In 1994, the WWF and an emotional Vince McMahon bid farewell to hall-of-fame wrestler Randy Savage. On March 29, the Macho Man ends a 16-year estrangement from the wrestling circuit with his appearance in THQ’s WWE All-Stars.
It’s a no holds barred legal struggle between partners Jakks Pacific and THQ over when and if they should renew their licensing agreement with the WWE, set to expire at the end of this year.
Performing a body slam from the top ropes onto the back of the bandwagon, THQ is readying their own game-specific control accessory, to be added to the pile in 2010.
Another publisher is throwing its hat in the wrestling game ring, thanks to newbie Slang’s AAA: El Videojuego, an Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 grappler based on the Asistencia Asesoría y Administración licence.
