The Undertaker's Outfit Looks Awfully Familiar
Sign that I might be too obsessed with WWE and Assassin's Creed: I think the Undertaker is cosplaying as an Assassin's Creed character these days. Seriously, how did I not notice this before? Or am I just imagining things now?

Twenty-five years ago my best friend and I set up a wrestling ring in my basement—four barstools for the turnbuckles, some old mattresses for the canvas. The actual wrestling we did was hesitant, unplanned and uncompelling. But man, the stuff we did out of the ring makes me smile to this day.

The best thing 2K Sports has done for pro wrestling games so far is assemble this incredible panel consisting of Jim Ross, Dolph Ziggler, Daniel Bryan (he was robbed last night!), Rey Mysterio, Steve Austin, Paul Heyman, Mick Foley and a seemingly intoxicated Ric Flair.

When it announced a special campaign mode this week, WWE 2K14 hinted the game's roster would be the largest ever by virtue of the fact more than 45 classic bouts would be featured in "30 Years of Wrestlemania." The question was how many wrestlers would be making repeat appearances to fill out that card.
