I think the best fun is with a computer making the decisions, a human setting it all up, like Fex and I both did with our respective ELECTRONIC VIDEO FEDERATIONS

The CPU is capable of some incredible swerves.

If you wanna book good shit, the high water mark is when Soulplaya and Laserfrog traveled through time to a previous game to take on WCW.



Were you around when Bish was killing and deleting WrassleGAF members, and Soulplaya led a team of dudes to UFC Undisputed 3 to battle the mods in an Octagon?

Fuck GWF had some good shit.

That sounds amazing.

Nah I only lurked here until around early last year I think. Never really made a formal intro, not even a fave five.

Now I'm on the top 10.

Wasn't Sarah Bäckman just a bodybuilder? Sucks for her but I can't remember the last time a pure bodybuilder got over in WWE.

Outside of WWE, Strongman got over in NJPW being a manster.

 

[Sephzilla]

Man, now I'm reminded of how amazed I was that Steamboat could still work.

Arm wrestler actually. World champion, no less.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Arm wrestler actually. World champion, no less.

She would have debuted with a gimmick where she liked smelling feet or something, so it's no great loss. Instead of the obvious... "I'll arm wrestle ya for it" gimmick where she strong arms her way into various title shots.

I'm really amazed it took so long for Lambada to take over my stuff at the site considering how much I slowed down over the last 2-3 months.

 

[Lambda Pie]

I stand by everything I said. Aiii's obsession with AJ is legitimately unsettling as he always knows where she is and what is going on in her personal life. But my real issue is that his obsession bleeds into all the other women in wrestling and any positive (real or ironic) causes him to pop up to insult the woman and/or the people saying something positive about women besides AJ.

And then he gets aggressively defensive and has zero self awareness of how much of a creep and/or serious dick head he comes off as while doing it. Now, a lot of it is sort of half halfheartedly good hearted ribbing, but a lot of it isn't.

I stand by all of it.

We had a fuckton of fun. Heavy's undefeated streak. Sokantish's horrific cheating debut. Bootaaay's heel turn as the Commissioner, screwed Laserfrog out of King of the GWF. The WrassleGAF vs Mods angle. The time travel. The zombies. Professor Beef's Agumon debut. Ithil's transformation from the obelisk of death into a pillar of light. Faction Warfare - Team Mask was doing good.

Lots of fun

Okay, I would actually want to see them try to work this into her character somehow. Her finisher is a submission hold where she just arm wrestles her opponent on the mat and when she wins, the opponent has to tap for some reason.

Net_Wrecker vs. SoulPlaya circa 2012

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Stro and Aii's promos are pretty great. Some good heat building here. BOOK IT UP, SONNY. BOOK IT UP!

Main event booking, friends:

This is all building up the big tornado tag match at Summerslam for the kings of WrasslinGAF

the contrarian gimmicky poster squad(Bionic-Arm, bean breath, Lambda Piscium, Sunflower, Heel) vs the uber-postive post-constantly watch everything on WWE network team (Aiii, swerenewarfare, Dr Duncan Steel, Sblargh)

Plywood as special guest ref

Stro and Fallingedge on english commentary

Nocturnowl and some other jobber at the commentator table that gets destroyed first

Yeah Heavy was undefeated and had our TV Title for quite some time.

Goddamn I miss it. Maybe I should...no! No...I shouldn't.

Same as me, Brotherdudejack.

I'd also like to thank you guys for being so cool with me joining in and making me feel welcome. You've known each other for years and I already feel that way with most of you.

Come back when you can Aiii.

A bit from the Observer about the NJPW/ROH stuff;

"The Toronto show had the ROH booker, Hunter Johnston, do half the show and Gedo & Jado did the other half, with each booking the shows with the guys from their company. For New York, because it was a lot of New Japan vs. ROH matches, it was a political deal with both sides co-booking, using Romero as the intermediary. The idea was that New Japan has certain people they wanted protected in booking, as did ROH, and they worked the matches around that. With Tanahashi working low on the card with Bennett, it seems to tell me that he’s hurting (his back is bad) and they aren’t putting him in a main event spot where there will be more pressure on him to have the 25 minute PPV caliber match. Like I said last year, even though his second and third matches with Nakamura were great, I believe he’s won his last Wrestler of the Year award and will be in the superstar emeritus role and follow the career path of Yuji Nagata at a similar phase, where in his time you can go to him for big matches, but he’s not going to be “the guy” with the world title doing the ****½ PPV matches every month."

