Web Conn Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 On the latest BTE Cima expressed his interest in a match with Christopher Daniels. I know they have a card to fill at the end of the month but I’d like to see them build that one for All Out. The story of two long time friends with parallel careers on different sides of the globes having a match to see who the better one is would play out crazy o front of that Chicago crowd where everyone knows both men’s careers fairly well.

Niners Fan in CT Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 2 hours ago, matt925 said: Just because I remember off the top of my head, summerslam 2013 did 190k buys. That was a big disappointment, but still that’s not a ton more buys. I think that's true but I'm talking about the shows like battleground that were doing slightly above 100k. We have to keep in mind this is a promotion that just started it's a good starting point for them for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custos Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) The Observer also notes that one of the most striking takeaways from the PPV numbers is the lack of crossover between those ordering WWE PPVs on TV (those few who still do) and those who ordered DoN on PPV. Only 2-3% of those WWE buyers also ordered DoN. Even if you take into account that PPV buyers (as opposed to Network watchers) may be more set in their ways or less aware of the wider wrestling scene, that still suggests a severe lack of penetration into the WWE fan base for the debut show. Edit to add: the comparison was specifically against those 15,700 folks who ordered MITB this year Edited June 7, 2019 by Custos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianS81177 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) I would happily spend 60 bucks on an AEW game that had the old N64 No Mercy engine Edited June 7, 2019 by BrianS81177 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also really surprising how much TNT is getting behind AEW. Well TV reporter Tony Maglio said in an interview Turner was looking to get into the wrestling game for quite a long time way before All-In was a thing. So they were ready to get behind something as long as it was the right thing. Also $5 says we get a teaser trailer next year, and maybe a finished product in 2021.

Craig H Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 The only people working on wrestling games at the moment are Yukes/2K and Spike, although I don't even know if you can really even include Spike anymore. While there was that report that Yukes was creating another team to make a different wrestling game, if it's something for a US release, there's no way it isn't a WWE game. So that means someone is going to have to build one from the ground up. Plus, looking at 2021 means looking at development for next gen systems, so 2021 would be extremely optimistic for any sort of release. I'd bet on there being no game at all unless AEW sees any kind of success for at least two or three years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakk_Sabbath Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 AEW Revenge is going to kill my relationship, I know it. I'm totally gonna lose my job. Oddly, I actually came to the thread to make another WCW suggestion: I'm watching a Nitro from Sept 97 right now, and how freakin great are these little Mike Tenay Lucha mini-docs? I ate em up as a kid and I'm even more into them now. I wouldn't mind something along those lines for AEW, not just with international talent, but some of the American indies. I could totally see Excalibur doing one of these outside like, the PWG VFW Hall, the Hammerstein, ECW Arena, Elks Lodge, the JAPW building, etc. I think it could really help introduce some of those talents to a larger audience. Like, Chuck Taylor is fantastic, but to have him doing something like that, in a dark, smoky Chikara Wrestle factory talking about how he almost left the business, and this is his shot? Thats real 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I feel like with them teasing an AKI AEW game twice now that they should seriously just get the AKI crew back up in this bitch and do a modern take on a classic. Also, I really hope we get AEW Bash at the Beach in August or next summer. Didn't Cody end up getting the trademark? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf&Subs Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) But they haven’t done a wrestling style game since the really good Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix 2.

Jenalysis Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 A Ready 2 Rumble style AEW game would be interesting. Or maybe Style Savvy with Kenny Omega. (and if AEW ever tried to steal talent, throw in SANADA who's my one NJPW guy I'd like to see jump to AEW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Okay, hold on, wait a minute! Kenny tweeted Syn Sophia in February asking them to follow him if they like as he had something to discuss. Then they followed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E. Dynamite Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) AKI/Syn Sophia has been most well known for making a series of fashion-based sim games for the DS/3DS called Style Savvy that look like this This might seem like a terrible fall from grace for a developer who's wrestling games became such touchstones for the fanbase, but the series' three games on the 3DS have Metacritic scores of 76/78/80 in a genre that isn't exactly built for critical success. The demographic might have completely shifted but these people are still makes very good games. And I'm gonna guess Kenny owns a least one of them... Edited June 8, 2019 by John E.

LoneWolf&Subs Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I decided to look at the gameplay of those Style Savvy games. Really if you look at it, you can see that the old create-a-wrestler mode was the model for these games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Also, as much as I love the fantasy booking and custom fed/arena building, the WWE2K games are the drizzling shits on a technical level. Awful graphics for a current gen game, and everything is broken- there's literally shit that never worked in any of them, and yet the features are still there. Perfect timing for AEW to put out something cool. Honestly I'd pay $30 for a bare bones remaster of a WCWVTW/Revenge/WM2000/No Mercy type game w AEW guys, with straight up N64/PSX graphics. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
