  1. There was a really fun Ryback/Dolph match on Superstars last night with Ryback looking better than I'd seen him in a while. I still think he rushes too much from spot to spot but everything he did looked really good and Dolph was there to bump like a crazy person. Axel was good at ringside too, covering his ears when the crowd was chanting for him. A fun little C-show match.

  2. Brie Bella seems like a really fucking great girlfriend.

     

    Totally. The look of pride in her eyes every time she watched Bryan was really sweet. I liked how Cena came off as this crazy, stoic "Love your family, brother" dude was hilarious. I'd have liked to think that he and Bryan huddle around a BBQ at Cena's house and talk about sport.

  3. So am I the only 1 who thinks they're throwing Bo and Adam Rose to the wolves?

     

    Oddly after tonight the thing I'm most looking forward to is Zeb Colter and Heyman promoing against each other.

     

    As long as they understand what makes Bo great on NXT (which is a total crap shoot, it seems), he'll get over just fine. His shtick will get a ton of heat.

    Ooh! Ooh!

    That can be what the bring Sting in for.

    Special Guest Enforcer of War Games!

    He can be the guy who flips the coin to see who has the man advantage.

     

     

    Then run in and start swinging for the fences when the Outlaws try to stooge their way in.

  5. My god, now that buyrates aren't an issue, if Extreme Rules runs a Kane/Evolution vs. Bryan/Shield WarGames match... I think the world might implode.

     

    Nah, man. You do the HHH/Bryan gimmick match at ER, the Shield/Randy, Tista and Kane NO DQ 6 man, everything falls apart and then you do the War Games. I'd stretch it out even further but I know that BROCK LESNAR AND CESARO ARE GOING TO COME AND FUCK EVERYONE'S SHIT UP. YES. 

  6.  

    I need more likes.....STAT!

    I was cringing while reading some of the comments at the bottom of the Yahoo article on the streak.  People like this actually exist.  People want to kill Brock Lesnar and Vince McMahon.  So weird.  

     

    Sadly it's still real to them dammit!

     

     

    Some guys on my Facebook went totally crazy when it happened so I, of course, had to reply that Taker deserved to lose for 25 years of disrespecting the WWE microphones.

  7. You know, the immediate reaction to Taker losing is a legit top 2 WWE moment for me. Just the absolute shock, disbelief and anger is truly what pro wrestling aspires to achieve. The reason it's number 2 is because the pop when Batista tapped out is my favourite moment ever. That place fucking ERUPTED and the main event was brilliant. HHH and Steph's involvement kicked everything into over time, Orton worked his ass off, the table spot was great and Bryan struggling off the stretcher had every man, woman and child in that place on their feet. The wait was totally worth it.

  8.  

    Some guys are supposed to always be in the mid card. And there's nothing wrong with that . People get too wrapped up in trying to come up with reasons why everyone hasnt been in the Main Event tier or stayed there for good.

     

    Your gimmick of telling people what to not talk about still really sucks. Most people in WWE would agree there's been a failure to create new stars and an over-reliance on a handful of guys.

     

    Sure there are guys who are always supposed to be mid-card; guys like Eddy and Rey right? Lest we forget that basically WWE have been more or less *forced* to treat Daniel Bryan as a main eventer when they clearly were not keen at all. It's not like anyone (who counts, BigFresh ;-)) is arguing for a Brodus Clay main-event push - people talk about Kofi as a possible missed opportunity that was worth rolling the dice on, Wade Barrett as a guy who very solid heel heat - even against Cena - and could cut a good promo even when green, and Dolph, who is very over with a lot of crowds despite being jobbed out all over the place. It's pretty reasonable stuff.

     

     

    Barrett is definitely a big one, especially during his run as leader of the Nexus. I remember Raw opening once with them all in the ring and the boos were deafening and that was before the dude stoked the flames even more with his promo.

  9. Wade is one of those 'lost generation' guys that came in and got lost in the shuffle like right before the WWE was like 'oh shit we have to make new stars' and NXT becoming what it currently is. 

     

    Who else belongs on that list? It's a fair amount of talented people.

     

    MVP could have been something great but they gave him the shitty losing streak gimmick and he completely lost direction once Matt Hardy beat him for the US Title.

  10. John Cena is awesome and people know this. The guy gets crazy face reactions on the house shows so it leads me to believe that people boo him on TV because they're real fucking dumb and WWE have perpetuated this equally dumb "LIKE HIM OR NOT, HE GETS A REACTION" response because they were too lazy to think of anything else.

    so if the site of the citizenship ceremony means anything, The Great Khali is now a Texan. Or at least Texan Great Khali would be a fun time for everybody. Khali goes from Indian to Cowboy. Wears a hat and a giant belt buckle

    It's a disgrace that Jimmy Wang Yang never once cut a promo. Talk about half-assing a gimmick.

    I agree with what's been said about AP so will only mention that I also just don't like the way the shooting feels, even with plenty of points poured into pistols.

     

    But, I started a new TEW13 game with a 2001 scenario with everyone's potential turned to random. I added a created British touring fed in which I've added a ton of the popular early 2000s indy guys, the better British workers and some ECW cast-offs. And the ECW influence is rubbing off since some dude pleased the locker room by bringing in a shit ton of alcohol. I hope it effects the show tbh.

    SO what is the cost on the new TEW and where are some good mod sites ? I would research more but i'm presently at work. I had the old EWR and the early TEW and I'm looking to start up again.

     

    It's still $35. Adam still patches the game even two years after its release, so that's pretty cool. I'd imagine his new game for this year would be the next TEW, but that's just my guess/hope. I'm starting to feel like he's pushed the current coding/style of the game to its limits and to really get a whole lot more out of a new release would mean moving away from Visual Basic to something a bit more complex. I don't know if Adam's up for that and I'd imagine we'd lose a tonne of features if that were the case to but maybe that's what is needed for the series to evolve. Many of the desired features for old territory-based mods can't really be that accurate without traveling champions and other features.

     

    The Greydog Software forums are where you can find the majority of mods and latest releases, but there's this place for archiving of older mods: http://www.ewwarehouse.info/. If you're looking to play a modern day mod, the Real World Chronicles is the most balanced by far, but Cpt. Charisma's mods have way more depth and are probably pretty easy to play. For my money, the two best mods are the '91 and '94 ones. The '04 mod that is in the beta stages and is about to have its first finalized version released shortly is looking pretty damn good too. I find most of the other real world mods imbalanced one way or another (too generous with ratings or the reactionary too harsh with ratings). The default C-Verse is a great way of learning the game's mechanics, though.

     

     

    The 91 mod is the best mod, yeah. Real detail into each promotion, the stats are nice and realistic across the board and most importantly, things actually happen in the game world. By that, I mean there's title changes, roster upheavals and guys getting pushes in promotions that aren't your own. There must be some way to actually make that happen when creating the mod because so many of them fail at it.
