Quoted from Methos:

Is Wrestling popular internationally? Foreign sales are very important to Stern, so maybe this theme has a built in demand from non US markets.

The majority of the TOP 10 "SPORTS DVD" sales annually in Australia have been Pro Wrestling for a long, long time. The TOP 10 annual "SPORTS DVD" sales in the US are often the same from what I can tell as well.

As repeated countless times, this may not be a title for hardcore pinheadz. But while there may be enough of us to BEGIN a resurgence there's not enough of us to FINISH the job...time to start looking for broader appeal. STERN hasn't invested in this title without studying the numbers.

Quoted from unigroove:

For those interested in more details about the game: Last night I talked to John Trudeau, designer of Stern's WrestleMania game. This resulted in a new free downloadable Pinball Magazine special:

Lots of new details about the game and upcoming LE version!
Big thanks to John Trudeau for his kind collaboration!
Enjoy!

While we hold our breath for the first look at the LE this is an INVALUABLE interview Jonathon! And correct me if I'm wrong, but based on some of your questions it appears you're quite a WWE fan?

What a turn around...has this thread gone from slamming the WWE to arguing over how successful it is? I guess that's a good thing.

We only get a few live shows a year here in Australia, but the fact that the WWE flies all their top talent half way round the world for a week's worth of shows highlights what sort of annual value this little market is to them.

Quoted from unigroove:

Lucas is a VERY skilled player, one of the top players in Europe I'd say. He can control the ball in play. There's a couple of very good saves in the video where I would have easily drained. My ball times were also way down. I had several less than 2-minute games the past days.

Great video Jonathan! Too often gameplay footage features someone playing the game who was just wondering past & hadn't seen a pinball machine for 20 years. Your mate gave us a good look at a lot of shots.

I remember the first gameplay footage I saw of MET shot in a dark, noisy bar, being played by a couple of drunk guys was less inspiring. But it's a top example of how much a game can improve from its first location gameplay vid.
