I really hope they lose the license/go under. I'm not hoping that people lose their jobs, that's just cruel but honestly, if you can't be bothered to really, truly test this game, then you're not doing your job. How this game made it through testing without some serious recommendations from the testers that issues be fixed is really hard to believe. That or they have testers that are not fans of the product and thus do not know when something is out of order/incorrect. You have to think, if not for online gaming capabilities coming around, they may have gone out of business years ago. It's not just a problem with THQ, it's a problem with the gaming industry as a whole. Release a semi-functional game, vow to patch it later, patch it 3 months down the line, fix some things and further damage others. Then have the cheek to tell the consumer that everything will be fixed in next year's iteration. With regards to THQ, this game is too little, too late. The game made so little progress between, say, SVR 06 and SVR 11 that people just gave up with the franchise, and they've left it until now, when they have one foot in the grave, to fix the problem. They seemed to wager a lot on the success of WWE '12, but the problem there was that they sent out a game that was incredibly problematic, and as mentioned before, released a patch that somehow made things worse. This isn't to say that other game publishers don't do this (looking at you, EA Sports), but I can only sympathise so much with a company that becomes complacent and lazy once they realise that they're broke. I hope most of the lower-level staff can get back onto their feet quickly, but the management types at that company have made their beds, and need to lie in it. Well, look at it like this. THQ is ahead of the curve, for once. Seems like a lot of gaming companies are releasing their big games as being glitchy and buggy as all hell. The difference is those companies are able to quickly patch things up within weeks of the release. THQ...probably not so much.

Speaking of, are they ever going to fix that in that they have Vertical and Horizontal backwards? Oh good I'm not the only one that noticed that. And my guess ... no. Also I've uploaded my Soviet Heel "The Red Menace" Oleg Kolesnikov... and also probably the most childish thing I've ever done the might luchador Sin Pantalones. And apparently something in 450 Knee Drop is considered offensive by the servers and has been censored.

So you think if I took modern Triple H and gave him My Time and Steph as his manager he'd pass for Trips circa 2000?

Using the 2000 one for that myself, though I'm planning to grab a more complete version of My Time and instead of having Stephanie as his manager I have Helmsley as his tag partner.

in Universe mode, i have the main 3 Misfits, Jerry Only, Doyle, and Danzig but i dont have them associated with each other at the moment...however, DDP being the super nice guy from New Jersey that he is...has found a way to re-unite my favorite punk band.
Jerry Only beat Goldust and after the match DDP comes in the ring with Doyle to celebrate with Jerry. next week Jerry and Doyle are in a Tag Match together, and after the match DDP is on the stage with Danzig applauding...next week is Jerry and Doyle vs DDP and Danzig, during the match Danzig turns on DDP and leaves the match causing Jerry and Doyle to win. next week Jerry is wrestling and Danzig comes out and stands in Jerry's corner.

So, playing online, and just encountered something that chills me to my f***ing core - someone willingly using Barrett's theme for a CAW. And of course he made me sit through the entire thing. With Triple H's entrance, so it took forever. The menus are bad enough about waterboarding you with that song.

Are you on XBox Live and 2. Did you upload these?

"I need to keep an EMT near me whenever I call an Eve match. Every time she's around me, my heart skips a beat!" -The King, during an Eve-Nikki Bella match. Boy, these games are so weird with foreshadowing...

Just had my first online play experiences and not sure how I feel about it.
First match was me as Rikishi vs. The Rock with Mike Tyson as ref. Tyson kept getting involved, on my behalf, but I didn't want to win that way.
Second match was against some huge guy dressed as a yeti who just spammed running DDTs, stomped me and when I got back up, DDT again. After a coupleof minutes of that with me getting no movement in (not even standing up or walking; I may as well set the controller down) I left the match, not realizing it would count as a loss, though again, didn't matter.
Third was a pretty good HIAC with Kofi (me) vs. Lesnar. It was back and forth and whether I won or not, I'd have thought it was good, because he was actually wrestling, not spamming.
So right now, not totally sold on it unless I can play with specific friends or maybe people on here, who I feel I can trust to have a fun match, and not be douches. I'll have to explore and find out how to set up matches with specific users.

I had some good matches online last night myself. Ran into some dicks too, of course - one that comes to mind is this guy who was an impartial referee for the first half of the match, then abruptly decided that, nevermind, he was going to do everything he possibly could to keep me from winning for some reason.

So, got it today, loving it so far, my CAW's started a feud with Epico (Gotta start somewhere, right?) and has been beating the crap out of him. Had a cool spot where he rolled me up, and we reversed it between us about 7 times, then I got out, Knee Tremble'd him and pinned him. Best match so far was against Ryder on Superstars. I put the game on Legendary from the start, but didn't realise I'd have to be more precise on the reversals, so I got my ass kicked for a bit, fought back, and ended up spearing him through a barricade. Then, I climbed into the ring and did a headstand whilst the ref counted him out EDIT: Does anyone else get stupid amounts of lag in Post Match Replays? I've had to turn my Xbox off twice as a result of this bullshit, and I can't find a way to turn them off without going through every f***ing match type and manually doing so in the options menu.
