Ah yes, that's the one. Thanks, Diddy. :)

So, what happened at the end of Raw? For the first time since using the website, my feed died, and I missed it.

I was only half paying attention, but I think that Husky hit the Husky Hump or whatever his splash is called on Cena, and Miz got the pin.
 
I like that result. Thanks! :)

And "Husky hump" should be what that move is called. :lol:

Edit: Also:

THAT MOMENT WILL BE THE GENESIS OF THE MOMENT THAT THE GENESIS OF MOMENTS WILL BE THE GENESIS MOMENT THAT WILL BE THE MOMENT OF THE GENESIS OF MOMENTS.
 
Aside from the Nattie-LayCool deal that went on forever, and Santino getting on Team Raw because it's just ridiculous, and what might've been the longest "trailer" in history with Knucklehead. This thing had to go on for at least five minutes, and I think it exposed the film as having about there minutes of actual plot, I loved this show. Danielson-Sheamus was fantastic. Danielson got a ton of offense, and they had one of the most heated false finishes in a long time by recreating the actions of last week's beating, but having Danielson survive this time and nearly win. Ted Jr's match against R-Truth was also pretty decent. Every now and then, Ted shows fire, and he did here. Plus, Maryse made some hilarious faces. Gabriel-Orton, aside from the finish, was good and Gabriel got in quite a bit of offense against the champion.

Morrison-Kidd was also very good. Not sure what the deal is with DH - they said no one could find him, which led to some online speculation of a no show, but if it was that, he wouldn't have been mentioned. It's just DH Smith after all - there's no need to give him a mention on TV, just don't bring him up again. Punk-Bourne was short, but also quite good and worked well to make Punk look like an absolute killer (loved him doing Joe's swinging powerbomb into the barricade and using the ring for leverage on the Vise), but also wrote Bourne out so he can get his shoulder worked on. Miz-Cena was a slight disappointment because, while I'm glad Miz won, the win was very tainted with all the interference.

At least it was interference that's leading to a major stipulation match next week, and also had PPV ramifications. Still, they're not going to get Miz over as a major player unless he beats main eventers either clean in normal matches, or in the case of No DQ matches like this one, in a dominant fashion. I'm glad he won, and also happy that Reilly dropped the goofy Al Bundy starter kit.

The show-closing deal with Cena and Barrett was excellent. Barrett as super-dick was perfect, and while Cena did overact at times with goofy faces, he also had some subdued acting. Perhaps not as much as someone WHO HAS STARRED IN THREE MOVIES should have, but at least he wasn't just goofy throughout the whole deal. Barrett's 'YOU CAN'T SEE ME" was tremendous, and this had incredible heat, and this show really benefited from a hot crowd overall. Oh, and it's a shame they didn't have a real character model of him ready to go, because the Template 10 CAW of Barrett in the Bragging Rights PPV build video looks horrible.

SUPER CENA!


