I was a huge wrestling fan years ago but i dont really watch it much anymore though i have also enjoyed the games and continued to keep my eye on those. Smackdown vs Raw 2011 was decent but cant help but feel that some featured could have been expanded upon and some things were holding it back from being a 'great' sequel. So in a new move THQ have totally dropped the Smackdown vs Raw name and have planned a rebirth of the series with WWE 12. Not many details are known yet as the game was only unveiled last night but THQ have promised BIG things with the new title:
