Ten Dream Matches for WWE ’13

WWE ’13 recently released its entire 85 superstar and diva roster that includes both current superstars and wrestlers from the ‘Attitude Era,’ and you can see the entire roster reveal in the video below. The interesting roster choices include multiple versions of some wrestlers that would help create some dream matchups like we’ve never seen and will never be able to, and that got me wondering some of the best possible matches the game could create. So, I’ve compiled a list of the Ten Dream Matches I’d like to see from WWE ’13. Let’s get to the list shall we?

10. Ken Shamrock vs. Brock Lesnar

Both of these wrestlers are former UFC champions, so it only seems natural they face off in the wrestling ring where weight classes don’t apply. It should be a good one, but Brock eventually overpowers the World’s Most Dangerous Man Winner: Brock Lesnar

9. Primo vs. Mike Tyson

“Why are you in the game Mike? I dunno, why are you in the game Primo?” This is the matchup nobody wants to see–the man with only one match ever and the man who has never had one match people cared about. Winner: The concession stands as fans take care of business between good matches.

8. Heath Slater vs. X-Pac

Why this match you ask? Well, the little guys tend to put on pretty good shows when they’re matched up against decent talent, and both have held titles and are talented athletes. But it’s more about their character art in the game. How could you not want to see this match after seeing this side by side? Winner: X-Pac

7. Stephanie McMahon vs. Kharma and Beth Phoenix with Special Guest Referee John Laurinaitis

Ask any fan who the most annoying person in wrestling has been over the years, and you’ll get a variety of answers. One of the most annoying would have to be Stephanie McMahon, so of course she gets placed in a handicap match against Kharma and Beth Phoenix. Eventually the two powerful women get angry with the special guest referee and turn on him as well, because John Laurinaitis may be the only person more annoying than Steph. Winner: Kharma and Beth Phoenix

6. Big Show vs. Vader vs. The Great Khali vs. Undertaker vs. Kane vs. Mark Henry

This one is simple. Take these 6 massive athletes, stick them into the world’s largest Elimination Chamber match ever and watch them go! This match may have to take place in a closed arena, since its easy to see these giants completely tearing down the cage just to show off their power. Winner: Undertaker

 5. Brock Lesnar vs. Stone Cold

This match needs to happen simply as an apology to the fans for the abysmal match that was Brock Lesnar and Goldberg at Wrestlemania 20. Stone Cold was actually the guest referee for the match, and although fans really wanted Stone Cold and Goldberg in the match, this match could still provide a lot of entertainment with two of the best ever. Winner Stone Cold

4. Dude Love vs. Cactus Jack vs. Mankind

This is a match that has likely to happened a million times on any game the three were featured, and it’s likely to happen once again in WWE ’13. Mick Foley’s three personas in one match where only one can emerge victorious. Mankind was obviously the most popular of the three, and WWE needs to keep up their ratings, but I just wonder if WCW will try to ruin the ending of this match too. Winner: Mankind

3. Faarooq vs. JBL

I always expected to see this match when JBL was doing his whole limo riding and Purex handshakes, but it never did. Something tells me Faarooq didn’t like seeing his former Acolyte/APA tag partner turn into a prick, and this match would’ve been perfect to let his opinion on JBL’s new lifesytle known. Damn! Winner: JBL

2. Brodus Clay vs. Godfather vs. Dude Love

This match is all about swag. Each of these three wrestlers bring their own unique style to the match, and one thing is for certain–there wouldn’t be any lack of before and after match festivities, but in the end, Funkasaurus reigns supreme. Winner: Brodus Clay

1. John Cena vs. Stone Cold

Let’s face it; it’s really hard not to have a WWE main event without John Cena being involved, so that’s why he’s facing off against Stone Cold in the main event of this list. We’ve already seen Cena and The Rock, so this one only makes sense. After all, for all of the hype leading into the John Cena vs The Rock at Wrestlemania 28, the match wasn’t half bad. Winner: John Cena

Crazy Kung Fu transforms martial‑arts training into a physical rhythm game that sharpens reflexes and raises your heart rate: fast, reflex‑driven, calorie‑burning gameplay wrapped in deep moddability.

Haymaker: VR Brawling, Up Close - Authentic, physics‑first combat that turns your body into the controller. (Game Review)

Haymaker is a physics‑first VR brawler in active Early Access that prioritizes authentic, body‑driven melee and high replayability. Its core systems are already playable: weighty, physics‑based hand interactions for grabbing, grappling, and striking; gesture‑driven kicks and knees that reward full‑body motion; adaptive AI that reads and reacts to the battlefield; and sandbox encounters that encourage improvisation with props and environment. Many systems remain in prototype; levels, progression loops, and some modes are still being shaped, but the mechanical foundation is solid and satisfying. The studio is deliberately using Early Access as a development lab: player feedback will guide tuning, bug fixes, and content expansion, so the game you play now is a promising glimpse of a more polished, content‑rich brawler to come. Core systems and combat • Physics‑driven hands : Interactions are governed by a weight‑aware physics model that responds to force, angle, and momentum; so grabs, h...
