That storyline's fucking stupid. CM Punk's entire deal has been about wanting change... from guys like HHH who're near 50 and still run around telling people to suck it etc. He basically said as much in one of the interviews with HHH.

1. Its just a video game, not real life. BIG difference there.
2. The attitude era wrestlers are based on there prime days. So I could see this happening. Considering the overall theme with the IWC is very typical. "We want Attitude era. PG era sucks!* This is a storyline CATERING to that demographic of the "Smark" audience. I wouldn't be surprised if they remixed a classic scene of Undertaker putting Austin up on the cross for a sacrifice. Only difference being. Substitute Austin for Cena. lmao!

eh... I still think in the context of the story it would make sense for Punk to lead the current roster and GM Triple H, or Austin who kick-started CM Punk's rant last July to lead the Attitude.

Treat this as a rumor until confirmed
- WWE 13 will use the same THQ servers as WWE 12 did for Community Creations. They have spent a lot of time fixing the WWE 13 portion of the servers and this is a reason the WWE 12 ones were never completely fixed. Time and money!
- Despite rumors WWE 13 will not feature attitude era theme songs or titan trons for wrestlers/groups not in the game.
- Gangrel was planned for the game, but the WWE’s agreement with White Wolf to use the “Gangrel” name has expired. Too Cool and Rikishi were discussed early on, but since then only Rikishi has been heavily rumored to be in the game. There is still a chance Scotty 2 Hotty will appear.
- Much of the WWE 12 roster that is still under contract will appear again in WWE 13. Hawkins, Reks, JTG, and Barretta again have not shown up in any crowd chant recordings that have been done to this point.
- THQ is still waiting on whether or not they can use Edge in the game. As of now they are going with the idea that they cannot, but it is up to WWE’s approval. At the time they got the roster approved Edge was under WWE contract so that is not a problem. It is simply if WWE wants to use Edge and have him receive royalties from the game. Rumor is they have some heat with Edge over not signing the legends deal they offered. The Bella’s, however, have been removed from consideration for the roster.
- A Diva’s DLC pack will be done again this year as THQ liked the response to including more legends by default and having people that wanted the diva’s download them. AJ and Oksana have had crowd chants recorded for them. Lita and Trish are also believed to be in the pack.
- DDP is in the game and is expected to be DLC and not on the default game roster. There are 4 legends in the game I am told that arent considered “attitude era” besides DDP. I am told DDP is the only one of those 5 total that hasnt been in a game for a while. Booker T is rumored to be in the game again. LOD are believed to be in again as well.

Pissed Gangrel ain't getting in, his entrance motions, especially the stage where he rises up would be frakking kickass
Hope Lita makes the cut this year too
Kinda bummed none of the attitude era themes are gonna be in too
Hope all the work they have been putting in for the 13' CC servers is worth it, if they are working from day 1..I may change stance on grabbing this release day

Why wouldn't themes be in? Doesn't WWE own (most of) that music?

Another thing to consider as well. A majority of these "Attitude" characters are likely characters already in the game as the current WWE roster, as "Alt. Attires". For example. The Undertaker will have his current look in. With the "Ministry of Darkness" attire being his alt. outfit. With those being under the same character model. That means The Undertaker will only come out to his current theme. Rather then his Ministry of Darkness theme.
Sames goes HHH, Michaels and I'm sure several others. Its a way for THQ to save money as well. If a theme your wanting isn't in teh game for a wrestler? Do it the old fashioned way and replace it yourself. lol.

Yeah. WWE 12 had like 73-74 guys total, including DLC. This is 3 more then last year. Still a good number. I can't complain so far.
Apparently the old school "RAW is War" & "In Your House" arena's are confirmed for the game too.

Yeah a +3 just on the in game roster itself is a good sign.. with the DLC could amount to 85 or so
Damn those 2 arena and the old Smackdown fist would be sweet
