Hey now, the proper term for those games is Storyteller, not Dungeon Master!

/nerdmodeoff
...whatever! Yeah, I got a lot of learning to do still. Grabbed all those VTM books from that humble deal. Totally worth having.

Roman is a super good looking dude and is a fantastic worker by 80s standards. What are you people smoking?
Nobody in the Hulkamania age gives a shit how much of a great worker you are. Bad News Brown was a great worker, Ronnie Garvin was a great worker, and they weren't headlining Wrestlemania.

Rick Martel was a better worker and looked better than Roman. And he was a midcarder.

I finally finished 'The Guide to Classic Graphic Adventutes.' 750+ pages about adventures games. Now what will I do during bathroom breaks?

I liked that book. Inspired me to grab a bunch of games from GOG that I missed when they were in their heyday.

Phantasmagoria 2 is totally worth playing. Very good and weird and oh so 90s

Start designing a wrestling graphic adventure game, duh.

What convoluted item puzzles will you come up with?
 
I know I've seen them wrassle, like, three times. They're always in between a three- and four-star match on the Ham Meltz Scale.
I remember the very first wrasslin' forum I was on (back in 2001!), this one guy was obsessed with RVD based solely on that aforementioned match with Jerry Lynn.

God, I was 9 back then. I'm sure if I looked at my posts back then, I'd want to jump out of a window in embarrassment.

except most filler has fan service the fans want.

Who the fuck wants see Ziggler or Miz?

Maybe autumn would be a great time for an off-season.

I've been saying for a while that the time frame between Survivor Series and Royal Rumble should be their off season. Let the wrestlers go be with their families for the holidays, let everyone rest and get healthy, and open up the new year with the second biggest PPV of the year.
 
Just saw Alvarez's comments about Reigns, TNA and Hardy. I feel like if you can't see why one thing is getting "over" versus the other you're either an idiot or purposely stirring shit up.

Also, wrestling revelation.

For all the shit it got, I realized today that Hollywood Hogan's WCW title reign(The Hog Wild title reign) is my favorite title reign of all time. It built up a new hero every month, it showed how important the title was because of how hard Hollywood clung to it and abused the rules to keep it, and it established the man with the chokehold on professional wrestling in the 80s as the final boss of pro wrestling in the 90s.

I'd rather the title meant something than making sure all my faves get the belt. And there were tons of guys in WCW I would have wanted to have the belt, but Hogan was perfect for the position. The only real major blemish is the Sting thing. Second place would probably be Kobashi's reign.

Combine panties with lipstick and glitter to make a wrassle mask and conceal your identity from the crooked promoter.

I have no idea, but I would want it to be way better than this off the cuff idea

You have to get all the materials for a CZW show in the early 2000s. It's perfect.

Rick Martel was better looking than Roman in magical fantasyland.

Then again, you guys are all about slobbering over Rick Rude's porno-mustache so I expect you'll all disagree heavily.

could never
I really really hope Angle os the next videogame star, just wanna see the guy do a small programme and get into the HOF. He deserves to be there.

Also hearing his theme hit with that crowd reaction would be glorious.
 
BTW I got to see the place Landig had that match where he jumped from a roof.

Its the back of a tile store.

Nj wrasslin tours. "If you look to your right, this is the tile store where Zandig dropped Joey Janela off the roof into the back of a Dodge Ram. Up the block we'll see where Zandig dropped Nick Mondo off the roof onto some tables and glass."

Hogan may have been the wrestling final boss of the 90s, but Mr. McMahon will always be the greatest heel of the 90s to me. There is nothing he wouldn't stoop to and he was always subject to comeuppance, yet as often as he'd get his, it never hurt his character.

You're right. But Hogan's final boss reign really should have ended at the hands of Sting.

dude if you love roman so much, why don't you marry him etc

I would if I could but 1) I'm married and straight, and 2) I'm pretty sure Roman isn't interested in overweight wrestling fans

I'm still surprised there isn't a Game Dev Story equivalent for booking a wrestling promotion.

You'd think it would've happened by now, yeah. Just swap out the variables into a wrassle template.

Development team = wrestlers
Bug-testing = botches
Games = PPVs
Systems = Brands
Industry Events = mainstream TV coverage

But if anyone other than Kairosoft did it, people would go "hey bullshit, you just took game dev story and swapped the variables into a wrassle template"

I would if I could but 1) I'm married and straight, and 2) I'm pretty sure Roman isn't interested in overweight wrestling fans

So if both 1 and 2 were different, and you were given the choice of Roman, The Model, or Rick Rude, you're gonna go with Roman?*

*in this scenario Rude is still alive

[edit - 90 minutes and this overwatch thing still isn't done. I guess 15kb/sec is slow, I have no idea. But I gotta go to sleep, damn technology.]

Only reason Reigns isn't getting over is purely because they're holding the (no pun) reigns on the guy. Let him be him and he'll be good. Let him do what he wants and turn him heel because we all know he wants to. The moment you do that, Reigns will probably be the coolest guy on the roster regardless of who's on it or at least he'll be for the next 6 months. Simple concept. Look at the Usos, they went heel and they're far better. Once you let Reigns go you've got money.

Heel Reigns will be better than current Reigns.
Heel Ambrose will be better than current Ambrose.

It almost needs to be a requirement for guys to go heel every few years. A requirement.

Late 1997 WWF....

Waiting for NOD Rocky Maivia to become The People's Champ

Waiting for Austin vs McMahon to start

Waiting for Degeneration X to kick it into high gear....oh well, at least their early stuff is entertaining. Why did Rick Rude suddenly get dropped as their manager?

He very quickly jumped to WCW. So quick that, because Raw was on a week old tape delay, Rude technically appeared both on Raw and Nitro on the same night.

He wasn't on a contract and he got pissed about how they did Bret.

Despite being DX's manager, I don't think he ever liked Shawn. I know he was closer with Scott and Kevin than Shawn

That makes sense. He kinda worked as Shawn's insurance policy, but when DX added Triple H and Chyna, you didn't need Rude in that capacity. He could have gone on as a hitman for hire though.
