NEW WWE GAME IN THE WORKS

THQ Inc., the license holders for WWE games will release a brand new game for XBox, PS2 and Gamecube called 'WWE Crush Hour'. This time, it won't be in a wrestling ring, but you'll be driving one of 30 fantasy personalized Superstar vehicles
destroying your opponents.

The game will have 12 different levels filled with traps and explosives. While driving you will also be able to pick up weapons and grab power-ups to further annihilate your opponent. Destruction Derby anyone? The game will be released in early 2003. Oh yeah...Jim Ross will be doing play-by-play as well. "Oh my God! Someone stop the carnage! Good God almighty! He's being pummeled like a government mule!" You get the picture!
