Mike Tyson to make comeback as video game wrestler

Iron Mike Tyson is to relive his guest appearance at Wrestlemania XIV with a slot on the roster of grappling game WWE '13, due October 30 in North America.

The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game is planned as a celebration of contemporary ring stars and the WWF's late 90s Attitude Era, and Tyson is being offered as a pre-order bonus.

Tyson's presence during the 1998 Wrestlemania XIV event as a hands-on umpire came at a time when 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin was about to take over from Shawn Michaels as reigning champion and superstar performer.

It was a pivotal moment in WWF (now WWE) history and therefore of importance to the WWE '13 game, which seeks to unite modern and historical periods. Basketball title NBA 2K11 was extremely well received, having done something similar with its dynamic retrospective on Michael Jordan's career.

Current WWE champ CM Punk is to be WWE '13's cover athlete, while Steve Austin, the Undertaker, Mankind and Chris Jericho are among confirmed participants whose involvement with the WWE and WWF businesses span a 20-year period.

Tyson's other video game manifestations have included Mike Tyson's Punch Out, Fight Night Round 4 and, unofficially, as an aggressive (and hastily re-named) pugilist in Street Fighter II and its sequels.
