WWE gets Raw on mobile

Fancy gripping, grappling and grunting your way through a series of muscled men?

If you're a fan of sports involving huge men throwing rivals onto the ground and then kicking them while they're down, well, Duncan Ferguson should be playing in Everton's next match.

However if it's wrestling that floats your boat, THQ Wireless has some even better news for you.

WWE Raw lets you play as Big Daddy, hurling Kendo Nagasaki round the ring while Giant Haystacks looks on from the side and... oh, alright, that's a barefaced lie. Rather, it features a preening array of WWE stars, including Triple H, Randy Orton, Shawn Michaels, Chris Benoit, Ric Flair and some others who we've never heard of, but are doubtless modern day legends.

Or, if you're a bikini man – or woman for that matter – you can grapple as WWE ladies Stacy Keibler, Victoria and Trish Stratus. (Try saying that last one when you're drunk.) Each wrestler has their own strength, endurance, submission, technique and speed attributes, and their real-life special moves too.

The game is out soon, hopefully minus the rubbish soap storylines that seemed to have taken over last time we watched Raw on TV. It wasn't like this in the days of The Ultimate Warrior, y'know.
