According to someone, its just Create A Ring. You don't actually create a stage or anything, just the ring, announce table and the surrounding area. You can select the old school metal barricades, if you like.

Still looking forward to it.

[XL]

Heh. I was looking forward to designing a stage and logo. :-\

Any videos/pics yet?

[Tommy Gunn]

Trish looks like a pan faced alien from Cocoon. I'm gonna make a Steve Guttenberg in CAW.

[Ultra Mantis]

Just skimming the entrance video's and the facial animations look hugely improved. Christian still has a baboon's nose, however.

[Drakul]

I've read you can only use one stage for CaA. This one:

http://caws.ws/wwe12/wp-content/gallery/screenshots/dsc00286.jpg

Also read you can have 50 created arenas.

[Disturbed316]

Looks pretty great, might actually hold onto this longer than a couple of weeks, unlike the previous versions.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I'll probably create a Souled Out '97 arena then never use that feature ever again.

[Optimus Bone 69]

Hopefully be getting Jericho and Hbk with dlc

[PorkSoda]

The gameplay looks like the same exact thing as the years before. I've watched about 3 minutes of that Cena/Orton match and was not convinced. I could careless about a roster or a good RTW or a good 1 player mode or Create an Arena, I want good gameplay. I don't think I'm sold

Watch the Cena/Punk match. The animation, flowing, counters and comebacks make it look like a totally different game. More of a merge between the last game and HCTP.

One thing you can't really say is that it looks much like 11 anymore.

[PorkSoda]

I said Cena/Orton. I meant to say Cena/Punk.

One thing I am happy about is that in order to grapple you press A and the analog stick.

Other than that, no, it looks the same.

[Drakul]

A couple more custom arena plus a guy ponting stuff out:

It's not as simplified as I thought.

[LuigiD]

Pretty impressed with create an arena so far.
The stage is plain as others have pointed out..but maybe next year we can hope for more designs. Will really spice up the game for sure.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Just realised that due to a legend being in the game, the roster is more up to date the day after it was announced than the day it was

[Xero]

Wish they'd put in the MSG entrance, with no stage and just the ramp way. I'm sure all arenas have ramps just to make everything uniform for entrances or something, but just putting in that MSG entrance they tend to use would make Create an Arena 100 times better for older arenas and house show arenas.

[Kalyx triaD]

Haven't been this excited for a Smackdown game in years. Gonna love this.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

With the old weapon physics, bitches are gonna be lazybombed onto steps left and right by Nash.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Apparently they are using the Raw 2/Legends of Wrestling CAW announcing system now. No more-pre-set list of audible names.</font>

[Kalyx triaD]

Saves space.

[Lara Emily]

:O now I am sold! Assuming the name list is actually decent. Raw 2 had one of the best CAW systems ever

[Xero]

Holy shit at that Five Knuckle Shuffle/Splash. This engine is amazing.

[PorkSoda]

YES!!! OH MY GOD YES! INTERRUPTING MOVES! I've been waiting for that for YEARS. Seriously! I got so fucking tired of wrestling a triple threat match and Rey doing the 619 and me....sitting there....waiting.....waiting....waiting.....now it seems like I can GORE THE BASTARD

The action is more fast paced? Good! The past games have been slow as hell.

The targeting system with the arm, head, or leg is another thing I like.

And according to this guy, the opponents are "Much more agressive" and the AI will "attack your weaknesses". That's good.

I really do have high hopes now. I just hope they made the difficulty harder, which is what I've been hoping for a long time now. If they AI is smarter and more aggressive than they say, then they could at least up the difficulty.

[The Pope]

Sounds pretty damn good haven't bought a SvR game in years because of how slow the matches are.

[James Steele]

Hopefully "harder AI" doesn't just mean they counter everything like the past few years.

[Drakul]

<font color=goldenrod>Apparently they are using the Raw 2/Legends of Wrestling CAW announcing system now. No more-pre-set list of audible names.</font>

I really hope so. I was impressed with that in LoW.

I know LoW had my first name but I'm not sure if it had my surname. Hoping a list of recorded names etc comes out soon. Just so I can see if it's on there.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

Daniel Bryan appearently has his Cattle Mutilation.

[Kapoutman]

Haven't bought a game in two years. I think I'll get this one.

