WWE Wants to Keep HHH Invincible

[Knoxville]

From PWInsider

Damian Isherwood reporting. ... I've got Fighting Spirit Monthly magazine from England in front of me and this is what their computer reviewer friend told them about Smackdown vs. Raw 2009. It shows the lengths the WWE will go to protect Triple H. " Got WWE preview code yesterday and, as always, screenshots have to be approved if we decide to take our own. So far, so usual. But here's the interesting part: there are further stipulations that highlight which screenshots will immediately be given the thumbs down. These include screenshots of 'superstars' (not allowed to refer to them as wrestlers) bleeding, weapons being used... and we're not allowed to take ANY screenshots of Triple H losing or ANY screenshots of Triple H in a 'defenceless or vulnerable position'. Oh, and the game still sucks." They then printed a screenshot of a vulnerable Triple H on the mat with Kane standing over him on a turnbuckle.

Seeming as they hate it, here's a pic of Triple H geting his face kicked:

That can't be true.

Does that mean that in every single picture for a Smackdown game there isn't one of HHH getting his ass kicked?

As for the weapons, why not? Last year when ECW became part of the games they released pictures of people going through burning tables and other hardcore stuff like that.

I know it makes pretty much no sense as to how WWE dont want any of this stuff included in the screen shots. I also heard WWE want blood taken out of the game but THQ have stood their ground and said no. It'd be stupid to start taking features away now.

IGN have screens of HHH looking defensless but that's because it's an in game match. I just dont think they like them published.

I'd be all up for the blood being removed, if the WWE stop their wrestlers, sorry 'superstars', blading. Blading really doesn't do it for me and I think it's a stupidly risky thing to do and can sometimes make a match worse rather than better, ala' Eddie/JBL J.Day 04.

I hear THQ's contract with the WWE is coming to an end soon, wonder if anthing comes out of this?

[Knoxville]

Maybe it will. THQ just won their lawsuit against WWE who tried to get the license away. I know THQ have milked the franchise but at least we're getting games.

From what I understand the contract runs out in May 2010 with an option to extend to 2012.
