"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!"

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

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

@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.

@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.

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!

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

suburbancowboy — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 13:27:13 MDT

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.

Papa Midnight — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 13:25:58 MDT

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).

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...

jayntampa — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 12:53:06 MDT

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).

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.

@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.

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 ;)