[James Steele]

I'm getting quite stoked for this game. I traded SVR11 back in June, so I will be ready for some RASSLIN' come November.

[Extreme Angle]

More excited for this than I have been for any wrestling game in years...

[LuigiD]

Kinda hope they stop doing this for Nintendo consoles and just do a Day of Reckoning 3.

http://i52.tinypic.com/2wcpoio.jpg

[PorkSoda]

If this game has a "I hate you Heath Slater. I hate you" fan in the audience then I'd be officially sold.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Admittedly...realism aside I think it's completely retarded that they've added in Sin Cara's lighting for singles matches, but NOT providing the option to turn it off.

I might actually use him less if it is as annoying as it is in real life.</font>

[Xero]

lol they actually have Sin Cara's lighting in? That's pretty stupid.

[Droford]

One thing that cheeses me off to no end is that, despite all the move towards making everything look "broadcast quality", the fucking damn screen fades to black between entrances and before the match starts. Youd think someone would figure a way to fix that.

[Kalyx triaD]

Fix a loading screen, Dro?

I mean they could try to hide it to make it more seamless but get over that.

While it is a bit stupid you can't turn it off, I read that I was strangely pumped for the idea.

[James Steele]

I wouldn't be completely surprised if WWE quit doing that right as WWE 12 comes out. It always seems there is something WWE changes within a month of the games coming out to instantly make it outdated. Usually it is music (which isn't an issue anymore) or the logos/match screens for SD.

[Extreme Angle]

What's this ring lighting?

About the best shot I can find out of it

[Extreme Angle]

Just watched a video on Youtube... Seems annoying.

[Extreme Angle]

I have a feeling that this game is going to be buggy as fuck when it comes out...

[Droford]

Fix a loading screen, Dro?

I mean they could try to hide it to make it more seamless but get over that.

I get that the way they do it, each entrance is basically one great big cinematic but youd think that instead of an annoying fade to black every time, they would come up with some better way to link entrances and the match together. Like for instance in real life often times they'll pull back the camera to a wide shot and do a promotional spot for like SKITTLES or something and then they go to the next entrance. Im not saying I want ads in the game (AND DONT BE BLAMING ME IF THEY EVER DO) but it would be "authentic" to the broadcast at least.

[PorkSoda]

You don't want JR screaming about FRUITY FRUITY OH MY GOD FRUITY SKITTLES in the next game then?

Actually I think ads over load times is a good idea. Me and my bud used to add the arena cam shot in entrances and we just improved ads for authenticity.

I agree with you on this.

[Captain of Fun]

Yeah, but having ads for every match would be kinda crappy. They usually only do it once or twice a night. A crowd panning screen is a good idea though.

[Funky Fly]

You guys understand that a crowd shot isn't going to make for a good loading screen because they're hundreds of individual npcs that have to be loaded themselves, right? Loading screens are a fact of videogames. That's the single whiniest complaint I've ever heard about the series.

[Captain of Fun]

YOU'RE the single whiniest complaint I've heard about the series.

[Funky Fly]

I know. People have been clamouring for me to be included on the roster since HCTP. There's always hope for next year, though.

[Captain of Fun]

There are still a few spots left. Don't give up.

[Rammsteinmad]

This game looks awesome, and I haven't played a WWE game since SVR08. I wish this was out on the PS2. :(

[Xero]

I can't confirm this list anywhere, but it's floating around so I'll post it. It's the supposed CAS Call List. Apparently you can use four parts in a name. Take it as a rumor right now.

[Funky Fly]

That's a good start if true, but that LoW call list was absolutely massive and you could just about any wrestler, famous person or fictional character in the game at least by their name. I had a Johnny Bravo CAW in LoW2.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I've read on other forums, that among others, the 450, SSP, Future Shock, Brouge Kick, etc, have all been reanimated, and look great.

[Funky Fly]

That was one of their main focuses this time was the reamination of a lot of the moves. They should just have the guys do a couple of hours of mocap work for their own moves and entrances when they come in to get scanned into the game. It worked wonders for MVP's moves/entrance last year. In fact Both the canned MVP signatures and the new ones are both in so you can see for yourself.

