October Wrasslin' |OT| I'm seein' double here...
- Thread starter Zach
- Start date
These games look like absolute shit. Completely lifeless.
God, I wish EA had ended up with the IP. WWE by the EA UFC team would've been great. Some of the WWE All Stars guys worked on those games!
At least the big guys look big now
I remember Mark Henry looking like a scaled down giant in one of the games and Big Show looking disproportionately huge

I got a fun question/game:
Build a stable (lets go with 6 total) out of wrestlers who were not "the guy" or considered top 20/30 wrestlers. Think guys like Val Venis, D-Lo, Bagwell, Ahmed, etc and less guys like Owen, Mankind, Taker, Arn, Pillman, etc.

Dan Spivey
Johnny Ace
Dan Kroffat
Doug Furnas
Joe Malenko
The Patriot
AJPW 90's gaijins! Spivey's the lead, teams with Ace as a heavyweight tag, Can-Ams are the Jr. tag, Malenko the Jr. singles guy and The Patriot eats the pinfalls, brother.

Im 50/50 on allowing Rude since I feel like he was a pretty big star for WCW in that 92/93 period but he did never get the mains
Not surprised you went all AJPW

80 for me on amazon. Maybe I got it on discount.

I have been buying these games for years...
And I have never gotten any of these kids of glitches.

I took "considered top 20/30 wrestlers" to be "considered by the company they were in as top 20/30 wrestlers"
Like yeah, Christian was WWECW champ, but lol if you think Vince ever considered Mr. "Blue Dot" in even the top 40 people he employed at a given time.
Good job with that WWE 2K18 OT, Hansey
At this rate the OT will be better received than the game, thanks.
It unlocks in 4 hours. I should work on getting drunk.
Not even when Christian was WHC?

Yeah, this Zachary. Guys who weren't top of the tier in terms of pop culture, business impact, etc but should have been so much more. Christina definitely qualifies there.
Earthquake is so underrated
Now that I'm thinking about Rude and Razor, I'm kind of realizing that we never get people like them anymore. Wrestlers who were never really big in the main event / world championship scene for a sustained period of time but are considered legends anyway. Rude, DiBiase, Piper, Razor, Jake The Snake, Owen Hart, & Mr Perfect all never touched the WWF Championship and are still as memorable to wrestling fans in the same way people view Hart, Savage, etc, were.

R-truth (who says typical crazy R-Truth stuff but thinks he's sane)
Heath Slater (who always mentions his kids and how much he needs this job no matter what the conversation is)
Rhyno (doesn't talk, just keeps to himself and eats cheese crackers)
Noam Dar (just being a creepy pervert)
All led by Alicia Fox (at max craziness)
- Rick Rude was on Live with Regis and Kathie Lee!
- My coworker Christina?
- Earthquake was great for a year or two.

Earthquake was wasted talent and you know it.

That time he was treated as a joke with a meme catchphrase (#OneMoreMatch) and had a transitional reign with the title he only won after getting his ass kicked so hard he won by DQ? Yeah, gonna say I really doubt that was something Vince did because he genuinely thought he was a star

Mr Perfect is probably my #1 on this list
For that year or two? Probz. He should've maybe possibly gone over Hogan, duuude.
More like Mr. Not-Really-That-Good, amirigh?
Midcard doesn't exist anymore.

I only need three
It's probably either Piper or Roberts for me. It boggles my fucking mind that Jake Roberts never held any championship in WWE

WWE's just jealous they didn't think of TNA Curt Hennig's theme
WWE Mr Perfect + TNA Curt Hennig's entrance music = greatest wrestler of all time

Two people with Test is something I didn't expect
No way Shamrock is allowed, dude was definitely getting some top tier level story stuff.
Ehhhhhh, you can have him

Part of that is because we don't have the same dominant champions that we used to, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Another part is that with so much wrestling on TV and so many PPVs, the world title scene can become stale a lot more quickly, so they need to pump in new blood more often.

Just because you choose to ignore documented evidence doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

IC and mid-card doesn't mean squat, but I feel like Miz could fit that group. Yeah, he touched the WHC belt but I don't that ever got him into the same status as a Hart or Savage with the fans.
Miz is probably the best "mid card" star WWE has produced in ages.
Wait. Let's change this up a bit for cogency's sake:
Dan Severn
Ice Train
Doug Furnas
Norman Smiley
Ricky Steiner
Yeah!

Rude's one of those guys that, while obviously great, doesn't really have a very wide body of work. Even Owen's more prolific in that regard.

I'm surprised none of you jokers shopped the Cena Nuff edition of WWE2K to say #5 Years instead of 15 years
