After playing WWE 12 last year, I’d sooner take a flaming steel chair shot to the face and then receive a pedigree from Triple H into ring full of thumb tacks than experience that mess again. Broken, frustrating and with a difficulty system as cheap as your girlfriend, the game was a far departure from previous highlights. WWE 13 is out later this year, and hopefully, it can be the exact opposite of that no holds barred disaster.

Or you could just use the character editor to actually make those guys for yourself, as guides to do so usually pop up on the net, a few days after launch. The sports entertainment simulator will be out towards the end of this year.
And if it plays anything like WWE 12, it’ll soon be out of my window as well.
