I wonder if they will have it as his default theme, or will they give him "Oh You Didn't Know" and just have ass man in as a bonus. Technically he didnt start using this theme until after the period that this game covers. He doesnt even have his lips trunks.

Very surprised this is in...mainly because based on everything else, it makes no sense to be in. Definitely expected Road Dogg's theme for him.

Not exactly how I pictured it (what with it being a CAW testing it out in Create an Entrance), but... FINALLY.

I think as we've seen more and more things with ASS all over them in this year's game, it did seem like it would be possible for the Ass Man theme to make it. Awesome that it did. One more little thing THQ definitely got right by including it in the game.

The Road Dogg entrance not having "ass" in it seems to have been explained by WWE using a recent recording of his entrance where he just didn't say it (WWE often sends odd recordings of songs...just look back at 2010's weird Jericho theme or Punk's lack of static in '12). Ass is everywhere else in the game, from titantron videos to crowd signs to other people's theme songs. With the game being rated T, it's acceptable, but with WWE's target audience being PG, they might have his era-correct NAO theme by default with the option to switch to Ass Man if you choose in CAE.

I wouldn't look at that as a reason for it not to be his default. After all, Stephanie McMahon has an abbreviated My Time theme, the full version of which wasn't even used until many months after the AE Mode ends, let alone the abbreviated version that she used (with no intro).

I think at a certain point, THQ just wanted the game to feel right, even if historically they had to take a liberty or two. Case in point, every Attitude Era cut scene that suddenly DOESN'T include Chyna in a DX scene she absolutely was originally in. Just unavoidable, I guess.

But I would prefer everything be as accurate as possible in that mode, especially considering it's supposed to be a historical re-creation. So hopefully, in Attitude Era mode, he comes out to the appropriate NAO theme and leaves the Ass Man for our Universe or Exhibition matches, as it will be in mine.
