Wrestlemania 2000 was the best PPV to date until X7. DM, you should be proud you got to relive the spectacle!

Everything that was wrong and shitty about the Attitude Era, all wrapped up in a 4 hour long PPV.
Hahaha. Have you guys seen these entrance interruptions in 2k16?

Is it always like that?? Waiting for your opponent to get in the ring and then you run the entire ramp to attack??

I suppose in this case it's a good thing the stamina system isn't still a thing, if this were SDvsRaw06 I think you'd get gassed halfway down the ramp.
These 2K wrestling games are all based on stamina. The run-in looks so weird. Maybe it would look better if the camera was facing the 'tron.
That would be so good.

I figured it probably still existed in some form, I should amend that to "the older stamina systems".
And it was always better having the camera facing the tron, I'd sooner see the stage than the dodgy looking mess that is the audience.
Or sooner!
I was trying to remember this gif when I made the post but for some reason my mind kept jumping to Mark Henry.
Probably because I was just thinking of this.
holy fuck that's awesome
God I wish that game were available digitally.
I'd buy Revenge, WrestleMania 2000, AND No Mercy.
Maybe even World Tour.

I want to say by virtue of the triangle ladder match alone it might be slightly better, only slightly mind you.
Plus Foley leaping into the side of the announce table never gets old.

Just been to see Jack Off Jill at the Ballroom, great show. 100% Would do again if they weren't finishing up.
I'm so used to being there for PROGRESS, it was very disorienting not having a ring on the floor!

Not only that but you get to have garbage "The Authority" storylines in NXT as well. Might as well just call it RAW Jr.

Guess they can't see him.
RAW on USA is super important right now.
Because of rights fees, WWE will get tons of money this year, next year, and for most of 2017 and then a new deal is negotiated. You won't see RAW on the network live ever, because if it came to that, the product would drastically change.
But this TV deal isn't all that great even though the short term is great (the money). Three hours is to much for the casual fun every Monday. And then you are asking them to watch two hours of Smackdown, an hour of Superstars and an hour of Main Event. 7 hours of WWE on top of their PPV stuff each four weeks. But if we just focus on RAW, which is their biggest show, there needs to be some change. Going two hours, or an hour and a half, would be great. And that's just one fix... there's several fixes they can do.
But RAW being LIVE on the network? Not right now. And that's because of rights fees from USA. Now when their deal expires in 2017, its a different story.
Children programming? We are still waiting for that Camp WWE cartoon to show up on the network. Supposedly 'Slam City' did good in the children demo. But Camp WWE probably won't come out for a while since Hogan was a big part of that in the cartoon, brotherjackdude.
WWE has tons of youtube clips after each show so that's good. They really need to bring that over to the network side of things too...

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
My favorite part of the Cesaro swing is when it goes about 20 seconds too long and then there's no ending he just drops them.
100000x worse.

Wow the animation before he hits the AA he looks like hes about to start speed skating
Ugh. You as a video game dev have been making this game since late 90s and you still can't nail atmosphere? A small arena like that and you have it like if there was 16k people there? God dammit.

That's not even possible, WM15 is like a 2 star show at the very very best.
Is WM2000 in the MINUS FIVE STARS realm?

Can't wait till the Cubs get swept today. CM Punk will be made fun of and respond angrily to some mark.

Heheh, I had both the YES YES YES and Yes Movement shirts and would get people doing YES chants at me when I went out in them. It was great fun.
They got ruined in the wash though.

Close on the wrestlers, camera facing the entrance ramp, slightly above ring apron level is the ideal gameplay camera angle for 3d wrestling games
Everything at this angle naturally draws your eyes to the wrestlers in the ring.
Nowadays:
It's too cluttered, the wrestlers don't stand out, and your eyes go elsewhere. It looks off and bland.
Guess they can't see him.
Seriously, couldn't anyone point out how bad this makes the arena look?

Why? What's up?

I wonder if they have any direction to placing game cameras. Maybe this is the universal angle regardless of the stage. Stupid if so. A live camera man would never shoot that and make everything look empty and cheap, they'd stay right on the face or mid shot framing it with the plants.
Oh my god. I just remembered that I finished it while cooking last night. I was clearly only half-listening at that point. I remembered because her closing thoughts were just rambling, contradictory nonsense.
That aside, her voice is incredibly grating to listen to and she seems vapid. I hate her.
Anyway, I wasn't really watching then, I guess. What did Jackie Gayda do? Was she good?

What extra sucks is that if it's anything like the previous entries in regards to entrance creation, you're free to set your own camera cues and then the game will randomly just ignore them anyway.

Yo, Rock Band 4 is the most carny thing in freaking history. Even they can't figure out how their damn exports work
Ryan Shamrock is not a great get for a podcast guest. Can't speak for Jackie but looking her up she didn't do much and married that guy in the tag team that isn't Shelton.
Ross's podcast is easily the most unbearable of all wrestling podcasts. Which is ironic given that he is the most experienced broadcaster in the wrestling world putting out a podcast.

Neither are AJ, but one is CM Punk.
