I just burst out laughing, remembering a WWE 2K 11 story called “the Goldust mysteries.” It had Dustin as a detective, Vance archer as his sidekick who would only talk about how intense it was, and a transliterated Drew McIntyre accent.
It also had, about 40 minutes into the storyline, a cutaway to king and JR. they were never featured again, not that I remember, but had this exchange.
KING: hey JR, what do you think about all these gold dust mysteries?
JR: Frankly king, I don’t care if he lives or dies!

It then returned to the story.

Friday nights are for Wapner!

I just picked up Fire Pro on the PS4 (It's 75% off on the PSN Store, about $15 right now). Going to get on the FPW.Net site tonight to download some CAWs. Are there any particular users I should look out for that make good quality CAWs? Looking to maybe build out a good Monday Night Wars roster so would be on the lookout for WCW and WWF CAWs especially.

It's got its advantages in the sense that you can pick between a lot of animations, it's all in-engine and there's practically no barrier of entry save for actually purchasing the game. But I have to tell you, ever since I started using Renpy for the story scenes of my fed I'm not exactly looking back with fondness on the time I used WWE '13's and WWE 2k14's story creator.

It's really good to get into some quick creative fun, though.

Big news in the Fire Pro Mod world this week. Custom Weapons are now a Thing. People are already going wild with it. Tables, ladders, toasters, dildos, mailboxes, and more. And that's just after like 4 days of this feature existing.

Also the Takuan NJPW Collectable Fire Sale is still ongoing. I've still got a few 3star cards, and I'm up to like 7 1-star Jay Briscoes from trades I've made with other people.

And for the 4 people that watch, W.A.V.E. Pro Wrestling begins at 8:00PM Est featuring Good And Entertaining E-Wrestling! Come check it out it's fun!

tbh the fact that this game existed at all is nothing short of a loving miracle. I'm beyond grateful that Fire Pro returned at all and with so much quality to the game. I wish even more could have been added but for such a small team they really went to the limits and dedicated so much time to such a niche game series.

The moves people have been modding into the game are done using an incomplete version of the move creation tool and a script that shoves them in as best as possible, so, I'm not sure how limited it'll be tbh. I imagine that an official tool will drastically lower the amount of RAM the game uses up to do that, at least...

I did some poking around before it was blocked off from easier access, and it allows for the creation of basically any move shown in the game, though some will require a good bit more work to account for multiple angles and versions done near the corner/out of the ring.

This wacky rear end game posted:

Before the final battle against reigning world champion Dick Slender, based off real-life wrestler Ric Flair, the player character's girlfriend leaves him. To make matters worse, during the match Slender murders the player character's tag-team partner in the ring, and also confesses to killing his trainer before the fight.

After winning the bout, the player character realizes that he was using wrestling as a means to fight off depression. With nobody left, and no higher to climb, three days later he commits suicide in his home

Only now at the end did 2K understand that people wanted ridiculous poo poo in their wrestling games so we get moves that are crazy and impactful looking instead of slow as gently caress, and a straight-up Fist of the North Star pressure point strike.

Just a comprehensive book taking a look at every wrestling video game ever made, up to WWE 2k18, including unreleased games, games featuring wrestlers, interviews with some developers, etc. Every game gets at least half a page, but most have several page write-ups. Just an astounding number of games I never knew existed for obscure overseas computer platforms.
