WWE 12

From JR's Blog (via PWInsider): "Expect to hear a major announcement Tuesday from WWE/THQ. Arguably the biggest news to date from WWE on the video game front."

If that's true, it has to be an engine change or a philosophy change. Can't just be a name change.

Well, we have "create a story", "creater a wrestler", "create an entrance", "create a sign/tattoo/symbol", "create a move", "create a stable" and we've had "create a taunt", "create a PPV" and "create a belt" in the past.

I remember that guy that does all the interviews for SvR on game sites saying they would try and do "Create an arena/ring" this year.

Maybe they'll have the game be about our own brand or federation. We create our wrestlers and their signs, moves etc. Design the ring, arena and titles. Create rivalaries and alliences and try to run our own brand/fed.

I've always wanted them to bring back the ratings system from Smackdown2. Where it showed you how many people watched your show/PPV and at which points.

So it would be cool if that's what it was but I can't really see it. If they ever do that, I'd like them to give us a budget that we have to keep up by selling merchandise and setting ticket prices and stuff.

Maybe make it "Monday Night Wars: The Game". You go head to head with WWE, try signing their talent while trying to stop them signing yours with offers of better pay and more tv time. All the while trying to keep ratings up with interesting matches, stories and rivalries.

So in a way, like "GM Mode: The Game" or like the Football Manager Series?

Jim Ross knows jack all about videogames, so yeah it can. Also, wwe people always make every little thing out to be THE GREATEST THING IN THE HISTORY OF EVER.

Over the past couple of years, I honestly think they've surpassed Tony Shiavone in ridiculous overstatements.
