Whats Big Shows Punch called?

[phil]

A punch. Durr.

[RJ1817]

how do i download the update for 360? do i need a gold membership? cause mine just ran out...

[CrossFan]

No it's not an update for your 360. It's just changes you can make in your game to keep it up to date.

Updated 2/2/2009

[RJ1817]

ahhh, well, then on a related note, how would i get the DLC (i guess thats what it's called)?

[bigpoppn]

Downloadable Content indeed.And as far as I know, there still isn't any for the 360.

[CrossFan]

They had to pull back the DLC for a while. There was a bug on the PS3 version where all the CAW's movesets were reset to Hardcore Holly's. Also Jericho's new attire was a completely different character.

[Ste-Rulez]

Rey Mysterio's was a seperate character too, are they guna fix it for the ps3 aswel?

[CrossFan]

yeah but it will take a while.

[RJ1817]

ok, thanks for the heads up guys

[phil]

Chavo Guererro should be moved to SmackDown!.

Victoria should moved to free agents.

[Ste-Rulez]

i have masked man + tony as free agents coz there gay and pointless, vince mcmahon as a legend, the rest of the "free agents" i moved to wcw

[phil]

Masked Man and Tony are cool, and the free agents are just that: free agents. I personally put MM and Tony on the WCW "brand" along with Flair.

[Ste-Rulez]

it annoys me when they add non wrestlers as playable characters, tony is just random with john cena's moveset , the masked man character would of been better as an alternate attire for orton / kennedy

[phil]

I changed Tony's moveset up. I put the FU as a signature and gave him Cody's snap DDT as a finisher. I kept MM's DDT finisher, but replaced his sigs with the RKO and Mic Check due to him being an identity used by Orton and Kennedy respectively.
