It's not about if they should, it's about if Hogan and WWE can come to terms on contracts and money and all of that. Highly doubtful that he's in this year, though.

He was a fairly big part of mid-to-late-80's "gimmicky" WWF, and even a bit of the early 90's. He's a legend in their eyes. What? You were expecting Buddy Rogers and Lou Thesz?

I second that. DiBiase was probably one of my favorites in the entire game. Now if they put in DiBiase and entrance music this time around, we're set. Dude, I would die to hear "Money, Money, Money, Money, Moneeeeeeyyyy" in a Smackdown game. Seriously, DiBiase was the only legend I used in HCTP and in season mode.

There're still four more who will be revealed tomorrow at IGN.com, and the Million Dollar Man had BETTER be one of them!!

I gotta admit, that's a pretty fuckin' cool looking character model!

I read, somwhere - either on IGN or Gamespot - that they were considering it but there were legal problems or something. =\

I'd buy it if I had money to burn, but I don't - so I won't.

If the fans were just jeering him, than Eddy shouldn't be picking fights. He's a wrestler, he needs to learn how to take cheers, boos, and yes, even the wave. But if they were physically provoking him [like in the past with the fan dumping a beer on him] then I'm all for him kicking a little ass.

Well, I'm not saying that's so. I'm saying that's what it looked like they were going for during the first year of the brand split. Did it not come about because Smackdown had Brock vs Taker in the Cell so Bischoff wanted something equally "huge?" At least, that's the way I remember it. Could be wrong tho..

The EC has only been used in RAW matches, so far. I think they wanted to have the EC be Raw's "big crazy match" and the Cell be SD's "big crazy match" as far as gimmicks go.

Wow, the energy/status/smackdown meters for these games are getting huge. Looks like it's gonna be hard trying to follow the action in 6-player matches... combined they take up half the screen.

Since the Rock is more of a "rare attraction" who only does a few matches throughout the year - I wouldn't be surprised if he turns out to be one of the Legends that IGN hasn't revealed yet.

Or better yet.. DOOMSDAY DEVICE!! I think Orton would have seen it coming if Triple H slowly made his way to the top rope... ..that's why it'd be funny.

Well, A] because as it was said before in this thread, HHH is the leader. Flair and HHH have a relationship that goes back further than Evolution, and Flair has always been Batista's mentor ever since he came to Raw from Smackdown. HHH calls the shots so it only makes sense that the drones fall in line and follow him. and B] personally, I feel that having a who-sides-with-who scenario doesn't establish Orton as a face. He needs the fans siding with him.. not Flair & Batista.

Oh, for fuck's sake. A-Train? When was the last time he was even on TV? Same goes for Palumbo and Cade. Legend Undertaker? Legend Kane?! Why not just make them fucking alternate outfits? Or templates in the CAW? And for Christ's sake can we just bite the bullet and fucking scrap the Smackdown diva's [and Stacy] as playable characters?! Fuck, I'd rather have Knoble, London & Kidman over Sable, Torrie & Stacy! Seriously, WWE, THQ & Yukes need to get together and make two editions of these games. One with all the fodder [divas, pra/panties, etc] for idiot fanboys who get off on that shit. And another with a REAL game with characters WORTH playing. Honestly, I'll at least rent this and if the season mode is that much improved, then I'll buy. But otherwise... fuck this noise!

Or better yet.. DOOMSDAY DEVICE!!

Christ dude, what city do you live in? Sounds like something out of Big Trouble in Little China.

Because shit like this should be confined to NHB or Fantasy Wrestling at best... ...and I do mean shit.

Right pal. I'm not the one getting uptight over a crowd reaction [the wave] that's happened thousands of times in pretty much every other arena sport for various reasons... so why the fuck not wrestling? ..and if a wrestler doesn't appreciate it - boo fucking hoo. They're getting paid out of OUR pockets. Get the fuck over it, or get the fuck lost.

Orton was a heel when he got his title shot, and besides, heels don't get over solely by getting title shots.

Well considering he's the most over heel on RAW, nay, the entire WWE - it only makes sense.

HHH pouting for the title for several months does not sound like a very entertaining storyline, IMHO.

....WBF ....Brawl for all ....XFL ....WWE Original Movies I ask anybody to site one instance where Vince has practiced "Financial Conservatism" Regardless, I still don't see it happening.

Could they have tought of a more horrible name for a PPV that takes place on my birthday? Assholes...
