Another fact in WWE 12 was CM Punk was going to have his Nexus entrance video along with his classic This Fire Burns song for his entrance, but due to him debuting the best in the world gimmick after winning the WWE title, THQ quickly swapped it with his new entrance video and his Cult of Personality song late in development

As someone who loved this game as a kid when it came out, I gotta say I was shocked when I found out Austin Aries voiced cass. Just seemed so cool to look back on how he was there before I even knew who he was.
@@thefive8th741 yep it was very fun and pretty creepy, especially the week where the whole backstage had purple lights, no signal on TV, the druids around, Undertaker posters and "lost soul vs lost soul" on the program matches. I loved it
Ha really nobody knows about the Easter I discovered as a kid, i’ve never once seen anybody ever mention this. At the very beginning of road to wrestlemania when you’re walking out as John Cena, If instead of following the security guard and if you go up on your own backwards, you can find shamus stocking you from a far, foreshadowing what happens as you make your entrance. I always love that little detail as a kid
I was genuinely shocked by that, I mean when the dumpster fire 2K20 ruined our lives 2K were going to shut the 2K19 servers down but due to fan backlash (and the fact they knew 2K20 was crap) they kept them open, but only after fans reactions to the news
Fun Fact #1: Randy Orton was on the European cover for SvR 2011 Fun Fact #2: SC Steve Austin and The Rock have been on the cover of almost every WWF/E game ever Fun Fact #3: Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, Roman Reins, and Becky Lynch are the only new gen wrestlers that have been on the cover of WWE games Fun Fact #4: WWE 2K18 was the first WWE game to feature child crowd members Fun Fact #5: The Great Khali and The Hurricane were originally gonna be playable fighters in SvR 2011 but the ideas were scrapped and Khali didn't make it into the final game but Hurricane's model was used as a joke in Rey Mysterio's RTWM story.
Arn Anderson and Smash didn’t first appear in this game. Arn Anderson first appeared in Legends of Wrestlemania and Smash (alongside Crush) first appearance in one of the earlier games.
Fun Fact: I noticed the Mistake with the Themes since I liked to play with Mason Ryan. And the Fix was pretty easy so let me walk you through: Go to Create Entrance, pick Mason Ryan, change his Theme to Husky Harris, do the same with Husky Harris but change his theme to Mason Ryan. Save and you are done! Your welcome :P
7:05 for some reason on wwe 12 I accidentally glitched Jacob cass and now I can change his face and everything. Since I was lazy I use a bald default character as Jacob Cass. I think the trick is that you have to custom him in the creation suite after you load him in RTWM.
I had 13 and 12 but years later wwe 12 stopped working then MORE YEARS LATER IT WORKS AGAIN Little plot twist: i had the game batman Arkham asylum years later i was gonna play it again cuz when i was younger apparently i didn't have the damn balls too play when i knew scarecrow and killer crock was in the game but I AINT SCARED OF THEM (the Arkham asylum thing happend in 2017 or 2016 idk i legit forgot) (and wwe 12 started working in 2018)
It was my first wwe game when I won a ps3 in early 2012, when I played I loved the game, the graficos, everything, and the road to wrestlemania that was interconnected, a great game for those who are a fan of wrestling
Speaking of Michael Cole & Jerry Lawler, having matches that feature them and completing certain scenarios would result in some funny lines and 4th wall breaks.
@@Aa-cp7bn but at the corner of the video... There's a UA-cam logo and Channel names... Which mean that HE ask for the footage AND give the credits....
This game was the reason I finally bought a PS3. Prior to it I was happy getting the PS2 version of SVR. When I found out that they weren't gonna be making anymore WWE games on the PS2 I figured it was time to upgrade. I saved up money from my very first job and bought a PS3 and this game. It was the best decision I made at the time. I put a ton of hours into this game since I didn't have much else going on back then.
One easter egg featured in this game (or WWE '13, I can't remember exactly which...) was the WWE Network logo shown in the Universe Mode. When making a new show in Universe Mode, there were different brand logos to choose from, including former WWE shows such as ECW (the WWE version) and FCW. But one of the logos features was the WWE Network logo, which featured the newer WWE logo design. This would imply that the Network was in development for some time, probably even before WWE '12.
No they aren’t. There is a way for you to backdoor your way into WWE SVR 2011 and WWE’12 Servers by buying and reinstalling the WWE Online Access DLC, but no one in ever online. Also, you can’t access the original options directly.
There's one more "fun" fact. Sometimes, in Cass's story mode, you won't be able to get past the Elimination Chamber event. The prompt to continue to the match will simply never show up. Apparently, there are different solutions of varying effectiveness, but, for some lucky few, none of them will work.
Yeah that happened to me before and I later found out it does that only when you edit Cass's moveset (specifically his finishers/signatures). If you switch his moves back to default you can play the match. It probably has something to do with one of the in match prompts/cutscenes not being able to activate if his finishers we're edited.
@@Poetic_Justice92 That's what I read earlier, but that fix didn't work for me. Even did the whole Hero story again without changing Cass at all, and I still got stuck there.
It is Crazy that The Servers have been up for 10 Years, it makes me want to Play the Game before the Servers Shut Down, like WWE 2K17 Servers shut down in like 2018 i think.
You are wrong about one thing. Axe and Smash (Demolition). This wasn't their first appearance in a wrestling video game. Their first appearance in a wrestling video game was the arcade game WWF Wrestlefest.
I really enjoyed the Sheamus Road to WrestleMania. At the time I even had wrestling men of all of the United Kingdom except Regal and made them beat up everyone lol
Another Secret & Easter Egg: Whenever there is a multiman match in a PPV that involves Booker T, it will trigger a loud robotic voice on commentary and say "Commentary Placeholder".
One of my favourite feature in wwe 12 was create an entrance video mode you would get a simple lay out of themes for your custom entrance video (movie star, gold medalist, islander etc) and your caw would be shown hitting their finishers on who ever their highest ranked rival was
I haven't bought another Wrestling game since it was released, I still play it a few times a month cuz I have an active WWE Universe (10 yrs!) have a journal with all tracked matches, championships, and Improved entrances. smh when I'm too stressed thinking of storylines helps me clear my head.
