Up until a couple years ago, I really wanted THQ to drop the license and let someone else have a shot. But the last two years have been pretty good. So far I'm really impressed with this year's game. At this point, if they'd just fix the screwy AI, I'd call it the best WWE game yet

THQ was the only company who did wrestling right for US games....I rather have them than Midway, EA or Acclaim(dont exist anymore right?)

THQ is on the up and up. Especially with UFC.

Wanted to see EA get a shot at making a WWE game. Granted the WCW games they made were nothing special. But with the UFC game by THQ gaining steam I think they would step it up a notch.
