fr0id posted:What happened that the incredible aki wrestling engine has stopped being used after the def jam games. Like it was absolutely perfect for wrestling I believe AKI used it for the Def Jam games and possibly some Ultimate Muscle games that only came out in Japan and then they stopped making wrestling games. The AEW game is inspired by the AKI games and from what people who've gotten to play it have said it feels like it.

It's astonishing that so many infamously horrible WCW moments all happened as part of one storyline in the span of like 6 weeks

Also they tend to be weirdly lovely about women like the time they kept mocking Paige while she was at her low point in life and had called them out over it

I know the theoretical is what would Hogan do in WWF in 1998 but also what would WCW do without him? Does the NWO fizzle out way faster than it eventually did or do they panic and try to make someone else like Savage the leader?

Edge & Christian posted:There really is something fascinating about the genuinely famous/successful serial liars, your Hogans and Trumps and I guess Vince/WWE as a Corporation. Like Ganso said, I almost understand someone like Tommy Tallarico looking at their actual range of accomplishments and needing to make up a bunch of poo poo to make them seem more successful than they are. Does Hogan think he's Jeff Jerret?

For reference Andre died in 1993 and the last time he ever shared a ring with Hogan was in 1990 so either Hogan has completely imagined a match in 1993 that never happened or he completely forgot the like, 25 other times he was in a match with Andre after Wrestlemania 3

TheKingslayer posted:Hogan has that Steven Seagal thing where they both desperately want to be cool so they come up with all kinds of weird lies and one liners that are absolutely dreadful. it's a shame they never teamed up the stories from that filming alone could be a thread. Though Segal did do movies with Steve Austin and RVD and they were, surprising nobody, complete dogshit.

rare Magic card l00k posted:That Piper's Family creation segment is probably the worst thing I've seen ever in wrestling that didn't involve someone's death. This whole run with Piper is a wild trainwreck where he locked himself up in Alcatraz for some reason, refused to join the Four Horsemen, introduced his own team of randos ( and John Tenta) and then immediately replaced them them with the Four Horsemen, inserted himself and the Four Horsemen into the WCW vs NWO feud and basically cost WCW control of the company in the process, and then the Four Horsemen immediately turned on him. Also in the midst of all that he beat Hogan like 4 or 5 times at the peak of the NWO and it never amounted to anything???

Remember that time X-Pac took a poo poo and hid it in Mark Henry's lunch? Or how Randy Orton would take advantage of wrestlers insane obsession with handhsakes by going around with his hand down his pants specifically so any time anyone shook his hand they'd have to touch the hand that was just on his dick? Wrestlers are just loving weirdos.

It's weird to me that a wrestling company on the level of WCW/WWE wouldn't just have a few duplicates of everyone's gear that'd get washed regularly and handed out at the show instead of relying on every single wrestler just carrying the one singlet that they have to sweat into every night 6 nights a week 52 weeks a year but I guess you don't get rich by doing things that are beneficial to your employees.

I always thought it was weird how much of Hogan's presentation was about his giant arms, his 20 inch pythons or whatever, and then his ultimate kill move was jumping in the air and landing rear end-first on the opponent.

Angry_Ed posted:It also ties into his tale about having to flee Japan for a while because (according to him, of course) he knocked out Inoki for real in a match, and the Yakuza were going to kill him over it. Didn't he claim he legitimately killed Inoki in the ring but he was revived by someone doing CPR on him somehow? My other favorite quote from Hogan related to Japan: That time he claimed he wrestled 400 days in one year because he was flying to Japan and back so often.

Just remember the one where Hogan claimed in high school he was, for some reason, asked to wrestle the school's amateur wrestling teams "Champion of Champions" and Hulk easily squashed him despite having never wrestled before in his life, and then beat the wrestling coach right after.
