It's ok guys, John is still on the Special Edition cover.

 

[krae_man]

More like a total douche on the cover.

 

[G-Fex]

LOL CROWD BLOCKED BY THE BIG WWE GAME SIGN

 

[Deleted member 8095]

People on twitter are dumb:

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Punk barely got out that "luck is for losers" in the most awkward way

 

[Ultratech]

It's ok guys, John is still on the Special Edition cover.

I figure it'll be an alternate cover. Just for lulz.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Bryan and Punk should wrestle with that cover unfolded lol

 

[RBH]

Way to mess that speaker up Punk!

 

[A Pretty Panda]

I wasn't watching did he actually sit on the gum?

 

[jmdajr]

I wasn't watching did he actually sit on the gum?

Otunga saved him

 

[G-Fex]

People on twitter are dumb:

Wrestling is so happy?

 

[Penguin]

That.. was.. a segment to reveal a cover for a game...

Are they going to work a trailer into a promo next week?

 

[Jackson50]

That poster must have learned to sell from Cena.

 

[MetatronM]

That.. was.. a segment to reveal a cover for a game...

Are they going to work a trailer into a promo next week?

You new here or something?

 

[Officerrob]

That.. was.. a segment to reveal a cover for a game...

Are they going to work a trailer into a promo next week?

And the game doesn't even come out for like five and a half months!!!!

 

[G-Fex]

Better than revealing the Kelly Kelly cover of some stupid ass magazine.

 

[bangai-o]

twitter still uses gay as a derogitive. blame Obama.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Hyping a game coming out in over 5 months instead of a world title match. They are actively trying to keep Punk and Bryan from talking about their world title match in promos. There's no way this isn't done on purpose.

We should get the Sin Cara cover on Smackdown

[Skilotonn]

Poor Big Johnny looked so sad when he went up the ramp

 

[Dark Ninja]

It makes sense revealing the game on RAW now that THQ wont be at E3

 

[Kaladin]

For the archives.....and the oldest is at the bottom.

 

[Keyser Soze]

GO TO IGN!!!

They will say it looks good, and better than last year1

 

[cr_blah_blah]

YES!
YES!
YES!

 

[Professor Beef]

 

[The Frankman]

We should get the Sin Cara cover on Smackdown

The game would be called WWF '13 then.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

PUNK: YES
BRYANT: NO

 

[Brinbe]

Can't even muster up the enthusiasm for a Yes

 

[Bowser]

PUNK: YES
BRYANT: NO

LOL

 

[Lingitiz]

Fuck this crowd.

 

[NihonTiger90]

How much money did IGN dump into THQ's lap for the exclusive?

 

[jmdajr]

I dont have a problem with them pushing the game

 

[darkside31337]

Plenty of games get advertised 5 months in advance. AC3 and RE6 have already had TV ads. Nothing wrong with WWE trying to get suckers to buy a shit game 5 months in advance. They are less likely to know its shit.

 

[butter_stick]

Bryan is over with a mark crowd.

Tim to turn on him.

 

[RBH]

PUNK: YES
BRYANT: NO

 

[Ithil]

How do you even add a T?

 

[somedevil]

Can't even muster up the enthusiasm for a Yes

Well this just did muster it up. Also, this is more of casual crowd.

REPOST

Okay, here is IGNs Preview history with the "Smackdown" series. I have noticed that every year there is hope...

IGN WWE 12 Preview

SmackDown vs. Raw is dead, and THQ's fixing the stuff you complain about.

http://ie.ps3.ign.com/articles/117/1171529p1.html

IGN Smackdown vs Raw 11 Preview

One match is never enough to judge a Smackdown game, but WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2011 seems like it's set to capitalize on what worked last year

http://ie.ps3.ign.com/articles/109/1099546p1.html

IGN Smackdown vs Raw 10 Preview

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 has me very excited to play the final game. When I got my first hands-on with the title, the TV-like presentation had me jazzed, and the fact that this creation stuff is so slick is only adding to that feeling.

http://ie.ps3.ign.com/articles/102/1023111p2.html

IGN Smackdown vs Raw 09 Preview

On the surface, the match looked and played a lot like last year's. True, Orton an 'taker looked more detailed and sharper overall, but the chairs that were around ringside still had the same satisfying steel-to-skull sound and the controls stick with the tried-and-true thumbstick format. However, as the match wore on, the little tweaks began to shine through.

