THQ aren't getting away without a stern telling off themselves, don't worry. They're to blame for whatever that Booker T character model in WWE 13 was all about. It was more car-boot-sale action figure knock off than world class video game character. Seriously, there's no justification for those eyes, the teeth or the lack of definition on his face and body.

TNA iMPACT! from Midway, released in 2008, fared better when it came to building a satisfying in-game Booker. His expression was more realistic (compared to the comedic Donkey from Shrek feel of THQ's effort), his skin glistened with sweat and his hair was hanging down naturally over thick shoulders.

If only Midway had been able to stick around long enough to make an iMPACT! sequel. Their character models were second to none at the time.