Number 1 Contender to the WWE Title - Template 10 -






















Quotes -
Cole - I’m not surprised that Cena’s getting a mixed reaction - he was forced to join Nexus!
(Cena chant)Cena - You have no Idea how much I need that - I NEED TO KNOW THAT YOU HAVEN’T LOST HOPE AND STILL BELIEVE! Last week, I heard the WWE Universe chant something I’ve never heard them chant before… (you suck chant hits) I’ve heard that a bunch - that’s nothing new. They were chanting NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER GIVE UP! I know this seems awkward, but I have never given up and I never will give up. I just wanna take a second to set the record straight - at Hell in a Cell, I took a risk. The fact is that I lost. I made a deal. And the deal was that if I lost, I’d become a member of the Nexus. If I don’t follow Wade Barrett, I’d be fired. Not with the option to go to SD - FIRED. We’ve been through a lot - I’ve heard ya cheer, I’ve heard ya boo, but every Monday night, I get excited regardless of what you guys say to me. This isn’t about c championships or money, this is what I love. I love it as much as you do. This is difficult for me guys. I’m between a rock and a hard place. You guys may have to see me do some things you don’t wanna see me do. It has nothing to do with me… (Miz comes out)
King - Why is Miz coming out?
Cole - IT’S MR. MONEY IN THE BANK’S BIRTHDAY!
King - So it’s the annual observance of the glorious arrival of the Awesome One?
Cole - Sure, why not?
Miz - Aww…Cena doesn’t wanna lose the support of the WWE Universe. Well, you’re In lucky, Cena, because I’ve taken it upon myself to captain Team Raw when it faces Big Show and Team SD at Braggign Rights. Unlike you, I don’t assemble my teams by judging them personally! Which is why I’m gonna offer you a spot on MY team. I know you didn’t like it last year when Show betrayed Raw, so I’m gonna let you help me give Raw Bragging Rights. JOIN MY TEAM.
Cena - Hold the phone - this Is a really good idea. The only problem I have is Miz as a captain - that’s like Betty White doing a spread for Playboy. Why don’t I captain team Raw?
Miz - NO NO NO, I CALLED IT FIRST.
Barrett - I’m gonna make this very easy for everyone concerned. I don’t care about Raw, and I certainly don’t care about is SD. All I care about is Nexus and the WWE Title. Now John, I need your complete, undivided attention at Bragging Rights. Being in my corner when I take on Randy Orton for the WWE Title. The rest of this? Forget about it.
Cena - I know I’m supposed to take order from ya, but there’s no way I can’t do both…
Barrett - YOU CAN…and will be in my corner at Bragging Rights, or are you going to disobey my orders?
Riley - You might wanna listen to Barrett, Cena, because even if he does win, Miz here might cash in his contract and leave BR as WWE Champion.
Miz - WELL THERE GOES THE ELEMENT OF SURPRSIE. Maybe I lead Raw to victory and take the WWE Title… (e-mail dings)
Cole - I’VE RECEIVED AN E-MAIL. AND I QUOTE! Wade, while Cena answers to you, you and everyon else on Raw’s roster answer to me. At Bragging Rights, I want Raw to beat SD and I want the best Raw team possible. I have arranged a series of matches with the winners forming team Raw. As for who will lead the team - I don’t want a team that has the potential for betrayal like last year. In tonight’s main event, there will be a match to determine the captain of Team Raw - the Miz versus John Cena!
Miz - That’s fine and dandy - I’LL BEAT YOU TONIGHT. I’ll win and maybe, at Bragging Rights, I’ll cash this in and become WWE Champion. Know what you can do about it Barrett? ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, NOTHING!
Cole - CENA DELIVERS THE AA!
(during Truth’s intro)Cole - Is it over?
King - What?
Cole - THIS SONG!
King - You should try and get crunk.
Cole - I’m quite crunk enough.
Cole - Tyson Kidd told me that he hasn’t shown the viciousness he learned in the Dungeon. (Tyson does a chinlock)
