    Oh yeah seeing the pic of HHH reminds me how WWE issued publishing orders for pictures of the game.

    Reviewers couldn't show any blood in the pictures to go along with the WWE's new PG image, and this was a good one and 100% real...


    That no Triple H screenshots could be used that showed his character "in a defenseless or vulnerable position."

    Actually, at the next pay-per-view, THQ will win, but then EA's music will hit, they'll turn in their Money in the Bank briefcase, and take out THQ.

    neither of these two should be involved with wwe anymore..they've turned out the same fricken game 4 years in a row..wwe needs to go with a fresh perspective and have someone else make their games. Same goes with ufc...that was just a joke of a game.

    what does jakks even do? ive always seen their name on stuff.. but outside of on the wrestling games.. i never see it anywhwere else.


    anyways, if thq cant get aki to make the next wrestling game, then i hope they lose the license. after legends of wrestling compared to undisputed 09.. its easy to see that yukes should stay on mma.. and away from wrestling. in fact, i dont think ive ever liked a yukes game all that much before undisputed.

    @lolgreg prays to Joe Pesci: No Mercy has been untouchable. It's surprising that in this generation nobody has stepped up to make a next generation wrestling title.

    There have been many attempts but ultimately they are the original SmackDown on PS1 with fresher coats of paint and more bloat.

    Now a WWE game using the Fight Night engine (or more realistically, the UFC engine being THQ), that would be interesting.

    But I digress - all the decent wrestlers have left now. After the demise of Eddie, Angle and Benoit, all we have left is muscle bound, talentless boredom.

    @☆Y2Jason☆: I remember the exact spot i was in when my buddy called me and told me about Guerrero. That was a sad day indeed. Especially since there was talk about him getting it back that coming SmackDown!

    Benoit, also a loss of a great wrestler.

    Angle, well, i miss his story lines. Especially between him and Lesnar, they were great together. Just like The Rock and Jericho.

    Which reminds me, you will be recently followed out of great respect to another Jericholic. Y2J! Y2J!
