He is a beast.

So did THQ do that custom for Larry, or is that a PC version/etc where people can make their own avatars? I'm just curious, looks pretty good for what it is ;)

Lol, Vince looks like he's expecting Larry to ask him about steroids.

Man that games footage looks like SHIT

aahh poor Vince! Expect him to get into the ring on Raw and proclaim himself better than Larry King so he can reaffirm his masculinity on live TV

creepy.

@DaiMacculate: The console versions have the ability to create custom characters - closest thing to recreating Smash Bros. on the 360. :P

My guess is someone on his staff or from WWE did it for the show...although there is a Larry King created character that has been floating around for a while now.

I seriously lol'd loud at parts of that video.

Larry King for WWE Champion!

I love King's backflip off the ropes

Here's hoping that's not footage from an actual game. Then again, it'd be on par with the other crappy wrestling games out in the market to this day.

Glad I stopped liking wrestling when I was 12.

I'm glad somebody got paid money to whip up a Larry King CAW...

It was pretty interesting that Larry King actually called out THQ like that ... that's a real PR coup; you can't buy publicity like that (or ... maybe they did, who knows).

Reporter Reversal. Suspender Slam! Probing Interview Piledriver! Skeletal Swandive!
This is so cool. You never see King this excited. He almost uncrossed his arms!

That was pretty funny.

It's good to see that someone in the mainstream tv media actually has a sense of humor still. I bet there were some execs shitting bricks about that.

They dont have an audiece with Larry King? Dont know, thats why im asking.

those guys were like "why the hell are we watching this"

Doesn't his oversized head limit his wrestling skills?

This definitely reminded me of Celebrity Deathmatch.

Were the wrestlers in-character during the interview?

Larry- "THQ,they make those games."
Vince-"Yes,they do."
Best Interview Ever!

that was incredibly awkward, lmao

Shit... nothing beats the interview when Vince McMahon got in Bob Costas' face on HBO that one time.

Costas just about pooped his pants, there was nothing virtual about it lol.

Just look at his son in laws face as he tries to stifle a laugh. I wonder how many times his thought about doing just that. WHAT DO YOU MEAN IM NOT WORTH THE MINIMUM WAGE RAISE!!!

Wow Vince really? I have a hard time believe, after seeing more than my fair share of your bouts, that you really lack that much personality. Maybe your throat hurts? Heh, no gay joke there though...

@kidnicky:

Vince actually said, right THQ and Jakks.

Funny thing is that WWE, last I heard, wanted out of their THQ contract.

Of all the finishing moves they could've given him... It had to be an overhyped Fireman's Carry Takeover (or - to Death Valley Driver... depending on your perspective).

Is the custom character creator even capable of making a character as skinny as Larry King? I've seen skeletons that look better in suspenders.

I would love to see him take a bump from Vinny Mac. Vince is bigger than most of the wrestlers who work for him.

They forgot to put an onion on his belt, as was the fashion in his youth.

LOL Larry King has Rey Mysterio's entrance.

@Papa Midnight: Oh, you can blame Cena for that as well, him and his dreaded FU, ugh.

@Ashkihyena: Have we ever found out Rey Mysterio's true identity? King = Mysterio..think about it.

haha... "Ah'm a killa!"
What was that - Smackdown 3? 4 probably? There must have been more since then, but that's what it looked like...

lol, Triple H(A.K.A. MR. I Knocked my boss' daughter with my Bazooka) still looks good.

@fuchikoma: Naw, that was Smackdown vs. Raw 2008, not sure which one though since there are 3 different versions of it.

It looks like wrestling games haven't evolved too much since the N64 days, and my $2 copy of WCW vs. nWo: World Tour.

I tell you what, the King has had a lot of embarassing/creepy moments over the past year. From rapping(?) with Snoop Dogg(??), to dancing(???) with Janet Jackson(?????), and now this. No wonder so many people want to have an interview with him! They just can't stay away from the old geezer!

@fuchikoma: I think that was the Wii or PS2 version of 2008 - because of the "ew" graphics.

You think they would use the better looking version when doing an on-air stunt like that.

@Erwin: I lol'd

@Foggynotion: Yes, but back then you coulkdn't get white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones

larry king is losing iit

[www.vimeo.com]

@battra92: Probably because all the games have been crap bar a couple on Playstation and N64.

The graphics and animation in this game look unprofessional and lame. I wouldn't blame WWE for wanting out, or maybe THQ is under too much pressure to release too many of these games and can't focus on quality. I dunno, but they're bad looking and play horribly.

King! No, King! Put the CEO down!

I didnt know he had it in him

@Crisu:

Nope.

@Absent Blue:

Sorry for another quick comment but I agree that THQ is looking bad, Atari type of bad.

Wow, either those were terrible graphics or Larry King has gotten even more frail and arthritic than usual.

"Welcome back to Larry King Live.

You know I find it refreshing to bathe in a combination of boy urine and french onion dip.

Hoboken, NJ you're on the phone!"

-Bob and Tom phone call for the Larry King Game with Kevin Pollak

lol, that was one of the most awsome things ive seen in a while. I love that people still think that wrestling is real :P
