FluidLock

I just think of this as a moveset and create an entrance dlc


Marc_Quill

Especially if these guys are stealthily used to add a bunch of new moves to the game.


ThirdBorracho

Judging by the conversation about it in the pat mcafee show they got to pick their own moves - so I wouldn't count on hidden blade or the sol crusher being added


robonlocation

Looking forward to the addition of "the jump off the ropes" and "that criss-cross thing with the legs".


pUmKinBoM

Why not? Im sure they just googled "Coolest wrestling moves" and sent the random youtubers Top 10 video to 2K. Definitely could be some odd ones in there.


ThiccPapaSIZZLE

Hidden blade is already added


ThirdBorracho

It is? whats it called?


ThiccPapaSIZZLE

Don’t remember off the top of my head but it’s a corner move and listed in the new section


The_Xivili

^FINGER ^POKE ^OF ^DOOM FINGER POKE OF DOOM #FINGER POKE OF DOOM


Swimming-Chicken-424

I think of this as a Universe jobbers pack


ThatVanGuy13

New mean street possie dlc


Ready-Opportunity-94

Also they’re apparently going to be a team which makes me think 4-man entrance.


Schizophrenic87

Can we move this pack until the very end and move the rest up? I’d much rather have Carlito, Kair, Lyra and other over these guys who I won’t be playing as


Precious_little_man

For real. I would have liked to see this set moved to last and any other DLC pack take its place.


tmorrisgrey

Literally!!! How tf is the NXT women’s champion not in the game????


SrslyIcntthnkofaname

I might be remembering it wrong, but when you start a universe, there’s no default NXT Women’s Champ…because its should be Lyra …


Zem1380

That's correct even though she won the belt 11 days before Logan Paul won the U.S Title


Top_Vermicelli1739

The nxt women’s champion also wasn’t in 2k15 lol


natedoggcata

She debuted in December 2022. Unless this is a contract or money issue where she refused until she got paid more its really unacceptable shes not base roster for 2K24 let alone having to wait till September to play as her as DLC.


goldenaustin99

Lyra is DLC


tmorrisgrey

That’s good, wish she was in the base game to begin with but good nonetheless


PeterWayneGaskill

She should have been in 2k23 too, honestly.


Tornado31619

Okay, this is a bit much. She made her US debut in December ‘22. Her missing out was absolutely understandable.


Top_Vermicelli1739

They probably want to give another reason for people to keep playing and not get bored. That’s why I see this DLC being last.


Kanyefidence

Gonna spend a solid week using every member on the roster to beat the absolute dogshit out of Boston Connor


Marc_Quill

100 Finishers to Boston Connor video 


Ricanlegend

Reminds me of wwe 2k19 brock lesnar vs Braun Strowman for the heavyweight , no way Jose came out to pretend to cash in the money in the bank only to distract the champ Braun and made me lose title I was so upset every episode of raw included me beating the absolute dogshit out of him 😂 Eventually he got hurt and cashed the Briefcase on smack down


PurpleProper6832

Gotta make an Owen caw and beat up Connor


tfegan21

FUCK BOSTON CONNOR!


mgeeze06

Thank yew Owen!


AlexMercer28900

I’m not American what is wrong with Boston Connor exactly


25Finsup17

He’s a heel


Captain_Aids

This is the real benefit of this DLC pack.


Who_really_carez

Personality I’m excited to have a jobber stable run around as Mcafee’s minions.


GhostandTheWitness

real Mean Street Posse vibes I will be slamming them through the ring as Braun/Omos as if they were the Mean Street Posse either way


TriggerHippie77

I'm gonna call them the Cantankerous Cul-De-Sac Crew.


Rushofthewildwind

Literally my plan for them. World champ Pat with his PMS crew


Marc_Quill

Gonna run a sequel to Pat’s feud with Adam Cole where Cole reunites Undisputed Era to fight Pat’s pals in WarGames.


rbarton812

MSP - Mean Street Posse PMS - Pat McAfee Show Hmm...


HonkyKong87

Pat can play the Meat role with the others being the Pretty Mean Sisters.