If I'm being honest, I'm really not that impressed with the choice of names, if it's true. :-\

I'm most probably just nitpicking, but there is a lot of "pointless" names and names missing that are very common and also are your generic "wrestling names".

For example, they have William and Williams, a forename and a surname, but they only have Steve/Stephen but not Stevens/Stephens, which is a very common surname. Stevens is always a very common "Wrestling Surname".

They have "pointless" names such as Yamashita, Turtle and Navajo. I don't think a lot of people are going to make a Japanese wrestler or wrestlers who are Indians. :-\

And with the name "Turtle", I'm expecting a lot of Ninja Turtle CAW's to be online.

[Evil Vito]

Yeah, LOW's selection was better simply because I could actually get announced as Kevin Busch.

Might give my CAW a more wrestling-friendly surname just to take advantage of the new system.

[Drakul]

Cool list. It has my first name but not my surname and it has my CAWs surname and not his first name. Still cool that they're using this but I hope there is more to it.

DLC call names?

[What Would Kevin Do?]

The problem is, it would take a TON of time and money to do that, since they'd have to work around WWE's schedule. I think MVP motion captured a lot of the games moves in general. With that said, some of the guys who have REALLY specific moves should definitely be motion captured, like JoMo.

I also really hope they reanimate the full nelson slam, dream street, and Kozlov's finisher are reanimated.

[D Mac]

If that call list is true I'll be making/downloading Kurt Angle and calling him Kirk Angel!

Either Stunning Shaun Hacker or Hollywood Hacker, see how I feel at the time (and if I can actually have 3).

It wouldn't be so bad is we could have a single letter. So you could have the announcer call out "Shaun H" or "B Andersen" or whatever.

Yeah, I meant for specific signature moves. Punches, kicks and general slams and suplexes can be just recaptured by whoever is free to do them, but I meant they should mocap stuff like JoMo's breakdance kick and Alberto Del Rio's double knee armbreaker and obvious stuff like finishers when they come in. Shouldn't take more than a couple of hours for each guy.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

The cheapest and most time-efficient way would be to scrap motion capture entirely and hire some bloody animators worth their salt. Barely any game is motion captured these days because the animation comes out too stilted and doesn't mesh with the computer generated environment all that way. Looking at the videos, I'm guessing they may have done that for some moves this year.

[Drakul]

We can create call names for Bill Bailey, Cat Williams, Alexander Graham Bell, Doctor Quinn, Ronald McDonald, Cliff Richard, Captain Falcon, Mr. Mime, Peter Griffen, Bart and Homer Simpson, Captain Kirk and Roy Walker.

Sounds like a five star stable, right there.

Speaking of stable, will call names just be for CAWs or do you think we could have them call out a stable name?

[Ultra Mantis]

Good to see that Chuck Taylor, Lance Storms & Samoan Joe also made the call list.

Don't usually play/buy WWE games every year. Thinking about it this year tho.

You know what would be cool in Create-An-Arena? Choosing the audience.

Things like regular fans, troops and druids from SvR11 but new ones like Dx members, NWO members (Just fans in DX/NWO shirts), WCW audience, empty arena, robots, ninjas, zombies, aliens etc. Maybe even one with all the audiance members having bags on their heads.

It would add to the customisation.

Yeah it's sad that with how far we've come with video game graphics that the audience looks so crude.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

The better looking they make the crowd, the less power is available to making the rest of the game look good. That's why.

[Rammsteinmad]

I don't understand MVP's comment. I was saying that I thought the crowd looked good. I wasn't being sarcastic.

On the other hand, I'm still at 96% on GTA: Vice City, so obviously I'm pretty far behind with what's modern in video games.

It was the hardest game I've ever played for ALL the wrong reasons. It's totally unfair the way they do levels and they made it impossible to beat unless you have infinity lives, which I had.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

That just means Andre's family own the rights to his likeness/estate.

Correct, but Andre hasn't been confirmed as on the roster. They wouldn't have had to put that if Andre wasn't in the game.

They may have just copy and pasted the disclaimer from WWE All-Stars, though.

[Juan]

Oh ok

[Drakul]

It doesn't mean Andre is in the game. SvR11 has "Kinect is copyright Microsoft" etc in the legal stuff at the start of the game and SvR11 doesn't use Kinect at all or mention it other than that little bit of legal text.

