Nystral posted:Can someone explain the La Parka / L.A. Park thing to me? How did the new La Parka take over the gimmick when the other guy was still wrestling? AAA owns the gimmick, not the wrestler. They let him use it in WCW because AAA had an amicable relationship with WCW at one time, but Pena eventually wanted to promote a new guy in the mask. So he did.

Complicating the matter further is that L.A. Park (original) beat new La Parka at a Triplemania for the rights to the original name but AAA later threw it out due to what they claim was the ruling of Mexico City's lucha commission.

And where did the name come from (I assume simply because it rhymed)? I've always assumed it was one of those "let's call the fat guy 'Tiny'" things.

Wrestlemania 2000 was a great game. There were some loving crazy combos. Only bad part was auto-pin/submission. I can still hear "PIN HIM! PIN HIM! PIN HIM!"

You're right; I typed the wrong thing. If I'm remembering correctly, this game was so buggy that you could do tag matches, break up lockups on one person using the chair stab move, and maintain the lockup with the other. Then you could pull powerbombs and poo poo out of thin air. This game let you trick people into using their submission/laying/running finishers on their tag partner. I can't count the number of times we ran Bret Hart into a posing Lex Luger. Wojtek fucked around with this message at 18:08 on Jan 9, 2014 |

Sometimes WWE 14 is alright by me. I was playing Savage with Elizabeth vs Del Rio with Ricardo. Ricardo kept distracting the ref on all of my pins, until I got annoyed and threw him into the steps. I Elbowed Del Rio and pinned him, while somewhere in the background Elizabeth had decked Ricardo and was stomping the poo poo out of him. Tee hee.

I always liked the line "Chris Jericho is BACK, from Beverly Hills" from Smackdown KYR I think. It was just so out of nowhere... why was Jericho in Beverly Hills? Also the commentary didn't know what to say when you used a chair, I swear it always glitched out. Sometimes they'd say GORE!

The best commentary came from Tazz in SvR 2009 when he goes completely off script and goes "Haha, who writes this poo poo?" after one really cheesy line. For some reason that was kept in the game.

Perfidus posted:I liked Shane's commentary in Attitude. COMIN' OFF THE ROPES! There's this awful re-curring thing where he forgets how to say the expression "One legged man in an asskicking contest" and finishes by asking "how does that go, pops?" It'd be mildly amusing if they did once, but you'd hear it 2-3 times a match.

Joeslop posted:What is Abdullah the Butcher's best match? Did he have a best match? Was it anything but clotheslines and forks? A lot of stuff he did in Japan is genuinely good....there's a match in particular of him and The Sheik (the hardcore one, not the cussin' cokehead) vs the Funks, and it's an absolute war. He also had a really good match with Dick Murdoch that has one of the grossest brainbuster bumps I've ever seen. I'm pretty sure him and Mick had a couple of worthwhile matches too, but I've not seen them. El Gallinero Gros fucked around with this message at 21:06 on Jan 9, 2014 |

It was mostly clotheslines and forks, but he had fun matches in Puerto Rico with a variety of guys, and his matches with Bruiser Brody are usually good. He had a really fun brawl with Dusty Rhodes in Japan, too.

No idea what game it was but I still remember 'THE ROCK ROCKS THE BODY THAT ROCKS THE PARTY'. They'd shout it every time you did a float-over DDT.
