What are your thoughts on WWE 13?
I was looking to actually get my hands on it before it first launched and tell people it was coming out. I was literally getting halfway into it and they had to drag the remote control out of my hand. It was at a press event and they told me I had to do interviews. I’m excited about it. I think it’s the best game so far. It blows everything out of the water. I was saying how THQ put their heart and soul into this, and it shows.
WWE 13 is all about the Attitude Era, what’s a favorite memory from then?
I have a lot of fond memories from the Attitude Era, especially the rise of Stone Cold and the Bret Hart/Shawn Michaels feud. I guess, to be honest with you, even moments I’m sure when Bret turned and put that promo on Vince, when he just completely turned. We all know Bret as this real passive go-getter, and then they show the side to him where he just had enough. I think him and Shawn Michaels, and Austin, obviously, being there too, but Shawn Michaels and Bret really started the ball rolling and got everything, especially with DX there. I’m excited that people are gonna be able to have both worlds at their fingertips. It’s great.
