#3 Create-A-Show that creates an actual virtual wrestling company

The WWE 2K games - and, actually, wrestling video games in general - have always set the standard for gaming creation modes. Games like Skyrim, and other RPGs with character creation modes, using elements that were first introduced in wrestling games released back in the days of the original PlayStation. Since then, it's not unusual to read positive remarks about a wrestling game's creation suite in an otherwise negative review.

As the years go by, these creation modes have gotten more and more ambitious, giving players the opportunity to not only create a Superstar, but their own moves, ring entrances, title belts and more. If you can imagine it, you've probably been able to create it in a wrestling game at least once. But, we think that's not nearly ambitious enough for us. Not even close.

We want a mode that not only allows us to create a wrestling TV show, but an entire wrestling company. We'll create the wrestlers, the sets, the belts, the theme songs, everything. Then, we want to be able to create actual merchandise and sell it online and hold PPV events that people will pay real money to watch. All of this hosted on 2K servers, of course!

What's unreasonable about that?

The more reasonable version: Nearly everything, actually. But, to be fair, the foundations are there for players to actually start their own "promotion" - or an 'e-fed", as we used to call it back in my day (I'm old, you guys). Obviously, not to the lengths that I so dramatically laid out above, but a way where players can design events and have other players participate it in.

Players are already creating these types of shows on YouTube already, and with the popularity of both those and esports in general, it would make sense for 2K to maybe try and capitalize on this - essentially making it even easier for players to promote their game for them.

Oh, also, I'd really like to be able to Create-A-PPV. I mean, not literally. Just a card of matches outside of Universe Mode, one after the other, rather than having to go through the menu and set up each match after the last one finishes. Now, that is what I call "reasonable".
