WWE Immortals Posters: The Rock, Brock Lesnar Are Gods Among Us in Totally Epic Art

Sports stars and comic book superheroes are larger-than-life heroes, reminiscent of legendary Greek myth. They appear as supreme beings who rise above the common man, and they can inspire us to be our best even when they themselves often tend to be the worst. (Fuck you, Ray Rice.) Professional wrestling takes this aspect of sports and blows it up to insane proportions. So it was only natural we come full circle and transform them back into ancient warriors, right? Right? Or am I just high?

From UPROXX, WWE Immortals is an upcoming mobile game for iOS and Android on January 15th. Developed by Mortal Kombat‘s NetherRealm Studios, it appropriately has a modern Mortal Kombat or Injustice: Gods Among Us vibe that I’m totally digging. Yet, it is not coming out on PC, Xbox One, Ps4, or the Wii U, and when you see the promotional art you will wonder why the hell not.

First, check out John Cena who is practically cosplaying as Superman. We’ve gone so far past joking John Cena as being Superman that at this point he just straight up is. He even has is hokey OK sign in a diamond pattern on his chest!

Now check out the other guys! Sheamus as a Celtic barbarian, Big Show as, uh, another barbarian, the Bella Twins with differing breast sizes as a Kitana/Milana-type duo. I’m dying to see what Daniel Bryan looks like.

Honestly? I would be all over this game if it weren’t mobile. With this kind of detail and imagination, it is criminal it isn’t on home consoles or PC. Modern fighting games are a mixed bag, but if there’s anything to dig about them today it’s the outrageous costume aesthetics. “Epic” is an overused word but applied to fighting games and the absurdity just makes me smile.

Want proof? Check out The Rock and Brock Lesnar — could they be the final bosses? (Nah, maybe that would most likely be Vince McMahon.) They look at possessed golems. Hell, Brock Lesnar, who was an inspiration for the titans of Attack on Titan, just straight-up looks like a titan here!

Damn it, do you know how amazing CM Punk would have looked? That dude could have been a punk rock ninja. Fuck it, I’m still buying this game.
