Mike Tyson Confirmed for WWE '13

WWE ’13 is certainly living up to its promise of delivering the Attitude Era to the fans, as Mike Tyson, a man who was instrumental in ushering in the famous period, is now available in WWE ’13 if the much-anticipated game is pre-ordered.

Reported on the THQ website less than 24 hours ago, this huge announcement has been used to generate even more excitement for the upcoming game.

"

“But now, there’s even more reason to get excited, because when you pre-order WWE ’13, you’ll receive an exclusive playable character: Mike Tyson!”

"

I think playing as Mike Tyson will be pretty cool when it comes to making your own storylines. Having him come out with DX (if they have sorted out the stable situation) will also make having Tyson on the roster worthwhile.

"

 “With WWE ’13 you’ll be able to revisit this and other great Tyson moments, like when the former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world returned to WWE as a guest host in 2010 and squared off against another former undisputed heavyweight champion, Chris Jericho.

"Just pre-order your copy of WWE ’13 today and you’ll be able to download your own playable Mike Tyson character, decked out in a sleeveless DX t-shirt and black jeans – just like at WrestleMania XIV.”

"

Having the DX t-shirt is an excellent bit of history, but I am hoping for an alternate attire which shows him decked out in the Stone Cold Steve Austin t-shirt he revealed at WrestleMania XIV. Although, knowing THQ, I am probably hoping for way too much there.

"

“‘The baddest man on the planet is back – and only in WWE ’13,’ said Mike Tyson. ‘Fans everywhere can now relive what I experienced during the ‘Attitude Era.’”

"

I’m probably going to use him to knock out the following superstars I don’t like: Big Show, Christian, Jack Swagger and Alberto Del Rio.

Those are the top four who are going to receive a knock-out punch from the “baddest man on the planet.”

I think he is a good celebrity addition to the game, and it certainly does make a lot of sense, especially since they went with his old look.

Are you excited by this announcement?
