Use the same control scheme with some polished graphics, fill it with the current roster and legends. People, myself included, haven’t shut the gently caress up about these games in the last 20 years.

Hell, sell the game with like a hundred wrestlers and a bunch of arenas and every quarter sell an update for $10 with some new wrestlers, arenas and costumes. They don’t even have to make a new game every year, just sell dlc like every other sports game should be.
The series that turned into Day of Reckoning on the GameCube had the same basic control scheme, but Yuke's abandoned that engine when THQ/WWE decided to do the same game on each platform and went with SmackDown

Vincel slander is not allowed in this thread, The N64 was the system of WCW and thus the people.

Sir I hold you in very high regard in this forums and I enjoy your podcast and your posts immensely but this is the one thing you are absolutely incorrect on. The proof is very basic: the N64 is garbage and trash and bad, ergo this proves you wrong. Good day, sir.

The amount of money they’re theoretically leaving on the table is definitely less than they make on 2K’s annual series, its DLC, and scummy pre-order schemes.

It was Havoc. He started on the Nitro that was the go-home show, I believe. Fall Brawl was the Sting turn, and by Havoc it was already being undone by Russo.

Yes, it was originally supposed to be his first show in general but they moved it up to the go home Nitro for Halloween Havoc. How could you tell Havoc was his first show, it's so subtle with the worked shoots he'd repeat 10 months later and all the other nonsense.

I remember when Nash got on the mic and did one of those “shoot” promos, the bleeper guy was slow and missed a few. Even if it was scripted bullshit, it was cool he was exposing the state of the backstage.
