The company's upcoming WCW-licensed games are in danger of being cancelled because of the recent buyout of WCW by its rival wrestling federation WWF.

GameSpot has learned that Electronic Arts is in jeopardy of losing its WCW license as a result of the recent buyout of the struggling wrestling organization by its primary competitor, the WWF. At the present time, Electronic Arts is taking a "wait and see" approach, as specific details regarding the buyout deal have not been solidified. If the WCW were to retain its own franchise rights, the organization could conceivably provide licensing options to third parties such as EA, but that possibility remains unlikely.

Electronic Arts secured the WCW license in early 1998 and has released multiple WCW-branded games on the Nintendo 64, the Sony PlayStation, and the Game Boy Color. The company's WCW game for the Sony PlayStation 2 is currently on indefinite hold, pending the eventual resolution of the buyout. THQ currently owns the WWF license. However, it is also officially taking a similar "wait and see" approach on whether it can ultimately include the WCW wrestlers in its upcoming WWF games.

You listen to me! While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is I am a nay-sayer and a hatchet man in the fight against violence! I pride myself in taking a punch and I'll gladly take another because I choose to live my life in the company of Gandhi and King! My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method...is love. I love you, Sheriff Truman.

I dunno. It might be a toss up. Both EA and Acclaim's rasslin games blow pretty hard.

Acclaim have ruined wrestling games, I'm not daring to say how they drove the ecw game into the ground.

There's no excuse for either ECW game because they made 2 wwf games with the exact same crappy engine.

Yeah but the new release "smackdown 3" for Ps2 sounds like it's gonna really be something we havent seen yet..Word is up to nine guys in the ring at one which should make for some pretty good gameplay

I say THQ makes both WWF and WCW games, and put some from each in the other game.
