WWE doesn't like Triple H to look weak...
 

Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

-- This past week, there was some major heat between WWE and Fighting Spirit, a magazine based out of the U.K. that covers professional wrestling as well as MMA.

In the latest issue, the magazine printed a memo sent out by WWE to members of the video gaming press covering the upcoming SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 video game. WWE wants to control how the game is portrayed in previews.

WWE told the video game press that they could not show any screenshots of the Superstars bleeding or using weapons. Additionally, WWE said in their memo that they aren't allowed to show screenshots of digital Triple H "in a defenseless or vulnerable position."

WWE was said to be furious that the memo was published (I get the magazine, so I'll post the memo in its entirety as soon as I get my copy).

Additionally, Fighting Spirit defied order by posting a screenshot of Kane hovering over a vulnerable Triple H.

LOL WWE can be so ridiculous bout these things

LOL. Next year they'll just make the developers make that a feature of the game. Triple H can't lose... ever.

Gotta love them carnies.

Triple H is the most insecure WWE Superstar in the history of WWE
 

DON'T WANNA LOOK TOO WEAK ON VIDEOGAMES NOW DO WE?

Sad

Uhhh... yeah! This is stupid.

For a company that basically killed kayfabe 2-3 years ago, this is downright ridiculous.

No its not Terran, this is WWE :p

This makes me really really angry. How fucking stupid does WWE think their fans are?

It's honestly kind of insulting.

I see what you mean, but the fact they don't want to show blood or wrestlers with weapons makes me believe that this video games is aimed at children.

fuck em, post pics of HHH getting beat up by a diva.Do a review featuring pics of HHH looking as pathetic as possible.

This seems almost too absurd to be true....but sadly par for the course these days.

Seems like asking something like this is almost bound to make someone do the opposite.

After all he is banging with the boss's daughter.

That means he's got mad street cred.

You know what? It's damn near impossible to find a picture of Triple H getting his ass kicked. Damn HHH fanboys posting victorious pics of him only.

Couldn't fine any.

But I found this when I typed "Triple-H laugh".

:lol:

Didn't you know...


Sleeping with dirty whores = mad street cred.

Call 1-800-Get-StreetCred

;)

Maxed out?

Have you learned a lesson?

Don't use so many escourt services :roll:

Trips doesn't even want to job in video games

I can imagine Triple H playing Smackdown Vs RAW with another wrestler, and upon losing, he complains to Vince that he's being held down.

Vince then breaks down and orders a Code Breaker (the cheat DVD, not the finishing move).

Is anybody else just getting sick and tired of jokes like this?

No.

It's not funny.


But I don't particulally care.



Just from a good business point of view. Why would you not add The Undertaker to that request? Taker's character requires him to look dominant, as reflected by the way he is booked.

Ego.

Taker's is big, Trips' is bigger.

I don't see this as that big of a deal. Triple H is like there #1 guy right now, so they probably have all sorts of stupid ass rules in place to "protect him." It's hard to find pictures of The Rock and Stone Cold beaten down or in weak positions too, and in the old days of WrestleMania 2000 and No Mercy 64, the commercials always featured those guys in superior positions.

Could you imagine any other companies with video games demanding something similar?

No, but there aren't many companies out there like the WWE.

They can market the hell out of anyone they want and make them look strong all the time, no problem. A REAL sport you have that chance that the guy you built up to be "the man" could fall short, lose, choke and make himself look bad.

Yes, but I have a feeling you're only tired of them because they correctly bash your precious Kliq. :p

Actually, I can. Pretty easily. Though I doubt they'd get away with it, either.

I would kinda expect the Triple H line, the weapons and blood line though? Is someone busy suing the WWE?

Yeah, but it's HHH, so of course everyone is going to dive on it.

Or, and this could be detrimental to your conspiracy theory, it's because an official memo DEMANDING that a THIRD PARTY do something specific (We're not talking commercials, really), which didn't happen with No Mercy or any other game prior to this....

By extension, nobody complained about Triple H in superior positions in previous ads/shots, though he usually is.

Sorry to rain on your man-crush.

First thing I will do when I get this game is beat Triple H into a bloody pulp with someone like Evan Bourne and post pictures of it all over the internetz.