Barrett - If anyone wants to know what’s going on, YOU ASK ME. You two, take a walk… What did you mean last week when you asked John Cena to talk to you? AM I SENSING JEALOUSY?
Otunga - No no no…
King - Michael, what’s a tool? If anyone would know, it’d be you.
Cole - How would I know? I’ve never heard anyone say anything like that about me!
Cole - It’s like Animal Planet - two cobras.
King - She’s manhandling Santino.
Cole - If they become an item, we can call them Tamtino.
King - You do that, Michael.
Cole - We’re heading towards a LIMITED ENGAGEMENT comedy!
Cole - WELCOME HOME DANIEL BRYAN…
Cole - Biggest dweeb of all-time. Wanna know what a tool is? Look at this guy. Look in the dictionary - he’s there.
Crowd - DANIEL BRYAN! DANIEL BRYAN!
Cole - The fact that Daniel Bryan could be on Team Raw…
Cole - You didn’t have a problem with Daniel Bryan being on Team WWE and REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED!? WE LOST!
Crowd - DANIEL BRYAN!
Cole - The WWE Universe is wasting their breath.
Cole - IRISH HAMMER!
King - He hit Bryan so hard his kids will be born dizzy.
Cole - Daniel Bryan can be our waterboy!
Truth - SUP JC! What’r ya doing John? You have a rep as a stand-up guy. Not to mention, we’re buddies. Have been for a long time. You joining Nexus…that’s not sitting too well with the rest of the locker room just say if you gotta take one of us out, you would do it. That’s what I thought. I know you’re in a tough spot - I know you don’t wanna do what Barrett tells ya, but if you don’t, you’re gonna get fired. You’re gonna have to leave what we all love man. Before you make too big a mistake, there is another way out of this. JUST QUIT.
Cole - Why don’t you like the Miz?
King - I love the Miz and worship the ground that awaits him.
Cole - THE THREE-TIME WORLD CHAMPION. GIVE CREDIT TO OUR GM, WE’VE GOT CM PUNK!
Crowd - CM PUNK! CM PUNK!
(during an extended Anaconda Vise)Punk - NOTHING PERSONAL!
Nattie - For two divas that call yourself Flawless, you’re about as cheap as the heels Layla threw at me. Uncle Bret has taught me a lot, but the most important thing he taught me was to stand up for myself. In two weeks, the only thing Laycool is going to do is throw a GREAT BIG TANTRUM!
McCool - We hate to interrupt this heartfelt speech, but all we keep hearing is BLAH BLAH…
Layla - BLAH BLAH!
McCool - You’re so brave - you come out here despite BEING IN HD!
Layla - I don’t think she knows what that means.
Layla - She also inherited her Dad’s facial hair gene!
Layla - YOU HAVE TO SHAVE YOURSELF BEFORE EVERY MATCH!
Cole - Miz should lead team Raw because over in Australia, he lost the Baddest Baddie award and Slimed some kids who deserved it!
Miz - I’M THE CAPTAIN OF RAW CUZ IT’S MY SHOW!
Cole - I HAVE RECEIVED AN E-MAIL! AND I QUOTE! If Husky Haris and Mike McGillicutty wanna get involved in matches, I say they get involved in an official capacity. Next week, they will compete in their first-ever tag team match against John Cena and his partner, THE WWE CHAMPION RANDY ORTON!
Barrett - Interesting. Very, very interesting. I’ve decided I wanna add my own little spin on that - if you lose, I’m gonna induct Harris and McGillicutty into the Nexus. So next week Cena, I’m sure you’re gonna do the right thing… You got a problem with that, Cena… DON’T DO THAT. It seems like you’re trying to stare a hole through me. I bet you’d like to drop me right here, right now… I bet you’d love to do it FOR THE WWE UNIVERSE. FOR THE CENATION! BUT YOU’RE NOT GONNA DO A THING! AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU BEING FIRED, YOU WON’T DO IT CUZ YOU’RE SCARED! YOU’RE A COWARD. YELLOW-BELLIED. SPINELESS! I THOUGHT YOU WERE A REAL MAN - LOOKS LIKE WE WERE ALL WRONG ABOUT THAT. I can even turn my back on you right now… They’re chanting for you John, and how embarrassing must it be for you to have to disappoint them again. YOU ARE TRULY PATHETIC!
Cena - RAAAGGWWWWWWGGGHHHHHH!
Barrett - You’ve left everyone down. What a total AND UTTER DISGRACE! John, wait. Hold up. I’M ORDERING YOU TO STOP! John. Until next week… You can’t see me!
 
