WHERE IS NICKY CROSS IN 2K19 AM I BLIND OR SHE NOT IN 2K19

From here: gamesradar.com/wwe-2k19-dlc-guide/

"Surprisingly, however, it’s also cut three wrestlers currently under contract to WWE and who were in last year’s game: Tommaso Ciampa, Nikki Cross, and Brian Kendrick."

So... She's not in.

[Ognishi]

That suck, one of the dlc do have tommaso i think

[Zeokage]

No, Ciampa isn't in the game either. The Brian Kendrick and Buddy Murphy are the other higher profile wrestlers who aren't in the game.

watch this it was common knowledge over 3 months ago

a lot of the lower level WWE wrestlers decided they wanted bigger paychecks or they wouldnt sign and be in the game, I guess next time they will think again.

now to put this in perspective according to Mick Foley they get paid between $2000 and $20000 for thier appearance in a game.


Ciampa isn't in the game by choice his reason stated on an interview was that people would create matches just to make him lose and Ciampa does not lose!

[Zeokage]

While the video makes sense and could be true, those aren't the official reasons from 2K about those specific people.

Reasons for not being in the game have been gleaned over time and simply assigned to them. I haven't seen the referenced Ciampa interview, but that sounds more like something in character than a serious reason for declining to be in the game.

wait I thought Buddy Murphy left or got Release from wwe

[Apathy]

She's one of the wrestlers who refused to be in the game due to pay disputes for the game. She, Ciampa, Murphy, and Kendrick are the most noticable but there are probably others.

He's the cruiserweight champion over on 205 Live.

I dont know how 2k series can sustain this massive roster if the wrestlers only get more famous each year and go up in license value. Some will need to get cut which is a shame.

I'm honestly surprised they're not all being buried for refusing to be in the game.

If I was running the 2k licensing business. I would have promoted a long term 2k contract with Nikki Cross for the next 6 games in the series like now. Regardless of whether she stays with WWE or not. $2000 x 6 years = $12000. Versus if she gets famous $20000 x 6.

in a buisness where public attitudes can make or break a career its a bad idea to take yourself out of the public eye.