"The Lethal Weapon" Andre the Giant.

@RealCoryLedesma (http://twitter.com/#!/RealCoryLedesma) Cory Ledesma
Did you know? #WWE12 (http://twitter.com/#!/search?q=%23WWE12) has 23 different championship titles in the game! And no, I'm not going to tell you what they all are yet. Patience...

The Tag Team Titles count as 1 Championship.

I wonder which belts other than current ones(WWE,WHC,Tag,Divas,IC,US), former(early 90s WCW,last ECW,Raw/Smackdown Tag,Cruiserweight,Womens,Hardcore)? I think the European Championship may come back.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>The Million Dollar Belt and Smoking Skull Belt will probably be in as well. Maybe old school versions of the belts will be in. That's basically all I can think of.

I do hope that we can officially "deactivate" belts though. I had to give my CAW that I didn't use in Universe all of the inactive belts so that current members of the roster wouldn't have them.</font>

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I wouldn't be surprised if a few of the WCW titles made it in, including the TV championship.

Then you'll have the ECW championship as well. ECW TV title maybe?

[XL]

Not a fan of having all those belts available, it would be nice to be able to pick and choose which ones are active.

Would be nice to choose different variations. Imagine Punk with the Eagle belt once held by Bret, Shawn, Hogan, etc.

[BizarroKing]

I'm thinking...
-WWE Title
-WHC
-U.S.
-IC
-Tag Title
-Divas
-Internet (hey, why not?)
-Hardcore
-Million Dollar
-European?
-WCW
-ECW
-Cruiserweight
-nWo
-Classic WWE (2002 version or earlier)
-Smoking Skull and/or the lost "Brahma Bull" belt
-Maybe at least 1 custom belt made for in the game universe itself

The Rest, no idea

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Even though WWE has never had one, I'd love for them to put in a 6 man tag title.

[Drakul]

Maybe it'll be these.

WWE
WCW
ECW
AWA
WWE Tag
WCW Tag
ECW Tag
AWA Tag
Hardcore
European
Intercontinental
Cruiserweight
Light Heavy
TV
Undisputed
Smoking Skull
Million Dollar
Rated R Belt
Womans
Diva
Retro WWF (still called WWE but WWF design)
Retro ECW
Retro WCW

[XL]

Yep. I'm hoping for alternate designs rather than seperate belts.

WWE
- Current
- Upside down/Miz version
- Rated R version
- Undisputed version
- Big Round Belt
- Eagle Belt
- Smoking Skull

IC
- Current
- WWF Era design

Tag
- Current
- Last World Titles
- Last WWE (SmackDown) belts
- 80s/90s era design

US
- Current
- Spinner
- WCW version

ECW
- WWECW Phoenix Design
- Traditional ECW design

Hardcore
European
Cruiserweight
Million Dollar

That's 22.

[XL]

Diva's makes 23.

[SuperSlim]

I can't remember which Smackdown it was... but there was one that you could become the Undisputed champion... so perhaps they'll have that belt in there... instead of like the Miz belt... other than that... your list will hopefully be right.

[XL]

Yeah, Miz' variant (or Edge's for that matter) isn't too high on my list of "wants" but it totally seems like the kind of thing the developers would do and make a big deal of. I'd love the options for everything else though.

[Ace]

This game has me sold already. Everything they announce now is a bonus. Unless there is some huge glaring fault just before release, I'll be getting this when it comes out.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

The story for that game is incredible. You're fired, so Stephanie hires you to go around killing Vince's workers to stop Wrestlemania being completed. Then you go so far as to kill other wrestlers just so you can have a match with Vince.

It's the definitive wrestling storyline.

[Ace]

I think that's what they were going to with Nash. Laurinitis hires him back in secret, has him kill security guards, and eventually Triple H, to have him face Punk at Mania? :shifty:

[Extreme Angle]

So when will the remaining superstars be announced?

[taker707]

the mystery one is supposed to be sometime in september i heard

[Ace]

Aren't all the remaining characters a mystery?

[Nark Order]

Naw. HCTP was most definitely the best WWE game ever produced.

[Xero]

Aren't all the remaining characters a mystery?

There's one "special" character that they've been pushing.

It's supposedly Lesnar.

