THQ recently reached out to former WWE Attitude Era stars, who aren't currently under contract with WWE, for inclusion in the WWE '13 video game.

They mentioned Sean "X-Pac" Waltman as one of the names who THQ reached out to and reportedly, Waltman was insulted by the offer.

Trying to get the old fans back to buying the games i see

I read somewhere but cannot remember where that JR and King will be the announcers and that the game will contain a lot of attitude era 'Legends' as X-Pac suggests, although apparently if they don't have WWE Legends deals they are not being offered that much.

I'm not sure whether I'll get WWE 13 or not as I have WWE 12, the servers are still shit, the game itself isn't that good and I can't get to grips with the controls either, it'd take quite a lot for me to part with £40 for next years game

Didn't Sean Waltman actually do a porn SEQUEL with Chyna?

How could you possibly offer him anything insulting?

I think he did not sure, she has another porn out though.

"rumored to focus on "Attitude Era" stars"

THQ officials are dropping the Road to WrestleMania mode for the WWE '13 video game and replacing it with a regular "story mode."

Good. RTW, 3 times in one game, lasted about an hour.

Still would like the GM mode back though

WWE '13 video game that comes out on November 1st, 2012. A video was leaked on YouTube last night but has since been deleted by THQ. The leaked video was a THQ teaser for the game that featured WWE Champion CM Punk.

The tagline for the game is "Live the Revolution."

The video showed a re-creation of the Big Show and Mark Henry spot where they destroyed the ring with a superplex, so apparently you will be able to do that in the game.

Other teases in the video included a new CM Punk entrance and attire, Chris Jericho, Steve Austin, Attitude Era Undertaker, Mankind, Sheamus, Big Show in an Army singlet, Mark Henry plus new RAW and SmackDown side-trons.

The video also showed Chris Jericho doing a Lionsault from the ring apron through the announcers table and CM Punk doing a top rope elbow drop through the announcers table. Austin and Mankind were shown fighting in an old school arena before breaking the barrier and fighting into the crowd.

Glad they got rid of RTM. As good as it was, had no re-playability and could easily be finished in a day.

if they bring back general manager mode i may consider buying it, that would be the only thing

General Manager mode was excellent, particularly on 07 and 08. Should of never got rid of it.

THQ sent out the following press release in regards to WWE '13:

Last summer, one man revolutionized the current WWE landscape. In a legendary moment at the end of Monday Night Raw, WWE Superstar CM Punk -- as the voice of the voiceless -- changed everything the world knew about WWE. Through his words and actions, a new leader emerged to set a higher standard, convey a new brand of attitude and ultimately ignite a revolution among the WWE Universe.

It's not the first time WWE has seen such rebellion. Nearly 15 years ago, the legendary Stone Cold Steve Austin also revolutionized the WWE realm, sparking a new generation of supporters through his relentless, antihero behavior in one of WWE's most celebrated time periods ever: the "Attitude Era." Why did it happen? In his words, "'Cause Stone Cold said so."

Today, a new crusade is on the horizon, and it doesn't start with an iconic WWE Superstar on television, online or at a live event. THQ Inc. today announced development of WWE '13, the revolutionary next installment in the WWE flagship videogame franchise. Positioned to offer the most authentic, extensive and fervent experience to date, including the debut of a brand new WWE Live audio and presentation system, as well as a single-player campaign based on the highly influential "Attitude Era," WWE '13 is currently in development for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation3 computer entertainment system and the Wii system from Nintendo, with a scheduled release date of October 30, 2012 in North America.

"WWE '13 is certain to ignite our enthusiastic, worldwide fan base and encourage them to live a revolution that simply cannot be ignored," said Sean Ratcliffe, Vice President, Global Brand Management, THQ. "WWE Live will bring the impassioned WWE live event experience into the living rooms of consumers, while critical core gameplay improvements and a serious dose of attitude will enable them to experience WWE action like never before."

About WWE '13

WWE '13 will transform gameplay through WWE Live, a brand-new audio and presentation system designed to produce the most authentic and vibrant commentary, sound effects and crowd participation levels ever heard in a WWE videogame. In addition, players will experience the atmosphere, spectacle and fervor of a WWE live event through attention-grabbing Spectacular Moments, including ring breaks and barricade crashes.

WWE '13 will also debut a franchise-first single player campaign based on an unparalleled and groundbreaking period in WWE history: the "Attitude Era." Set during a time of pure raucousness, grandiose personalities and colossal revolution, players will focus on eight purveyors of attitude during the famed television "Monday Night Wars," including WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Predator Technology 2.0, driven by new animations, transitions and modified controls, will return to deliver intelligent, fluid and engaging WWE action, resulting in a smoother gameplay experience than its predecessors. As well, the popular career-style mode, WWE Universe, will dynamically introduce matches, alliances, rivalries and unpredictable moments based on player decisions along the path toward becoming a WWE champion.

WWE '13 will feature the franchise's industry-defining Creation Suite, enabling players to develop and customize Superstars, entrances, arenas, finishing moves, storylines, highlight reels and more, as well as share and download creations with others from around the world. Furthermore, they will compete with a vast array of WWE Superstars and "Attitude Era" luminaries from the largest roster in franchise history, including cover Superstar CM Punk, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Sheamus, Undertaker, Mankind, Chris Jericho, Big Show and Mark Henry. Along with to-be-announced features, a comprehensive roster reveal, downloadable content and big surprises, WWE '13 is poised to live a revolution all its own.

The first eight names have been confirmed for the WWE 13 video game, they are…

* CM Punk
* Mankind
* Steve Austin
* Mark Henry
* Big Show
* Chris Jericho
* Sheamus
* The Undertaker

Am I missing something when it comes to Mark Henry?

It seems every bit of promotional material seems to mention him as some kinda big draw, like he's a WWE legend or something.

Also, would WWE have rights to WCW stuff like Sting, Hogan and Goldberg? Or is that just individual rights.

They own all rights to WCW but they wouldnt put Sting and Hogan in as they think its promoting TNA

Hmm, wasn't Hogan the cover star on that Legends of Wrestlemania game though?

yh that was out 7 months before he signed with TNA.
