Do you think they will drop THQ as well and sign with a different name?
I still don't understand why they even are doing this, does anyone know what exactl was the problem with WWE and Jakks/THQ?
I hope they drop THQ though, I am sick of the same game over and over with different people. I really want something new and hopefully they sign with a good game maker.
Does anyone know any that would be good for making WWE games?

If it were possible, I'd love to see EA/AKI make a WWE game. They did a really good job with Def Jam Vendetta.

Also, I heard they were dropping THQ a while ago as well, but who knows, they might keep them. I still don't understand why they are dropping them, does anyone know?

When THQ goes, they go. Let's face it, guys, we're most likely going to get Activision or EA (without AKI) as the new publishers.

EA would be horrible, look at the Madden series, every year its the same game with different people and 1 new thing added.

THQ suck ass but atleast they still try and put alot in the game, where as EA update the rosters and maybe add 1 or 2 new content in the game each year.

THQ have taken the series as far as they are willing to go so its time for a new developer last thing I read about it, it was Activision who were the favorites but the smart money is surely on EA as they have a monopoly on every sport but wrestling. Also I am sure EA hired most of the people who worked on No Mercy when they created Def Jam Vendetta so who knows if they still have those people on staff then perhaps they would be given the responsibility of making the new WWE game,

I wouldn't mind EA as long as it wasn't like the Madden series.

Last I heard Take Two were leading the chase. The game will be under its 2K Sports line.

The reason there was a lawsuit is because THQ/Yukes/Jakks were doing somethings with wrestlers behind WWE's back.
