WWE has reached out to 20-30 former talents about appearing on the 7/23 Raw taping, which will be the 1000th episode as well as the first three hour episode of the series. The plan is to have a lot of cameos and nostalgia on that show.

If there's a god, he will be deemed unfit to wrestle because he's too fucking fat and ugly.

Now that EA grabbed the UFC license from THQ, the WWE license is probably coming with it. Maybe they are announcing they got that today too.

Old people will bury young people, except for Cena who will be friends with them. Also no one there will know any of the old people. Hooray. What a great idea for a show.

 

[jmdajr]

Legitimacy has been brought to EA.

WWE to EA? Holy shit!

How?

 

[Keyser Soze]

Dana is fucking lair, and a pig

 

[BoboBrazil]

WWE to EA? Holy shit!

How?

THQ sold the UFC license to EA to get money. Maybe they sold the WWE license too? Doubtful they would announce it before WWE 13 comes out though?

 

[TOM f'N CRUISE]

Mirror's Edge 2 looks great....

dumb question cause i just woke up... was there a ME2 game and did it look good??

 

[Keyser Soze]

No. Sorry, i was just messing about.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Not yet but the conference isn't over. The EA YouTube stream kept playing the Mirror's Edge theme before it started. So who knows?

 

[Keyser Soze]

THQ sold the UFC license to EA to get money. Maybe they sold the WWE license too? Doubtful they would announce it before WWE 13 comes out though?

THQ know WWE is on thew rise, and UFC is about to fail, so they chose the right one to drop

 

[Professor Beef]

No. Sorry, i was just messing about.

I refuse to shake your hand anymore.

 

[G-Fex]

My favorite wrestler is the CandyTaker.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Well the WWE games always sold more than the UFC games didn't they? Either way either EA gets the WWE license this year or next. THQ won't be here next year. Of more concern is what happens to the WWE Allstars team? They were supposed to be working on the UFC game and that's why there isn't an Allstars 2.

 

[TOM f'N CRUISE]

damn lol.

 

[G-Fex]

Maybe they're making UFC All Stars.

Another CM Punk radio interview where he comes across as an ass, though the host was a bit too much of a mark. http://www.wrestleview.com/viewnews.php?id=1338837279

The DJs were those two terrible drive-time radio personalities that you find in every damn city, so I can't really blame Punk for not playing into their bullshit.

THQ Inc. (NASDAQ: THQI) and Zuffa, LLC, today announced that they have reached an agreement resulting in Zuffa licensing to Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) the right to publish videogames based on the Ultimate Fighting Championship® (UFC®) brand, effective today. The agreement results in an undisclosed cash payment to THQ. Additionally, THQ will continue to publish its existing console and mobile titles through March 31, 2013.

So THQ basically sold the UFC license to EA.

I'm getting the feeling that WWE '13 may be THQ's last WWE game.

I am weirdly excited for Nintendo to show off their new stuff, and the last time I was really excited about Nintendo, I also was excited for WWE. This is a weird feeling

 

[G-Fex]

I'm excited for Ryback.

 

[Perspicacity]

I'll give any "retro" or "legend" Raw a pass so long as I don't have to see Mae Young degraded in any way.
So far, no Raw has received this honour.

After her huge table bump, Mae Young can doe anything she wants for the rest of her life IMO

 

[Keyser Soze]

that is weird

Nintendo is weird

That Nintendo Direct video last night was like watching a Lost Dharma video

 

[G-Fex]

Hey Soulplaya, I bet Twilight would be better with Kane and Lita instead of Edward and Bella.

[Keyser Soze]

 

[G-Fex]

Only if Brock gets together with John Cena , so much sexual tension.

Essa Rios sucked.

 

[TOM f'N CRUISE]

[Perspicacity]

I imagine that Da Undatakah will be playing the role of Sharkboy in Twikane?

 

[jmdajr]

I'm excited for Ryback.

Undertaker never had any romances except *shudder* Sara.

He was going to marry Steph but that wasn't love.

[CrunchinJelly]

Anyone else looking forward to Raw? Sounds like Vince has gone through a dozen rewrites which normally indicates a good show.

I trust Vince. He knows what he is doing. He turned a circus act into a multi-million dollar industry that is known and respected worldwide. How can he possibly be wrong?

Never seen it, but of course, it would be better with Kane & Lita.

Honestly .... I dont think anyone decent would buy the WWE licence.

Didn't Undertaker have a brief romantic (albeit, abusive) relationship with Teddy Long?
I know that he did in that erotic fan fiction I wrote

This could be possible.

EA gets UFC video game license (updated)

The official announcement of a deal that had been weeks in negotiations was made today as EA Sports has obtained the UFC video game license from THQ.

This was announced this afternoon in Los Angeles. 

THQ was trying to unload the license, which is not a good sign for the company, and EA was willing to purchase it and UFC okayed the deal.  THQ had stated in a recent filing that the third edition of the game sold above expectations, but industry sources had stated sales were down from the first two editions, but that the most recent game was still profitable for THQ.  But the profit margins were down.

Dana White had been heavily critical of EA in the past, particularly when EA Sports released its MMA game a few years ago using Strikeforce fighters, fighters from Japanese organizations and using Randy Couture, who had inked a personal deal with EA while out of UFC, as its headliner.  The game got strong reviews but sales were poor.  White during that period had recounted when EA, under different management, had rebuffed them in a way White found insulting when they tried to get a video game deal with them when the company started its popularity climb. 

"We'd like to thank THQ for creating some of the most critically-acclaimed sports videogames of this console generation, and we're excited to enter a new relationship with EA that will help us deepen our connection with fighting fans around the world," said White.  "There's no one better at creating authentic sports videogames than EA SPORTS, and we're excited to have a partner who shares our vision of deep, connected and multi-platform global game experience."

Brian Farrell of THQ claimed it was part of THQ's more focused strategy going forward so tranfering the license made sense to all parties.
