i thought they did do that, maybe it was the aew game
As far as I know they don't. But it would be so cool. Cause right now it's basically just picking a skin lol. Like as much as Raw 2 wasn't great, I loved that feature

You ain't missing much. The story was very uh. Not much to it tbh. I played it alot as it was all I had at the time but definitely not something great. All the wwe xbox exclusives are like that.

GameCube however, the Day of Reckoning games ruled

Been a hit and Miss show this week. Was banging opener of a match with Knight v Priest but once again DQ happened. So we probably gonna get Fatu and Solo v Priest and Knight. Just wish trios would think this through a bit more.

Randy promo as always delivers when needed. Rest of show was meh.

Chelsea with Piper and Alba as security is so random and yet it just works, although I'd still wish they kept Isla around

Rey Fenix isn't going to be able to do that finishing move for long, his poor knees...
