So I'm playing Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game and oh my fuck this game is still fun. I have no idea if it's actually good though
Fuck it, it's now in my fave five wrestling games

Freeze at 40:38 to find him.
Fun game but crappy controls. You got to do a Konami code just to irish whip a dude.

Apparently, the next NXT special wasn't supposed to be until March. Then they made the decision last week to do it in February, so they had to rewrite all the TV tapings the day of the tapings and move all the new storylines up. Main eventing the special with a non-title match (unless that changes), seems strange. I only glanced at spoilers, so I'm unsure if it actually becomes a title match. But I'm sure Owens and Zayn can pull it off.
Unless you have an immense draw like Rock or Brock the Rumbo should always be last.
Last match was Mark Henry vs. Kurt Angle.
All because Undertaker returned and did his shitty lightning trick to break the ring. I remember because it was the Batista era and Henry injured him a couple weeks prior. Just think, it could've been Batista killing Henry, before killing Undertaker, and capping off his glorious year long reign at Wrestlemania 22 by killing whoever else (Orton or Rey or some other jobber). What could've been.

I loved their justification for it being non-title. It's nice to see some order on a wrestling show.

Can't have the NXT Special to upstage ROMANMANIA 31, brother, friend, beleeber, cunt, friend.
I love Cesaro bro, but let it go man.

Yeah it is completely logical from a storytelling perspective, which is fantastic. Just didn't expect it. Either way, this special has potential to be the best one yet knowing the matches we're getting. And that's saying something.

Hogan vs the genius brahs
Would sort of devalue the tournament if that's going on and Owens just gets a title shot because. Plus this way they can have Owens win the first match without making Sami's reign super short.
NXT is busy all through March, basically. They have that big show at the Arnold classic (not just their first outside of Florida, but that's in a 1000+ seat arena, biggest ever for NXT), and obviously they're going to be a part of WM week. So I guess they want to make sure they've finished up storylines for guys down in NXT before the busy March, and then the post-WM call ups. I think this next special will be Neville's last, for instance.
Also nice to see him bringing in his old moves gradually:
Plus going by the Tyler Breeze storyline he might be found dead on the next special.

Tyler was sellin those kicks
Might happen this Mania actually. If they are going to push him I can see him coming in at two (because two is worse than one, you see) and clearing the ring multiple times.

NXT will tape the Friday after the special and the Friday after that. This way they will have all the shows done through Mania.
That's a good idea. Until the February thread, this thread is devoted to this community finding non-wrestling stuff to watch. Be it Netflix, HBO Go, Hulu, Xfinity, Uverse, or movie theaters.
Last night I watched The Life Of David Gale. I was into it until about half way through the second act when Kevin Spacey's acting turn to shit and the story got ridiculous. I hadn't even heard of this film, but he lady I was with (quitting wrestling had meant a dramatic increase in banging) said her mom kept telling her to watch it. So we watched it. It's on HBO Go, which also has The Sopranos and The Wire. It's about a reporter (Kate Winslet) who gets the last interview with an anti-death penalty dude (Kevin Spacey) who is now on death row for the murder of his co-worker at said anti-death penalty firm. It has some solid acting, but god damn does it turn into a lot of fuckery in the second half of the movie. I really thought it was made no later than 1997 based on the fashion and editing, but is actually from 2003.
I was totally down until around half way through when
Spacey's character turns into a drunken mess and his drunk acting is TERRIBLE. Plus, the story takes about 5 turns that get more and more convoluted even though you have a pretty solid idea of where everything is heading even before the second act starts.

I see this special and following set of tapings being the last for Neville and probably Charlotte. I think they did the four-way so that they can get the belt off of Charlotte without pinning her. Same way they took the belt off Paige so that she didn't have to job.

It's not really a wrestling game though. Even SNSM is more of a wrestling game.

It's such a good movie. Best Picture for days, fuck what ya heard
I love that game, but good lord is it dumb as hell. It also got a ton of versions somehow; I remember a PSX, Saturn, and SNES version too?
Highlights of that game were Doink's multiple top rope moves, Bam Bam's top rope move LIGHTING THE OPPONENT ON FIRE, and Razor Ramon's 50 foot piledriver

He's definitely starting to hit harder recently. Should be hella fun to see how stiff him and
Balor work each other in the Takeover go home show.

This thread IS NOT ABOUT WRESTLING, boners. Christ. Stop talking about wrestling. Start talking about movies/tv shows/plays you've seen, games you've played, or music you've heard lately.
I am going to talk about wrestling. I will not be oppressed!

I think that's why I like it so much, because it's basically a fighting game.
It's something I would love to see done nowadays. It could be something incredibly stupid and fun if made by the right company.
A. Fuck you
B. I will not have that Vita/pedo shit in my thread.
You, Vylash, Sunny, and Bronson keep that shit to yourselves.

1000 year old daemons on steam now? Damn thought valve had standards.
I genuinely think Hogan works as an actor as long as he fills 1 of 2 roles.
Role 1: Badass dude who's also kind of goofy. Like a suburban dad who used to be a Special Forces guy and now he has to juggle the PTA and the PMCs.
Role 2: Goofball musclehead love interest. I actually think he's best in class at this. Like I'd take him over Sly or Arnold for it. There's parts in Thunder In Paradise and the hotel scene in No Holds Barred where I think he fits the role perfectly.
He's always gonna look like Hogan, but I think he could have had a better career if he had more roles like that. He's god when he's an understated badass. When he's playing along with kids like a goof but NOT when he's doing stuff like Mr. Nanny, Santa With Muscles, and 3 Ninjas. He needs to be the hardened veteran who can have some fun who doesn't take stuff too seriously but isn't quite whacky sidekick.
They've had it for over a year now. Now you understand why Gaf loves Steam so much and hates Origin.
