I just noticed this but Braun Strowman is the best thing to happen to the Wyatt Family. He's such a fucking monster but he can actually move his body unlike Kane and Beeg. The Wyatts feel like an actual threat of a stable instead of being Bray and his two henchmen.
That's a goddamn mastodon right there.
Too bad its piss dull to watch him in the ring
Triangle choke bearhug? Grab and throw? Knee to gut? He knows how to stomp and look scary when moving towards folks, but once he gets there he doesn't have much to excite the crowd. Its pretty well all up to the opponent to sell for him, and his gimmick is a hand me down of bearded backwoods cult follower. He's more a prop to Wyatt than his own thing and thats kind of a waste.
Honestly with Kane and Taker both being so over the hill at their age, they need guys like Braun Strowman, but they need better persona's more. I'd love for the guy to get time to train up with dude's like Taker and Kane in the back on how to handle a big guy persona and use his size to show impactful moves. You can't just punch or kick. With height like his he should be doing more Vertical oriented or lift moves. Its nice he does powerslams and the occassional press slam but the guy could really stand to throw in some gutwrench moves, some deadlifts off the ground, some release moves, some pancake slams, heck even a nice old powerbomb would be great.
He's a giant. He can move like one but he can't wrestle like one yet. Honestly if the dude had showed up and just done another Taker/Kane style gimmick it would have been better for him. He could have played off vets, used their moves, and been built in a gimmick that needs someone to take it over at this point and prepped for it by its originators. In other words i'd have gone full Tiger Mask with the Taker/Kane genre of characters and handed off the thing to this guy and prepped him for the role for a year instead of just throwing him in with Wyatt. Damn crowd is silent during these matches...

I'm just bitter about the game in general, played a few hours on the beta last week and it just doesn't feel right to me - I'll probably get used to it, but 3s remains the king as far as I can see.
It's kind of crazy to me that Undertaker had his best year in the ring back in 2007. It seemed like everything came together at that time; his experience, his athleticism, and just knowing how to put on a good match. He also looked the best he ever had in his entire career.
Clearly, it's all thanks to Brotista bringing out the best in him.
Alicia Fox shaved her head into a mohawk...
She is probably the most fashion model like of all the divas I think. Just really interesting to look at.
Was that creepy.
I have a bad feeling that if they weren't going to turn Roman post Mania they never were going to do it.
I still really hope for an angle like this though. It sets up babyface Rollins vs HHH as well.
For a country that has the European HQ for Google, Facebook, Amazon, Intel, Microsoft and others, internet outside the centre of Dublin is super spotty.
With a username like Mahonay you can be an honorary internet Irish person.

3S is still the bottom tier of SF games along side 4.
V is looking to be real promising and back to greatness.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I have no idea whether Strongman can work because all he does is throw people away from him and no-sell shit. That's mostly just booking.

Huh, Ric Flair is going to be the subject of a 30 for 30 documentary. It could be a short, like the one on the Von Erichs.
This would be so over today
Needs to be at least 1 hour long. Flair's life IS wrasslin
for me it was the opposite, i went in the beta thinking it's gonna be a sf IV clone, but i was pleasantly surprised by the gameplay. as for 3rd strike, i am not a fan but ocasionally i still play it even though i suck at it because i like them 2d grafix and the soundtrack is great

Nope, 2 GB ipad still ain't enough for this thread on 100. Maybe the pro could work.
3S fans are the biggest crybaby marks in the entire video game universe. They'll never accept that the reason 2D fighters nearly died off was that no one cared for the new generation of talent and that everyone preferred the WCW like old fogies who appeared in SF IV.
But, but, godly spritework and fun systems. Doesn't excuse the awful sales, jack.
It'll be more about his divorces and money problems, watch.
I think you meant to say Shenmue fans. They pissed and moaned for a decade to get a part 3, then they beat everyone over the head with the kickstarter, then when the first screens come up they're all "this isn't up to my expectations."

You can watch the prequel to Flair's 30 for 30 in the 30 for 30 episode "Broke"
That is a good goddamn counter. I'd say it's close. A lot of Shenmue 3 fans are goddamned bandwagoners that have never played the absolute turd that is Shenmue.
i wouldn't put it past WWE creative to put something out like this today

I played Forklift Simulator when it came out.
It accurately showed what having a job and performing repetitive tasks is like.

Considering a Roomba 650. And Wrasslegaffers own one? Thoughts? Thinking of snagging a refurb by manufacturer for $299.
It's not even a fun chore simulator.
Plus for a game derived from the idea of Virtua Fighter RPG it takes a fucking dog age to get into a fight in Shenmue 1.

You're both wrong, it's Megaman fans
"b-b-b-but Capcom killed Megaman"
He's had like a billion games.

Legends fans in particular are mopey sad sacks.
I got 9 and 10, I'm still riding that wave of happiness years later.

C'mon man don't be like that. When it came out it was so different than anything before it, and it was so ambitious.
It was like Dragon's lair, a really bad kung fu movie dub, and animal crossing had a frankenstein baby.

Nashvember?
Good. Nash was a trailblazer. Here he is as Proto-Sheamus.
Good. Nash was a trailblazer. Here he is as Proto-Sheamus.
All I remember from it:
- walk around a house and look in drawers
- go buy capsule toys
- there's a cat in a box
- go knock on doors of people who all conveniently had very similar last names, trying to find someone
- you could go to an arcade and play an actual good Yu Suzuki game.
When GameFan's blurb said "Shenmue = Japanese for 'boring'" they were right on.
The WrassleGAF brand is bigger than any name you care to attach to it so the newest, hottest thread from the brand will draw higher ratings no doubt. #CorporateEra
That's about as long of a match as he should work.
You better bolieve it.

I've been burning through Lucha Underground and it's as good as everyone said. You can't be mad at WWE when such a great promotion like that exists. Any word on a video game? Make it happen.

Nash sucks, an thassa' shoot. I thought it was a running joke around here where people say they want this every November, but nobody really does.
^^^^^Oh, yea. Pentagon Jr. rocks.
