Awww Ken Kennedy. One of my new faves and out of action for six months.

You can make a character who looks like a ring announcer and beat him up though! :)

Yeah it would be great to mentally and physically abuse the ring announcer like Ted Kennedy does.

A lot of my Australian friends are mad that everything gets to them later than here. I will enjoy reading your review and thoughts on the game.

I took Eddie on a few adventures. It was sad but he had to beat "The Wrestling God" one more time.

Thank you for your comment. Gaming isn't something I pick up quickly. I have two kids, though, who play almost nonstop - usually RPG games. I wish I had their knowledge.

I just felt like this game should be reviewed by someone since it really is that good. The realism is amazing.

Thanks again for reading and commenting. I was very nervous about posting this review in unfamiliar territory :)

You sure you don't want to contribute more to the games corner of epinions. Arm chair gamer or not, you would be a great asset!!

This game ain't out yet in Australia, so I'm not pleased :( But when I eventually get it, I'm taking Eddie Guerrero through season mode so he can stick it to JBL once and for all.

Cheers for the great review, and one day, I'll review this game as well, so I'll be in good company!! LOL

See ya later

Thank you!

I was scared to post this because I am not very technical and almost didn't but I figured since it wasn't reviewed, even a Helpful review would be better than no review. (I was hoping to muster some H ratings).

I am flattered :)

I really enjoyed reading your review and the fresh perspective you brought to it. You did an excellent job not just explaining the game, but also gave us lots of insight into wrestling.

I also liked how you added your sons comments in there, that was a nice touch.

Needless to say, I'm impressed.

I'll stick to lip gloss and websites, TYVM. I did enjoy the challenge but the attention to detail made my head pound. :)

Reviewing stuff like games, books, and movies is actually very formulaic. Once you read enough of the good ones, you know what needs to be covered. As the games get more complex, I suppose the reviews will, too.

Well, I am a chick who works in wrestling. The hot thing kind of passed me by. But it worked out. I make a good living off something I love.

Thanks for the generous rating. I am sure to get some low rates because I truly am not a gamer. And this game needs about 10,000 words to truly describe it all. In the end, I felt like just saying, "Here's the money, go buy one. It's easier than explaining it."

I don't envy you guys writing in this category! lol

Thanks.

The Rock is not too happy with Vince at the moment but he will probably end up making an appearance at a WM at some point. I don't think he is totally done with wrestling but Vince let his contract expire so he could show up in TNA or anywhere he wanted if he so desired.

I think if and when he does return, it will probably be in WWE though but for the short run.
