One cool little detail is how during an Elimination Chamber match, when Ziggler and Bryan started fighting, Lawler started talking about how Ziggler's gone on record to say that he would love nothing more than to do a 60-man iron man match with Bryan and how that would be such a fun match to see. In other news, a few months ago, I asked for help on this article on weird wrestling video game moments. Unfortunately, since it wasn't topical, my editors shelved it for later. With WWE 2K15 out, they finally posted it. Thanks again for everyone who gave me a hand with that. The 25 Weirdest Moments in Wrestling Video Games

projecthalaxy posted:This was a really good article. I loved them mention of Bam Bam's Wrestlemania epilogue. My brother and I used to play Wrestlemania at the pizza place, and the first time he cleared the game (he always played Bam Bam), we saw that and were so disturbed it put us off the game for months. Bam Bam Bigelow was a murderer and I don't know how to accept that.

"And so it came to be that she laid on her death bed, ready to escape from this heartless world, and she turned to me with a smile on her face. She whispered to me and I knew. I knew that she knew that I cute. She was aware that I was sexy! My moves would drive all of creation wild, but what you call insane I know to be sane. I have always known. You will know it too. Follow me and I will lead you to your boyhood dreams. Refuse me and you will shatter through the windows of fate, destined to suffer in obscurity until the stars burn out in the sky and your judgment as come! Be my boy! Be my toy! For I am not yours! She looked at me. She... smiled. And then she died. My sunny days were behind me. I too had lost my smile. I'm sorry. I love you. Run."

Solomonic posted:Playing through showcase has reminded me that 1) the Attitude Era stuff, despite my nostalgia, was hilariously overbooked and 2) we really, really need a Kane showcase in one of these games. Teaming with X-Pac, electrocuting Shane's testicles, May 19, making plans to destroy the Undertaker, Corporate Kane, Team Hell No, the whole thing. Only if Money in the Bank is part of it. That was a masterstroke.

TelevisedInsanity posted:Been streaming it on my twitch (JordanGames) and the positive is that i get to actually hear my first and last name finally used in a wwe match. My last name isn't in there, so I went with "Jackson" because it sounds close enough to "Jasper." I'm totally okay with it because it makes 100% sense in the "just got signed to NXT" narrative.

joylessdivision posted:Whatever happened to their game anyway? I mean it looked like it might be fun if it ever came out. Still being worked on, but it has an incredibly small dev team. Hell, it might just be one guy for all I know. They still send updates to backers and last I heard they at least got the basic one-on-one system finished up.

As a fun little creative exercise, I decided to work the WWE 2K18 roster into a trios tournament based on the available talent. No CAWs, only male wrestlers, only those currently available and no overlapping (ie. one version of Foley allowed). Trying to work current talent and legends into a dream tournament while having every trio make some kind of sense and trying to incorporate as many big names as possible. Here's what I ended up with: 1) The Shield: Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins 2) New Day: Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods 3) Fabulous Freebirds: Michael PS Hayes, Jimmy Garvin, Buddy Roberts 4) The Wyatt Family: Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan 5) Sanity: Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe, Killian Dain 6) Miz TV: Miz, Curtis Axel, Bo Dallas 7) Titus Worldwide: Titus O'Neil, Apollo Crews, Akira Tozawa 8) The Heenan Family: Andre the Giant, Mr. Perfect, Rick Rude 9) The Hart Foundation: Bret Hart, Jim Neidhart, British Bulldog 10) The Club: AJ Styles, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson 11) Evolution: Ric Flair, Batista, Randy Orton 12) The Corporation Elite: Mr. McMahon, Shane McMahon, Triple H 13) The Clique: Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall 14) The Ultimate Maniacs: Ultimate Warrior, Randy Savage, Brutus Beefcake 15) Phatu and Sons: Rikishi, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso 16) Team Oh Yes: Undertaker, Kane, Daniel Bryan 17) Kings of Wrestling: Cesaro, Sheamus, Kassius Ohno 18) New Team Angle: Kurt Angle, Jason Jordan, Chad Gable 19) Team Awesomeness: Edge, Christian, Rhyno 20) Team WCW: Sting, Goldberg, DDP 21) Kevin Owens and Friends: Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Chris Jericho 22) Team Attitude: Steve Austin, The Rock, Mankind 23) Team USA: John Cena, Lex Luger, Mark Henry 24) Mass Destruction: Big Show, Earthquake, Typhoon 25) Dust T Rhodes: Goldust, Booker T, Dusty Rhodes 26) Fashion Force: Rick Martel, Fandango, Tyler Breeze 27) Monsters of Pain: Braun Strowman, Akam, Rezar 28) Rulers of the Wasteland: Sycho Sid, Konnor, Viktor 29) The Stampede: Big Boss Man, Vader, Bam Bam Bigelow 30) The Lone Destroyers: Brock Lesnar, Samoa Joe, Baron Corbin 31) The NXT Pantheon: Finn Balor, Bobby Roode, Shinsuke Nakamura 32) The Enlightened: Rusev, Jinder Mahal, Aiden English The biggest names to be excluded are Ziggler, Eddie Guerrero, Jake Roberts, JBL, Steamboat and RVD. Maybe Roberts/Revival would've made more sense for that last team.

joylessdivision posted:Wasn't there a Chikara game being developed like ages ago? They just released a public beta for the create-a-wrestler part of the game. A few weeks ago they also released a pretty decent free mobile game called Kingdom of Trios. A puzzle fighter game that I guess is a lesser and non-freemium version of that WWE mobile game. Razerhawk keeps complaining on Twitter about how overpowered he is and how now everyone hates him.

Sydney Bottocks posted:I looked at the official page for the game, and it said you can create your own wrestlers, feds, etc., so I will definitely be keeping an eye on this. Yeah, they released a beta of just the CAW stuff to let people play with it and released a video of the best arenas and wrestlers. It came off really well and there's a good video of the New Legacy guys messing around with it.

This is the second Dean Ambrose. You said to call you if I had any issues and, well, my contract is coming up and you guys haven't really been using me, so I was wondering--" "Never call this number again." *click*

mary had a little clam posted:If this is the "finished product" with no major patches, it will be a pretty janky mess. But if they steadily fix the bugs and glitches, I think it could be a chill way to piledrive fools dressed as Joe Biden or whatever. From what I understand, they're going about it the same way as the latest Fire Pro. Fix it up and work on it over time, then when they have a product they're happy enough with they'll release it on consoles.

flashy_mcflash posted:Here's a newish trailer for Action Arcade Wrestling. I don't know how it plays but it looks surprisingly great. This is basically how I imagined Fire Pro would look when they said it was coming to this current console generation. I played it a bit before they removed Chikara's name and roster. It feels very incomplete. Like it could be the basis for a good wrestling game if it had more manpower. Great CAW system, though.
