Micheal Cole and Trish Stratus are in the game (and playable)

That's right.

Micheal Cole.

Ugh.

Two of the character renders (that perfectly match the others) were found hidden on THQ's WWE '12 site.

it's Micheal Cole with the headgear and the orange singlet.


Well, on the upside, at least he'll be a perfect butt-monkey to abuse in the game, when you feel like pounding someone to dust.

(Not posting the renders here, because they're biiiiiiiiiiig.)

I assumed Trish would be in. Cole being playable makes sense and I quite like the idea. Like you say though, he shall go through many tables.

I sincerely hope that his overall is the first ever in these games to dip below 60.

Personally, I think his rating should be a more than charitable 12.

Randy Orton was less than 60 in SYM if I recall correctly. He was like the Paul Bearer of the original SD PS1 game. Like, just about on par with the Divas, hahaha. And on that storyline in season mode he's always the jobber that gets fired for a few months.

Next game that comes out he's on the front cover!