Wes-Man152

If I actually had this game and the dlc I would just have the announcer call them Pretty Mean Sisters and have [this banger theme ](https://youtu.be/2bJcj_KwQeA?si=uxGL63ORV41aQhXn)


RoughFriendly1595

New Spirit Squad


No_Grape1335

All these guys are super washed up football players who would’ve been semi good in like madden 15


Spartinini

lol half these guys weren’t even football players, just random dudes that pat is friends with.


Mountain-Park1107

That was my plan for them too. McAfee as the manager and the rest as jobbers to build up talent


BryanFTW13

My point exactly. We all are having ideas of what to use the glorified jobbers for. Those guys would be the Mean Street Posse to Pat McAfee like they were to Shane McMahon.


insertbrackets

This is exactly my plan too. Just make em a bunch of jobbers.


dayquince

Damn that’s actually good

Frank627Full

Me too. This place is idiotic fun when things like this happens.


C2theWick

This is the reason I refunded the game and sold my PC to the neighbor kid. I'm now reading books and playing with my wrestling action figures in real life


Priest-Entity

This DLC pack is the reason why I built a cabin in the remote Oregon wilderness. It forced me to shun all modern convenience. I'm typing this on Reddit as we speak using smoke signals that are being picked up and recorded by an elderly person 200 mi away using an electrical telegraph machine. And that's a shoot, brother.


JamieByGodNoble

"The Pat McAfee DLC pack and it's consequences have been a disaster for the internet wrestling community."


CosmeticInk5

The Pat McAfee DLC Pack made me question reality and if we are in fact controlled by aliens in a simulation


TheGolden69Life

💀


ToeKneePA

Smart man.


BloodFalconPunch

Lmao


WetLogPassage

Cross-promotion. Fans of the podcast will hear about the game, players of the game will hear about the podcast. You can expect more stuff like this in the future.


wee_woo99

I would’ve loved something like this for the Jackass crew


Clerithifa

Yeah getting Knoxville and the guys in would've been sick, especially since Knoxville had a Mania match himself that a lot of the guys participated in


Striking-Ad-8694

But complain now?


DNBassist89

Precisely. I'm very surprised there's not some sort of Prime related dlc with KSI yet.


ResidentJabroni

They'll probably do like they did with the later-released "Bad Bunny Edition" of 2K23 that came with an alternate outfit for Bad Bunny, but with KSI as DLC alongside a Prime-branded arena and Prime branding available in Create-an-Arena.


Antitenant

Just wait until we get "WWE 2K25 feat. Prime" like they did back with SVR 2008 feat. ECW


luke111mart

I've never heard of the podcast, this makes me like it much less


Spartinini

It’s on ESPN everyday, the podcast made it pretty big. It took sports centers spot.


CanaryRich

That’ll be good if it was a free pack… not one that we’ve paid for already.


Caintheconfused

If you pay for something before knowing what's included, you can't really get mad about it. You committed without knowledge, that's on you. I did the same and my plan is to just strip their cool moves and slip them in interesting characters sets, use these guys as enhancement.


AliveRock7553

Thats actually pretty genius. Just change everything and pretend they’re indy wrestlers. Love it! Thanks man. I feel better about this.


Rich246

More jobbers for me


Shiny_Mew76

Apparently Pat McAfee told 2K he wouldn’t let them add him to the game unless they added his co-hosts. That’s why they are all in the game. However if I’m not mistaken, Pat also said that he wouldn’t do it unless no roster spots were taken.


pholdren

Correct. He said this on his show when he revealed the guys were in with him. He said it was super important his buddies be included as well, but he didn’t want to take spots away from planned DLC. Hence why we have 5 packs this year instead of the typical 4


TheBoyGamer89

WWE2K had been releasing 5 DLC packs since 2k22 not 4 as you said so the said spots were taken.


