I currently own both TAVLE and WWE Pro and like both games quite a bit. To each his own I guess. Funny thing is a lot of people post opinions about a game by watching a couple videos online or playing once or twice on location. They really don't know enough to have a real opinion about the game.
TAVLE - this is the 2nd time I've owned one. I missed it after letting it go the first time and was able to eventually buy the same one back from the guy I sold it to. I enjoyed it more than the XMLE that I also owned at the same time.
WWE - not even close to the "bore-fest" that others call it. Code is improving and the ring is not bad IMO. I don't regret getting at all. My sons and I are into the theme as well, so that's a plus for me.
At any rate, we are enjoying both pins here in our game room!
