Where are these WWE comics coming from? I need a sauce. These look much better than the real thing
Yeah they aren't really gaming podcasts anymore. It tries to be a comedy podcast involving people that occasionally play video games. They really don't know how to bail on a bit when it isn't working.
The wrestling podcast is a separate subscriber-only thing.

Punk/Bork was better than Bryan/Cena by a hair, I think.
Edit: But Bryan has GOT to win it, I think. Prior to his title win, nobody this year was more entertaining or consistently better in the ring, and even after his title win, he had some damn good matches.

Preview from the first issue . Out in comic stores next week!
It helps if you've listened for awhile, I think. It's hard to say "go back and start at the beginning", though that's what I did.
Still, I've listened for a few years and I really think the best episode is the one from July 23 of this year. There isn't a lot about games on it, but I don't think there needs to be.
Also, they have a separate podcast for wrestling, so you'll rarely hear it come up on the bombcast.
Meanwhile...
That's right.
People marked out more for a
sock puppet battle
Giantbomb is best during E3. They actually mostly stay on topic.

Punk vs Bork was great. But you need to make sure - is Punk going to the HBK tier of "I don't need belts" or are people refusing to give him one?

I found this two years ago for £15, I snapped it up but can't bring myself to watch the actual documentary in there.
I did watch the matches though, in fact I watched the cage match against Angle just last week.
Going through that Retro/Tropical Freeze thread gives me similar feelings, so much unending salt and armchair BUSINESS that encapsulates my most loathed aspects of Gaming side combined with DK as the whipping boy simply because peoples hilariously unrealistic expectations weren't met back at E3, bloody hell, pass me one of those folding chairs.
People today care too much about the work rate for wrestling. The issue is the characters are mostly abysmal and there's a big lack of decent storylines all around. I can't get invested in any Cena feud because it's 99% of the time the same BS with the same predictable ending in his matches, complete with commentary doing the horrendous underdog story.
Random video, but just dicking around on Youtube and now watching 1991's Saturday Night Main Event, featuring Macho Man and Vince McMahon on commentary.

Has Punk also lost his smile too?

That's what I was wondering. So the whole cast of TD are faces and every other diva is a heel? Just because they are on the E! Hit show?
The same E! show in which several of the cast are heels.

When will the gaming side be done talking about 1080 vs 720? The extra p's don't make killzone or knack any more fun than Dead Rising 3.

I wanna talking about TLC.
The way WWE handles continuity is so strange. TD has it's own reality, which is allegedly SHOOT reality. But TD also has their own version of what is real on WWE shows, which doesn't actually match what is reality on Raw/Smackdown. Yet Raw/SD promotes Total Divas every week.

It will always be something. Both are good systems, let's just move on.
The only thing that really matters is if WWE 2K15 looks better than a ps2 game.
Speaking of which it seems like 2K is cleaning out the old THQ guard. They fired the community manager and Cory Ledesma (who was a lead designer I think).
I don't mind whether NJPW isn't in English, as long as I get some great matches. Thanks for the recommendations.
And I should do a current fave 5, granted they're all WWE.
5. CM Punk
4. The Shield
3. Goldust (he has seriously impressed me on this return)
2. Daniel Bryan
1. Antonio Cesaro
Oh cool, two people who probably had no decision making ability in terms of gameplay.
Yukes will be there. Then. Now. Forever.

I'd just like to point out that Monday was not the ONLY time CM Punk has ever sung.
What made Monday weird was how strung-out Punk looked the whole show. WWE should give him and AJ two weeks after TLC to just fuck and sleep non-stop, let them come back fully-rested and ready for the Rumble.

Ledesma was the creative director for about 8 years I think. So he must have had some input. The community director means nothing though.
Yukes has made some decent wrestling games, they just need proper direction. As soon as 2K got on board we started getting entrance attires. Baby steps.
Logic can't derail this train. It's not even a penny on the tracks. It's a cow fart on the wind.

Cena will win Superstar of the Year. WrestleGAF will cry and say how shit doesn't matter.
Bryan wins, WrestleGAF will rejoice and talk about how he finally got his due, then mention Owen a few times and forget about both of them again.
It's not as bad as this guy here, though:

Cena Vs. Orton is just devolving into a contest of who can make me hate them the least. It's like, wrestling can be pretty boring at points, but this rivalry and PPV is something they're making out to be a HUUUUGE deal and it bores me to tears. Why can't we just get more Ziggler and Bryan?
Gaming side will be hostile for the foreseeable future
edit: Before I forget.
So I went to visit some of my wife's relatives a few weeks back. Her Uncle's kids had a PS3. They had it hooked up to their HDTV with Composite. Not Component, Composite. For whatever reason 480p was normal to them.
probably used to all those Wii years
Sort of, yeah. The Slammies don't necessarily mean anything, they're just a look at how the WWE wants to market their stars. Cena winning means nothing because it's more of the same shoved-down-your-throat marketing that we were always going to get. Bryan winning means something different because it's a departure from the norm and gives us hope for more main event feuds with him in the future.

You never played Wrestle Kingdom or Toukon Retsuden then, I take it?
if they're going to keep treating the gamepad like an optional peripheral... they should probably make it an optional peripheral >_>
and I love the gamepad.
either way, it still wouldn't help much. they sold the Gamecube at $99 with Mario Kart bundled and that still sold fuck all.
I find the PS4 vs. Xbone console wars shit was more insufferable than the Nintendoomed stuff, it's up there though

Well let Kofi go with them, then. Punk can let the both of them win at video games. Just put Hunico in his pants and bandana and nobody'll notice.
Ziggler vs. Bryan would likely be a HUGE money drain. Ziggler's done, for realz. Jobbing to Sandow two weeks in a row is WWE insulting him before he gets future endeavored. And while Bryan has alot of potential to become a major star even now, SS proves that he's not a draw unto himself yet, as such things take time. For better or worse, Cena and Orton have a decade of credibility behind them, and they're both more likely to draw in casual viewers for a "big match" than either Ziggler or Bryan, sadly.
Now, as of next year, when ratings'll likely be what matter more than anything, with the big TV deal? Different story. Bryan was undeniably a ratings draw after SS, as was shown in this thread every week. Honestly, once that happens, I think WWE would be well-served returning to a 4 PPV structure, as having 4 BIG DEAL PPVs will likely draw more, en toto, than 11 "eh" PPVs, with only Wrestlemania being truly reliable.
Edit: I'm just hoping we get some funny moments out of the Slammies, like Booker reacting to The Boogeyman coming out for no reason. Anything else is cake.
