That one was never released in Europe so I got the thingy that let you play non-EU games and imported DoR2 from the US. It was the first game I imported from outside EU

Edit: the internet is telling me it was released in the EU. I do not understand. There was extremely definitely a reason I got the thing from the US. Anyway,
Maybe it only came out in the parts of Europe that mattered? I don't recall ever seeing DoR2 in Finnish stores back in the day.

The UK box has one of those "Finnish flag with Quick Start Suomeksi" labels on it, at any rate.

What do those mean, anyway? The game can boot in Finnish without needing to change languages in the options?
It's just a quickstart manual with the basic controls and stuff in Finnish. They weren't going to translate the games into Finnish for the 12 people who might have bought them (and even if they had, the translation would probably have sucked so most would've played in English anyway).

There are plenty of matches from the 00s where people are loving swimming in each other's blood and that was a hell of a lot less than thirty years ago.
HHH himself would bleed buckets in almost every PPV match for years, but obviously that was just the Cerebral Assassin's masterful storytelling at work.

Ruthless Aggression is remembered fondly for its big lumbering oafs like Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Edge, Rey Mysterio, Brock Lesnar, HBK, the Hardyz... hmmm i think they may have forgotten what WWE style even was.
Oh yeah, hmm, I guess Ruthless Aggression 2.0 might have been a bit inaccurate then. What did they call the period in the mid to late 00s when most of those people were gone from the company? (Aside from various synonyms of "terrible", that is?)

And like CM Punk's Cult of Personality, WWE doesn't actually own the rights to Bray Wyatt's theme, they only licensed it.
I'm pretty sure they did in fact buy the rights to Mark Crozer's "Broken Out in Love" (and proceeded to rename it to "Live in Fear" :effort:) after Bray found it in a catalog. If you look it up on Spotify, it lists WWE as the artist, which obviously wouldn't happen if WWE simply licensed the song.

Remember when Keith Lee was the guy everyone said Vince couldn't possibly gently caress up?
No, because the same has been said about a gazillion wrestlers over the years and Vince hosed up every last one of those wrestlers.

One of the things that killed WCW was they had over 300 wrestlers employed and some were being paid guaranteed six figures a year even if they never worked.
While that certainly didn't help, WCW apparently would've lost 40 million dollars in 2000 even if everyone on a guaranteed contract (or was it the entire roster, I forget) had worked for free.

LJN was just the publisher, the only thing they made was a bunch of money when people bought their lovely licensed games. The actual games were made by various companies such as Sculptured Software and Rare, generally with stupid deadlines and low budgets. Occasionally, one of these contracted studios managed to put out a decent game, which is how we got stuff like Maximum Carnage by Software Creations.

That screenshot of Liefeld Omega was pretty worrying, though.
In hindsight, they probably shouldn't have shown the super early build Yuke's threw together for the reveal, because the janky WIP models and animation didn't give off the best first impression and just led to a lot of people complaining about the graphics. The stuff they've showed since then has looked quite a bit better.

Yuke's is also a perfectly capable studio that can create good wrestling games if they're allowed to. It's easy to forget after they've spent so many years working in the WWE 2K mines and churning out yearly installments.

That video embed of "To Kill a Stranger" just says "Video unavailable" for me because the upload appears to be blocked in my region. No worries, though, because there's a wonderful live version of that as well (with several minutes of stage banter because everyone loves listening to that on live albums):
