Was smackdown that important?.....

Well the flying handbags suggests....

http://www.news4gamers.com/ps3/News-5815.aspx

According to staff at WWE euroshop and at THQ, the WWE have been upset over the annoucement by THQ, for dropping this years addition of its ever so popular smackdown series for the PS3.

Staff at WWE euroshop have even stated that they,ve been told not to sell THQ' s videogames until further notice.

THQ signed WWE to10 year contract to publish the WWE games on various platforms every year.

According to THQ reps, the WWE have a profound relationship with Sony corp, and have felt cheated by THQ over the annoucement.

Since the contract began, Sony have supported the WWE for 23 pay per views and 41 house shows and tours, and use to sell Sony products at its WWE store in times square.

Rumours did spread a while back that the WWE were looking to part with THQ and sign with a bigger company (EA probably), but THQ held there ground.

If this story of a rift does get bigger, i doubt THQ will have the WWE on its books.

so what is everyones take on this?.

I never understood the whole thing with " wrestling" its all fake anyway...

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

But why are they kicking up such a fuss over it?. It' s kinda sounding like a girlfriend convincing a guy his mom is a devil witch scenerio....

I have NEVER liked wrestling, the only one I actually played for longer than 10
mins is No Mercy on the N64.

There are two rules to success:

1. Never tell all you know.

Yea I dont like wrestling games either I get bored like 5 minutes in.

I on the other hand LOOOOOVE well-designed wrestling games.. I' ve been playing Wrestle Kingdom from 11 a.m. this morning and am still playing it as we speak.I guess that' s 11 hours so far

Wrestling and Nascar games are designed for the Redneck/Hillbilly population of the United States, these people have low IQs, dont go to school past 3rd grade, practice incest and are responsible for voting in some of the most fucking retarded presidents the US has ever seen.

They are infatuated with stupid shit like Wrestling and Nascar - because they' re stupid, stupid people like stupid things, I think it' s pretty embarassing for Nascar to be the US' 2nd biggest " sporting" event and for Wrestling (Fake wrestling, that is, real wrestling is unpopular here) to be up there as well. It' s especially embarassing when you consider real sports like football (soccer) have a very low following in the US.

How can you like nascar and wrestling more than soccer? Seriously? You have to be fucking retarded IMO.

Or too look at it another way, humans tend to have a diverse amount of interests in many many different things. Just like your mommy and daddy had an interest in eachother and well... I guess I do agree that certain interests do lead to levels of severe retardation. However, for the most part there' s no reason to rip on others interest just because it doesnt conform to your own. Hell you sound more like one of those individuals who would side up woth Bush if you think about it.

This guy must be one of those hillbillies, go back to fucking your sister and think up of something better besides mom/dad jokes, kiddie.

Should I take a cue from you and think more along the lines of incest jokes? I suppose talking about you lifestyle could be ia bit more interesting...

I' m not joking.

And learn to spell for christ' s sake.

" You lifestyle" ?? " be ia" ??

I' m sorry I don' t speak retard.

Ok fine fine fine you' re right, your incest fetish should be taken seriously and we should look to help you rather then poke fun of it.

*yawn*

Yeah, you' re lame and retarded.

And learn to spell for christ' s sake.

" You lifestyle" ?? " be ia" ??

I' m sorry I don' t speak retard.

Gasp you' re right! Ahg the heavens forgive me for my typographical errors! I do apologize. What I was trying to say is, " You are one fucked up individual to think fucking your siblings is perfectly fine. As well as licking daddy dearests cock. We should get you help A.S.A.P.!"

That more your language?

*yawn*

Yeah, you' re lame and retarded.

Thats yawn must be your way of holding back the tears...I' m sorry it' s ok little buddy. I' ll stop for now let you re-group.

ZZZ

First mom jokes, and now trying to use my own shit against me and failing miserably.

How about a little originality.

So nothing more to say then? Alright, well that was fun.

tottaly agree

But wrestling while in videogames isn´t that bad since it´s not fake.

I guess Smackdown is the kind of game that would interest to EA since they like make a lot of those sport sequels.

I just don´t understand why they always make stupid upgrades to Fifa every year, ProEvo in the other hand keeps getting better and better. The problem is that many people still buy Fifa games.

Really don' t like wrestling and games or anything else associated with it, however I suppose it' s a fairly big deal for sony losing the game as a number of people do like it.

It' s nice to see one company care about it' s relationship with another company, and someone who is actually on sony' s side. Great they need the support, I hope for the sake of ps3' s mass market appeal that the game gets put on the machine.

Otherwise, I couldn' t give a flying F***.

Aha-ouch! I felt that all the way from here.

Yea but uumai what could thq have done...I don' t think it' s about sides they' re just over reacting in my opinion if for whatever reasons they couldn' t continue with the development of the ps3 version i' m sure they would be valid but to refuse to sell any thq games is a bit....unprofessional based on sony' s not being on the market in time.