[Ace]

I'm going to assume its Pat Patterson in his evening gown match attire.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

There's one "special" character that they've been pushing.

It's supposedly Lesnar.

I thought it was supposedly Foley.

Oh well, that's what makes it a mystery!

[Londoner]

Either one of them would be fucking great.(lesnar or foley, not pat!)

[Ace]

I agree with TL. Either would be amazing. I think I'd slightly prefer Lesnar, out of nothing but the novelty of him not being in wrestling any more. Where as Foley could well be in the main roster by next years game....

Plus Foley said on Twitter that he is in the game, and he doesn't come across as the type who would say something like that for no reason.

[LuigiD]

Maybe we will get both?
a man can only dream of so much..
Rock 'n' Sock Connection Reunion.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Brock n Sock

[Ace]

Brock n Sock

:lol:


There are Brock Lock/ Mandible Claw, and F5/ Double Arm DDT combos waiting to happen....

[Xero]

LOL, that flying F5 in the games caught into the double arm DDT would be epic.

[Triple Naitch]

I thought it was supposedly Foley.

Oh well, that's what makes it a mystery!

Wouldn't be surprised if it was Macho Man.

[Lock Jaw]

Evolution is a mystery. Batista was in Evolution. The mystery superstar is BATISTA.

With Pink Shirt Alt-Attire.

[Cool King]

Michael Cole.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

@THQ_Tank (http://twitter.com/#!/THQ_Tank) THQ Tank

Someone asked on our boards, I will happily confirm/clarify, 6 of the remaining 14 mystery spots on our roster left are <S>@</S>WWE (http://twitter.com/#!/WWE) Divas

[LuigiD]

So that leaves us 8..counting the super mystery guy 7..
I am guessing a good chunk of those are guys that recently left like DH Smith. Maybe 1 or 2 additional legends?

[BizarroKing]

If I read correctly, the remaining spots would be for Divas and Legends only

[DAMN iNATOR]

I loved the GC games, but the story/ career mode in WM19 was ridiculous....

Hey, at least it had a story mode, unlike WWE WrestleMania X8 the year before it on GameCube. All it had was Path of A Champion, where you could the WWF, WWF IC, WWF European, WWF Hardcore, WWF Light Heavyweight, or WWF Tag Team belts, and all that was was going through the motions to win the title, with different difficulties to try. Then there was Battle for the Belts mode, with the 50 (I think?) fictional titles that you could compete for. Same concept, different name.

[LuigiD]

Super pumped for WM18 when it came out. The cover drew me in. I remember marking out and thinking "WOW the top 3 biggest guys from each company!"
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/75/Nintendo_Gamcube_cover_of_WrestleMania_X8.jpg
then...I got it and was bored of it after like 1 week.

[Kalyx triaD]

X8 was alright, a precursor to a great series.

[V]

lol X8 was terrible

WMXIX and DOR were incredible

[Emperor Smeat]

Was X8 the first one to not use AKI as the developer and instead it was Yukes on a Nintendo system?

Then again I don't think THQ even owned the engine used in the N64 games for some strange reason.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Create a titan-tron is in. Looks more advanced than the old "Use a highlight real as a titan-tron" set up.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Also, apparently Cody Rhodes' alt attire is his "Dashing" look.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

Same vid that WWKD posted which got taken down.

<iframe width="560" height="345"src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/n1rV-4Xz_ws" frameborder="0"allowfullscreen></iframe>
Creating a Mini-Tron seems to be in too, it also seems the CAW call name list Xero posted on page 15 is accurate with at least 2 of them.

[Drakul]

Videos been removed so here it is again:

I'm liking what I see. Create a tron is finally what I've wanted it to be. Just hoping it's got plenty of options.

All I need to know now is if I can play with other CAWs on the same 360. I still hate that I can't see or use my brothers CAWs and he cant see or use mine, even when we are both logged in on the same 360.
I'm not holding my breath.

Doesn't that work if they're logged in as a guest? Swear it did in 2010.

[Kalyx triaD]

We just share the slots. That's been the way since the beginning. They should take other accounts into account.

[Drakul]

Doesn't that work if they're logged in as a guest? Swear it did in 2010.

