WWE ’13: THQ Makes an Offer to Attitude Era Wrestlers

Word has it that WWE Superstar X-Pac, whose real name is Sean Waltman, is not too happy to say the least about a recent THQ offer made to him and some other members of the former “Attitude Era” in wrestling. If you don’t know yet, the “Attitude Era” was a period that covered the years from 1995 to 2001.

Fans go back to this era with fondness, thinking about how the D-Generation X was formed by Shawn Michaels and Triple H back in 1997. Michaels retired in 1998. So, there was a revival afterwards. Meanwhile, Stone Cold Steve Austin rose to fame in 1997 and a year later as WWE Champion. The “Attitude Era” has been able to offer what could well be the best and most talented wrestlers in the history of wrestling. Recently, it looks like THQ has offered X-Pac and other wrestlers from the Attitude Era low amounts due to the fact that they do not currently hold either a WWE or a Legends contract. The dollar amount involved has not been specified. Hopefully, THQ and the wrestlers in question will be able to work things out. The good news about this whole thing is that WWE 13 may be including the wrestlers of a well-loved era. Do you want to see more wrestlers from yesteryears? I really would want to see more of the “Attitude Era” guys because a lot of the memories from that period can no longer be viewed. It would be interesting though how this era will be translated to WWE 13.

We could at least appreciate the effort THQ is exerting to make use of characters based on wrestlers from a great past era. It would be nice though if the contracts with the wrestlers are clear and fair. Of course, we cannot really comment about how fair or unfair the present offer is, not really knowing what the amount is like.

If you haven’t heard already, The Rock is now available a a DLC for WWE 12 and gamers want him more than they want John Cena. Check out  the related news after the link!

    I say for the new WWE13 game they should put c.m. punks, chris jerichos, undertakers, triple hhh, daniel bryans, & Kanes Wrestlemania 28 atterie becasue the atterie the wwe superstars wear are cool as every wwe universe will like too see that in the game also putting Booker T’s atterie from the Royal Rumble of 2011 and putting Big Show his wrist tape in the game. The Fans would like too see in the game Goldberg, Xpac, Shawn Micheals with his Wrestlemaina 26 atterie, Kevin Nash with his 2011 Atterie, and Hulk Hogan for fun. I hope you get the chance to read this beacause the fans as myself would like too see this in the new game WWE 13 please take a chance to read this.

    They should lets us create a Submission finisher  and new ground position for the create a finisher mode.  As a side note, put new submissions in the game and makie them breaking point holds (espeially back positions). Instead of putting them in the game as a boring old wear down submissions.

    Please THQ put the Bow & Arrow Hold in the WWE 13 as a breaking point submission seriously. Because CM Punk done it to Rey Mysterio thrice (3-times), Drew McInctrye (1-time to Rey), and Code Rhodes (1-time to Daniel Bryan). READ THIS

  • Chris

    Accoring to what Criag said about THQ should put the Bow & Arrow Hold in the WWE 13 as a breaking point submission. Plus you guys posted this on your official website too. It should be in there for sure due to these current wrestles of the following.

    CM Punk (vs. Rey Mysterio 3-times at Smackdown, Night of Champions, Capitol Punishment)
    Drew McIntrye (vs. Rey Mysterio 1-time at SmackDown)
    Sin Cara Negro aka Hunico (vs. Sin Cara 1-time at Hell in the Cell)
    Code Rhodes (vs. Daniel Bryan 1-time at Tribue to the Troops)

    Please guys put some old school holds in WWE 13′ game as breaking point submissions, especially the Bow & Arrow Hold.
