Radicalz, two of my favourites were in my favourite version of The horsemen but to add on Eddie, damn.

I had Yuji Okabayashi vs. Zeus lined up, but I don't think I'm primed to receive it well right now since I would be coming off of Sekimoto vs. Miyahara.
On the other hand, there is this Pentagon Jr. vs. Fenix match from Korakuen in April that I've had on the pile for a while.

As a wrestling game?

WM:A tops some of the most recent games imo. Simply because of the wacky fun element;although, it's more like Mortal Kombat meets WWF.

Going back to the Cruiserweight this Cruiserweight tournament WWE is setting has the potential to be amazing, assuming Vince doesn't use this as an opportunity to bury non WWE talent in a cynical circle jerk.
Which I am expecting to some degree honestly. But the talent involved should at least guarantee good matches no matter the outcome.

Let me share my Goldberg interview again (recorded last week). Lots of good stuff in it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4fmGtkae8Q

Be grateful you never played Wrestlemania 21 on the OG Xbox, I paid full price and felt like I had been robbed when I played it.

I'm still waiting to see how they fill out the 20ish spots that are left!
A wrestling game that is clearly bad, yet you have a good time with it regardless.
My example, WrestleMania X8 on the Gamecube. The graphics suck, the gameplay sucks, the roster sucks, the music sucks, the CAW sucks, the animations suck, the singleplayer sucks. It's hot garbage.
But any time I go back to play the GC wrestling games, I still have a fun time with it. Maybe it's the way wrestlers with high agility fire twenty feet across the ring like they were launched by a rocket when doing a top rope dropkick. Or the way that, upon a successful pinfall victory, both wrestlers instantly stand up and awkwardly stare at each other as the victor's music plays. Or the steel chairs the size of tables.
It's Troll 2 for wrestling games. For GC WWE games, WrestleMania XIX (with that incredible Revenge Mode), DOR1 and DOR2 are actually good, but X8 has its broken hilarity.

Royal Rumble for the dreamcast was as bad as it gets.

Dude! Lol! I was just reminding my cousin how shitty this game was. I rented it and played through it in like 3 days. You go to use your created character and they delete him from the system. So I decided to go to the pawn shop and there the game was for 15 bucks. This is maybe 2 weeks after it came out. Jesus that game sucked.

I love this. They have no budget and give no fucks. So bad it's great.
I feel like I had WMX8, did it have nWo guys but no nWo theme?
Anyway, under that criteria, I guess Raw 2 on Xbox. It was middling across the board but had really stupid AI, yet I played it and played it with a created version of myself with only moves I could actually do irl. But the game itself was pretty disappointing.

We had this game in our arcade and it was a buck to play. I never got to play the game but I'm looking to buy a dreamcast just to play it and an upscsled version of Attitude.Royal Rumble for the dreamcast was as bad as it gets.

Your right. Carry on. I need a energy boost. Where's an Uce when you need one.

Still a few hours until official breakdowns but NBA averaged nearly 16 mil viewers, and Roots and NHL had a combined 10 mil more

The best wrestling game is still WWF No Mercy, the animation is just spot on and modders have done wonders in adding the current roster.

Found my old GCS post list, edited to be up to date:
I literally have no idea how they're planning to fill this out. You add in MAYBE Kalisto, MAYBE La Sombra, who else do you add before it's mostly an NXT tourney, and who else in NXT has that name value as a cruiser? Balor?

Also let's not forget the awful TNA game on the PS3/360 on which you are forced to play as Suicide for the sake a shitty tie in.
Still curious about ICW game which is I the works.

people will fight for Fire Pro
It still amazes me that for all their mocapping newfangled jazz, something as simple as a missile dropkick looks more realistic movement wise in No Mercy than in the newer titles.
That said the basic scoop slam in No Mercy looks weak as fuck.

The Simpsons Wrestling was pretty awful from what I remember. Fun for a few minutes though, until you fight Flanders.

Anyway, technically speaking, the worst wrestling game of all time was this gem here
So, the script was you, as Hulk Hogan, had to go up three levels of adversity to rescue Elizabeth. Not making this shit up. You fought Andre the Giant on the second level and then Macho Man on the third. Yes, you, Hulk Hogan, rescue Elizabeth from Macho Man.
I got this as a birthday gift.
There was a Game Boy Color game called WWF Betrayal, where Steph got kidnapped and you had to go through sidescrolling levels backstage and in factories and stuff to rescue her. You played as Austin, Rock, HHH, or Taker, and if you saved her you were promised a title shot.

Continuing this theme, who's your favourite fictional video game pro wrestler, GAF?
It's a tie between AKI Man or Wolf Hawkfield first me.

I didn't think it was too bad. The graphics were great for its time and the controls were pretty solid (and served as the foundation for WWE All Stars). The problem with the game is that the movesets were shitty, the roster was small, and there weren't enough modes (all pitfalls of being the first iteration of a game series).
Given another year or a sequel, I think it could've been a pretty solid game.

I want a wrestling game that treats wrestling for what it is. You create your wrestler, choose what kind of character you have, your in ring style etc and the whole goal of the game is to get over with the crowds and attempt not to botch in your matches.

Graphically it was spot on but everything else was very mediocre.

We need more absurd wrestling games/modes like this. I think HCTP was the last mainline game to have that kind of arcade wackiness feel. All-Stars was the last game outright devoted to it.

I have a confession. I loved this game when I was a kid. I mean looking back it clearly wasn't good, but for whatever reason I loved it.

I wish Crush Hour had been better. Twisted Metal with wrestlers, a concept I love that much, should have been hard to fuck up

There's only one true answer: Dr. Frank from WCW/NWO Revenge.
He had Jumbo Tsuruta's moveset, and he was so unstoppable that our house rules banned him from our games.

Fenix is incredible.
The Pentagon Jr. vs. Fenix match from Royal Road The Beginning, Akebono's promotion's first show, was a fine showcase match for them. They had a bunch of cool spots, and they even got the crowd to chant "Cero miedo," albeit fairly faintly.
The little tail on Fenix's mask gives his corkscrew a little more visual panache.

Survivor Series on the gameboy was my shit a decade ago. I would probably hate it though if I played it now.

It's not *that* crazy to think someone who was king of the ring would go on to be champ. I mean if they'd given Barrett the belt we'd have been surprised, but I don't know that we'd have been shocked. He could have carried the belt.
100% certain I'd be able to find something Fight Club when they were showing Seth's house. Marla Singer blowing smoke poster in the living room.
In the time period between Seth's injury and comeback though?

Oh boy, the Urban Wrestling Federation is coming back to PPV. The return show, "Bloody Bullet," is out today on demand for $9.99, and it's an hour long. Is there any chance Sunny can get Stro to review this?
