THQ have uploaded a new WWE 13 Q & A update explaining how the collapsing of the ring will work in the forthcoming game. As WWE fans noticed from the previously released trailer, a memorable moment from the company last year was replayed when Mark Henry and Big Show performed a super plex that broke the ring at WWE Vengeance pay-per-view. Some have questioned whether the spectacular ring-break that was shown in the trailer will just be a cut-scene, perhaps from a career mode, but THQ have confirmed that it will happen during game play but only under the right circumstances. Q: Are ring breaks in-game or just cut-scenes?
A: Ring breaks are in-game occurrences, NOT just cut-scenes! They're one of our new "Spectacular Moments," which also include blasting people through ring barriers and diving through commentary tables. That means that you can bust up the ring yourself in any kind of match...just as long as you meet the necessary requirements.
Q: Can any Superstar perform a ring break?
A: No. Only super-heavyweights have the heft, mass and sheer power required to demolish the squared circle - just like on WWE television. Right now, both Big Show and Mark Henry are confirmed as being capable of performing ring breaks, but as for other potential super-heavyweights...you'll just have to keep your eyes peeled for additional Roster Reveals.
Looking at WWE 13's roster, we can presume that Brock Lesnar may also be potentially included as a super heavyweight as the first ring break in the WWE came during a SmackDown main event between and The Big Show. Unless WWE plans to include Earthquake or Yokozuna as additional DLC characters, it is pretty unclear at this stage who else on the game is a super heavyweight who could make the ring collapse?
