[Master Thrasher]

I think Legends of Wrestlemania probably didn't sell to well and they decided not to release those characters to it.

Doink, Earthquake, and the Bushwackers don't even have a tron or music. Doink's model also looks not great. Grr!

I also read this on wikipedia:

On April 14th 2009, 9-year old Damori Miles of Brooklyn, New York, fell 31 feet to his death as he tried seemingly to imitate Jeff Hardy's Swanton Bomb by diving from the roof of his apartment wearing a makeshift parachute. He was pronounced dead an hour later at the Interfaith Medical Center. He was apparently inspired by WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 authorities report. His mother said all he did was played WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009. Miles had special needs support, and was left alone at his apartment whilst he plummeted to his death

Blame video games!

well that sums it all up there, its GTAs fault.

 

[Smues]

That is really awful that those four were added to Svr09 and not LOW. Yeah I bitched about them as LOW additions, but they at least make more sense there than in SvR09. Wow I can do that epic dream match of the Sheepfuckers vs the Hardy Brothers. YES. And they don't even have MUSIC? That is beyond lazy. Trons I get, but how hard would it have been for them to include their music?

 

[Sabre]

Gotta love legends without music. Reminds me of HCTP i belive, all the legends had no music and had wm 3 mini rings.

The funny thing is I picked Vader randomly and was impressed they had his titantron on top of his music, but I quickly realized he was the lone exception.

 

[vivisectvi]

I don't understand why they'd be so lazy about it. I mean, I know we can do custom tracks so the music isn't an issue.. but how is it that they can't just get the old trons for these guys? They got it for Vader.. did they forget to ask for the other ones or something?

 

[Precious Roy]

I'll pay $5 to play as Vader in that game. The other guys are total jobbers. Lazy to not give them the works on presentation, but whatever.

I do question why they're bothering with this content when there are three current title holders (Jack Swagger, Primo, Maryse) not in the game, plus Christian, R-Truth, Mike Knox, Kozlov, Shane Helms among others, and they could probably throw a bone to Hacksaw or Goldust or Funaki

 

[Perfxion]

The only reason I can think of no 'Tron from Doink and Sheepfuckers(TM SK) is that they never had them back then. I don't think Andre and Studd have them in LOWM.

 

[daileyxplanet]

How hard would it be for WWE Mulitmedia Dept. to make one for all of their legends a TitanTron-type video? Thousands of hours of clips. But Andre having a tron would be just weird considering he doesn't have music.

 

[vivisectvi]

They did do that for LOWM.. every wrestler has an entrance video, even Andre & John Studd. Which makes the whole thing even more dumb that Earthquake and the others don't have them.

 

[ChrisMWaters]

Especially since all of them probably had Trons at WrestleMania X-Seven in the Gimmick Battle Royal.

I specifically remember that Slaughter had one. Mainly because they showed it on the broadcast and not just in the background on the tron.

 

[Aero]

Actually, with the exception of Mean Gene, Heenan, and the video clips they showed for the Gooker and Slaughter, no one had Trons. Of course, they did give trons to a bunch of the wrestlers who made appearances every few years (Doink included).

Droese and Goon didn't get Trons?

But they were there in the company when Trons were just starting. Back when they had the multiple TVs Tron.

 

[Aero]

It looked like no one else got trons as the few times the camera was showing the big screen, it just showed the live shot of the wrestler making his entrance, like Repo Man.

BTW, it looks like I messed up what I meant to say above. At the end of that quote, I meant to say that the guys who made several appearances later on, like Doink, EVENTUALLY got trons, just not at WM 17.

 

[Matt Young]

I downloaded the free patch that allows you to use and/or play against DLC wrestlers online. I didn't buy either of the character packs. But, somehow, I got Vader for free.

AAA El Videojuego. Coming to the US.

 

[Sabre]

Im playing smackdown vs raw 2008. Is there anyway to change your fighting style during career mode. Im using a CAW Christian and im stuck using dirty tactics.

 

[Matt Young]

It's been a while since I've played that one, but I believe you're stuck with it.

I still need to go back and boost for some of the online achievements in that game. I'd suggest that we do it, but you're probably playing on the PS3, right?

 

[Sabre]

Nope, 360ing it.

 

[Matt Young]

Oh, well then, do you have Live gold? If so, I can find someone to delete and then add you to my friend list. Not just for that game, mind you.

 

[Sabre]

I do indeed. gamertag = SABRE FTW

 

[Baby Shoes]

Last night I put in Smackdown vs RAW 2009. I figured I should get all the unlocks/achievements before the fall when the new game comes out. Last night I completed the Mysterio/Batista achievement. I was just on MyGamerCard to see where my points stand and without knowing the Mysterio achievement was achievement number 619 for me. Booyaka booyaka.

Konami has an AAA game coming out.

Looks like they stole the TNA Impact game engine, virtually similar entrance and gameplay looks.

 

[A Happy Medium]

La Parka....in a next gen title? I'm there.

 

[Danville_Wrestling]

I don't see that title selling well @ all in the states.

Well, most people gave that game good marks for the engine and said that it was a good start, so with refinements, this should be even better.

I don't think they are shooting that high as far as sales figures, but if it's different enough from the WWE games it should do ok.

I've finally got round to playing RvS2010 on Wii and it's not all that bad.

However, the created wrestler story is fucking infuriating. It starts off easy enough, but then you have a 2 on 1 handicap match with no instruction on how to win, then you have to win a 5 way match and then have another 2 on 1 handicap match with no instruction on how to win!

I fought Jackson and Koslov to a time limit draw in Vince McMahon's office! I don't even know how to win.