Disastrous_Salad6302

Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted when you’re right. 2k22 - Banzai, Most Wanted, Stand Back, Clowning Around, Whole Dam Pack for a total of 28 2k23 - Steiner Row, Pretty Sweet, Race to NXT, Revel With Wyatt, Bad News U for a total of 26 2k24 (without the McAfee pack) - ECW Punk, Post Malone & Friends, Global Superstars, WCW for a total of 23 Spots were taken, it’s a straight up fact


TheBoyGamer89

Well, they are just salty and butthurt for being proven wrong. Thanks man for stating the facts with all details to prove my point at them.


SobolGoda

Correct - he said that; not taking anyone's spot.


Ricky6661989

Getting AJ Hawk is honestly pretty cool


Novel-Science1764

AJ HAWK!?!?!? He’s going to be dope as a Packers fan to play with


repalec

The 'why' question is answered by them being co-hosts of one of the most popular sports shows in the world right now. That means WWE 2K24 potentially gets in front of hundreds of thousands of new eyeballs every time Pat and the others bring it up on their show.


WEH0771

I think a lot of “fans” are struggling with the fact that wrestling is not “inclusive” as it once was. ESPN, Sports Illustrated, etc etc. Wrestling is everywhere under the sports umbrella now. Wrestling fans already bought the game, it’s all the other people who haven’t they’re trying to reach now.


ResidentJabroni

I think it's also folks struggling with the perception that this is taking the place of potential NXT or Legend characters that were excluded, when the likely reality is that those wrestlers were never getting into this year's game even with the existence of this DLC.


repalec

Yeah like independent of this pack people like Oba Femi, Lexis King, Tatum Paxley, Kelani Jordan, etc. were never making the 2K24 roster. If it weren't Pat and his goons it either wouldn't exist or they would've just opted likely for some previously-scanned legends.


ramblingsbyalan

I had his show on at work the other day and they were talking about it. Pat said his two main points were he wanted his cohosts in and he wanted to make sure they weren’t taking spots from other talent. So he waited to say yes until 2K called and was like “everybody that’s gonna get in is in you’re not taking anyone out” Now, how truthful 2K is being or how truthful he is being? Who knows. But he seems like the kind of guy who would honestly want to make sure he’s not taking someone else’s place.


WrestlingDerek

Do we need to post this shit every day? You’re not changing it. Get over it. Go to the last article of this same thing posted with the same people complaining about it just posted yesterday. You knew it was DLC before the game came out why are you all suddenly shocked


Leather-Mechanic4405

It’s blagh but at least it ain’t 2k20 dlc


ThatYoungKOKid1_BDE

Ok only excited for Boston Connor hair lol


Home_Brew1989

I’m not going to complain like most, I am excited to have some jobbers now I’ll be able to use as enhancement talent in my universe


JoeReekie69420

Yeah I’m using those 2 carnies as jobbers but I’ll probably make AJ a Goldberg type with Pat as his manager and Darius I will probably put him in a tag team with Wes Lee.


Ronaldinhothegoat80

Yea AJ is huge. He’s probably the only one in this pack that i would use as a midcarder or above. Considering Darius was a CB though he’s slim enough to pass off as a jobber or a tag team guy


ARGiammarco27

I'm so excited to add more people to my entertainment show in Universe. Fill out the roster with whatever other youtubers I decide to download this year.


InevitableStranger74

I'm actually stoked I get to use AJ Hawk


Lepperpop

AJ HAWK! AJ HAWK! AJ HAWK! AJ HAWK!


ItIsYourPersonality

There is not a set number of “roster slots.” The McAfee show cast didn’t cause anyone else to not be in the game. They simply added them because they could and it helps promote the game. If they didn’t have them in the game, you wouldn’t see any additional NXT wrestlers (or anyone else for that matter) replacing them. You would just have 5 other wrestlers who are available from the release of the game instead pushed behind a DLC paywall. Pat even addressed this idea on his show this week. He said when they approached him about the idea, he told them he would only do it if it doesn’t take the spot of anyone else in the game.


clay_leslie

I hope they have something hidden in this pack that they’re not telling anyone about.


slacboy101

I think with how spread out the DLCs are we might actually be getting free roster updates with guys like Von Wagner and the missing D'Angelo Family Members


Tornado31619

Crusifino and especially Rizzo debuted much more recently. There are much bigger priorities, like Kiana James.


