Phoenix Dark's Avatar box office prediction. He even had to wear a humiliating avatar for a year reminding himself of it. Good times.

Yeah, I'm going to need to know what was significant about Wrestlemania XXX as somebody who hasn't followed it since I was a little kid. Skimming the OP and last page of that thread doesn't tell me a lot, is it mainly that Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock came back?

Wiimote reveal was the biggest gaming one in my years on GAF, partially due to how that whole generation ended.

But for a specific thread FF13.

Evidently the Undertaker has been wrestling all this time and has never lost a single match in over 20 years. Until last night. NeoGAF was bored because this elderly man was presumably going to beat his opponent, Brock Lesnar (who actually left WWF/E to become an MMA star). Then the Undertaker lost. The above link is that moment.

No piece of fiction has had me legit shook like Undertaker losing at Mania, biggest plot twist of all time.

Kneejerk reaction: Same here. It still feels odd, surreal. I haven't seen all of the life sucked out of a crowd since I saw this video. That's the best thing I can compare Undertaker's loss to: A guy nearly breaking his goddamn neck in the ring.

Pages and pages of people talking about how boring Undertaker/Brock Lesnar was because Brock had zero chance of winning.

Then Brock won.

Then this happened, from everybody in the thread:

I'm hardly a wrestling fan anymore, started watching a few events this year in a trainwreck sort of way after a ~15 year absence from following it, but people got angry about the ending to How I Met Your Mother.

I am sure wrestlegaf will tell you soon enough.

Before i was a member i kept on hearing that the FF13 confirmed for 360 thread on neogaf was legend. It sure was.

I guess that even though it's a fictional story, it's one that has been going on for many decades and this one consistent aspect, the Undertaker NEVER loses, was finally broken. It would be like if James Bond died at the end of his next movie or something. Yes it's a scripted, serial fiction, but within its own set of established rules, a cardinal one was broken.

But last time I followed it very closely was about 1988, so I may not be the most reliable narrator.

The fact that it's scripted makes it more shocking imo. As someone else said, it's like if Luke Skywalker got his head chopped off with a light saber in episode 7.



Basically we've been fed the same story with him for 21 straight years where he wins every time. Everyone was completely bored with this since we all expected the same shit we all seen so many times before. But then we didn't get that same story

Can you point me in the direction of this epic bump??
 
Jbaird Thread had GAF in an epic frenzy.

I'm not sure if anything else is in the same stratosphere in terms of seeing a poster have a mental breakdown right before our eyes.
 
The Epic Mickey Wii exclusive thread was a massacre, with all the port begging, that thread is hilarious. Even better after the game ended up being extremely mediocre (IMO).

It's a live action comic or soap opera where the writing tends to go stagnant for incredibly long stretches.

You hope against hope the writers will listen to the fans but they rarely do.

Oh and now wrestling has constant hashtag references as well.

Edit: It's an ugly child that we know is ugly but we love it anyway.

Notice how the dude you quoted said "no piece of fiction" thus implying that professional wrestling is a piece of fiction, which it very much is. It's all scripted, but the same can be said for a fair amount of tv series, books, films, etc.. I would see threads on various forums wherein people would ask something like, "Who would in a fight: The Hulk, Jackie Chan holding a baby in a ladder factory, or The Undertaker at Wrestlemania?" It's silly, but it gives you the idea that The Undertaker at Wrestlemania is goddamn unstoppable. Four years ago, The Undertaker started wresting only one match a year and that would be at Wrestlemania. It really gave you a feeling of how important it was. This year's match seemed like an easy win, and The Undertaker was going through the same motions as he got out of Lesnar's submission hold a couple times and kicked out of his finisher twice. Lesnar hit another finisher and seeing as how Undertaker kicking out of finishers is rather common and how everybody thought this would be an easy win for Undertaker and how Undertaker has wrestled 21 matches at Wrestlemania (an annual event) and never lost, it was an incredibly huge shock that he did not kick out. It just doesn't seem right.
 
Recently, the Watch Dogs thread where video is released that looks pretty close to the initial trailer, and everyone was up in arms over PC footage. In comes back and forth bashing on PS4/PC, and everything inbetween....only to be verified that it was in fact PS4 footage. The ensuing crow eating was substantial.

But being legit shook at WM last night was one for the ages.

OK, put this way I can see how it might be shocking. I had read the bit about it being 21 straight but I didn't realize that was over a 20 year period.

Yeah I suppose I just meant I can't see anything that would interest me about it. People are free to enjoy what they want so long as it doesn't impact others and so on

He lost all the time. Its just that he never lost at WrestleMania. Its a big deal because wrestling isn't real and it essentially means the guy playing him is probably retiring. If he was really a 50 year old dude shoot wrestling, no shit everyone would have expected him to lose. But he's just an actor playing a character who isn't active in the promotion anymore and only appears just to defend his "streak" at that event. There's no reason to expect he'd lose because the actor doesn't HAVE to actually appear at the event if he doesn't want to lose.
 
My votes goes to :

SMASH BROS BRAWL DOJO JAPAN TIME

I am indeed legitimately shaken by this information.