You guys are all hillbillies IMO.

OMAGOSH.. Dasher, I have a grandmother exactly like that!

Who knows .....with her behaviour I wouldn' t be surprised if we' re related....*that grandmother of mines*.

Evil man, seems you don' t have a nice thing to say about anything or anyone... why are you on this forum again?

Sorry but I must simply deduce that this forum is full of Rednecks/Hillbillies with open minds, who try not to judge too harshly, someone who enjoys something we don' t.
If you want your opinion and no one elses, well then f*** off, because frankly, and I' m sure I' m not the only one, your more worthless to me than sh!t on a stick.

Shit on a stick is great fun if you have someone to chase it with .

So obviously YOU' RE right and those MILLIONS of fans are wrong. Gotcha!

I suppose if what you say is true then that would mean that the belief some have that ALL gamers really are pimple-faced geeks who can' t get laid must be true as well.

Entertainment such as wrestling is supposed to be fun, not intelligent.
Or does anyone here play videogames or watch soccer because it' s " intelligent" ?

In my previous post i agreed with Evil man since i never enjoyed to watched wrestling, at least the one from WWF. And come on, those stupid macho dialogues before, during and at the end of the fights are just one more element in the degrating show that is WWF.

I understand your point of view ginjirou but soccer is at most of the times an unpredictable sport played with a lot of effort by the players while in WWF they don´t even touch eachother...they fake the punchs and kicks.

This quote was the main reason of my reply. My previous post was rushed because i never liked WWF but i didn´t mean to do any sort of generalization, that are kind of different people in those events. But Hillbillies love to mimick WWF " wrestlers" .

but i didn´t mean to do any sort of generalization

Any sort of generalization? Sure?

But Hillbillies love to mimick WWF " wrestlers" .

But yeah, Wrestling sucks ass, Games based on it are better, but I still have no love for them.

Mental midgets tend to immitate video games as well, or that' s what they like placing the blame on when they' re caught

" Grand Theft Auto made me do it!!"

Idiot fans from both the video gaming and wrestling sectors have claimed lives by immitating the stuff they' ve seen on-screen.

I' ve seen various types of people mimic WWE/WWF wrestlers, not just " Hillbillies" , in fact I' ve seen way more non-Hillbillies doing such mimicking, so if Hillbillies mimicking wrestlers is supposedly the measuring stick for " stupidity" then that doesn' t really leave much hope for the rest of society I would think

I' ve never been a big fan of the WWF/WWE, and thankfully it' s not the only game in town. I tend to enjoy other alternatives more like TNA NWA and Japanese wrestling like the New Japan Pro Wrestling stuff and some of the other organizations there..

Terry Bogard - currently the most Unhelpful member of the Kikizo forums.

I like wrestling not because of the fights but because of the characteristic fighters (actors) and the funny dialogues they have.
The " story" behind each person and between the fights is also something I enjoy.
Wrestling should NOT be viewed as a sport. It' s more like humourus acrobatics.

Any sort of generalization? Sure?

I know i did but that wasn´t my original intention...i should have expressed better.

" Grand Theft Auto made me do it!!"

I didn´t mean to say that it was an excuse for hillbillies behaviour but that WWF wrestlers attitude would a macho role model for them.

But that one made me remember that guy that played a lot of FF7 and killed his parents with a katana.

It' s funny when you see someone who does something ' wrong' and the blame is placed, either by parents, the person, government, or whoever, on games or films.

Seriously, games could be full of sex, corruption, extreme gore and/or violence and no ' stable' person is going to try and kill/rape/steal or stupidly mimic what they have seen.

There are age ratings for a reason, and maybe they should look not to the particular media, but instead to themselves.

I think people on the whole actually like looking anywhere but within their own space for an excause. Lots of people play games and manage to remain sane. I don' t like the wrestling games but doesn' t mean no one else will.

What is wrong with you man i mean hell you dont like anything man i like evryone here man but you take the cake you sound very ig·no·rant an what you say is very mean Please check your self. And have a nice day im sure you will say something dumb or just down right ig·no·rant but its cool have a good one

I like wrestiling, well I used to anyways, now I don' t care for it but the games are still fun.
The main reason people like wrestiling is because of the characters, once you get to know them and their personalities and story then it kinda pulls you in just like any soap opera.

Every playstation fan boy will tell u now that this game will not make a difference...But i remember how ps2 owners used to mock the xbox folk about how they are stuck with the lame Raw series where as the ps2 enjoys the ' awesome' smackdown series .. Now that the tables have turned , they say its irrelevant .. TYPICAL ...

As far as wrestling is concerned , everybody knows its fake but ppl still watch it .. I watch it when there is nothin else worth watchin on tv and i must say its kinda fun ..

Wrestling is for morons.
