The roster has reached new levels of lacking cruiserweight-ness

In 09 power wrestlers can pick up cruisers and use them as weapons.

I am somewhat dissapointed that the FPWR thread hasn't gone 30 pages, but I am happy to see most of the talk being people saying how they can;t wait to get FPWR because everything looks terrible with 08.

Meh. Games are boring.

I've never played a FPW game, and I gotta say, I'm beaming with excited curiousity.

If you use Finlay you should be able to reach under the ring and pull out Hornswaggle and use him as a battering ram or a projectile

Im worried it will flop because its not a WWE wrestling game.

And to think, I was really excited about this game until I saw that very lacking roster. Not having LonDrick at this point is just a crime, considering they were likely still tag team champions when the roster was finalized. And what's up with only 7 legends?

Maybe 09 will be better in that department. And hopefully, there's a good CAW mode. 06's was quite excellent, but 07's left a lot to be desired, particularly when it came to movelists.

And I'm with everyone who's more excited about FPW.

Sinister1:That Nash GIF Guy mentioned in the previous thread that next gen is getting John Morrison. I've just seen him listed as Johnny Nitro so far, has anyone seen this update to Morrison? And if so where?

It's not going to be a blockbuster by any means. However, I'm sure Agetec is perfectly aware of this. It'll appeal to a niche audience and as long as that niche audience gets it, it'll be considered a success for the company.

It doesn't matter if it flops or not, as long as we enjoy it.

But then again, it leaves little chance for a sequel.

It's not all about who's in the game. Let's see how the gameplay is (hopefully) improved with the added gameplay mechanics. The gameplay itself is what matters. Just to put it into perspective, would you rather play SVR 08, or a game with the whole WWE roster, but it plays like WWF Attitude?

I've only seen him listed as Nitro as well, but in the (very) off chance that THQ actually bothers to do a little edit to the game before it ships, we just might get at least Morrison's music and video.

Of course, this implies that THQ would have to bother doing something useful, but they're probably adding Kelly Kelly blowup dolls to the game's locker room mode as I type this.

And they probably dance better than she does.

here's an outline for wwe:

1. fire everyone involved with the smackdown series.

2. gather everyone involved with the day of reckoning series together.
a. give them all a raise.
b. tell them to knock their socks off.



by the way, what happened to that whole licensing issue that THQ was having?? wasn't there a lawsuit because they were stealing or wasting money?

Then we must appreciate it for every second possible, and talk it up to casual wrestling fans.

I'll Be happy as long as CM Punk and Londrick are in the game.

Well, you're half-right.

Or is it one-third right?
