what's the deal? i thought you could go backstage and go into the crowds and stuff? was it a lie? if it wasn't, how do u go into the crowd and backstage? thanks alot!

A few things were removed from the final game and I think that was one of them.

There is a couple of threads out there that talk about Raw. Just look down and in the second page.

There was a lot of stuff that they cut out, that SHOULD have been in there.

Actually I don't believe any of that was in any of the beta stages either. I have no clue why in the world they stripped the game of those...of course there is alot that made the game suck a bit. It was just a pretty game bar none...that is all it was. Gamer out.

Coincidentally, they took out something like that and put in a NEW element for the final game:

IT SUCKS

I gave it a five day rental and if you play against people its actually okay. Kind of like Smackdown 3. However, its seriously lacking as a one player game and overall its definitely not a game I would buy. Wrestlemania X8 had better come through. I would hate to think THQ would screw up every next generation version. I may be stuck playing No Mercy on the N64 for the next few years.
