Don't get me wrong... as hilarious as I would have found it if TNA had signed him, I didn't want him back in the ring. I'm calling him an idiot for making a claim, then saying his return to the ring is in a video game. But then again, this guy is nothing short of insane, so that's the kind of thing I should have expected from him.

It would seem Warrior is not in the game because Acclaim got the rights for the next LOW game with him.

I always bashed away at the buttons in No Mercy to try and kick out or move to the ropes in a submission, so this won't bother me. As for different controls, I remember booting up Just Bring It and being off put by the fact I couldn't get right into it using Know Your Role's controls, but I quickly got used to it and enjoyed it, thought not as much as SYM.

I always thought Zelda could work if it weren't played up for laughs like the animated series, either as an anime or a movie very much like the LOTR films. Of course, when I say Zelda, I refer to The Legend of Zelda, Link's Adventure, or (especially) A Link to the Past. Don't get me wrong, I think Wind Waker is an awesome game and all, but it's not what I want to see a movie made about. Likewise, I don't even like Link's Adventure very much as a game, but storywise it's a great followup to the first game. BMX XXX The Movie might be something worth making as well.

On one hand, not being able to leap right into the game knowing how to work the controls from previous experience is a bit of a downer, it's always good when a game updates itself to avoid being stale. I look forward to doing exhibition matches and figuring out the new controls, then kicking some ass in Season.

I was hoping the new EGM would have a review, but it did not. OT, it had a review for Raw 2, where it got pretty much the worst scores I've seen a wrestling game get in some time. There was a sidebar telling people to go download EWR instead, which made me happy.

Back when it was rumoured that the Legends weren't going to have their music anyway, I wondered what the hell the point would be since CAW is right there to give you the same thing. But after seeing those models... wow. Except for Jim, they look damn good, far better than anything I could have done with CAW. The music is a shame, but by day 7 when I'm hitting Start during the intro, it won't bug me as much.

Wasn't today supposed to be all the Legends? Or are we a day behind in the thread and IGN hasn't done their update for today yet?

Good to hear about Eddie.

The hair match was the one Jericho won. Nash's May Resume is as follows: Raw - defeated Jericho Judgment Day - beat HHH by DQ. This concludes Nash's list of matches in the month of May.

You may remember that heels and faces alike saved Stephanie form the invaders from Raw back in 2002... but then again you may not, since that was never really mentioned again.

I always enjoyed the spot where Michaels has Sid set someone up for the Superkick, and as usual, Michaels hits the big man... but this time he just "oh well" shurgs it off.

So far, that "confirmed new GM" is nothing more than someone being backstage.

Monsoon, the people's president, thought it would be something the fans wanted to see. I don't believe there was any formal angle around it involing who got on what team, just Gorilla announcing the match as a Wildcard match. The main idea was to get Ahmed over (bodyslamming Yokozuna again, being buddies with Shawn Michaels apparently).

HHH and Ric Flair vs. Bill Goldberg, Handicap match Chris Benoit vs. Brock Lesnar Cena vs Angle, Gimmick (I don't know... Rapper Chain Match?) Booker T, RVD, Lance Storm, Hurricane, Rosey vs. Jericho, Christian, Steiner, Orton, Batista Shawn Michaels vs. Mark Henry Rey/Kidman vs. Sakoda/Yang Guerreros vs. WGTT US Title match (Show vs Newly face turned Matt Hardy, a move I don' support.. yet). However this leaves off 2 matches involving McMahons, so.... let's put Henry and Michaels in the 5 vs 5 match (replacing Rosey and Batista) and take off the CW tag match.

No, it's from the Blog.

"a few of you may have noticed that your commenting privilages have been revoked. That's because this is a website about me and how great I am, and if you're looking for a free and open exchange of ideas and thoughts, feel free to fuck off" Yeah, I don't know why people dislike him either.

I liked WMXIX. The control was nice and the graphics were shiney. The Hell in a Cell matches were good, too. Single player sucked, though.

Wouldn't it suck if this was all a big swerve, Heyman was just backstage to visit old friends? The new GM is Sable or a newly signed Dusty Rhodes (remember back in 2002 when the rumours were Dusty was coming, and WWE.com even put a up his graphic for "WHO WILL THE GM BE?")

For the sake of reference, these are the dates being listed by retailer's websites: Future Shop: October 27th (estimated) Best Buy: 'Search' is down and I couldn't find it. I assume the same as FS since it's the same company (or so I hear in Canada). FYE: October 27th EB: Ships on the 27th (so, 28-29th) GameStop: Pre-Release ETA: 10/27/03 and so on... so, very likely, by the 28th it should be in most stores.

It just (recently) hit me that Hawk is one of the Legends in the game. I'll be sure to use him.

Here's a match that's only 9 years old... Bret Hart vs. Bob Backlund... Bret being cornered by Bulldog, Backlund by Owen, Stu at ringside and Helen the one who throws in the towel. The only guy involved to not be dead or messed up right now is the one who isn't a Hart family member.

I was going to post that Matt Hardy, as a heel, was only showing support for Vince McMahon over the face Stephanie McMahon, but two people have done so already so I'll save you further embarassment to your odd statement about giving away the ending and not bring it up.
