welllllllll they said there would be alot of surprises in RAW and it sounds like i'll be getting gamecube for WX8 now to get the pay-per-view or use that money to help w/ the gamecube and WX8. Hmmmmmmm oh well the bottomline is i'll get it when i get it.

Wrestling is... ermmmm..... boring and fake.....:confused:

It may be fake but it's fun, funny, and it's good entertainment.

Some people are jaelous of peoples products.... is that your problem MAX PAIN if so your like wussy nitendo........oops that slipped

I can understand Ure wanting to spend alot of money for wrestling related stuff. I've got two friends who go nutz for wrestling. I couldn't believe some of the expenses they were incurring to attend some of the events, but I guess if u're having fun that's all that matters.:cool:

*acts like a GCN fanboy*

muwahaha....welcome to the dark side!!! I knew something would get you here; just wait till Too Human comes out!!! Muwahaha!!!

*realizes he couldn't resist the "green side"*

Ahem.

Seriously folks, this game is the better of the two, and this game is only half-done!!! Looks definately promising for the rest of 2k2 for GameCube....

*drools over Metroid, Rune, PSO ver. 2, Skies of Arcadia, Mario Sunshine, Star Fox Adventures, Kameo, and Eternal Darkness*

*looks at Morrowind, Malice, Brute Force, Enclave, and Project Ego launch dates*:confused:

Looks definately promising for the rest of 2k2 for Xbox, yep...;)
