It's not like the WWE never told anyone not to make Triple H look bad in a video game or anything...

I'm not saying the books are cooked, mind you, so don't twist it, but it wouldn't shocked me if products were just generalised like that. After all, no one outside the business really gives a shit who or what a John Cena is. Even if he sells more than Hogan did back twenty years ago, prior to a business that had gone through such booms as the Attitude era.

Wait...What? Didn't you just do exactly that to the above statement?

Besides, there's a large and tangible gap between telling a video game mag not to show Triple H in a vulnerable position and altering numbers like that.

No, I implied that it's not beyond the WWE to want to make their top stars look good over say secondary players who also make the WWE a lot of money. I didn't say they were doing it in this particular case.

Didn't say you did. Just said you twisted it. Protip: If you don't know, don't assume.

I'm not "assuming" anything. I threw it out there as an "it wouldn't surprise me" comment. Thanks for reading too far into things, though. Seems to be something you're good at these days.
