Wrestling games are very hit and miss but I mostly enjoy them when they take an arcade approach. WWE All Stars is a fine fighting game. On the more traditional yearly release the create a character mode is always a joy. I can spend more time doing that than in the ring.
Pro Wrestling always has been a guilty pleasure. I find it's best in short controlled portions. You watch every hour they broadcast your brain starts to mush a bit, but once a month you just kinda tune in, have a beer, see some athletes do some amazing stuff, laugh a little at the ridiculous stories, it's all in good fun. It's great material for video games. I'm sure 2K will pick up where THQ left off.
When I was a kid I loved watching wrestling, but I have always liked the video games. In a way I find them less cheesy. I hope 2k does a good job with it.
If anyone from 2K is reading this. Seriously, custom wrestlers using your own face, taking entrance music from your own collection, your own pyro and tools to make your own big screen video in the background. Not that I'd make myself a digital bad ass or anything....
