''WWE All Stars'' is a 2011 wrestling game developed by Creator/{{THQ}} San Diego.

In a departure from THQ's annual [[VideoGame/{{WWE}} Smackdown Vs Raw]] series, All Stars takes a more arcade heavy slant with a comparatively smaller roster of current Wrestling/{{WWE}} Superstars and Legends in a wrestling/FightingGame hybrid with exaggerated physiques and moves.

-------------
!!This game contains the following tropes:

* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: The intro for the Wrestling/DGenerationX challenge has Wrestling/ShawnMichaels and Wrestling/TripleH respectively.
* ButtonMashing: When going for a cover, the person being pinned has to hit buttons rapidly to kick out, while the person making the cover can hit buttons to increase the size of the kick-out meter.
* {{Combos}}
* DolledUpInstallment: In the sense that THQ used elements from the Wrestling/{{TNA}} Impact game as a basis and heavily refined/reworked it into an arcade-y wrestling/fighting WWE game.
* DreamMatchGame: While it doesn't have ''every'' wrestler who's ever been in WWE, it does have pretty much all of the most famous ones, whether or not they're currently wrestling or even ''alive''.
* ExaggeratedTrope: EVERYTHING.
* FinalBoss: One for each Path of Champions: Randy Orton for the Superstars, Undertaker for the Legends and D-Generation X (Triple H and Shawn Michaels) for the Tag Team path. Due to a lack of a MirrorMatch feature, these characters cannot be used in their respective paths.
* HeroicBuild: Every wrestler is impossibly muscular in the game but Wrestling/TripleH in particular [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohdncEKbNq4 is downright hilariously so.]]
* InstantWinCondition: Hitting a finisher on an opponent whose life has been reduced to 0 results in a K.O. and a special pin animation. This makes for an effective way to win 3 or 4 man matches.
* JumpPhysics: A lot of the finishers involve some very high jumps.
* LanternJawOfJustice: In particular, Wrestling/JohnCena's already prodigious jaw is expanded to [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20110405_wweallstars_characters_0_7895.jpg incredible proportions.]]
* MediumAwareness: [[Wrestling/DGenerationX D-Generation X]] in their Path of Champions cutscene.
* MusicalSpoiler: The main menu plays the theme of individual wrestlers at random. Even ones you've haven't unlocked yet.
* TheRival: Invoked with the Fantasy Warfare mode, which pits a Legend against a Superstar with a certain theme in the match-up. The ones included in the game are:
** Wrestling/UltimateWarrior vs. Wrestling/{{Sheamus}} (Battle of two brawler-archetypes)
** Wrestling/EddieGuerrero vs. Wrestling/ReyMysterio (Mexican high-flyers)
** Wrestling/RickySteamboat vs. Wrestling/KofiKingston (Babyfaces with creative, energetic offense)
** Wrestling/CurtHennig vs. Wrestling/TheMiz (Boastful heels)
** Wrestling/AndreTheGiant vs. Wrestling/BigShow (Battle between giants)
** Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin vs. Wrestling/CMPunk (Polar opposites; Austin's brawling style and love for beer vs. Punk's technicality and Straight Edge lifestyle)
** Wrestling/BretHart vs. Wrestling/{{Edge|Wrestler}} (Master technicians)
** Wrestling/JakeRoberts vs. Wrestling/RandyOrton (Sadistic and unhinged wrestlers with snake motifs)
** Wrestling/SgtSlaughter vs. Wrestling/JackSwagger (Patriots)
** Wrestling/HulkHogan vs. Wrestling/JohnCena (Two of the most popular Superstars of all time)
** Wrestling/JimmySnuka vs. Wrestling/{{Kane}} (Ruthless and aggressive competitors)
** Wrestling/TheRock vs. Wrestling/TripleH (Former holders of the Undisputed Championship)
** Wrestling/RoddyPiper vs. Wrestling/DrewMcIntyre (Scottish Superstars)
** Wrestling/ShawnMichaels vs. Wrestling/TheUndertaker (Continuation of their rivalry from Wrestlemanias 25 and 26)
** Notably, because of career overlap, some of these matches have actually happened (Eddie vs. Rey, Rock vs. HHH, Shawn vs. Taker).
* RuleOfCool: The game is fueled by it.
* RecycledSoundtrack: For some reason, [[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert3 From First To Last's remix of "Hell March"]] is menu music.
* ShownTheirWork: The developers looked through tons of matches from various points of each wrestler's careers to create their movesets, no matter how obscure said move could be. Any discrepancies can be chalked up to RuleOfCool).
** There's also the impressive broadcast-style video packages for Fantasy Warfare mode, simulating how a video setting up the particular fantasy match would look like on WWE programming.
* SpectacularSpinning: Several of the moves are given extra spins and twists if at all possible such as any of Wrestling/JohnMorrison's big moveset. This even happens to Wrestling/EddieGuerrero's Frog Splash even though the move doesn't have any spinning in real life, turning it more into a 450.
* TagTeam: There are tag team matches in the game, but all Tag Team contests are under Tornado Tag Rules, meaning all four competitors are in the ring and there is no tagging.
* UltimateShowDownOfUltimateDestiny: Imagine Wrestling/RandySavage perfoming an elbow drop at the same height as the Titantron, only for Wrestling/RandyOrton to counter it with an RKO. Mind you, this is an RKO which is as big as the aforementioned elbow drop.
** Or simply seeing deceased (Wrestling/RandySavage and Wrestling/EddieGuerrero) and older (Wrestling/BretHart) WWE legends in their prime take on the younger WWE superstars like Wrestling/KofiKingston and Wrestling/JohnMorrison of today's generation.
