On the surface, WWE Slam City looks like a cheap ploy to sell a new line of wrestling toys. The premise is that all of the WWE Superstars are fired, and have to get day jobs in their home town of Slam City. John Cena becomes a mechanic, Sheamus becomes a cinema usher, Alberto Del Rio becomes a barista. Hijinks ensue. Its actually an utterly charming cartoon, with surprisingly great animation, sharp humour and in-jokes for the more discerning wrestling fan. CM Punk finally gets his ice cream bars when he becomes an ice cream man, and John Cena is constantly told off by his boss for instigating freeze-frames. Its remarkably delightful, and thoroughly addictive.
