I feel your pain, brah. I want this more than anything, but I just don't see it happening unless THQ loses the lisense and some publisher out there remembers the good ol days of AKI games and brokers a deal.

Well I mean, nobody's saying it has to be a WWE game, right? They could just go the Fire Pro route and fill the game with lawsuit-avoiding lookalikes and throw in a super-deep CAW mode. I'm sure most people who actually know who AKI is would be satisfied enough with something like that.

someone better catch them

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Beefing up for when he has to catch the Big Show as punishment this Monday.

It was a small miracle for Fire Pro R to release, evidenced by the fact that they haven't released another one since. Unless it's a WWE game, there ain't gon be no retail wrestling game coming out as long as the business' popularity keeps declining.

How about a DD game? Like, something on XBLA/PSN/Steam? I mean, if that AAA Lucha Libre game could get a retail release in the US, certainly an AKI game on DD services would be possible?

Heh, I actually forgot about the AAA game. Shocked it even got funded. I'm sure it didn't help the chances of any other dev aspiring to make a wrestling game.

As for a DD release, I'm not even sure. Everyone got all excited when they heard Microsoft went to Spike for a digital Fire Pro, then it turned out it was just some horrible looking avatar crap that hasn't been seen again in like a year. I just don't think most publishers are looking for a wrestling game right now, especially not a "sim."

 

[Liquidsnake]

ok i am going to watch tna on the west coast feed any one else?

2 min. till go time baby!!

why are they playing star wars clip on my wrasslin

 

[G-Fex]

I dunno, it's really stupid.

Star Wars has nothing to fucking do with TNA.

This could be worse than Vince bringing over Perez Hilton

 

[Judderman]

This could be worse than Vince bringing over Perez Hilton

No.

 

[G-Fex]

No.

Okay, but it was a really really stupid intro though

 

[B M ARAGON]

this is the tna episode where sting gets hurt right?

 

[Guzim]

Beefing up for when he has to catch the Big Show as punishment this Monday.

I could see him losing to The Great Khali on Monday.

 

[Judderman]

this is the tna episode where sting gets hurt right?

Spoiler

Yeah. You can see where he gets hurt but it's not obvious. He just has a limp by the end of his match.

do you guys remember when aj styles and daniels where the future of tna

 

[Parallax]

"Summer of Punk 2011"

I think back to the hype train that we all rode and how some of us thought things would change. Only to find out that punk became the monster he tried so hard to fight against. Call me when punk vs austin fucking happens .

 

[RBH]

This probably sounds a bit silly, but AJ Styles may be one of the most underrated guys in wrestling.

I'm watching his match with Daniels from Impact now, and I sometimes feel that because we've watched Styles for so long now, we kind of take for granted just how damn good this guy continues to be.

Word. He should be a star by now, but TNA's mishandled so many people since 2005.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

I know Styles is probably TNA for life, but if he ever did go to WWE, I'd hope they wouldn't do something stupid like lock him up in FCW for years like they've done with Creed. I think enough people know who AJ Styles is that they could just bring him right up to the main roster.

Then again, this is WWE we're talking about here. If Vince didn't make you, you're nobody.

 

[GBONZZZZ]

They used Katy Perry's ET as his entrance music on the NBC presentation of Wrestlemania 27.

Yes, WWE did it. It was from their NBC WrestleMania special.

But Undertaker-sama is so hypnotizing to H-daimyo, he wonders if he is a devil or an angel.

My mind is blown.

Edit: Although it's hilarious.

And plus, you have to be "reprogrammed". The fact Tyler Black and Creed have been stuck in developmental for almost two years is damn ridiculous.

Love it.

I would say how much I like Mickie but she's a Cowboys fan...

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Also, because of Plywood, I'm strongly considering calling Triple H "H-daimyo" from here on out. Shit's just too funny.

 

[FallingEdge]

Btw, check out the finish of that Kenny Omega match I posted above - his 'One-Winged Angel' move is pretty damn brutal, I think I actually prefer it to the 'Croyt's Wrath'.

Yeah it is pretty damn nasty. Gotta love Omega. Seems to be having a lot of fun in Japan.

 

[Jamie OD]

do you guys remember when aj styles and daniels where the future of tna

Yeah, all the way back in 2004. Heck, I think Styles was considered the next big star before Cena even debuted in WWE. That's how long ago it was.

[rvd2kewl]

Only way to avoid the doghouse? Become Triple H's workout buddy. Brilliant move, Miz. Just brilliant!

 

[DiscoJon]

Drew had a T-Shirt?

[sajj316]

90 lbs bent over rows?

the fuck is wrong witchu miz?

That's what I'm saying. Pretty weak. Even if that was a warm up, why would you let someone take a photo shot of that.

Feb 9 Observer Radio: Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez
Giant episode of Wrestling Observer Radio tonight! Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer discuss everything you ever wanted to know -- at least what's been made public -- about the Nick Diaz/Carlos Condit rematch situation. And there's a LOT to discuss. Also, Smackdown tapings, John Cena vs. Rock finish discussion, Dave's memories of death of Art Barr, TNA PPV preview for Sunday, cage match history and more.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

I've found I've enjoyed wrestling more when I stopped caring about what the dirt sheets say and 'think' will happen.

Though it is frustrating that TNA keeps having one off shows where they show what could be.

 

[Guzim]

38 second mark.

There was a rumor posted in EGM circa 2007 that said "THQ's WWF: No Mercy for the Nintendo 64 is coming back via the WiiWare service with completely updated rosters"

Obviously this never happened but it would have been amazing =/

It's all about the McGame-Face and how you wear it? sounds like the way Cena would PG insult HHH.

Were you just messing with fans?

[Wrekt]

The roster of a wrestling game is completely irrelevant to me. My friends make CAWs and then I play against them for the rest of eternity. I put hundreds of hours into No Mercy and outside of running through the story mode, I played against a real wrestler maybe twice.

It doesn't matter how terrible wrestling is right now. If it is fun, the game will sell.