No, we've tried in every WWE game we bought for the 360. We've never been able to share CAWs.
We've tried us both being logged in, one of us being a guest and neither of us being signed in but then the game tells you to sign in before it lets you go any further so it can load a save.

[Londoner]

That vid looks great.

[LuigiD]

The create an arena feature looks excellent.

[Cool King]

The People have spoken! The Rock will dominate the WWE '12 Collectors Edition! Full details announced early next week.

[Ultra Mantis]

Also, apparently Cody Rhodes' alt attire is his "Dashing" look.

I hope theyve put in his old entrance with the mirror camera gimmick. A Cody Rhodes RTW would be fantastic this year.

[JimmyMess]

Not sure if this has been said... but I'm not going through all 19 pages to find out.

How great would it be to have the Spring Break Nitro arena in WWE '12?

<S class=hash>#</S>WWE12 (http://twitter.com/#!/search?q=%23WWE12) has come to terms on the release of WWE Superstars "Red" and "Green" as of today. We wish them the best in all future endeavors

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

No matter the number of characters as THQ and Yukes pack into WWE '12, there are never enough. As many arenas, finishers or story paths as there might be in the game, you will likely want more. You'll want to put your own touch on the game, bringing back old wrestlers or putting yourself into the squared circle. Maybe you want to create a ring of your own.

<object id="vid_4e70df698e88c56adc000116" class="ign-videoplayer" width="480" height="270" data="http://media.ign.com/ev/prod/embed.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="movie" value="http://media.ign.com/ev/prod/embed.swf" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><param name="flashvars" value="url=http://www.ign.com/videos/2011/09/14/wwe-12-character-creation-trailer"/></object><div style="width:480px"><a href="http://www.ign.com/videos/2011/09/14/wwe-12-character-creation-trailer">More WWE 12 Videos</a></div>

For WWE '12, THQ is wisely focusing its efforts on fixing gameplay that had become stale and overly complicated. Graphics are being spruced up. Animation is being refined. When it comes to the various created superstars, finishers or entrances, the developer is leaving most of the options alone. That's probably a good thing, considering how powerful the tools already were.

While not throwing everything out, THQ is building upon what already exists. This year the create-an-arena mode will allow players to develop up to 50 customized arenas and share them online with their friends. Like what someone else has done? You can download that to your game. Likewise those concepts can then be worked into the WWE Universe mode or created stories in the Story Designer (which is also returning, virtually identical to its predecessor).

Arena options range from the predictable (you can recreate old school WCW rings or fashion your own NWO environment) to the more absurd (populating the squared circle with grass). The concept certainly fits in like with the other creative modes.

Developing your own character has some new perks. More visual options have been added to just about all categories, including masks, outfits, face paint and jackets. Additionally THQ has included more "menu screen poses" and options for hometown descriptions.

One clever addition is allowing players to adjust how superstars are introduced as they're walking to the ring. Four separate clips, from a pool of 600, can be plugged together in order to create an introduction.

http://ps3media.ign.com/ps3/image/article/119/1194266/wwe-12-20110914093723068-000.jpg
It's a slobbernocker.

Creating entrances will be better thanks to being able to customize entrance videos. Players will be able to work with a number of settings, including conceptual themes, color schemes, logos and some customizable text, and an automatic generator will assist developing a sequence for the superstar's TitanTron video. THQ has also added 20 new animations for wrestlers as they walk to the ring.

THQ's emphasis this year remains the same as it has been in years past - give players more options. Whether it's the new create-an-arena mode or adding over 100 new moves to the overall pool of options, WWE '12 is building upon the legacy of Smackdown vs. RAW. Considering how powerful these tools already were, that might not be a bad thing.

Just want this game to come out already even if i will only have the Wii version of it! Hopefully graphics wont be too bad on it.

[Extreme Angle]

My guess is Razor Ramon as mystery superstar

[Disturbed316]

Red and Green have gone? What bullshit! :mad:

CAN YOU CREATE/CUSTOMIZE COMEBACK MOMENTS? HOW IS THIS NOT A QUESTION ASKED?

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

Already confirmed that you can choose each of the 3 comeback moves. At least that's what I got from one of Brian Williams interviews.

GOOD

[XCaliber]

I'm hoping for Demolition Crush to be one of the mystery legends then we could have the true complete stable.
