ESRB Summary Rating For WWE 2K14 Detailed

The Entertainment Software Rating Board has revealed its official summary for the content seen in WWE 2K14.

WWE 2K14 will be rated “Teen” and will feature blood, language, suggestive themes, alcohol and of course violence.

The official ESRB websites outlines the following for WWE 2K14:

This is a wrestling simulation game in which players can select real-world competitors from the WWE roster, compete in matches, and progress through multiple storylines. Players perform a variety of wrestling moves (e.g., grapples, holds, throws), as well as punching and kicking attacks. Sledgehammers, chairs, and tables can also be used to strike opponents; blood sometimes appears on wrestlers’ faces. Some women are depicted in outfits that expose large amounts of cleavage; female wrestlers occasionally make provocative gestures (e.g., pelvic thrusts, wiggling their buttocks in front of opponents’ faces as a taunt). During the course of the game, a handful of sequences depict/reference alcohol: a wrestler wearing a “Drink Beer” shirt and spraying his opponents with a “beer truck” hose; a wrestler drinking from beer cans. One video clip briefly depicts the word “sh*t” on a fan’s sign, and a wrestler can be seen sticking out his middle fingers.

The real-life WWE has toned down on its content banning many things that were seen in the popular “Attitude Era”. This includes blood, chairshots to the head, swear words and sexual content.

It looks like WWE 2K14 will not be “PG” and feature the many things that made the Attitude Era popular in the first place judging by the ESRB summary for the game. If you were a fan of wrestling in the late ’90s, you’ll be happy to know the game doesn’t sugarcoat that era.
