Not a fan of the cover. Personally i think that a tag team should be on the cover like the Hardy's (even though they are not really a tag team) should be on the cover since the biggest focus of the game is tag team action. Many may disagree with that but whatever. Should be a great game since TNA is working so hard to make their game awesome.

[JohnCenaFan28]

Wow, that cover's not great... They need to add current champs/top faces to the cover.

[tommy]

Are you two crazy? You say you want a tag team on the cover, "like the Hardy's" even though they aren't a tag team anymore...uh...do you remember a little something called Degeneration-X? Dominated the entire tag team division on RAW for almost a year recently, and before that, dominated the entire WWE in it's first incarnation...I would say Triple H and Shawn Michaels are a great tag team for the cover. It also has the Smackdown vs Raw element too it, and I think it's a lot better than the recent covers have been (2008: Bobby Lashley obviously did not deserve to be on there, 2007 had way too much going on, 2006 was decent, and the original vs RAW just have Vince...yuck).

The man does have a point there. At one point, (not too long ago) there was no bigger tag team in WWE than DX.

[Punisher]

That is true i guess. Just saying that I think that a tag team should b eon the cover but I obviously forgot about DX :thud:

[JohnCenaFan28]

I said the current champs/top faces should be on the cover:hmm:

[tommy]

I said the current champs/top faces should be on the cover:hmm:

Well, Triple H is the current champ of smackdown, and hand's down the top face on smackdown (with maybe the jeff hardy exception...). For RAW, who is a bigger face than HBK? I mean, Cena get's 50/50 reactions, Batista get's 50/50 reactions, Rey is injured most of the time, and Punk hasn't been on RAW long enough to show if he will be the top face or not. I would say without a doubt that HBK is the biggest face on RAW, and Triple H and HBK together cover the tag team requirement as well.

[JohnCenaFan28]

I meant more than just one champ and one top face, show case a few more top people.

INFERNO MATCH

[Kage]

Only Cm Punk, Chris Jericho, Triple H, John Cena,and the Undertaker will be playable in single player story mode this year. Oh and remember that tag team story mode they promised us? Rey and Batista are the only playable tag team in story mode. And there's random jobbers in the game like Jimmy Wang Yang and Chuck Palumbo. :punish:
