I'm going to assume this means that tag teams have to be in a stable to challenge for them? Also the same person is saying that there is a similar problem for singles titles. Can you confirm these things? Seems like we still don't have complete freedom with title matches after all.

Yes, you have to group wrestlers together and form a tag team before they can compete for the titles. You can't just throw two random people together and put them in a tag title match. As far as singles titles, I haven't seen any problems. I've been able to put anyone I want in a title match. What kind of problems is he seeing?

Played one game before I had to run into work. Triple Threat Match between Zack Ryder, John Morrison, and R-Truth (me) on default. This game definitely plays better than the last SvR in my opinion straight out of the box.

The match had a couple of nearfalls and barely broken up pins. I hit the lie detector once on Ryder but Morrison broke the pin up and Ryder hit me with three rough ryders and just could not put me away thanks to Morrison. I was finally able to win after Ryder landed a Rough Ryder on Morrison and I snuck him from behind to roll him up for the win. I'll delve more into the game when I get home from work, grocery shopping, errands, etc.

I don't know how it is this year, but Bret Hart was the exclusive DLC last year, and I DIDN'T preorder the game. I got it from Best Buy, and it had the Bret Hart code with it.

I'm not sure how it is with places like Walmart, where you can't pre-order the game. Maybe they don't get copies with the code in it. But, if Target is advertising that they have the Rock, then maybe Walmart will too.

It's probably similar to 2K12 and the Golden State/Sacramento code that came with the game. It was suggested that you pre-order the game to get the code, and I did for the 360. But, a week later, I bought the PS3 version and the code came with that version as well.

I'd imagine, provided the game doesn't sell out in the first few days, that The Rock code will be in the box. I bought SVR last year online (Thanksgiving sale) and got the Bret Hart code, even though I didn't pre-order.

Isn't the game the same price everywhere the 1st couple of months so if you so concerned about getting the Rock then why take any chances, just order from Best Buy or Gamestop.

In another thread, someone posted that Target is selling it for $47 later next week. And Amazon offers a $10 gift card, but you won't get the game for upwards of a week because they seem to have problems getting the game.

Walmart DOES have preorder special for The Rock. All you guys have to do is check online at all of the stores you guys have questions about. It's actually quicker to look online than to ask questions in here (and of course get wrong answers)
