International Business Times wrote that the "Hall of Pain" DLC gives reference to Mark Henry's actual matches against some of the biggest stars of WWE, which began in 2011 and includes the time when he won the World Heavyweight Championship title against Randy Orton. "Hall of Pain" was the statement used by Henry to describe his various victims at the time he was fully dominant in WWE. Among the superstars he has outshined are Sheamus and Big Show. 2011 is better known as Henry's peak period in WWE.
"Hall of Pain" is the second of three DLC Showcase stories 2K announced before. The first release was "One More Match", which featured Christian's journey to becoming a WWE superstar and the path toward his rivalry with Orton. The final release will be "Path of the Warrior," featuring the Ultimate Warrior's wrestling career, based on the same report by International Business Times.
The new DLC will be available at $9.99 but will automatically be made available for players who bought the "WWE 2K15" season pass for $24.99.
