Quantcast



If you can look past the lame PowerPoint slide (or as the Apple kids call it, Keynote), and the neatly numbered WWE Superstars, you'll discover our good old friend "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will be making a triumphant return to our video game consoles this fall. I don't know about you, but I tear up sometimes when I think back when Mr. McMahon would end up on the mat after a "Stone Cold Stunner" every Monday night on Raw is War.

These days, wrestling kids are stuck with their PG programming on "Raw" and something called a Kofi. If middle-fingers and bald men are your thing, maybe grabbing your copy of WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2010 at your local GameStop is the answer.

What exclusive DLC would guarantee your purchase? The Ultimate Warrior, maybe Bret "The Hitman" Hart? I'm always game for a good "Montreal Screwjob."

Finding out the Montreal Screwjob was real and not scripted or planned rocked my world as a child.

I loved Bret.

Nowadays I laugh though. Wrestling games are fun, but watching wrestling is not, at least not anymore.

The thing that I hate about this is that I have no idea how international users are gonna get this DLC.

I'd pay some MS Moondollars for Stone Cold.

They should kick everyone except Stone Cold out of the game.

He's the only thing that made it worth watching.

I'd but it for The Rock. He kicks ass. Not such a great actor though....

The fact that we've had him, Rock, Bret, Hogan and others as unlockables in the past, makes this no big deal. What would secure my purchase for this game? Good game play that we haven't seen in the States for a decade.

last year they were only unlock codes

this would suck for people not in the US (like me) if its exclusive dlc

Only in the WWF has it ever been customary to break glass before entering a room.

If there's one thing I will always take the opportunity to be condescending and elitist about, it's "wrestling." The lowest possible form of entertainment. At least cockfights are authentic. Once Andre The Giant died, it all went to shit.

I saw the Montreal Screwjob live. It was one of the best moments of my life: watching such an awesome moment in TV history.

Already available wrestlers as DLC?

Wow, that is cheap, THQ, REALLY cheap.

You already have his movesets and character model in a gazillion SvsR games!

you should have seen summerslam earlier

the cena orton match was so ridiculous that someone from the crowd came in and choked the referee out! for real

i doubt its scripted after seeing cena's reaction to that

and they ended the match quickly after that

If I was interested in this game (which I wasn't) before this information, this would be enough to guarantee I would not purchase it.

Back when I was into wrestling, at a much younger and more stupid age, Stone Cold was entirely my favorite wrestler. The three stores listed there for whom this DLC is exclusive? We don't have them here. All we have is Wal-Mart and Hastings. The closest Gamestop is 60 miles away.

The problem with the question "What exclusive DLC would guarantee your purchase?" is that it is entirely backwards. Exclusive DLC will NEVER make me purchase a game. It will ONLY make me NOT purchase a game.

I don't know why game companies think that any other outcome is possible.

If there was a way to remove John Cena from the roster and eradicate all mentions of him from the game, i might get it
