You've actually missed out on some solid titles (SVR '06, Def Jam: FFNY).

WWE SmackDown! Here Comes The Pain referee wins

I really miss this Smackdown theme.

I didn't know the game glitched like that.

There is also another glitch involving the old bra and panties match. Give a diva the People's Elbow for a finisher. Rather than removing an elbow pad, she will remove her top. Do it a second time and she removes her skirt/pants, then the game gets confused and locks up.

I watched a friend lose a tables match once by having accidentally grappling the referee and being powerbombed through a table.

I love that the game even "thought" enough to give the SD theme song to the ref for his winning animation. Hilarious glitch.

I remember how the first copies of SmackDown!: Here Comes The Pain! would start melting if you played them for too long and would end up breaking Playstation 2s. That's how I lost my first PS2.

Same here. It broke my 2nd PS2.

THQ announced today that six of the fourteen remaining to be announced for WWE 12's roster are Divas. I would assume we'd get the Bellas, Alicia and Melina will probably be there like Mickie James last year where she was in the game but not revealed until later because she was released before the rosters came out.

Would Mickie be allowed? I don't remember if RVD was in TNA at the time of last year's game's release but Mickie sure as hell is. I honestly wouldn't mind Trish and legend Medusa being added to the game.

 

[Mattdotcom]

If they add any Divas Legend, it should be Sensation Queen Sherri.

He means that last year Mickie was in despite already being gone...not expecting her to be in this year. TNA contracts are weird (shocker) and there are outs for some of the people that allows them to sign their own licensing deals. WWE generally isn't in the habit of putting someone working their in their own games. I'm pretty sure that Foley could have been used the whole time he was in TNA but Vince didn't want to. They did use Hogan in All Stars...but not Flair who probably could have been.

 

[Mazto]

Should be, but Trish would be the easy first pick for a game.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

Trish is in the game as per Chris' finding a url of her rendered model way back.

 

[Mattdotcom]

Awesome Danny Davis-esque Glitch in SvR '11: We were doing Demolition vs. The Mega-Powers. Sid Justice got to run in and decimate Hogan while the referee never looked. Demolition hit a double flapjack on the Macho Man. The referee counted to one until Smash got out of the ring, then dropped down to count the pin, counted to two, and rang the bell. Surely Jack Tunney will review this footage.

Medusa in a WWE game? Your best chance of finding that game is to look in the bottom of the trash bin where she dumped the WWF women's belt on a rival promotion's live TV show.

 

[ChrisMWaters]

6 of the 14 are Divas.

BULL NAKANO CONFIRMED! ...yeah, I wish.

 

[Damaramu]

I know I'm late to this party but I bought WWE All Stars today. I really enjoy it. Though I do hate how you have an opponent in the red then he makes a huge comeback and kicks the shit out of you to get you to his level. My roommate was complaining about the cartoony look of the wrestlers but to me it seems like an homage to Wrestlefest.

 

[A Happy Medium]

I should have All Stars coming into the mail tomorrow from GameFly. I look forward to a weekend of cartoony fun.

 

[Damaramu]

I figured out one thing that borhters me. The fact that it seems hard to do reversals and every time I do one they reverse my reversal!

 

[Thoth]

WWE All-Stars is some sick hybrid of Dead or Alive and Smackdown. If you do a little research, you'll find that each character has basically only one combo you want to use, yet somehow it's really satisfying to connect.

 

[ChrisMWaters]

Apparently according to THQ, Tyson's more a super-heavyweight than Crash Holly was.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

It's funny, sort of - I was going to jokingly ask if Lawler comes out to that theme they gave him for a week before WrestleMania, figuring "why would he?".

He does

 

[MillenniumMan831]

Does Demolition come out to their creepy 1991 theme?

 

[Rendclaw]

Here comes the Ax, here comes the Smasher... the Demolition, walking disaster..... pain and destruction is all they know, man....

I loved that song.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

Does Demolition come out to their creepy 1991 theme?

Count me in as a fan of that one as well.

 

[MillenniumMan831]

I'm the only person on Earth that finds it notable that the post-cool Demolition theme played for over three minutes during Smash's entrance during the 1990 Survivor Series Showdown.

[The Amazing Rando]

CATTLE MUTILATION?!

and when was the McGillicutter first named as such, since I mentioned that name like the first time he was ever on TV using it.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

The Osaka Street Cutter has been in like, a whole bunch of video games. That's why I call it that and not "Suplex Stunner".

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

No WWE-ized Busaiku Knee (since Trent Barretta uses it)? Expected, but it'd be boss to include it.

 

[Smues]

Apparently this comes out next week. How have I not heard about this yet?

 

[fazzle]

From what I hear, it's not a wrestling game at all. Just a collection of wrestling themed mini games
