Also, via twitter, THQ_Tank spilled the beans about Brodius Clay also being DLC later.

That's just to start with, more to be released soon.

P.S: Also, we know about Trish Stratus too.

Meaning that there's 8 more to be revealed.

Jim Ross being playable is a surprise, as is Brodus Clay being in. The others we expected, but it's all good.

I can see it now...Reaper and Novaar vs Ross and Cole a No DQ match...they are going to bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed!

TAKE THIS AS RUMOR FOR NOW.

But apparently there is a bit of a messup on the THQ boards.

From what I understand there are two types of 404's on THQ's site. One that has images of wrestlers tell you that you are on a page in progress, and other ones that just redirect you back to the page.

machomanrandysavage, batista, brodusclay, mickfoley, kharma, trishstratus, aliciafox, briebella,
nikkibella & vickieguerrero..... are names that supposedly lead you to a custom "work in progress-type" 404.

Everything else you type in, merely redirects back to the roster page.



So... that could be the DLC, including the ones we know now.

Oh, and Mick Foley is now official........... thanks to WWE Magazine.

Yup. WWE's official magazine just spilled the beans on Mama Foley's Baby Boy.

Playable JR, lol!

Nice to see Edge & Christian in there. Not particularly interested in the rest. I'll probably buy it all though.

Randy Savage isn't a massive surprise, but is a nice addition. Batista also isn't really surprising. Foley everyone has been expecting anyway.

Kharma is a surprise though. TBH, I didn't expect her to make the cut.

The rest of the women I give not a toss about, and will only end up getting because they will be included in the Fan Axxess season pass.

Mike - I bet you're delighted about Alicia Fox being in.

And Myron, the Reaper and Novaar won't be teaming up in this game. Its going to be the Trinity of the New Dawn (Novaar, Luke Shand, and Fireball) versus the Reaper and his associates as the main feud.

Trinity of the New Dawn...I like it...I like it a lot!

She already makes more sense than you do most of the time ;0)

I thought you might like that.

I thought that...it's why I kept it in!

I'll probably build most of my CAW's into stables for faction wars. Hopefully this year the game won't just break them up willy nilly and pair them up with others. That was so annoying.

I hope they take alternate attires for Foley. Cactus Jack costume please!

I suspect they may have a few alternative ones...he's had enough!

They just released the Diva DLC's which ALL match up perfectly with the leak.

So it is absolutely confirmed. (By the way, the only Diva I care about is Kharma)

The DLC is Jim Ross, Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler, Mick Foley, Randy Savage, Shawn Micheals, Batista, Brodius Clay, Nikki Bella (god dammit), Brea Bella (god dammit), Trish Stratus, Kharma, Alica Fox (god dammit), and Vickie Guerrero (eh, i'll have her as a manager but that's it)

Excluding the useless Divas, the stupid Bellas, and Alica Botch, this IS a pretty good lineup and it's ok. Of course, there are some very notable names whose presence missing from the game will be felt and very sorely missed. Especially DDP and Jericho who I was really hoping for, but alas it was not to be. eh.

Still, i'm glad that each character is about 80 points, because a lot of these seem to be announcers, and useless Diva's, but eh. It's not terrible all things considered, even though I would have liked more legends and past superstars that were more noteworthy. But I can't complain about JR, Lawler, and Cole, because as Cory has said "Look at how much they've been on TV." Can't argue with that too much I suppose.




P.S: I'd like to give a special thanks all across the entire internet to all of those Diva-fan whiners that constantly deluged THQ's Twitter and kept saying "you hate women, you're sexist, you don't care, your game sucks" that caused us to have to download Nikki, Brea, Alica, and Trish, instead of DDP, Jericho, Bret Hart, and Mr. Perfect.

The four names that would have taken a great roster and put it over the top as the best and most complete ever in a video game. I don't blame THQ, I blame the Diva fans. It's already bad enough we had the ones in the game, now we have 4 more useless-ass characters that neither I, nor anyone else, would ever want to bother with. Good job. Thanks.

When it comes to female wrestlers, as you all know I like GOOD ONES. Which is why I wish that WWE would just leave Divas out of the goddamn games, for once, and have them all be creatable, because they are all so bottom-tier, it's not even funny.

But it is what it is.

I'd also rather they left them out of the game altogether. The Divas are such a ridiculously minor part of the game experience that it's pointless devoting that much time and attention to them.

But it's a good roster, and CAW mode will of course flesh out the gaps

On that, we definitely agree.

To be honest, I think creating caws of Div-- no... FEMALE WRESTLERS.. (I have to remember to say that. I hate the word "Diva". Does WWE even realize that the word "Diva" has a negative connotation of "snobby, whiny, high-maintenance, unprofessional, drama queen shrew") is as far as it needs to be in.

Not only do I spend a LOT of time creating female wrestlers of my own creation... But I also feel like, if I wanted someone like Alica Fox, Mickie James or Nikki Bella in my game, I could just create them, since I'll only use them 5% of the time or less) and that I don't need THQ models and dedicated character slots for them.

