They were like the only parody type of humor in 90s wrestling based on another company’s idea that worked and got over without being super embarrassing pot shots like Vince and Bischoffs snipes at each other with the JR parody and the old man hogan sketches etc. BWO was over as hell

What ECW I've seen they were actually booked pretty well, like a legit stable that was also a spoof on something else. Like they were comedy but they weren't completely disposable.

I just learned now that Gillberg was the light heavyweight champion for 15 months, the longest reign in the history of that title

Backlund's early run(s) as well, but the timeline on those is a bit of a clusterfuck (that was the period where the title would be "held up"/"vacant" thanks to a gently caress finish and Backlund would win the rematch, and WWE is super inconsistent on whether that counts as one uninterrupted reign or a bunch of stop-and-starts). All this also disregards Moolah's what, thirty years with the belt?

Oh yeah, I know that the older champs held titles for longer than Hogan, I’m just thinking after his 80s run, I don’t know if anyone who held a championship for 2+ years but there may be someone I’m not thinking of.

He means longest reign after Hogan in a time sense. Like who had the longest reign with a belt post-1988. If you include the Universal championship it’s Brock at 503 days. Going beyond main belts - Luger had the US Championship for a 523 day run in 89/90. I didn’t check Mexican or Japanese belts which have a history of super long runs, this is US only.

So is anyone running Fire Pro having trouble with custom entrance music now? I'm getting utter silence from my customs' entrances, and while the tracks show up in the Skills menu (and they're there on my computer, I can play them with Windows Media, etc.), if I select them the preview is just the default song. Maybe implementing Easy Themes will fix it? I've got so many edits I sometimes forget what music I want them to have.

I dunno what to tell you. Give Easy Themes a shot, and see if it works. Personally, I think it's easier using Easy Themes rather than setting the themes on the characters themselves anyways.

Ok so wwe 2k20 is confirmed for a cover reveal this coming monday August 5th, usually the games come out in the first few weeks of October Ok so if we assume early october as the release date that means we have approximately 8 weeks from the release of the cover till game launch, so week 1 is cover, gameplay footage and "more info" and week 3-7 will probably be roster, week 2 I would guess is special edition and preorder bonus with week 8 being early release so does anyone want to guess what the more info coming monday is? Even if we make it mid october which would have it inside historical standards we move early release to week 10 that would make week 8 DLC and week 9 as a hype week either way I like the idea of weekly info till release Just as a note the Last 3 games came out october 13,11,5. 2k16 15 and 14 all came out last week of october Brokenogre fucked around with this message at 18:35 on Jul 31, 2019 |

Yeah that's what happens when they add nothing to the mode, honestly that theoretical week 9 will probably be quality of life tweaks to existing modes, monday I'm expecting cover gameplay footage and POSSIBLY the announcement of a new mode or match type (thinking war games is best bet here but it will be forced to only one arena) maybe the announcement of 40 and 50 man rumbles, and more likely than anything else is the announcement of showcass mode for this year That being said I will hope in vain for a GM mode cuz that is something my fiancee has been enjoying in the old smackdown games recently

people need to stop hoping these 2K games will ever be good. every year they get more unfun and bogged down with endlessly and needlessly complex simulation bullshit. I can't even kick out of a loving pin in the latest one without some loving hair trigger puzzle or do a submission without a rubik's cube appearing onscreen. The best we can hope for is if the nerds in AEW search out somebody to just recreate No Mercy with their roster because that's still imo the best wrestling game. WWE 2k14 might actually be my second favorite since it had a lot of fun poo poo but had not yet been transformed into a complete mess of bullshit systems and micromanagement. It was also the last game that really allowed for me to put custom mp3 music for entrances since it was on PS3.

The 2K games are now only good for whatever insane physics glitches nL discovers in the first hour of gameplay and that's basically it. At this point even story creator coming back wouldn't really matter because the core gameplay just isn't that fun.

I don't think Brokenogre and I ever talked about the possibility of 2K20 being good, just speculating what would be on it. poo poo, I can't even play it if I wanted, as I'm still using a PS3.

They've hosed up PINS and submissions in a wrestling game. Every year is just another random dumbass replacement system that's stupid. 2k14 was definitely the apex of the series, I still pop that one back in.

Yeah I never predicted it will be good I'm just taking guesses at when things will be announced, im a sucker so im gonna buy it just like I buy every other wrestling game that comes to market, I'll pick it up on PC and that will be that I'll still probably go to fire pro as my main game for now, that being said I still like seeing what minor changes they make while still trying to be grounded in realism. Like I would love to see them go back to the breaking point submission system, dont expect it to happen though
