We don’t know what the situation was here; was this game hastily put together to fill the gap?

If so (and again, we don’t know), that would have been unfortunate, because with a bit more time in the oven this one could have turned into a delicious feast, rather than the significantly undercooked dish we’ve ended up with.

The man has a hall-of-fame-worthy career and boasts a couple of WWE game covers already, so to us, it makes sense to put the legend on it this time.