Some WWE bits and pieces;

They want everyone on the main roster and the NXT roster to come up with names they can trademark for their finishing moves, rather than having the announcers use the traditional names for moves (since they can’t own traditional wrestling move names).

Bill Goldberg definitely has interest in doing WrestleMania 31 if the right deal can be made. That was also the deal last year and no deal was made, because he’s not coming cheap. He’s kept himself in shape, training almost daily at his Muay Thai gym, although he’ll be 48 by next year’s Mania.

Drake Weutz (Drake Younger) is scheduled to report to developmental imminently.

Regal was in Brazil this past weekend for WWE scouting for talent. The idea was to find some Brazilians with potential and bring them to the country because Brazil is an emerging economic market and is high on WWE’s list of places they think they can make money in. There is a real negative stigma in the culture of Brazil against pro wrestling from the 70s and I’m not sure about it, but have heard about it from a number of people. WWE did not do all that well when they debuted in Sao Paulo a few years back. Regal attended the FILL Double Impact promotion in Rio de Janeiro and the BWF Called To Fight group in Sao Paulo.

There was a directive that came in from above regarding the NXT staff about the treatment of some of Gerald Brisco’s wrestling recruits. There was the feeling that Brisco would sign guys with good looks, personality and skills, and then when they got to Orlando, certain people would try and run them off because they didn’t like shooters around.

A new developmental wrestler is Leyvonna Zakari Swaggart, 24, who did a women’s tryout camp earlier this year. She started this week. She’s from Oakland, but has lived for years in Southern California and worked as an actress on the reality TV show “Pageant vs. Playmate” where teams of pretty girls competed. She was on the Pageant team as she’d done beauty pageants in California when she was younger. She’s of Samoan descent and is either friends or a relative with the Usos. She went through the same tryout camp as former TNA wrestler Sarita (Dark Angel in CMLL) went through and to this point wasn’t signed from. Sarita has the look and experience, but the age could be a hindrance since she’s already 35

Oh yeah, I forgot you guys don't have a real racer.

Yeah...we got Need For Speed, but I'm sick of these cop/racer ones and want another Underground, dammit.

I wonder whatever happened to Engima and that Chriswok chap. They're probably friends now as they're both in the Mr Mister sub-stable.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Still pondering why that one guy in campus with a Magnus shirt was so filthy. It looked like bird shit was on it and he didn't even realize it. He was also sweating buckets because it's a thousand degrees here in SF. It's so jarring to see a wrestling shirt (let alone a TNA) shirt in the wild like that....

 

[Rapstah]

Yeah Heavy was undefeated and had our TV Title for quite some time.

Goddamn I miss it. Maybe I should...no! No...I shouldn't.

You promise to start it every month and it's a different promise every time like you don't remember the last time you promised you would start it.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Sunflower is internet famous now. He doesn't have time to book the shows that made him so.

A bit from the Observer about the NJPW/ROH stuff;/QUOTE]

Tanahashi should definitely relax. He'll never have another year as incredible as 2013. That's a heck of a lasting effect. Probably the best year anyone could have. I hope he takes care of himself.

Tanahashi is definitely one of the best.

This is even funny w/o context. there was a video too but i couldn't find it

 

[Deleted member 47027]

I need to check to make sure my streaming equipment still works. I boxed it up after the Avatar Rumble as we had that sound snafu beforehand. Concerned it doesn't work.

I'll check it out and see what's up, and see if I want to jump to 2k15 or stick with 2k14 and make our roster fresh.

Only jump to 2k15 if you have a next gen console and/or after we find out the limitations and bugs of it.

Yeah, I kind of wouldn't want to wait. But streaming on next-gen is so much easier and quicker, at the expense of control.

True. PS4/XB1 streaming is crazy easier. But we probably wont get 2k15 until what, October/November?