http://ie.ps3.ign.com/articles/891/891429p1.html

IGN Smackdown vs Raw 08 Preview

After playing with the new controls ourselves we can attest that the single-button system keeps the matches fluid and fast-paced. It also helps that the new submission system is analog-based as well. How much pressure you apply and how quickly you pump your arms around someone's neck is now entirely up to you -- as is your defense to it, as escaping a grapple is handled with the analog sticks as well. All in all, it's definitely an improvement over last year's edition.

http://ie.xbox360.ign.com/articles/802/802648p2.html

IGN Smackdown vs Raw 07 Preview

What we did see was some extremely impressive visuals and the kind of action wrestling fans have grown to love from the Smackdown series.

Forget Edge/Foley, if you're looking for someone who stole the show Wrestlemania weekend, look no further than THQ.

http://ie.xbox360.ign.com/articles/699/699522p1.html

IGN Smackdown vs Raw 06 Preview

Officially known as WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2006 (a title meant to reflect its new direction towards a sports and simulation feel), the new game from Yuke's Media Creations and the Toy Headquarters is undoubtedly the most ambitious game in the series so far. The brand new momentum system, the addition of attributes like Stamina and Hardcore, improved reversal mechanics, enhanced online features, and a host of other cool improvements are just a few of the several-dozen extras planned for this year's wrestling extravaganza.

http://ie.ps2.ign.com/articles/631/631085p1.html

IGN Smackdown vs Raw Preview

WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW is getting ready to hit the PS2 like a ton of bricks this fall. Easily one of the most, if not the most, anticipated sports game to come out this year, SmackDown! vs. RAW could very well have sales in the same unbelievable range as the previous entries in the series.

http://ps2.ign.com/articles/533/533582p1.html

IGN Smackdown Here Come The Pain Preview

WWE Smackdown! is quickly shaping up to become one of the greatest wrestling games ever made. Normally a statement that's met with a great deal of skepticism, the claim that THQ's fifth interpretation of the UPN television show can pull off such a feat is quickly becoming more and more accepted in the hardcore wrestling community.

http://ie.ps2.ign.com/articles/432/432542p1.html

IGN Smackdown Shut you Mouth Preview

We'll have to wait much longer for everything to come out in the wash, but most of what we saw today seemed fairly promising.

http://ie.ps2.ign.com/articles/367/367167p1.html

IGN Smackdown Just Bring It Preview

WWF SmackDown! Just Bring It is a respectable effort from THQ and Yuke's.

http://ie.ps2.ign.com/articles/165/165128p1.html

IGN Smackdown Know you Role Preview

THQ delivered gameplay last time, and now they've delivered almost all the trimmings to go with it, including a very complete, up-to-date roster and a much-improved create-a-wrestler mode.

http://psx.ign.com/articles/164/164828p1.html

IGN Smackdown Preview

With incredible graphics and a plethora of cool features, WWF Smackdown is, far and away, the best wrestling game on PlayStation.

[Kaladin]

Of course a mark crowd would be a Punk crowd.

 

[BillRiccio]

When is Kane going to interfere? I just know were not getting a singles match at the ppv.

 

[Brinbe]

Punk with the Cena-crowd chants, unbelievable.

 

[bean breath]

Wonder what's running through Bobo's mind when he goes to the TNA meet & greet? Forget what's running through his mind, I know what's running down his leg:


PISS.

Bobo is going to piss himself when he's face to face with TAZ!

:lol

 

[MetatronM]

"Speaking of coming out!"

 

[Seraphis Cain]

We live in a world where Big Show vs Brodus Clay is higher on the card than WWE Champ CM Punk vs Daniel Bryan.

I'm not going to the meet and greet. Actually been thinking about selling my ticket to Slammiversary unless they announce something cool on Impact. Angle and AJ locked up in a tag match is disappointing plus now Flair is gone and Alex Shelley is gone so we won't get a MCMG match. Very disappoint in TNA's build to the show.

 

[darkside31337]

We live in a world where Big Show vs Brodus Clay is higher on the card than WWE Champ CM Punk vs Daniel Bryan.

Ratings would indicate that would be the correct call.
