If Psycho Sid can poop his pants and still wrestle...

Stone Cold Steve Austin did too, against Yokozuna. Finished the match, [/COLOR]

Was that the one where the ropes broke while Yokozuna was going for the Banzi drop? I think I may have that on Coliseum video VHS :lol

[COLOR=#red]No. If I remember they were outside in Africa or something. Apparently half the boys got sick. I remember either listening or reading about it a good while ago. Could be mixing two stories together though. Been awhile. I just remember he **** his pants. [/COLOR]

I hope the gameplay is as good as those screenshots for 2K14.....

Might pass up on it on release day and might just wait and get it when it releases for PS4.

2k14 isn't coming to the PS4 or X1.

Future WWE 2k games probably will, but not this one.
 
last night was handled perfectly.
Bryan will be/is the biggest thing in wrestling for a long time.
 
I want Curtis Axel to go away forever. Can't believe Heyman picked this dude.

No Cena, Sheamus and Sin Cara for an extended period of time makes me so happy.

thats why I said everything triple h said about he did what was best was funny because not only on tv but backstage they made the right choice to keep Bryan as the hunter.
 
i know DBry is probably the most over thing with the crowd right now since like The Rock but I wanna check out if that is leading to sales and ratings for his merchandise/segments. Need to find some data on that.

Everything about this game looks noticeably better from the graphics, to the movements,etc. I just wish they could get long hair right for once. It seems like every game I've played looks like Dolph's hair in real life.
 
Nice discussion about the current state of wrestling/high spots. Even those of you that don't care, READ.

Ultimo Dragon and his army of cat... er, rather, army of good looking, athletic dudes mostly concerned about moves and executing them as quickly as possible more so than telling a story have really ****** up Japanese wrestling it seems. And the escalation of the All Japan heavyweight style in the late '90s too. That didn't help much either.

This is going to be a cross genre, possibly convoluted comparison, but I think the same thing that happened with Puroresu happened with rap after 2pac and Biggie died. Instead of trying to find new unique talents that brought something new to the table, they decided to try to fill the vacuum with imposters and substitutes. They should have been looking for young guys who are talented, fundamentally sound, and unique. Instead they watched 90s NJPW Jrs. and AJPW Heavyweights and focused on the flashy dives and suplexes and missed everything that held them together and made them special. So they basically shaved a couple guys heads, put bandanas on them and just assumed it would work. Thankfully, it seems like there are some guys are beginning to see that the most important parts of wrestling are the parts that are unseen. Sometimes taking an extra second or two to sell the last suplex makes the next suplex mean more. Doing a moonsault after being in a figure four looks good, but makes no sense based on the story being told in the ring. Hip-hop suffered from believing that people liked 2pac and Biggie because they were thugs or ballers, and not because they were extremely charismatic, talented songwriters who could make good music. Puroresu suffered from thinking that people watched because they were flipping out of the ring and dropping each other on their heads instead of the fact that they had wrestlers who did everything to tell a compelling story in the ring. Hopefully that makes some sense to someone other than me.
