NXT Diva Invasion!
I haven't been this excited for a game in a while. I'll be pouring the hours in tonight for sure. Stupid Steam centric time lock.
Is this one really called Wrestlemania Play?

Look at the adjective
Troof stuff is a given since he's always been stuck with the worst gimmick since Flash Funk. I thought we made progress with Conspiracy Truth....guess not 
indeed friend. Thank goodness for the streams because I seriously was going to look over this since I confused this game with the Cities XL game.

Sounds like Dennaton, the creators of Hotline Miami, got a little too full of themselves while creating Hotline Miami 2.

The best part of the Bella Twins is Nikki Lex Luger forearming the shit out of divas
KO Diva!
Even money that Rollins cashes in at Mania to fuck over everyone's plans.

I hate how they are underutilizing Renee....
Cena vs Rusev should be a good match. With how good Rusev is, he's going to make Cena look stronk.
I wouldn't mind if that match was the main event. The build up has been caca but the hardcore/marks/smarks/whatever who are going to be in WM that day will probably have a fun time with chants and cheering whenever Rusev does something. They'll be invested in the match...

Que?
There's no shame in doubling down on Reigns.
Give him a dynasty run. Just make him look like a world beater once he gets the title and let him run wild on the entire roster. Let him find his voice on the mic. Book him with appropriate opponents. Its so easy to book him yet the fleet of twenty-something writers are allergic to decent writing.

Yeah, it's been a great example of creative use of youtube/streamers for marketing. One of my friends got a free key due to his 'reputation' streaming strategy & city builder games exclusively.

Is the thread always like that for a Raw? People were getting worked up pretty heavy lol

It's that simple!
I will always be a fan of Truth because of his amazing heel turn. Which they fucked up by making Little Jimmy into an invisible kid instead of an insulting way to refer to the kids covered in Cena merch but whatever. He had at least two amazing, blistering promos out of it.
It really is though. ):

R truth's initial heel turn where he stopped giving a fuck and started smoking indoors was incredible

What's Big Dave saying?

One of the best characters in wrestling for sure. R-Truth seems to be one of those wrestlers that always go under the radar, but has a few real standout moments in his career.

From the last couple of weeks, Dave sounds like he really has lost confidence in Vince. In the past, Dave has always been optimistic about Vince turning things around, but now he firmly believes he's lost it.
It's sad

Yes maam. R-Truth got an INVISIBLE PERSON over. That's amazing. It was wonderful.

It felt like last night Vince gave up on Reigns and decided to fall back to Cena and Orton. He let Heyman basically go full on face and Reigns was a side show to the Orton - Rollins stuff.

How is it the WWE is always the worst company when it comes to booking black talent? Right now TNA, ROH and Lucha Underground all feature black talent in a far better way than the WWE.

Unskippable cutscenes in 2015, other cutscenes you need to button through in order to get to the gameplay, more limited player choices in Hotline Miami 2 than in the original (have to play certain stages with certain characters). Just seems more bloated than the original, which was lean like Finn Balor.
I only watch turtles do puroresu.
It's weird that Sunny will post about how he'll ignore someone for posting racist/sexist things but won't ignore the WWE weekly show.

It was unfortunately inevitable that Stardust/Goldust and Miz/Mizdow was never going to happen at Wrestlemania.
Keep in mind that despite 4 hours to fill this is the ppv event that has over recent years almost consistently had one match end in under 2 or 3 minutes (or even the fabled 13 odd seconds for Bryan/Sheamus) and manages to short change other match ups with them getting half the time they should due to excessive promo reels on random fluff, backstage segments, musical numbers and on two occasions Trips and Taker clawing around the mat for faaaar longer than necessary to try and force the ferocity of their matches.
If we got Miz/Mizdow it'd probably end in a rollup on Miz in the first minute while the Rhodes brothers get 5 whole minutes to try and tell their story before we swiftly make way for Jim Duggan and a celebrity guest screaming together backstage while Cole forces a laugh, instead everyone will get forced into the card through multi man matches.
So at this point I'm just hoping the ladder match gets a good run time like the earlier MitB matches and not the later ones which were beginning to fill the battle royale role on a smaller scale.

Well wouldn't you?
How many people here are genuinely excited for WrestleMania and will watch outside of it being WrestleMania?
It's not even a Reigns thing, it just feels like this Mania season has no fire to it. No real luster.
So many great angles seem to be dropped in favor of getting all of these part-timers on the card, and then wanting the entire roster to get in on the show.
I feel bad for the people who are there the other 11 months of the year as they get to be a side-note on the biggest show of the year.
And even then they can't make a compelling angle out of it.
Top to bottom this card doesn't feel special. The build doesn't feel special. The Raws haven't felt special. Hell, the theme for this year sucks... personal taste. It sounds like nothing!

Really a shame DmC Definitive Edition still is inferior to the PC version. To be fair though that PC version was INCREDIBLE. I can fuck with it though for the added difficulties and AI behavior options. Good shit. Great game. Can only be better now.

My reasons are my own! I don't really want to get into it, but it wasn't for that. I'll be happy to explain via PM but I doubt it's important enough to do.

Mizdow turning on Miz at Mania will probably be the one thing everybody here absolutely likes. Why would you want it done earlier and instead have a match between them that Sandow would likely lose at the event
