As showtime said, gameplay is only part of the experience. It is also about suspending disbelief and having fun.
Playing the booker and putting Brock back in the WWE and physically controlling him is a selling point for any wrestling fan who was a fan back when Brock was in the prime of his WWE run. Sure the gameplay could be better and we shouldn't have to settle for what they put out each year but THQ/Yukes are really trying these past few years and giving the fans someone like Brock just fires everyone up for the possibility of being able to control Brock and destroy other characters.

I sure do like destruction after all.

However if you have wrestling dreams in the shape of being a booker I can understand it. Otherwise, I just find it weird. I used to be a big wrestling fan when I got those games, but I could never be arsed to play with the wrestler that are in-game. I always wanted to make my own creation and live out my wrestling dreams that way.
That's actually how they make their money? >_> By putting WRESTLERS in the game? No wonder a mediocre product gets sold as much as it does.

The truth is, every wrestling fan is a fanboy to some extent! Everyone has their "fav five" as Booker T would call it. lol. Buying a game because your favourite characters are in it is no different than buying a movie because your favourite actor is in it.
I take no offence from what you said but I just find the whole "fanboy" tag a little stupid an yway. I mean absolutely everyone has something they like and are really into - when it comes to games buying a game because it has a particular character in it is no different than someone buying a war game because it has CoD or MW in the title. I mean even in your own words, you bought the wrestling games because you was simply really into the product at the time - didn't that make you a wrestling fanboy at the time?
But any way, particularly in recent years, people are less worried about content/quality and more worried about "stardom" and "celebrity." I did an interesting module on this at university based on films and film stars but I won't bore anyone with much of that all I'm saying is, in Hollywood they market movies particularly on the stars and around the stars. How many trailers do you see where they list the stars before they even tell you what the movie is called? It is because people will watch a mediocre film if it has a huge star in it. I know it can get complicated when a particular film creates a star, etc, but if you look at 75% of the movies that come out - they are pitching the stars to you not the film. The trailers are solely based on saying "OMG, f'ing look - The Rock is in an action film - go see the Rock say witty lines like this - cue clip - and blow shit up like this - cue clip... and and yeah, this film happens to be called "blah, whatever", go see it."
Video games are going the same route - Mortal Kombats selling point on the PS3 was being able to play exclusively as Kratos from God or War. Most WWE games are sold on the point that it is has your favourite WWE superstars and Legends all in one game! Sports games sell based on the fact that the rosters are up-to-date for the current season and if you look at the NBA 2K series they are marketing it off of being able to relive legendary moments from Jordan's career and/or Larry Bird's, etc.

Go to the WWE '12 section to see him.
By the way, I miss using the F-5 (aka The Verdict) so I'm glad Lesnar is in.

The main difference being that I would never pay 60 dollars to play a mediocre game no matter WHO is in it or what's it about. As for movies, I don't pay to see movies. Of course, if I see a movie with actors that I like Im going to wanna see it. Im going to be appealed. But Im not necessarily going to spend money on it.

The definition for a fanboy is someone who sticks behind a brand "just because" and no matter what. A blind obsession with something that can not really be explained with logic. That isn't the case with people who just like a certain sport and will want to try a game out because it happens to be about that sport. The level of obsession is what separates the casual fan from a fanboy.

The list of notable legends were good, I suppose, and I thought the glitches were what made it seem like a big let down rather than the cast, but like the saying goes, ya can't have everything.
This year we will get legends who have ACTUALLY wrestled on WWE TV in recent years, and appeared on TV too in a cameo capacity. So it's actually quite good that way. And then there's M. Cole, my punching bag of choice! It's all good.

Although, Lawler is in it too. On THQ's new website, Jerry is next to Sin Cara.
