| THQ is announcing the full roster that ships with the game (including unlockables and legends) on August 13th.
They will NOT be announcing the DLC members of the Roster on that date, however, and will be releasing info on them at a later date, following the in-game roster reveal.
So you know what that means....
Only about 8 days left until everyone start bitching and throwing fits because Kharma, Mason Ryan, Jinder Mahal, Johnny Curtis and Brodius Clay won't be in the game, so they won't be buying it, it's "da worstest roster evea" and how THQ failed again and "blah blah complain." >_> | |

| Oh and the legends announcements. Everyone else gets butt-hurt about that. It's never good enough for anyone. Everyone that goes in was either "in every game" or "sucks" because they're too young to remember who Jake Roberts or Mr. Perfect are. But seriously. Whiny fan dread aside, I'm kinda looking forward to it. Becuase it's not to much "whose in and whose not", it's more about "What are they gonna look like and what attires will they have" that makes it so interesting. ........not that everyone else doesn't bitch and whine about that too, but you get what I mean. Those who appreciate such things will love seeing this reveal. I can't wait. | |

| UPDATE: Just found out that not EVERY CHARACTER in the game will be revealed. One of them is a "Mystery Character" that will be revealed in Septmber, instead. HMM.. Who could this be? Randy Savage? Maybe. Deisel? Possibly. There's also rumors going around from Mick Foley that he claims he recorded voice overs for the new game. It's very likely Mick Foley in one of his personas. (Probably Mankind) Could it be a returning person coming back to the WWE for real in September, and that's why there's the wait? Although it could just be Steve Austin, Shawn Micheals, JBL, or someone else who doesn't work for them now but was recent and is still in good with the company. Who knows. But whenever someone says "Mystery Character" it certainly brings up speculation. | |

| Its almost certainly Mick Foley. I think it very likely that Foley will return to the WWE this Autumn, probably in an on-air GM role. Either replacing Teddy Long on Smackdown, or else being revealed as the mysterious RAW GM.
As for the roster, everyone always bitches. But how often would anyone be likely to play matches as lot of those udnercard guys? Face it, with he exception of giving Zack Ryder a push to the WWE Championship, the chance are we are going to book the big PPV main event matches, or else use our CAWs. So if Mason Ryan and the Usos aren't in, I'm not sure I care that much.
I'd really like them to follow the All Stars example with DLC and do themed packs. "Greatest tag teams" with LOD, Demoltion, Rockers, Hart Foundation, Bulldogs. for example. | |

| Yeah, I never undrstood why people get so shitty about the roster. If you really want some undercard wrestler in it THAT MUCH, just make him! Internet video game fans are the worst. No one's ever happy >_>
I don't care what the roster is. I don't use WWE wrestlers except when forced to. I just make a Joxide CAW and use that for everything till I make other CAW's. TBH I didn't recognise most of the names from last year's installment.
As for Legends, still not really worried. I think they should release some kind of WCW bolt-on package with WCW wrestlers, arenas, trons, music etc. but that's probably because I'm a WCW mark | |

| I'm sure the WCW Arena will be in again this year by default. They like to do that with their DLC from a previous year... they try to put them in next year outright.
Seriously, the WCW Arena was the best thing about SVR11, I think.
Even after I finished off everything else in the game, I still went back, downloaded about 50 WCW guys, put in their proper music, and went to town.
Whenever I go back to SVR11, I just like to only pick WCW, and play as that roster. It feels so awesome.
I think it's just this feeling of WCW games in their day, never looking as graphically sharp as games these days do. So, anything nostalgic, recreated with current graphics is just awesome.
That's why I'd really love a bunch of ringside stage sets like Classic WWF, Raw Is War, RAW (with the bronze entrance sides and trapezoid tron), Old Style Smackdown, ECW Bingo Hall, WCW Blue And Yellow, WCW Nitro, and WCW Thunder. | |

| I'd certainly like a WCW Nitro and WCW Worldwide arena. Would be nice to also have an AWA and FCW arena as well. | |

| I still have my fingers crossed for Create-An-Arena.
If that's not what their "Big new create mode" is, that'd make me a saaaad panda. | |

| Create An Arena will blatantly be in, won't it? I might have to buy a 2nd hand Xbox360 when this game comes out so I don't have to make all the CAW's again | |

| I have two Xbox 360's. Some stupid asshole chucked his in a dumpster by my house, presumably when he couldn't get it to read a disc. It had a disc read error. I found it in the box sitting gently in the dumpster at 3 in the morning. I took it home, messed with it for about 12 minutes. Got it to work. His loss. My gain. | |

| Yeah I remember you saying when you found it. I went to Cheddar carboot sale the other day and bought 2 SNES consoles with leads & controllers for a 10r. Ebay!! | |

| I like how you guys in the UK got a SNES that looks a lot like Japan's stylish Super Famicom.
We in the US, on the other hand, got some bizarrely bulky grey and purple thing. | |

| What I liked more about the SNES was the ease with which you could get it to accept games from any other territory. Double cartridge adaptor slotted in the top, put a UK game in the back slot, import game in the front slot, hey presto, your SNES is all region.
If they manage to combine Create an Arena with the paint tool, you could see some brilliant results. It'll be a matter of days before all the WCW/ECW/ROH/NJPW/AAA/AWA/ etc etc arenas will have been made. | |

| Yep, I can't wait. I really hope they have Create A Brand too. Fair enough if you're not allowed to mess about with SD! and RAW but I don't see why you shouldn't be allowed to make your own. This year's edition we might actually be competing in a CXA ring | |

| I'm thinking of going retro and recreating a World of Sport Arena for a showdown between Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks | |
