I'd assume it's due to the seasonal implications of the name, but it is odd that we've had a bunch of WrestleMania games, Royal Rumble, Survivor Series, King of the Ring, No Mercy, and In Your House but never that one.

Why has there never been a WWE BummerSlam game with all the worst wrestlers and gimmick matches?
Imagine playing cross-generational dream matches like Ted Arcidi vs. Damien Demento in a Coal Miner's Glove Match.

The geniuses in marketing probably believe that no one will buy a game called SummerSlam at Xmas.

Probably because SummerSlam is the only PPV with a seasonal title.

We had WCW Superbrawl on SNES but never Fall Brawl, either.

Probably because SummerSlam is the only PPV with a seasonal title. Simple solution: make it a beach volleyball game. |

I think because Summerslam is essentially a lesser version of Wrestlemania. Why make a Summerslam game when Wrestlemania does all the same shit but bigger and more famous? It would be like an NFL Game calling itself "Conference Championship" instead of "SuperBowl". Most of the other PPV's that got games have special gimmicks that can add to the game. And No Mercy is more of a catchphrase from the time it was made. Kinda like Smackdown: Shut Your Mouth.

It's probably because the name is season-dependent, and Summerslam was just another show (despite being one of the Big Four) when WWE was theming games after shows. The show didn't get really elevated in importance until they were just doing games with years in the names like Smackdown vs Raw and WWE2K.

Speaking of, did anyone else find it strange that they named a game "Day of Reckoning?" It's not bad or anything, but they almost always named games after shows and suddenly they came up with an original title?

Is that the game that's patterned after a late 80's-early 90's beat em up where Stephanie gets kidnapped and you have rescue her while choosing from Stone Cold, Rock, Triple H, and Undertaker? |
