No confusion - I just wish WWF wouldn't be overtaking WCW quite this soon. A year from now, great. Trust me, for the hardcore fans, the names in the WWF are just as well known as the WCW. These fans are the people most likely to buy the game, not your everyday game buyer. Therefore, I don't believe that the general public name recognition is that important. The mass wrestling audience preference is more important, which WWF has been overtaking in the past two months. BTW, does anyone know what company director James Whims would be affiliated with? SEC filings show him buying 2,545 share directly and 24,510 indirectly on May 1st at $25.75. Was curious about the indirect purchase. Thanks, Kory

I have to disagree with your statement about WWF wrestlers not having mass charisma. Have you checked out Cain? - he promised to set himself on fire if he didn't beat Stone Cold Steve Austin in their first blood match (I still don't know what happened). And how about his brother Mankind - he loves pain and is totally out of control, a real nutcase. Playing games based on these characters will have to be a lot more fun than the Hulkster and his stale crowd, IMNSHO. s.r.
