WWE '12 was definitely a different breed, RTWM and universe mode both being complete unabridged chaos, the customization second only to 2k14, I remember sinking hours into universe just to see what wacky crap the game would cook up from show to show. I'd spent so much time on the game that it just outright refused to work on any ps3 I played it on after a while, not a scratch on the disc but no console would play it properly.

[@Lootron]

Back in 2020, I started watching your video and I got into wrestling big time. I wanted to play an old THQ wrestling game, and all I could find at the local gamestop was a rusty WWE 12 disc. When that disc worked, I played that game like crazy! I LOVED this RTWM, and I still think it's the best. WWE 12 had some quirks, but I still love that game. When I see a video about it, I click instantly!

[@devdixon8266]

The thing i love about this career is that every thing was always foreshadowed from the beginning when arn was trying to talk to cody for his wcw thing (assuming)

[@Eshan-]

I have always thought that this was the best RTWM and I remember after it was over I kept trying to do stuff like throw someone through the chamber pod, throw them off the stage, throw them into a spotlight, throw them through the titantron, and break the ring by putting someone through the HIAC which as a kid was the coolest thing I seen in a wrestling game. This RTWM tricked me into thinking we could do way more than we could.

[@twixthehyena]

My main gripe with the WWE 12 storymode was how tedious and repetitive all those backstage brawls felt after a while. Other than that, I really did enjoy it.

[@sebass4379]

I got this game for the Wii for my 12th birthday and I remember the first thing I did was play the Road to Wrestlemania mode. The Sheamus story was wild as hell and I still remember that ending with him holding every single belt on his Ultimo Dragon shit. The Triple H story like you said was good, but when it was sandwiched between two all timer stories it's easy to forget. But you know what I'll never forget for as long as I live? The first time I played through the Jacob Cass story. Rey Mysterio was and is still to this day my favorite wrestler of all time so being his student in the story, having him turn on you to side with WCW, defeating him and the rest of WCW in that wild ass final match with that Avengers lineup was something to behold. What a time to be alive man, I wish I could go back and experience it for the first time all over again!