It's like how there's always the barely used guys and jobbers, and NXT rookies and such that we always have to create every year, because they are on the current roster, but are small-time and barely featured, and the Diva's deserve to be lumped into that category, so they should just be made by the community.

If they would cut the useless characters out, but merely provide the means to optionally create them, and make caw mode more female wrestler friendly than it is, that would be perfect.

basically, I would be happy if they were all relegated to CAWS, so they could fit important wrestlers like Jericho, Bret Hart in there. Because those two especially not being in this game is actually quite disappointing.

And if I had the choice of either removing Chavo, Santino and Kidd, or removing Nikki, Brea, and Alica, you bet your ass i'd remove the latter. Alica Fox is NO substitition for Chris Jericho for instance, and never will be.

That's a shame that Chris Jericho didn't make it in this year. I wholeheartedly agree with you Mike. They should make female wrestlers optional. I don't think I've ever played a women's match in any game, except maybe that game where you had to hit each other with pillows and rip each other's clothes off, but that was only to see what all the fuss was about. What a waste of time.

It's a shame Jericho isn't in but I'm guessing there's all the bits to make him so it's not a big problem if there are. As for the women, as Mike says, there seem to be a market for them. There must be some drive to try and get money from female players too, although it must be said I think this is one of those games that is very men focused. But spreading out is how you make the dollar cash!

I'll play one women's match - I'll have Kharma crush 5 of the others in a 6 women scramble match for the Diva's title. Then once she has it I'll make the title inactive, move all the women to the inactive roster, and never have to deal with them again.

STOP ASKING FOR JEFF HARDY TO BE IN IT HE WILL NEVER BE IN IT NOBODY LIKES HIM "

This made me laugh. If nobody likes him, how come he's consistantly one of the most created CAWs in the SvR games? Some people have no clue what they're on about.

Exactly! The comment is a contradiction! He may have fallen from grace but there's still plenty out there that would make him!

There's perhaps less love for Jeff than there once was, but he does retain a certain popularity. And with classic Edge and Christian in, it's certain people will make the Hardys.

I honestly find myself agreeing with that comment, jaded asshole that I am.

I honestly don't ever want to see Jeff's mug on another WWE product ever again, as well as I, too, am absolutely sick of seeing him constantly being requested, when he'll never be in the game and never should be.

Personally, everytime some kid screams online that he needs to be in the game, I want to backhand them. So I applaud that comment for, what I think, is finally putting it like it is.

And I also honestly think that Jeff's final exit from the company is the one i'll always love to remember him by.... Getting smashed in the head by a Straight-Edger. I'm only irritated that he never even took that hint.

I'll probably DL Matt & Jeff tbh. Old school versions anyway from like 9/10 years ago

I think you should have to take an intelligence test to be able to go on the internet

Jeff will always remain one of my favourites and so I'd always include him. After all. if we never created wrestlers who had issues with drinks and drugs, Mike, we'd have a very small roster!

Well, it's not just because of that, really.

I stopped giving him chances after the first 4 times he either quit, took his ball and went home, failed to crawl himself out of a gutter, no-showed events, had gotten fired or caused embarrassment to himself, and the companies he worked for on a regular basis. Then there's his embarrassing displays on the internet including tasering his girlfriend.

Also, I was never a fan of his singles push at any time. It always baffled me and I thought it was undeserved. I used to be a fan of Jeff's as a Tag Team Wrestler, but around the time that the Hardy Boyz dissolved, so too did any of his credibility.

In recent years, I had gone from pitying Jeff to just begin irritated and repeatedly embarassed by the antics of him and Matt both. Also, the more that he began to fly solo the more I noticed just what a really bad wrestler he is when he doesn't have someone to carry half a match for him.

So, it really isn't just his drug abuse, but a combination of many of the choices of his that caused him to be looked upon badly in both WWE and even TNA as time went on, and his near lack of notability as a solo performer. As far as his ability I think time has shown that Jeff never had what it took to be in the business aside from being a decent tag team specialist. Maybe a forgettable mid-card enhancement talent that got old and tired in a few months.

The general public had basically turned against his sloppy and severely lacking in-ring ability over time, with me being one of them. Take away his ability to tag in and let someone else take half of a full match for him, and his ability to fall from large distances, and there's really nothing much there talent-wise.

And as far as a person, I consider Jeff and Matt both wrecks of men, that I would be happy to never hear from again, to be bluntly honest.

Their day as a decent tag team was back in the very late 90's, but that day has long since passed for either of them.

So, just to be clear, you DON'T like him, is that what you're saying?

Quote :

tasering his girlfriend.

Hahahahahahaha, what a lad!

Yeah, pretty much. It's just how I feel, really. Not everyone is going to agree, i'm sure.

But I just really lost massive respect for both of them over time. I thought they each had multiple, multiple times during the last several years to regain some of that respect, but they just continually do things that make them fall further and further away from it, until I have no more chances left to give. That's all, really.

Each to their own
