Day of Reckoning 2 was hot fire, was just talking about it on SRK, still have my copy. AEW can't go wrong if they use that engine and update it

[scorp]

Well the video came out. 
 

And it sure as fuck isn’t the 2K engine 🤣

 

Has that HCTP impact with moves and almost All Stars body types. 
 

TK DOES IT AGAIN
 

I’m fucking HYPEEEE

I'm glad that All-stars body types are the standard for wrestling games now.  

 

If the netcode is good it might be worth a purchase then.  Just expect me to throw in all kinds of Corny refs if I get it on Arturo's stream!

And intergender matches. 
 

The director of No Mercy is definitely putting his mark on this game. 
 

I love the cartoony impact on slams.

"Fans like him? Give it to someone else." lol

The someone else is Orange Cassidy

 

I loved dor2 and aew game gives me those vibes. Hoping for a dor2 clone with the caw from the svr games.

 

I got some hctp vibes too.

 

I also hope the gm mode is exactly like gm mode from svr06

Updated No Mercy models which is basically All Stars with HCTP gameplay?
Don't let us down.

Jey Uso did this interview with Kayla on Instagram live. They need to put this on TV

Let the Leon Ruff era begin.

Kayla is a treasure 

 

Would go raw

lol Cornette with his comments on the Bucks/FTR match. 
 

He’s really pandering hard to his cult.

That feud was destroyed before it even started, Corny idea would work in a territory but tweaked it would have worked in this era. Would be way better than the shit we saw leading up to the match,  It was especially painful when Uncle Dave is trying his damndest to no criticize it and trying to justify it, FTR should have won the first encounter but YB fucked it up with the added stipulation.

[Hawkingbird]

The build to YB/FTR was complete and utter ass. Not having FTR be heels from the start was a big mistake. Not having Hangman align with FTR when it made all the sense in the world was a bad move. 

[iStu X]

NXT is pushing hard for another wargames match which I’m all about 

 

McAfee’s team vs. Nelson/Martin/Breezango vs. Undisputed Era

 

just don’t over book it like the last one

Because we're just going to ignore basic Hollywood slight of hand like practical effects, CGI and safe materials to simulate violence, compared to pro wrestling which doesn't have that budget or luxury in front of a live crowd.

Cody is right about there being a safe way to take chair shots to the head. Guys taking them unprotected is the real problem which was rampant in the attitude and ruthless aggression era. The Rock always swing for fences whenever he hit someone with a chair.

It's just not worth the risk, and his Cap comparison is absolutely ridiculous.  It's not the hill he should be dying on.

I agree it's not worth the risk. If someone is willing to risk it then they should their hands up to absorb the impact. The guy swing the chair not swinging hard helps too.

i get what hes saying and hes not totally wrong. sometimes a stunt is a stfu and take this shit. like going down stairs is gonna hurt...you try to not hurt as much or do as much damage. but its falling down fuckin stairs.

[Lantis]

WWE: "Don't try this at home."

 

Cody: 'HEY KIDS WHO WANTS TO LEARN HOW TO TAKE A CHAIRSHOT TO THE DOME??"

[scorp]

Maaan so happy my boy PAC is back. 
I remember wearing my Neville shirt to a house show several years back. I think I was the only one lol

 

And that Jade chick. Whew.

Bischoff confirmed he was interviewed for an episode about Brian Pillman. He would make for a great episode of darkside.

[Psychoblue]

We got our first casualty of the Anti-Khan's regime as WWE's chief media officer (the one who succeeds Barrios and Wilson's spots vacated earlier this year)

 

Zelina Vega made an Onlyfans earlier this week.  

 

Today, this was posted.

 

 

15 minutes later...

 

The E clearly does not give a fuck at whatever Andrew Yang is threatening.  

[Grimmjow316]

Time to see who else will follow.

[Hawkingbird]

The turnaround on that firing is so fucked up.

I suspect she knew she was gone when she posted it, she just did so before WWE yanked her twitter password.

 

I think Paige will be next.  Maybe Cesaro will finally walk away too.  After that I don't know, there weren't too many of them doing it to begin with to the extent Paige and Zelina were.

LOL

I think we all know that, at least here.  But you know how social media and especially FGC social media can get when it comes to this.  

[scorp]

She timed that tweet perfectly. 
They told her earlier and that tweet was the final justice.

I'm pretty sure creating an OF to bypass the third party policy is what got her canned. The timing of that tweet was icing.

We all know that Drake is a crazy religious MAGAt. 
 

But why would the WWE care? Linda was supporting the “voter fraud” scandal, they are all part of the same republican circle.

Because WWE themselves is publicly traded and that means the shareholders likely don't want that stink on them more than necessary.  That's what it means to "appease the shareholders" which WWE got demonized for when they did all of those big cuts and then announced record profits.  

 

Because let's be real: if Vince really controlled everything and didn't give a shit what anyone else thought, stockholder or not, you think we would have had all of this lip service about progressive women's wrestling or this huge push for ethnic diversity among their champions the last year?  Or would instead we have Shinsuke Nakamura as a rice paddy, Ali and Zayn as part of a Taliban tag team or an Aladdin spoof face group, Finn Balor being tied to Hornswoggle, and Asuka going full geisha?
