I just hope the theme is integrated into the game. I love me some Walking Dead but it feels like a generic zombie theme with the Walking Dead logo plastered on it.
Maybe I'm different but I can enjoy any theme as long as the game plays well and the theme integrates in properly. TAF is one of my all-time favorites and I never enjoyed the show.
Quoted from lllvjr:I new back at expo the wrestlemaina, game of thrones and one other title were in the pipeline from stern
And can you share what the 'one other title' is 
First impressions are:
Theme - meh
Art package (assuming pro model cab and translite) - fugly, hopefully more options/choices are available
PF - interesting, especially the ring, if the figures do more than just shout at each other and rip their own tops off (trash toys) it could be a gameplay winner.
Should exceed the general low expectations and may even surprise in my opinion, ymmv. Real concern is if this becomes another low selling orphan pin and code is abandoned before it reaches it's full potential, what are the odds on that happening?

Ok so who thinks the hobbit or Woz is a better theme than this? Give it a chance. Personally would rather have the bella twins in my game room rather than half rotten bodies, or in fact a homeless 'dude' in a cardigan looking at me.
By the way I am a walking dead fan, like the big lebowski and think Woz and the Hobbit are awesome looking games.
Are pinheads too sophisticated for wrestling? Could be really FUN.
Quoted from Goronic:Wonder what Rarehero and Aurich are going to think of this ...
Haha, Greg's my friend, but we hardly have a hive mind. Guessing he's with me on this one though. Utterly uninterested. It's a new pin, so I'll follow the news and be curious, but I don't care beyond that.
Translite looks gross.
Quoted from PinPatch:Ok so who thinks the hobbit or Woz is a better theme than this?
Haha seriously? I'm going with "massive hordes of people".
Quoted from sosage:So I'm just not sure who most of you are going to actually impress by dissing wrestling, while polishing your Lord of the Rings/Wizard of OZ/Star Trek/Spider-Man/Tron/Fill-in-blank
Pure poetry! Well said! 
lol
Quoted from Aurich:Haha, Greg's my friend, but we hardly have a hive mind
Interested to see if you had heard the news yet and your thoughts - thanks
Quoted from sosage:while polishing your Lord of the Rings/Wizard of OZ/Star Trek/Spider-Man/Tron/Fill-in-blank
Uh, that would be two coats on the TRON please...
Quoted from Pdxmonkey:From the blurry pic it kind of reminds me of WPT
Let's hope the game is fun with a not so good art package

Do the shadows on the wall light and the pinball machine match up, machine looks added to me, are we being played?

This pic looks very suspicious to me.
sad to say this is not a photoshop.... 
the reflection of translate on playfield glass and ring in center of upper playfield look like the real deal...
and the photo of the playfield in the up position is clearly not photoshopped and the elements are unique and match the playfield as seen from above...
uggh stern you suck cuz I wanted Jaws or Maiden...
But I do want to play wrestlemania, and I hope it is great...I just won't own one...
Quoted from garman411:Stern could make a pin out of 100 dollar bills and people on this site would still bitch about it.
A currency themed pin might not be so bad in comparison.. 
Quoted from PW79:It's just weird as shit how the plunger rod has that warning label on it.
image-620.jpg 42 KB
Whys the warning label weird, all NIB sterns come with that?
Quoted from ff6735:Whys the warning label weird, all NIB sterns come with that?
That's the weird part
It's like an unboxing of a brand new game. The label is there, packing foam... what a bizarre picture for a game that's not shipping or in production
Quoted from SaminVA:The Rock was on Star Trek Voyager.
» YouTube video
And he used his finishing move as I recall. LOL.
Quoted from blue95:It is pretty popular in Australia, they have it on cable every day and you can buy the PPVs.
No.
I suddenly want to play DE Royal Rumble or, even better, the old WWF Wrestlefest Arcade Game. Ya know, when this stuff was "the thing" for many of us 30-50 year olds, the big portion of pinball's demographic. That BG doesn't even look like wrestling. Looks like MMA. 
Has the lead programmer been identified yet (as in really doing the bulk of the coding)? Might make things more interesting, also how long have the extra, rumoured, programmers been on board at Stern....long enough to measure their effectiveness for the day one release code?
Quoted from PW79:That's the weird part

They probably boxed it up to freight it to Vegas.
Quoted from PaulCoff:Aurich makes a "Hardbodies(ish)" back glass
I helped fix up the scan of the old WWF proto translite, and that's as close as you'll ever see me to a wrestling game project. 
Quoted from Mr68:I heard wrestling was fake but I don't wanna believer it.
No China, no Roddy Piper or Capt. Lou Albano or Iron Sheik and I'm out.
(Is there a sarcasm emoticon?)
yep im out too, if theres no Brutus "the barber" Beefcake...
Quoted from Aurich:I helped fix up the scan of the old WWF proto translite,
Yeah, we're going to need your help again on this! "Time Now". lol
You people whine too much.
I keep hearing "no more movies!!! No more rock bands!!!"
Well, here ya go. Happy New Years.
