I'll buy WWE 14 if Bo Dallas is in it.

The last genuinely good wrestling WWE game was Here Comes the Pain. Once they switched over to SvR, the series went to shit. It wasn't an immediate drop mind you, but a steady decline. SvR and SvR06 were decent, nothing completely offensive. SvR07 was when the series really went to shit. Then I remember getting 08 and dropping it within 2 weeks. Last one I bothered buying.
The problem is that instead of actually improving the core gameplay, or even the visual presentation, they would just add shitty system after shitty system that they would drop in the next installment.
Let me see: face and heel meters (could've been decent, execution was shit), right analog stick throws (barf), stamina meter where you couldn't even fucking run from the entrance to the ring apron without gassing out mid fucking way there (please kill me).
Also: voiced story mode may sound nice, but it absolutely killed any randomness that could happen in the career mode from HCTP. You will always face the same guy in the same storyline with no variation whatsoever. And the big one: GM FUCKING MODE, who asked for this shit exactly? I bet nobody played this shit other than the super ultra Smarks. Even they probably thought it was inadequate anyways, useless edition all around.
Btw, is the challenge mode still in the series? I remember that being super fun in SvR, and SvR06.
All in all, Yukes and THQ managed to singlehandedly kill one of my favorite PS2 series right in front of my eyes. I'll never forgive them for this shit. I hope 2K can turn it around :/
The Baltic Siege has to be the most ridiculous stable in all of wrestling;
. The Estonian Thunderfrog
. The Latvian Proud-Oak
. The Lithuanian Snow Troll
. The Proletariat Boar of Moldova
. Mr. Azerbaijan
Also, might as well keep track of the upcoming Wrestling is... stuff if this is what CHIKARA's going to be for the foreseeable future. So far they've got booked;
C. Wrestling is Cool - announced a show for July 21st in Deptford, NJ. No matches at this time.
H. Wrestling is Heart - no announced shows.
I. Wrestling is Intense - no announced shows
K. Kaiju Big Battel - Brawl in the Family, July 20th, NYC.
A. Wrestling is Art - announced shows for August 10th in Haverhill, MA, and August 11th in East Greenwich, RI.
R. Wrestling is Respect - announced a 'Quest for the Best' tournament to take place on June 30th in Boonton, NJ. Featuring; Green Ant, Francis O'Rourke, Anthony Stone, Gran Akuma, Jervis Cottenbelly & Drew Gulak.
A. Wrestling is Awesome - announced shows for July 6th in Fairfield, ME, and July 7th in Rochester, NH.
!. Wrestling is Fun! - running their next show on June 22nd in Easton, PA. Featuring the debut of Shenron, The Spectral Envoy vs Baltic Siege #1, Amasis vs Juan Francisco, The Bravados vs Baltic Siege #2 & Shane Storm vs Jaka.
So, our next 'CHIKARA' fix will be Wrestling is Fun! & the tournament from Wrestling is Respect in late June, Wrestling is Awesome & Wrestling is Cool in July, with Wrestling is Art in August.
This whole situation is confusing. I wonder if they'll continue to price the Wrestling is... shows at $4.99, or if they'll increase as more talent from the main CHIKARA roster is booked.
I hope they keep the shows at $4.99 since we'll be buying at least two promotions shows a month to keep up. I'm looking forward to the Quest for the Best to see if maybe Kingston makes his return to challenge the winner since he's still the Grand Champion. Hopefully we get some CHIKARA info at the next WIF show.
I'd like to see Francis O'Rourke vs Kingston, so I'm hoping he wins it - would be a good way to debut him to the larger CHIKARA audience, although I'm not sure how much of the audience really kept up with the 'Wrestling is' stuff so far.
Wrasslegaffers only pleeeeease:

I have peaches.
wo0t! Add me and open your gates! 4983-5096-5352
And the Nakamura/Sombra match should appear somewhere sometime later today
I want to believe that Sunflower named his Animal Crossing town "Batistown".

Such a shame, I bet Big Dave himself would've come visiting bearing basketball like oranges and bearing no grudges had the town been named Batistown.It's Hades. It's an old holdover from...well it's always been Hades in the past. Why mess with perfection?
Batistown would have worked though...
i wouldn't even say a fifth of the regular chikara audience has kept up with Wrestling Is... and i think im being generous
Also, Animal Crossing is amazing. I need fruits that arent oranges! Get on it people!

Did you even talk about wrestling anymore? Every time I come in here, you're discussing something random from your life.I don't understand how people are supposed to beat some of the high end Extra Ops tank/plane battles in Peace Walker. Even with help with dudes who are S ranked, we get crushed since it's basically nonstop rocket launchers at you from every direction.
Hell, even the character models were much better then. Funny enough, the models now don't even have sweat, lol.

Anyway, the trick to beating anything in Peace Walker is to call for rations or ammo.
No, it's not.It's better than bringing up pictures of Kane.

If anyone gets the chance, download the demo of SvR2007 on 360, and see how it plays.
2011 was really bad.

Nothing beats the Booker T one.
