CM Punk is Your WWE ’13 Coverboy.

Best in the world.
Well holy shit. That cover is just filthy. WWE ’12 was alright, but it certainly had a bunch of flaws (mainly the Road to Wrestlemania single player campaign). THQ has promised that WWE ’13 has fixed almost everything. One thing I was really bothered by was how they simply recycled wrestlers entrances from years past instead of having them come into the studio and re-record their newer, more in-depth ones.
For example, CM Punk’s entrance is pretty specific. He enters, drops to one knee, runs his fingers through the imaginary sand, adjusts his watch, taps it, sometimes presses his ear to it, then cups his mouth and yells “It’s clobberin’ time!”. Then he sort of winds up for a punch while simultaneously spinning around, arms stretched out. Basically, he turns his back to show you “Best in the World” on his t-shirt.
That entrance is pretty specific and recognizable. Instead, they have Punk kind of Ric Flair “Woo!” which isn’t what he does. It bothers me a lot, and it’s THQ’s inability to recognize details like those that make me not want to buy any more wrestling games from them.
Apparently, they’ve overhauled just about everything, from Punk’s actual entrance to Chris Jericho’s entrance with his lite brite jacket. That makes me giddy. The only problem is it comes out October 30th which is the same day Assassin’s Creed 3 comes out. Oh well, I’ll make it work.
Seriously though, guys. A year ago, CM Punk was a mid carder who we all knew was the best in the world. A year later, he’s been WWE Champion for 6 months and is the WWE ’13 coverboy. And we all thought he was dead after the Summer of Punk.
