I loathe TNA's idiotic television offerings, but the early word about the game has actually made me reasonably excited about it. On the other hand, WWE's TV programming has soldiered on, being generally quite solid (especially the gem that was ECW circa mid-to-late 2007), while THQ runs the SvR series into the ground with tragicomic game after tragicomic game. I haven't honestly enjoyed an SvR game since 2006, and the series has been in a tailspin since "Here Comes the Pain."

A lot of the problems I have with TNA as a company can be solved by the simple conversion to the video game format, and the most satisfying experience of the entire game may very well be turning the commentary off.
