalizing proposition anyway. His portrayal of Chinese folk hero Fong Sai-yuk takes martial arts mastery to mystical levels – he could easily flit above Arnold's lead-footed attacks, and would have no problem tackling multiple opponents at a time. His signature moves include kicking tables into precarious towers and balancing on them, slicing up his enemies with a dozen different swords – while blindfolded! – and having multiple wives without seeming like a bad guy.
Bruce Willis (circa Die Hard)
Let's be real: The Terminator ain't got sh-- on John McClane. The New York super cop started off defending Nakatomi Plaza building from just a handful of terrorists, but since then he's driven a car into a flying helicopter, surfed on the back of a jet, driven a car out of a flying helicopter, and gone to Chernobyl...for some reason. For his inclusion in WWE 2K16, however, I'd go with classic McClane – his signature move would be having bloody feet, which would leave smears everywhere the player walks and allow him to slide into characters for devastating low strikes. He'd also yell, "Yippee ki-yay, mother f---er" every time he defeats an opponent, because he once made a reference to Roy Rogers and now he's doomed to keep repeating it like a broken record for some reason.
