Just as in WWE Raw a few weeks ago, Masked Kane is making a return to WWE ’12 and he is bringing some heavyweight talent with him. After months of speculation as to when this was getting released (Mainly by me because I want this DLC so badly) the ‘Legends DLC’ pack is finally being released. For those with WWE Axxess it will be free and will add Dave Batista, Mick Foley and. . . MACHO MAN RANDY SAVAGE to the roster.

Macho Man is one of the all time greats, he was my favourite wrestler as a child and whenever the ‘Pomp and Circumstance’ theme would play excitement would surge through me and I would act as though I had just been given 10 packets of sweets made up of almost nothing but E numbers. There was no controlling me,  I would jump up and down excitedly screaming ‘Macho’, ‘Macho’. I wanted his action figure more than any other wrestler and will never forget when he was bitten by Jake ‘the Snake’ Roberts pet cobra. I was terrified.

His death last year was shocking and saddening. I had lost a part of my child hood. THQ have delivered so much more in this update than character models. They are bringing a true legend to a new generation of WWE fans and my childhood back to me.

Along with the excellent Legends pack and the completely cost free Masked Kane DLC there is going to be a patch which is going to fix many issues within the game:

General Gameplay

  • Fixed an issue where the ring would flash black or different colours
  • Addressed multiple Finisher system bugs in which players were awarded too many or too few Finishers

  • Fixed an issue where two Superstars in a pin sequence swapped positions when an interfering Superstar woke the referee as he/she was standing
