That's fine if that's just for the screen shots. If all the attitude stuff have the new gen logo, then yeah, that would be lame.
I AINT FALLING FOR THIS **** AGAIN AFTER THE MASSIVE LET DOWN WWE12 WAS. I'll let you guys buy it & let me know if it's good or not.

I honestly thought wwe 12 had real nice gameplay things that really brought it down for me was the limited universe mode, awful CC servers , announce team  . Other than that I liked it a lot. if they really fix these things its a wrap
 
Damn, didn't know Ziggler was 32, I was thinking he was 28-29

Strategically placed "Mouthful Mondays" sign

It would also be the last WWE game from them as there is heavy speculation that they could go under soon.

Of everything that happened this past Monday, I'm still trying to wrap my head around AJ being made the GM. Why?

Ziggler just caught a filthy Brogue Kick. We're not going to see Sheamus lose anytime soon.
 
As of this writing, it appears as if nothing is set in stone as far as the Rock appearing at next year’s WrestleMania 29 pay-per-view.

GI JOE 2: Retaliation, which The Rock has the lead role in, is set to open nationwide on March 29th, just one week before WrestleMania 29. WWE does a full media blitz in the week leading up to the event.

Reports indicate that Vince McMahon is very optimistic that The Rock can balance his New York-related GI Joe media appearances on the east coast with WrestleMania.

WWE officials are hopeful that they can piggyback The Rock promoting WrestleMania while hyping the movie, getting extra value out of his appearances.
 
- With the ratings success of the weekly “Legends” segments on Raw, WWE’s booking committee are considering making the feature a regularity by having one former Superstar brought back on every show.




- Estimates for No Way Out pay-per-view call for 200,000 buys. Because WWE has offered skewed numbers on WrestleMania 28 pay-per-view buys throughout their business reports, it’s unclear what the exact number is for No Way Out.





- There have been a lot of comparisons made backstage regarding how World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus is booked similar to how Triple H was booked a few years back with very few clean losses and lots of protection. It’s no secret that The Great White and The Game are close off-camera.




- At last word, John Cena was not booked to win the WWE Title from CM Punk at the SummerSlam pay-per-view next month. Cena is scheduled to face Punk in one of the SummerSlam main events.

The plan going back months has been for Cena to get back in the WWE Title picture at Night of Champions from his hometown of Boston. A source expects to see Cena capture the WWE Title then.

I hate them.
 
Finished up the Road Warrior Animal autobiography today..Another solid book..Animal did what few others have done with their books, he kept his childhood/early years to about a chapter and got right into the wrestling stuff..He had a ton of great stories that were very well written..I'd definatley recommend this book..

Found out a few things in the book I thougt were really interesting..
-Didn't know that the first person they worked for was Ole Anderson and he put the tag belts on them before they even had their first match as a tag team..
-Pretty much confirmed what I've read in other books about Flair..Basically said he was nice guy, partied extremely hard, and had the respect of damn near everyone..
-Animal, Hawk, Rick Rude, and Scott Norton all traned under the same guy at the same time..They all used to work at the same bar together..
-I knew LOD founded Zubaz, but didn't know they were doing about 50 mil. in business during the brands peak years..
-As of the writing of the book Animal wasn't employed by WWE..I could have sworn he was a road agent, but I guess after his last match for them they never called him back to work behind the scenes..Maybe he does now, I'm not sure, but I thought they'd have loved to have a guy like him working behind the curtain for them..
-His oldest son not only fought overseas for the National Guard, but he's police officer in Dayton, OH which is my hometown

Just started reading Hardcore History: The Extremely Unauthorized Story of ECW..Let ya know how that one turns out soon..

I was intentionally stingy with the first category. You can't go wrong with any of the ones in the first or second.
 
Thank you 4w..I've not seen alot of those books on that list..I'm going to figured out how to save that whole thing and start reading them all..Have you personally read any of those books?..Which do you recommend I start with?..I've read Jericho, Foley, Bret Hart, Ric Flair, Chyna, DDP, Animal, and Rocky and SCSA's books..And you guys would be surprised, but Chyna's book was better than Rock's and Austin's books..I don't know if that's due to the people who did the actual writings style, but her book seemed more informative..

The only ones I read were Bret's, Foley's, Rock's, and Jericho's books way back in the day.  I don't really enjoy reading, though I am interesting in learning more about the territory days of pro wrestling.
 
Thanks DC for the link..There's even more books I haven't heard of..I'm going to do some ebook shopping..
