So, for the past 11 years or so, since I’ve had some kind of flowing income, I’ve purchased every WWE title produced by THQ ranging from WWF No Mercy to Day of Reckoning. Yes, I even purchased WWE Crush Hour and WWF Betrayal. I’ve seen the Smackdown series evolve from being a Playstation exclusive to being multi-console. So, when THQ announced WWE ’12, it was just like any other year--except Bigger, Badder and Better. On to our WWE '12 review!

Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar was once the next big thing in pro wrestling. And now he's returning as a WWE Legend in THQ's WWE 12. The former WWE Superstar, who will also appear in UFC Undisputed 3 in 2012, explains why he decided to be a part of WWE ’12, what he thinks of the game, offers his thoughts on a certain WWE Legend and the rest of the WWE, and looks ahead to what the future has in store for him in the video interview below.

Over the last 24 hours, we've been covering numerous topics on all things WWE '12--from the sexy Divas DLC, to the return of "The Animal" Batista, we leave no stone unturned. Plus, we here at Gamerlive.TV are not only big fans of the WWE, but also of THQ's masterful job with the franchise thus far. So, now we have for you a THQ provided screenshot of the unveiling of 23 championship belts, including the Hardcore and European Championship belts, and two mysterious WCW spraypainted titles as well. What all could this mean?

WWE Superstar Sheamus, who was on hand at a recent THQ event at Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), knows what it takes to take the road to Wrestlemania. The professional wrestler had to work his way up through the ranks of the minor league systems before making it big in the WWE. The Celtic Warrior talks about that journey, as well as the new WWE 12 game, in this exclusive video interview.

Matthew Cardona is known by wrestling fans these days as Zack Ryder, the WWE Superstar best known for his finishing move, the Zack attack. Ryder has risen up through the ranks of professional wrestling and now takes the main ring in WWE programming. The Long Island Loudmouth talks about gaming back in the day and what it’s like to go virtual in THQ’s new WWE 12 game in this exclusive video interview.

LOS ANGELES -- WWE Superstar Wade Barrett was on hand to check out THQ’s latest features in WWE 12, the newest game in the bestselling franchise. Barrett, like many American wrestlers, gamed across the pond as a kid. After getting some hands-on time with the new game, he took some time to reminisce about old school gaming and discuss how far things have come since then in this exclusive video interview.

THQ is making one of the big games of 2011 even bigger. The company's pre-order program for WWE '12 focuses on Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Often touted as “the most electrifying man in all of entertainment,” legendary WWE Superstar The Rock will be available as a playable character for consumers who pre-order the game at any participating retailer within the United States or Canada for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft or PlayStation3 computer entertainment system (while supplies last).  The Rock’s in-game character will resemble his current-day appearance, including a shaved head and new tattoos.