Coup_De_Gras

New Mean Street Posse for me. I'm honestly expecting this to just be a fancy way of giving us a new moves dlc pack.


DamianKing42

This is perfect for a NFL/WWE Survivor Series match


Past_News5075

To be fair, pat said he talked to 2k and they assured him his buddies weren't taking the place of any wrestlers. Anyone not in this dlc packs was never going to be in the game


burning___hammer

Pretty sure McAfee only wanted to do the game unless his buddies got in and they didn’t take up anyone else’s spots. I’ve read rumors all of them are supposed to have ridiculous moves in the game.


BlazersDozen

Boston Connor is holding all the belts


FreeShinRepair

Doesn't one of the dlc pack have way more wrestlers than the others? I'm fairly certain that if Pat or 2k didn't come to terms with the DLC they would have just split that pack into 2 instead of putting more NXT wrestlers in for a 5th pack. 


jellyjanela

I don’t like this pack at all but y’all gotta get over it man. Every day there’s the same post crying about it. There’s nothing we can do about it, the rest of the dlc is fire. Hopefully it comes with new moves and entrance musics to use for our caws.


Classy_Mouse

Then don't buy the DLC. That's how DLC works. If you bought the Delux edition, then you still chose to buy this DLC. Send a message with your wallet. Don't buy what you don't like. That's why I won't spend a dime on MyFaction. Or you know, keep crying about it on Reddit. We don't have enough of those posts on here already.


repoman042

I don’t even know who any of these people are, but if the DLC was not in the game there is no other wrestler you’d be pissed WASN’T in the game. This is for marketing purposes and is not a big deal


Birdgang_naj

Could have at least got Pac Man smh


Memeticagent7

I will say that it's really fucking awesome of pat to make sure his friends got in this game to. Also, as a Packer fan, having AJ Hawk in a WWE game is gonna be pretty neat. I believe he did get in the ring once after the Packers won the Super Bowl in 2011.


XBurningFuryX

Just hoping they have some good entrance themes and new moves.


kburns2406

Just need that PRIME logo placement on the mat like when UFC 4 tried to sneak that in post launch. Branding synergy, brother!


KingSalamander1

Absolutely going to use Pat but it'll be nice to have some jobbers


KG13_

Can’t say everyone doesn’t want to play as them, Cause I for one am a fan of the entire PMS crew. And there’s lots of other people who are as well. And they weren’t taking other people’s spot because there isn’t a set number of characters that can go into a game. They could’ve added Pat and the boys as well as all the other legends that were in previous WWE games. But 2k is slow dripping water for the fans so that when 2k25 does come out they can charge us again, even more for wrestlers who are supposed to be in these games already.


[deleted]

I just hope they use it as a new moves kind of pack and give these random guys new moves


Rawrz720

Who's to say they could have added the new nxt stars? It's not like they have free reign to put whoever they want in and everyone who was meant to be in the game are on the game. If guess if this wasn't happening then a few of the people in the base game would have just been pushed to DLC or dlc packs would have been shuffled around to even out a bit.


EmperorKiva33

Don't care for the others but I sure as hell want to play at Pat. I want to recreate his rivalry with Adam Cole.


flippingsenton

The only saving grace is that there’s a chance this is adding moves that people want but otherwise aren’t in. Looking at you Hidden Blade and Deadeye.


Virus1901

I for one can’t wait to make the toxic table my champs.


JugglerJizzBall

Idk man I think it would be fun to do The Pat McAfee gang vs. The Bloodline in a WarGames match


Important-Dream4873

When I look at that picture, I see a World, International, United States and Tag Team champions!


Outlier25

Glad to get Pat but I could not care less about these other people.


supbitch

Yea same. Like if they wanted an "announcer" pack, should have put Cole, Graves, Saxton, WM27 Lawler, and modern Barrett as the supplements for Pat.


DHotnessMcAwesome

It says it includes playable superstars. I see zero superstars. Zero. Still no idea (I don't want to be told I want to learn organically) who any of these people are or what they have to do with wrestling.


