Aaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway what's your favourite era of The Undertaker?
I know at the time the IWC were clamoring for him to go back to the deadman gimmic but Biker Taker from 2002-2003 is when I was most entertained by the guy. Good promos, great matches, just total badass to the point that even though he was heeling it up big time you still kinda liked him. The constant strong booking of him rubbed people up the wrong way at the time but meh

Swim? He would probably walk there on the bottom of the ocean.

I said I'd post this every month because it is the funniest gif ever produced. But I haven't. August changes things though

I always remember Wrestle War on the Mega Drive being a pain in the ass. Really hard and next to impossible to pull off a high spot. If you managed to finish someone with a german suplex in my gang you were a god among men. Think I made it to the final guy once.
Worst has to be In Your House surely? Just so odd on so many levels
The wrestling game I've got the most playability out of was Raw vs Smackdown 2006 - great gameplay (it was a nice compromise between No Mercy and arcade-y), CAW mode was great, loads of legends, create a belt, create a PPV. I had some great great fueds, it was brill

PWInsider reports that WWE Hall of Famer Harley Race was injured in a fall on Thursday in St. Louis and will have to miss the final Mid-Atlantic Legends Fanfest in Charlotte this weekend. Race slipped and fell on his hip but still tried to make the drive from St. Louis to Charlotte. The pain was too much and Race had to turn around after about 35 miles. There's fear Race may have broken his hip but he will be examined soon.
Harley will forever be a man's man. But you're telling me someone couldn't pay for him to take a commuter flight so he didn't have to make probably a 12 hour drive each way?
He may be one of those people (John Madden, Tony Kournisher) who have fear of flying.
HAHAHAHA!
Harley Race. Fear.

I don't mind Abyss, he's a good marquee character and loved it when he was paired with Sinister Minister. As mentioned, his brief run as WMD for Prince Nana's stable in ROH was great, I remember liking his matches with Rhyno in TNA too
-
when Sting was the leader of the Main Event Mafia (a heel group) why wasn't he, like, full heel? They kept him tweener didn't they?
-
bleh, I was racking my brains trying to remember who else did that entrance and you've just reminded me it was Sabu

Friend of mine is the first job guy that Steiner tried the Screwdriver on. In the back he actually told him he was gonna try something that came to him in a dream the night before and that was it.
Oh god I hope that's true, I legit lol'd at the thought. I would've shit my pants if I was the job guy when he said that

When I saw the words 'Devitt' and 'Hannibal entrance' and caught a brief glimpse of the khaki jacket, I fully expected some kind of A-Team thing.
Dis.A.Point.Ment
If I was his opponent, the moment I saw he was in a straight jacket I'd just jump on him and beat him mercilessly. Some wrestlers don't think logically at all when laying matches out

is Chono retired now? I'm completely out of touch with puro from the point Misawa died
-
I couldn't play as Renegade, I have this odd psychological problem whereby I can't make decisions in a game I wouldn't make in real life so I always try to make the right choice and placate people as much as possible for the greater good
-
I thought he had a great look and his work was solid enough without showing much of anything. Wasn't he HBK's nephew or something?
-
Is 'Big Sexy' (and its rare addition 'Big Sexy the Giant Killer') the greatest nickname ever in wrestling? I would say yes
-
I think that's the stooge gimmick I was trying to remember. He was doing comedy and character stuff and actually showing some charisma
-
what the hell is going on there?!
-
wasn't there a period of time where he was a cowardly stooge character? Was he in the Main Event Mafia at the time? I've never actively watched TNA but I remember that was one of the few times where I thought 'maybe he has some charisma after all...'
-
I honestly never got this guy. Even when he the indie wonderkid he just never stood out to me or felt that special when compared to Joe, Punk, Danielson, Daniels, Low Ki etc

I'd kinda like to see the sequel begin from the point the grandad finishes telling his grandson Shepherd's story (from the end of ME3). We had no idea how far in the future that was but it'd be a seamless passing of the torch moment to link the two. Iunno, maybe you play as the grandkid and the story was what inspired you to start exploring etc etc. I'm just riffing here.
Going the Firefly route would also be a nice change of pace rather than going for the epic scope of the original trilogy again
-
if you want optimum grumpy Tenryu I'd check out some of his matches against Kobashi in NOAH from 2004/5
-
Two things that are kinda inter-related here so bear with me.
Ric Flair can entertain me like nobody's business BUT I think when his first DVD set came out and Youtube started taking off it really overexposed him as... not neccesarily a one trick pony but as having routinely formulaic matches. A fucking great formula but after a while it started to feel like "if you've seen one, you've seen them all." He's the ultimate territory wrestler because, as I said, it's a great fucking formula if you're going to a different town every night but if I'm sat watching a block of Flair matches on TV it sours it.
Bockwinkle on the other hand, I'd heard the name due to being into my history but had never ever even had the chance to see him wrestle. Again, when Youtube started taking off more and more of his matches became available and it was like a revelation. He is legit one of the most intricate wrestlers I've ever watched, so invested in the minutae of a match. And I don't think it has overexposed him because no one match was ever the same with him. Bockwinkle is the wrestling equivalent to water - he's fluid and you can put him in anything and he'll adapt. You guys hit it on the head saying if he'd had a better quality of opponent/had decided to run with the NWA he'd probably be everyone's answer as #1 in this thread.

If TNA could somehow manage to move their operation over here to the UK and convince their top stars to emmigrate they could keep going and be (relatively) successful. I can only assume the fact they're on freeview here is the reason they draw a big crowd
-
That's a thing of beauty. I recon a piledriver like that would get over as instant death in the WWE now

Bret Hart. His match with Mr. Perfect at SummerSlam 91 was the first time I appreciated wrestling as something more than good guys vs bad guys. He kept me believing long after I knew it wasn't all on the up and up. I mean sure it's not really real but...Bret is limping like his ankle is broken. Nobody is that good an actor! Right? Right Dad? Right?
I've had an oddball group of favorites over the years (Warrior, Bret, Dlo Brown, Edge, my boy D Bry) but nobody has topped Bret.
Bret Hart for pretty much the same reasons. I got into wrestling with Wrestlemania VII and of course Hulk Hogan was my initial fave but it was that match where Bret became my favourite because it was so different to everything else going on. He is the perfect all-rounder IMO. FWIW my top 5 is
1) Bret Hart
2) Ric Flair
3) Barry Windham
4) Sting
5) Jake Roberts

Fellas, has there ever been any decent espionage games? I seem to remember In Cold Blood on the PS way back when being okay, and there was Alpha Protocol more recently which was awful. After that I'm kinda drawing a blank
