Why isnt Jay Lethal in WWE yet?

Dude is too good for the indies.

I agree. With his talent and charisma, he'd be NXT Champ in like a year.

You guys could post some very antiquated and not even funny anymore Cara botch jpegs.

I jumped the gun on the WWE '13 thread. I don't go to gaming side often and forgot that OTs are for a week out. I just looked over the WWE '12 thread and it was posted less than a week away so I must have forgot that fact in my year's absence of making OTs. It will be unlocked closer to release.

Your friendly GM,

Way to go, sandman!

 

[Kaladin]

The thread was good though.

Keyser you can't demand respect, you have to earn it!! That's what John Cena told me.

“@ y dont u put sum weight on.u seriously do not luk like u can bust a grape 2 save ur life.at least luk tuf” I weep for the future.

It's kind of funny how he moans about fans complaining about his weight, yet the documentary on his DVD made a big thing of him getting into shape and going vegetarian at the start of the year...

I think he's moaning more about the fan's spelling.

Interesting that he should post that on the day he was relieved of his booking duties.

Did he have to relinquish his gun and his badge?

I think cornette misses the point of the criticisms of RoH entirely and blows most of them off. Glad hes gone

 

[Toki767]

So they hit the panic button and are bringing Vince back to RAW tonight? Wonder what he's going to do. Other than probably force Punk to face Cena at Hell in a Cell.

 

[British Monsoon]

Man, I forget sometimes, but Jack Evans was nuts;

Interesting that he should post that on the day he was relieved of his booking duties.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if he still had a lot of input, but was 'removed' from view because he was becoming a scape goat for ROH's problems (lots of people blaming Cornette and likening ROH to 'Smoky Mountain of Honor').

More on Heyman's involvement in WWE '13......and this has sold me on the game 100%:

Given his legacy, it makes perfect sense that THQ would turn to Heyman to help adapt Attitude Era’s storylines into WWE ’13. On top of that, the former head of ECW, and current WWE on-air personality, helped write and guide some of the 200-plus new storylines that are being incorporated into the endless simulation that is Universe Mode.


“I am a believer that interactivity is the future,” Heyman told IGN, emphasizing his enthusiasm for WWE '13. “The more the gamer can control the environment, and choose which way they can take the experience, the more cutting edge your product will be.” Heyman noted his efforts to recreate the Attitude Era focused mostly on taking the storylines from over a decade ago and finding ways to present them with more modern sensibilities.

“It’d be what an Attitude Era fan would relate to but what a modern day fan would understand is current and not just nostalgia,” Heyman said. “If you just come back and recreate from 15 years ago, you’re not really offering much. If you present the Attitude Era as a modern day concept, then you’re doing something that’s new.” Given that he effectively created the blueprints for what WWE did back then, Heyman said stepping into this role was easy. “You know if McDonald’s is making Chicken McNuggets, and another company comes out with a nugget... you know the formula being used!”

Heyman’s efforts with Universe Mode focused on finding broad story ideas that gamers will then be able to manipulate to their hearts’ desires, placing an emphasis on the interactive nature of WWE '13. While he noted that writing for a game is easier than writing for television, Heyman said his fundamental approach here was the same as it always was.

“I’ve always found that what wrestling fans - or boxing or UFC or whomever - relate to is simply ‘Who are these people? Why are they fighting? Why should I care to pay to see it happen?’” Heyman said. “The same applies to video games. It’s the very same thing. The scenarios may be different. The personas may be different. But the concept remains the same.”

Basically WWE13 sounds great in concepts and content, but still highly likely to be woefully lacking in gameplay.
Such a pain, it really is, all this content in a game using modern No Mercy style gameplay would be the wrestling game of the forever.
Still it's nice news anyway, if anything such things keep it on my radar.

I've played through shitty games for good content before.....I'm looking at you Enter The Matrix.

Are you really going to compare wwe 13 to Enter the Matrix! Man that game was absolute shit.

 

[Kaladin]

The gameplay was shit, but you got to see some sequences filmed for the game only. I'm just saying, I've played through shit to see good content before. I personally liked the basic gameplay of WWE '12. The only thing I really had a problem with was the story mode where you never got to finish a match, you were always fighting to light up a queue for some movie to play.

 

[Carnby]

Playing through WWE 13 for Hayman's story lines is called being a mark.

 

[Laserfrog]

Enter the matrix had that wonky two player mode that didn't even work properly. I love that game it's completely broken and that's why it's so good.

 

[FallingEdge]

I'm buying WWE 13. I'm a sucker for this type of shit.

Yes, I'm a mark for Heyman. I will admit that every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Dude is too good for the indies.

He would be named Jason Jones or some random, dumb name, and he would exchange wins with Jinder Mahal and be a squash dummy to a steroid-looking heel they'll push later.

 

[bean breath]

Everybody has speculated as to what might be on Punk's shirt.

Is it a dinosaur? Is it a rabbit? Balloons?

Is it the playmate of the month? Heh, who knows.

Well, It sounds to me right now the speculating is over!

WHOA! Stand back!

I think slightconfuse is posting the link!

OH There it is!! What is it?!?!

OH MY GOD

What? What in the world is this?!

Take a look at it ladies and gentlemen, feathers, a beak...



Don't tell me Punk's shirt is the Gobbledy Gooker!?

You want me to what? You want me to buy and wear you?!

 

[FallingEdge]

Maybe it will look better in person but as of right now, I will pass.

I'm sure bootaaay holds that.

 

[atomsk]

Reports from tonight's RAW are that Vince McMahon has not been in a good mood today. This led to head RAW writer Brian Gewirtz being removed from his job after more than 10 years. Gewirtz is still working as a consultant.

Vince reportedly told the producers he wants results or resignations. Everyone is said to be scared for their jobs. We hope to have more soon.

uhhhhhh

 

[Kyoufu]

Good. Fire your shit writers and find someone that knows wtf he's doing.

 

[Kaladin]

I think djsandman is going to set a record for hours of wrestling watched in one day.

Also, I'm pretty sure I saw 9 hours of live wrestling in one day one Wrestlemania weekend.

 

[billy beane]

I'm sure bootaaay holds that.

Torture porn doesn't count as wrestling.

uhhhhhh

This reminds me of that Raw in 97 that Vince flipped out over and put Russo in charge.

Time to bring back Russo.

 

[FallingEdge]

uhhhhhh

well damn.

also, Jack Evans is fucking crazy. I damn near shit myself when I saw one of his matches for the first time.

 

[BillRiccio]

Well these make sense now

@CrankyVince
