Shinya Hashimoto & Tatsumi Fujinami vs Yuji Nagata & Manabu Nakanishi - Super Grade Tag League - (NJPW 11/16/1998)

Fun match here with young Nagata & Nakanishi doing a good job of standing up to Hash & the Fuj, who take no small delight in dishing out an ass kicking to the upstarts. There's a double stomp from Hash about half way through, looks sick as hell. You see guys like Low Ki put all this effort into making it look like they're actually stamping on a guy, but it never looks as good as Hashimoto just stepping off the top rope onto some poor bastard's chest.

Thank you for using the American dating convention of mm/dd/yyyy.

It kind of bothers me that no one on screen has tied He's Got The Whole World In His Hands to Bray being the eater of worlds.

I guess. They seemed to drop that nick name, but it makes more sense than ever if he's going to be singing about having the world in his hands every show.

Feels clumsy. He's singing the song to make fun of Cena's Messiah complex. He doesn't want to destroy that world he's singing about, he just wants to steal it away and use it as a tool to knock Cena in the dirt. If he "wins" the feud, it might make sense then.

What if he ate the Punkverse and that's why Punk hasn't been seen since the Rumble? He's going to eat the Superstarsverse next.

I've had three glasses of wine and I'm enjoying a French pop singer tear it down at the Bell Centre in Montreal. Oh shiiiit! Private boxes are fucking awesome!
 
Rewatched that Ishii vs Honma match from Dontaku, easily the best of the show, but goddamn I wish Honma had another move to come off the top-rope with, that Kokeshi to the floor was scary;

That's fucking stupid. Reminds me of Candido/EY doing the Flair Flop from the second rope to the floor as a regular spot for a while.

Bryan Alvarez mentions in passing in this week's newsletter that they're thinking about doing for Goldberg this year what they did for Ultimate Warrior last year, that is having him be a big part of the video game and then do something at WM31. If they're going to have him in the video game, then that implies a WCW mode and if that's going to be in the game then Yuke's would have started doing it already.

Basically WCW mode confirmed.

WCW mode would be so rad, but I'm 100% convinced it will be only of guys who have already been in games, will be reusing models, have multiple versions of Rey/Jericho/Eddie/Nash/Hall/Hogan/Show/Booker and the only new addition would be Sting. The odds of anyone who hasn't been in games or is under contract to WWE currently being a part of the game would be very slim. If they do a WCW and don't include Disco (at a minimum), I'm not sold.

I hope that means Sting is officially in it. As well as prime Booker T from late WCW and not the jobber from the WWE. I want all attires for Sting. About two for Surfer Sting, two for Crow Sting, and the Wolfpac too. He better be 95 or something overall.

I guess now the random inclusion of Scott Steiner in the nWo pack, and I guess the nWo pack in general, makes sense.

How do you do a Flair Flop from the second rope (aka Bret Hart's rope, aka the best rope) exactly?

Stand with your feet on the outside of the ropes, then do the face first fall to the floor. Candido was doing it in TNA and then EY started doing it as a tribute for a while. I can't find any gifs of it, but it is basically just like what Honma did, but with no one to possibly break your fall and from the second rope.

Played some UFC 3 last night and reminded myself that Yuke's can actually do a good job sometimes. The yearly schedule is killing them more than anything. But maybe, Yuke's have had a team working on a next gen version for a while...

Lol no, it'll be same old crap.

As for WCW roster, they've got Kidman and Malenko as agents still, right?

Well, my streaming equipment works.

Looks like it's time to plan GWF.

WCW mode roster:

Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, X-Pac, Scott Steiner, Curt Hennig, Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Goldberg, Booker T, Chris Jericho, Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, Ric Flair, Goldberg, Cactus Jack, Sting, Ricky Steamboat, The Giant, Brian Pillman, DDP, Vader. Maybe Buff will make the cut. Perhaps Dean Malenko and Hugh Morrus, but no Norman, Disco, Alex Wright, Jerry Flynn, or Kanyon. Arn was in a game a few years ago so they have his model as well. And Lex.

I can't ever seeing them do an ECW mode.

It probably helps that Hashimoto was a hell of a lot bigger than Low Ki. ;) Thanks for the link!

Is Tatanka right and did Lex Luger sell out to the Million Dollar Man? 54 percent of people think Luger did sell out. Tatanka would never lie to us and he has proof!

I hope they put 2005 Eddie Guerrero in the game.

They take the piss with how some wrestlers get so many multiple models, but they can't give Eddie his World Champion look.

I will never get tired of seeing how healthy Jake and Scott are now. Every time I see them doing an interview or something, it just makes me mark like I'd mark for one of my fave five winning a title as a kid.

I can't wait for 2002 Hollywood Hulk Hogan, 1996 Vader, 80s Rick Rude and 1987 Ricky Steamboat and Virgil.

I want everything now. Because they suck so much at updating anything else in the game, at least just extend the roster to a ridiculous size for me.
