I think that may have been sarcasm, not sure, but I really have to ask, What was so great about "Storylines exactly like what was seen on tv"?
I mean, I've seen someone in this thread mention now, both how great Shut Your Mouth, and No Mercy's story mode was, and while I'll admit, it was cool, seeing other superstars in places where someone else should have been (Like Kurt Angle getting attacked by the nWo? Sweet...) but really, it was just the same thing we saw on tv the previous year.
And considering, WWE storylines, at least going by what's said in the Ring, and other forums, are seriously hated at this point, I would think people would not want to just play through them with someone else.
