Bankrupt THQ owes WWE $45 million, Vince McMahon "furious"

"WWE (NYSE:WWE) is listed in THQ, Inc.’s recent bankruptcy filing as an unsecured creditor holding a claim of approximately $45 million reflecting the entirety of the existing multi-year agreement. Any impairment of a current THQ account receivable would be immaterial to WWE's financial statements. Even if the impact of THQ’s bankruptcy were detrimental to WWE, the Company does not believe that the ultimate economic impact for financial statement purposes would materially and adversely affect the results of operations or financial position of WWE in light of the strength of the WWE brand and the historical performance of WWE's video game business."

They could have lost more campaigns with that!

So, if THQ isn't making the next WWE game then who are the leading candidates? I know we all want the AKI system back, but I gave up hope of that returning a long time ago. If it's a new developer we probably want to avoid the next game like the plague since it'll likely be glitchy as hell (not that WWE 13 doesn't have its fair share of problems - one count problem being the biggest among them).

FWIW, Yukes will probably still be the developer, there will just be another publisher putting it out, if anything.

Ah, well joy with that.

I love how my Universe books Ken Shamrock like he's a wimp. He was supposed to fight Steve Austin on the last two Primetime's and he keeps backing out and putting other guys against Austin. His first selection was the Godfather, who got destroyed, and his second pick was the Miz, who also was defeated. I expected more out of "The World's Most Dangerous Man."

For those who have played previous editions, what does the title "Tonight's Highlight Match" mean? It has said that for three straight weeks for a Jericho-Rikishi match (Jericho has won all of them).

Santino and sin cara are my world champions following me simming the whole game to wrestlemania from extreme rules. Cue me amused.

My simming has led to babyfaces Drew McIntyre and Wade Barrett. Also: Cody Rhodes booked like Dusty Rhodes.

Does that mean they put him in dashing polka dots?

Popped WWE 13 in today as I hadn't done much in Attitude Era and kept having the AI screw up the Outlaws-Warriors match before getting sick of trying.

That match is pissing me off. Hitting the one Road Warrior with a belt in the 10 seconds the referee is knocked out is huge pain in the ass.

I don't remember having problems with that, but I always make sure to play on easy to easily get the whole story experience.

Yea, I don't think I had any problems at all in Attitude Era mode, with the exception of Undertaker beating me 2 or 3 times in the HIAC with Shawn Michaels, because he kept turning my signature elbow into a Tombstone lol. But I think everything else I got on the first try.