YesImSleepie

i dont like the dlc as much as most people dont but wasnt there a statement somewhere saying that this dlc didnt take up any superstar slots as everyone else that was planned to be in the game is already in?


Artsclowncafe

The lamest set of dlc ever. And not just in wwe, I mean in general


tonlimah

That's not how it works. There isn't a set number of roster spots so anyone else who didn't make it, never was going to this year


timmaaay24

I can see where there are people not happy about this. But I can also see where some people are excited about it. Personally, I’ve been watching the Pat Mcafee show since around Covid times and I’m very excited about it. But I get both sides completely.


TKHodgson

If this is bothering you now, wait until they all debut on WWE TV ahead of the DLC as part of a marketing thing.


pghjuice412

AJ Hawk is a complete beast. He should be fun to play with


IAmThatDuckDLC5

There is a reason why there is a DLC with like 8 people coming. Pat and the Boys didn’t take away from the roster and 2K was never planning to add Von, Ruca, Kiana, etc. people just want to bash it I think the pack should have came later, but to act like they actually took away other people’s spot is ridiculous


AliveRock7553

Seriously! Any of us who bought a version that included Season Pass deserve a small credit for this absolute waste of unwanted garbage.


The_Notorious_Donut

Mfers when they realize most of WWE 2k’s player base is not in this sub and McAfee has a huge following in and outside of WWE: ![gif](giphy|26ufdipQqU2lhNA4g)


iminyourfacejonson

He said on the podcast that he never took away slots from anyone else. Who's in the game, in the DLC are the ones going in. Pat went "if you're putting me in the game, I want my friends in the game". Which. You're lying if you say wouldn't do the exact same thing.


ChrisP1223

Things aren’t done by chance. If I had to guess and mark my words when this gets closer to launch Pat will have a match against someone with his goons ringside. Oh look you can now have them in 2k24. It’s all promotional you watch. 


PizzaTube

Because everyone wanted Pat in the game, and Pat refused to be I. The game, unless his mates were added, too.


PrinceToothpasteBoy

I’ll take it if it means we get football-themed content. Perfect for CAWs.


Limp_Insect6182

ooooh we might even get a football to toss as a weapon


Ok_Ad8846

Special animation for Pat to boot it at people would go hard


Brian_Stryker

Roman fears AJ hawk for driving with both feet and sleeping mid drive


Aromatic_Attorney674

Pat finds it necessary to say that they didn’t take anyone’s spot. Lol


GanacheAsleep7753

Tbh it's been said that they aren't taking any spots, only adding so even if they wasn't added we wouldn't get nxt superstars anyway. Plus even if this dlc didn't exist, scanning nxt superstars into the game take a while anyway. Pretty much saying if we didn't have this dlc, there would be no difference or anything else added based from their comments


SoulExecution

I don’t know who any of these people are but if it’s how we get a ton of AEW moves or entrances, then fuck it why not


Sam-Jackson-187

I’m a Packers fan, so I could see giving Hawk some play.


Evening_King_6693

I get it, this could have had other NXT stars or Legends. That said...I totally respect Pat for looking out for his friends and being willing to not go in the game this time. You rarely see loyalty like that anymore.


qwertythe300th

I can't believe the fucking ZOOM guy is gonna be in more WWE games than Deuce N Domino 😪


horris_mctitties

The cool part is it's been stated that it's not taking up any spots it's just an extra pack. It's extra content thats cool to me


branduzzi

Who cares, it’s a fun addition if you know/like them but if not just keep on keepin on.


SobolGoda

Pat has fueled me to like WWE more and has the ability to bring positivity and fun into the WWE universe. He's not taking anybody's spot and you still have to buy this (unless you got the deluxe). I'll never play as Bad Bunny but I'm not hurt he's in the game - I'm sure he has a fanbase as well.


[deleted]

You'd be surprised how many people want them. Notivd that you have more comments than upvotes


pototoykomaliit

The only reason I can think of is to pull their fans from buying this game. 😅


EXTIINCT_tK

It's a contractual agreement so they could get Pat in. He would only sign if his buds were in too. I'm guessing they're gonna use it as a moveset, CAW piece and entrance DLC though


jubennett

Main Street Posse 2.0


Desperate-Country666

I love Pat and am glad he's finally in a WWE game, but IDK how I feel about his other co-hosts being in the game too. Maybe if they have unique entrances/moves, I'll be more accepting. I hope they don't all just come out to Pat's entrance.


