WWE All-Stars DLC adds some 'Southern Charisma'

You may be enjoying WWE All-Stars, but your copy of the game doesn't have all the stars. This week, you can address that shortfall by downloading the new DLC, "Southern Charisma Pack."

For 240 Microsoft Points or $2.99 on PSN, you can add Big Boss Man, Michael "PS" Hayes, and "World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry to the game, all complete with the game's outsized style. That's ... more stars, even if it doesn't quite hit the goal of "all." Maybe we're being too strict about this.

I can't even begin to think what stylized Mark Henry looks like

@Cleric
Sexual Chocolate spandex with Mae Young valet?

Remember when Marc Henry got that old lady pregnant and when she gave birth it was a hand? I was like 10 or 11 and I truly thought it was real life. I went through a life crisis trying to make sense of it all from a 500lb black man making love to a old woman to the hand. Then my mom told me wrestling wasn't real and it put me into an even deeper depression.

Lol now I can't watch a minute of wrestling without laughing at how bad some of the plots now.

Moral of the story, life with imagination is a lot better without it so parents, let kids believe in fake stuff for as long as they can.

@MosDeffa Still real to me dammit!

@MosDeffa
LMAO! That *was* some seriously traumatizing stuff -- even if it was just a scripted tale, you know many people(including ourselves, apparently)would try to rationalize any kind of feasible way it could have happened...

@MosDeffa And to think, that hand birth is the kind of thing that half the internet ffans want to go back to when they cry "WWE SUXOR! BRING BAK ATTITUDE! WWF > WWE!"

@MosDeffa

I remember that, it was quite disturbing to say the least and yet I somewhat believed it even though it was fake. I miss the 'Attitude era' of WWF. So many great wrestlers post-80's even with some of the cheesy story lines.

Socko!

Bossman (AKA Big Bubba) OK Hayes (Freebirds) OK, Henry....uh whats southern about him? Couldnt add Phineas Godwin or the Honky Tonk Man? you go with Mark Henry....sheesh these marketing people suck.

@ChaseHammerJ

He is from Texas but i see what you mean. I guess they needed a superstar for the pack not a legend.

@ChaseHammerJ - I was more questioning what's charismatic about him...

And HTM was already added as DLC so he wasn't an option.

@Mcmax3000

I know HTM was but they had to have already known the characters available so they could have waited to release him. Come to think about it What about Bradshaw? he is from Texas. or Hillbilly Jim...anyone is better fit than Henry lol

@ChaseHammerJ
Bradshaw is from Manhattan He just wears the hat n all

@PSYCHOxKING
Um. No

John Bradshaw Layfield LIVES in New York
he is from Sweetwater, Texas

I haven't touched a wrestling game since WCW Nitro.

@Jason B

Well let me tell you something, Little Jimmy. Wrestling is back, and you gon get GOT!

@xFenixKnightx

LIL JIMMY is the reason i cant wait for WWE 12. Main event LIL JIMMY v R-Truth. :P

@Jason B

Dude there is WAAAAAAYYYY better games now than Nitro...hell if you play 2 generations after Nitro and play WCW Mayhem its better. Need to checkout WWF Smackdown Here Comes the Pain or if current gen WWE 2009-2011 (skip 2008, they screwed that up)

They should add more match types(Money in the Bank!) or at least offer some more CaW options such as custom intro BGM or even tag team introductions.

Fun game though, I definitely enjoyed it more than SvR'11.

N64 wrestling games were the best.

@ThaShiznit

And also the Gamecube games which were basically the same.

And also the older Def Jam games which were basically the same.

If you liked those you should play this.

@Rocket Raccoon Yes i loved the first def jam game it was good.

Na not scripted true life I used to be die hard lol it was the rock, stone cold, mick foley and all his alias, mr. Ass, Kane, undertaker, dx, shit wrestling used to be amazing lol

No muscle like a Southern muscle 'cause a Southern muscle don't stop....

......

Still waiting for them to add Rick Rude. They have Hennig, but not Rude. Huge gap IMO. Possibly even Owen Hart.

@Theneverendingsoda

You are so wrong. If they waited to put these on the disc then the game would just be released a month or two ago as opposed to half a year ago.

At some point the devs have to say 'this is the lineup. This is what we're putting out' and then put the game out. These characters, if you played the game, were very clearly made after the fact as they are very different from the in-game characters.

This isn't Capcom we're talking about here.

This is seriously a fun game. My friends and I get together at least once a week to play this and we're hard pressed to find an in-room multiplayer game that makes us laugh near as hard as this.

I really hope they make an All Stars 2. Or that the community (not the devs) start to actually show support for this game.

Michael 'Purely Sexy' Hayes is the only one with any charisma.

Na the attitude era was the best to me not cause it's cheesy plots that made soap operas look like Emmy worthy tv but because it's wrestlers and personalities. They were the 90s personified lol

@Rocket Raccoon
Sure....like Mod Nation Racers or Mortal Kombat where the DLC IS already on the disc yet they charge you more to unlock it....nice.

@ChaseHammerJ

I can't speak to those but this is NOT what is happening with the DLC here. So why flame them?
