I honestly don't understand how the Sonic franchise is still going on. The games have been garbage for ages.

Spoiler

By ages, I mean Sonic was never really that good in the first place and was only elevated because of Sega's marketing to make him seem like the Mario rival. The Genesis Sonic games were alright but they weren't Mario 3 or Mario World

Also during Nitro, a really strange thing happened with Brian Pillman that may finally lead to the end of him in WCW. During a tag match, Pillman and Sullivan stopped selling for each other and eventually tagged out. When they got back in, the match completely fell apart as the two seemed to be shooting on each other. At one point, Sullivan went to gouge Pillman's eyes when Arn Anderson jumped in to separate it, shouting "Not the eye!" Pillman kept not selling things and eventually walked out on the match. Backstage afterward, Pillman and Sullivan reportedly had words, with Pillman complaining that Sullivan wasn't selling for him. Pillman has been dangerously close to getting fired for weeks now for his erratic behavior.

There was an incident at the hotel in Orlando where all the WCW wrestlers were staying, when a man held a woman hostage in a hotel room and later threw her out and barricaded himself in. The SWAT teams showed up and evacuated the entire hotel, including many of the wrestlers. They eventually tear gassed the guy out. What's notable about the incident is that Brian Pillman (of course) stayed in character outside the hotel the whole time and kept trying to get back in so he could apprehend the suspect himself. After police got the guy and brought him out, Pillman kept trying to get close and was giving the guy the 4-finger Four Horseman signal as they put him in the police car.

Pillman pls.

The same can be said for Mario.

 

[Sephzilla]

The same can be said for Mario.

Mario 3, Mario World, and Mario 64 are three of the best platformers ever made, so no.

The Sonic Cycle is vicious:

But the fanbase is as masochistic as WWE fans.

In your mind, maybe. But they're not fun. Sonic was fun.

You mean one of the most consistently innovative and high quality series in all of video games? Sure, bud..........................................

those cards came out in 1997. How do I know?

I was a dumb college kid and got roped into one (Sting).

:O

 

[Bluekaveli]

So apparently they're going to debut new tag belts. They'll be the same but have the dumb side plate gimmicks.

People like Zach.

You're right. People do like Zach.

So am I the only hyped for Sonic Forces? Been a big fan of the Sonic franchise, even after 06 made me go off the series for a bit. I don't mind original the character do not steal being added as I like the gameplay shown so far. I never found the friends annoying (apart from Charmy and Big), just the way they played was annoying (mainly talking about the 3D games here). I guess the problem with Sonic is that since they've constantly changed up the gameplay style from game to game, you won'the please everyone as you got subsets of fans liking one style and hating another. I don't get the "Sonic should die, he'said been shit forever" arguement as there have been good sonic games released around the bad one (colours, generations and the handheld ones like rush being some of my recent favourites).

Also the music in the Sonic games are some of the best in the business. Whenever a Sonic game is bad, at least the music is holding up their end.

Sounds like someone wants to challenge for the World's Wrongest Man title at the next GWF.

Because, I do love my fakesports.

How about Sonic fan hate in a gaming thread?

They're all NERDS no matter how you slice it

I've never been able to wrap my head around Sonic either. The only ones I enjoyed were Colors and Generations and I still think Colors is a classic, actually.

Tag belts having the side plates is eh but get that money WWE.

Think of all the Cesaro marks who will buy his plates to put in the world title to believe in.

Don't make me shoot regarding sonic


Those genesis games are fucking classics

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

Sonic is one of my favourite gaming franchises. Sonic Forces looks like utter garbage. The Mega Drive games are underrated GOAT tier games(especially 3&K which is straight up the best 16 bit platformer fight me) and Sonic Mania will restore the series to glory. Sonic Team are probably beyond help at this point though. Fucking fire Sonic Team already Sega.

No, Dean Ambrose would imply that Sonic has never been over and is constantly underperforming. Sonic had a good first run, and even has flashes of it's greatness every now and then, but for the most part runs somewhere between mediocre and ok. Sonic is Seth Rollins.

I'd die from laughter if that happened.

 

[Caderfix]

Sonic was pretty good on the genesis, after that I only enjoyed Generations and the Kart games.

If Sonic is Seth Rollins, then what is Roman Reigns? Assassin's Creed?

Ziggler did wear those "dont tread on me" tights

A mess.

Ziggler with the American flag tights beating on Apollo and Kalisto...even Sin Cara.

And at one point he had Big E Langston and AJ Lee as his underlings.