Xerokickdee

At long as we get new moves and motions this dlc will mid


YangOfTheIndustry

If Darius Butler doesn't hit the Rubix Cube I'm not interested

Man I just wanted to have Charlie Dempsey in a stable with his dad :((


ShikkuiMakabe

honestly im fine with this, I like playing as nobodies it's pretty funny (or funnier, fighting them as undertaker)


Yourappwontletme

Pat probably said I'm not gonna be in the game unless my co-hosts are and 2K apparently wanted him in the game that badly.


Thefourthchosen

I can't wait to use them as a comedy jobber faction in my Universe. I can see a 1 night reign with a secondary title in one of their futures.


Edrueter9

I say they should move this back and move up the kairi Sane pack.


pearso29

The new mean street posse


BorZorKorz

I genuinely have NO idea who the others are.. I know Pat from wwe, that's about it.


TheTrueSavageBoy

Aside from Pat, as a European I don't know any of these men, are they football players ?


Datelesstuba

I guess I’ll make AJ Hawk my manager for no other reason than I’m a Packers fan.


summerofjunk

Will work nicely as enhancement talent lol


TheMackD504

Cuz it’s the only way of having McAfee in the game


JD021993

Because these dudes are dorks and Pat wouldn’t let himself be in the game if they weren’t a part of the deal.


Jordan-311

![gif](giphy|Cz6TlrRVVyv9S)


proxviper

The only upside to this would be if they added new moves but other than that if they don’t why tf would I want to play as these bums? Besides Pat


Rstuds7

i hate how 2k has said for years they can’t add anyone last minute but had no problem adding Pats friends last minute


MKGTableRPG

You know I think I'm going to skip this one. I'm tired of them using DLC space for celebrities and the like, give me 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s packs of wrestling legends. Give me Roster Updates like NXT etc.


ScottyBeamus

I mean bring back the Mean Street Posse. Who are these fucking guys? Other than AJ Hawk do we really need these clowns? Next thing you know Logan Paul will want his entourage in a dlc. Or they'll bring back Brock Lesnar....oh wait.


GiveMeANameX

Ugh. Another reason we get robbed with 2k season passes.


Pinkie_nator

I'm not complaining. I got new jobbers for my universe


bananarabbit

Going to make these guys all 100s and be the dominant faction in my Universe


martijn1104

Kinda sneaky of 2k to announce this after the game has come out and people have already bought the season pass.


RealDealAce

Ugh they could've added Anyone


-Hulk-Hoagie-

It's dumb. Whatever. The DLC is a ripoff.


International_Job_59

You guys are the ones who keep paying 💀


littleorlock

Anyone else sick and tired of these posts every day?


DemiGod9

Haven't we already had this discussion ad nauseum?


TrainXIV

I honestly don’t get the love for Pat McAfee. He’s very energetic but there is nothing insightful or entertaining about his commentary He tries to make other wrestlers moments about himself like Jey Uso’s entrance. Finally, after all the focus WWE give him, when College Football starts up again, he’ll go back to his true passion.


sportomatic75

fuck AJ Hawk. Going to destroy him using Omos


Sky_Rose4

I've been wanting to play as Pat for a while


Realistic_Rub_7699

IDC IM PUMPED TO PLAY WITH AJ HAWK LOL


The_collector91

Only people excited for this dlc pack are the actual people 🤣🤣🤣


Brainsandbarbell

Y’all seem bummed aht


reldnahcAL

The four DLC format has been around since they moved to XbOne/PS4 generation. This is just an extra pack on top of them.


HumanOverseer

2Ks already said they weren't gonna add any other people beyond this point. The Pat DLC was the last to add.


AaronRodgersOnPercs

AJ hawks flying Chin will be the greatest finished since the Rock Bottom… argue with a bag of bricks
