I really dig the exaggerated art style. That being said, I won't be playing this.

Those body proportions are a bit off-putting. I get that they're going away from realism, but... ew.

Was that a Ricky Steamboat sighting?  I think this would make the first ever video game appearance of The Dragon, but I'm not 100% on some of the older games.  Not enough to make me buy it, but still pretty cool.

This looks awesome; it's about time THQ gave us a new, from-the-ground-up wrestling game. The fact that it's "NFL Blitz" style just makes it all the more sweeter.
 
On a related note, I have trouble looking at Roddy Piper these days and not thinking about "Da Maniac" on Always Sunny in Philadelphia got so pissed off about $15, or how he supposedly kept calling Mac the N word behind his back :)

I got to play this game at PAX (it was hidden in the MadCatz booth) and I can't decide if it's stupidfun or hellafun. It's fun one way or the other, though.

@fozzyozzy If it has create a wrestler I sure as hell hope THQ have the good sense to patch in a finisher called the Casey. I'd buy it for that.

Does it have Create-A-Wrestler?  I much more gel with the idea of using a cartoonishly beefed up version of myself to throw John Cena into the rafters.

They nailed the current roster.  Kofi is a bit of a wtf but everyone else deserves to be in the game.

I don't really watch much wrestling these days, so I know very little about Cena.  The only real impression of him that I have is that he looks more like a fratboy dudebro than a pro wrestler.  I miss the 1980s. "

His look stems from his original persona as a hip hop thug.  Back then, he was a fun character, I thought.  Of course, the writing was also still good back then.

This actually looks like an awesome party game: assuming the controls are simple enough for guests to get into.

I'm somewhat of a lapsed pro-wraslin'' fan, but this game has me very excited, Now if it only had Big Boss Man and Bam Bam Bigelow it would be perfect.

I agree. This will either be the best or the worst thing ever. The idea of a wrestling game with air juggles is crazy awesome. The roster is great too its just a shame that the art style is ugly.
 
Also: Cena sucks.

This game better have voice over. I haven't played a WWE game in years, but I will always remember how  besides crowd noise, the matches were always awkwardly silent.

Cool, I remember WWF Raw for the SNES to be the only wrestling game I really enjoyed playing and every wrestler having pretty crazy special moves. I had so much fun playing this game with a friend.. it's nice to see some of the crazyness (not the same though) in this game.

He, after all, was sent in a capsule. From a place not from here. 
 
As for this game: OOOH YEEEEEEEEAH! DIG IT! 
 
Edit: This game looks like how Vinny Mac wishes his guys looked: jacked up to the gills and larger than life.

Umm....the ratio of awesome wrestlers seems a bit skewed in the favor of the older generation.Then again,I've got no clue who half of the new people are,so that opinion might be somewhat biased..... ;-)

Looks like it could be fun for a weekend. I kinda dig the ridiculous over the topness of the moves. I wonder if this is supposed to be this years Wrestlemania game though, where its aimed at a completely casual audience and is incredibly easy.

Right........
 
A gymnastics battle, maybe. But until Morrison has one of the greatest matches ever at Wrestlemania, he doesn't win any wrestling battles vs. Savage.
