More announcers? How about focusing on making the gameplay not suck. Play No Mercy for n64 and realize that AKI made the best wrestling games and everyone preferred those and copy those. Instead of focusing on graphics and motion capture animation and making the game look like TV wrestling like the crappy Acclaim N64 wrestling games everyone hated, make a game that's actually fun to play. Motion capture isn't even good looking in a wrestling game, the characters don't interact fluidly with each other. Everyone's floaty and the body parts don't line up well and the animation sequences are cut off at the end and it just looks jagged and awkward. WM2000 and No Mercy each outsold Attitude 2 to 1 on n64, particularly impressive for No Mercy since it came out close to the end of N64's popularity, yet all the new games are in the style of Attitude. THQ/WWE are blind, shallow non-gamers that look at the new games and think they look the best and therefore are the best. They don't get it.