they're turning dh heel. by abandoning kidd in the "three way match", kidd will confront dh about where he was, dh will be shady.. etcetcetc

In WWE logic, that makes sense. In real world logic, I say, "But it's a three-way dance. There are no alliances. There can only be one winner."

What would have been better is if they did the routine 'Partner is accidentally hit by partner' method, and turned Harry Smith with a lariat to TJ Wilson.
 
In other news, early reports of the AAA game say it has slots for a whopping ***4*** create a wrestlers!!!

And that it's slow and plodding, similar to TNA Impact.

At this point, buying it at $20 seems far too generous. See you at
 
C&P'ed from the Lucha thread.. which I C&P'ed from GF.. here's some guy's first impressions.. *shudder*

I just got this game, and you will be thoroughly disappointed in it. It IS as bad, if not worse, than TNA Impact. Let me list some things:

1) From a weak grapple, you have four moves you can perform, and one of them is ALWAYS a snapmare.
2) From a strong grapple, you once again have only four moves you can perform.
3) There ARE two special moves you can do, but some of the people have a lowblow kick as a special move.
4) The wrestlers move around like they are going through molasses, whether you are running or throw someone with an irish whip, it's so slow, it's comical.
5) Once you initiate a grapple, you CAN NOT move, you are stuck there until you try to perform a move.
6) Once you have initiated a grapple and irish whip somebody, you can NOT choose the direction you throw them, it depends on which way you are facing when you grappled them.
7) One strike attack or one combo strike.
8) One kick attack or one combo kick.
9) The ring is WAY too big compared to the competitors.
10) Only two different moves can be performed on somebody in a turnbuckle.
11) You can NOT throw somebody back into the ring.
12) Only two weak back grapples
13) Only one strong back grapple
14) Only 4 Luchadors can be created
15) One special attack
16) AI is very dumb
17) AI will stay on the turnbuckle forever until they can attack

If there are any more questions, feel free to ask, I want to save as many people from wasting their hard earned money as I can.

I was really hoping it wouldn't be this bad, from people trying to say the gameplay videos were of an early build and stuff, but wow, it is so bad, I give it 4/10, and that's being nice.

Match types:

Pride Battle, which is like Exhibition
Story Mode, which is of course a Story Mode
King of Kings Mode, which is an 8 man tournament
Online Mode
Training Mode

Banner Editor
Extras, which has Biographies, Videos which need unlocked, Credits, and a Cheat Code entry

Seriously though, that sounds awful.
 
Seeing how this is the Randy Savage Wrestling Thread, it would be wrong not to mention that the WWE Randy Savage 3-DVD set(in addition to Edge's 3-DVD set) is $13 at Wal Mart. Going to pick them up tomorrow, if possible.
 
The Cena/Barrett stuff has been pretty good. I figured they would have screwed it up already, but I'm really interested to see how it progresses.
 
The guy who posted his impressions on GF made a video showing off the gameplay.

He's not kidding, guys. Horrible would be a vast improvement. Check out the amazing Irish Whip action. I'm calling it - 1.8 on IGN

The clothesline reminds me of a story Mick Foley told in his book (I think it was his book, anyway).. there was a Royal Rumble match in the indies or Japan or somewhere (don't remember, it's been years) and the guy was going to do the "fake elimination, get back in the ring and eliminate the guy as he does a victory pose" spot.. well, the guy got thrown over the top ropes, but his feet didn't hit the floor, so he wasn't eliminated. As he was climbing back in the ring, a fan threw a box of popcorn and hit the other guy on the back. He thought it was his opponent coming back in to eliminate him, so he jumped over the top rope.

Honestly, I too am interested to see what transpires, and somewhat surprised that WWE has done a very good job in its handling.

Gotta say, if John Cena turns heel, perhaps at Bragging Rights, there will be a sizable payoff, as the build in the Barrett-Nexus-Cena angle has been excellent.
 
so i was just thinking about the whole money in the bank with the MIZ... wondering when it will happen... and if he will win.
and i was looking at the CM punk videos of him winning and cashing it in... and stumbled upon this great video... watch the whole thing so you can SEE who is talking in the backround.

That is fucking horrible. Not even a La Parka mask would be enough to compensate for the piece a shit. He'll, they'd have done better business to just sell the masks and make the game a bonus.
 
The AAA game is exactly why I laugh when people want someone else to develop WWE games. The ratio of good wrestling games to absurdly awful games is horrendously low, so I'll take 'fine' any day.

Short version: a significant number of folks who should be on the disc from the start, in addition to legends, will be DLC only. The games' website features the roster in toto, and does not discern, state, or separate who will be on the disc and who will be DLC. So when you get upset that Wade Barrett is not in the game at release despite being on the roster, you know why.

You have two DLC options:
1) "Fan Axxess" - a one time, $9.99/800point plan that gives you all DLC planned and future
2) a la carte purchases of separate DLC packs

Right now, if you download everything, you're spending $1 more than if you bought the Fan Axxess subscription. But I wouldn't hold any faith in seeing later DLC packs (especially since the ESPN interview more or less exposed that THQ isn't working on the game any more, and they've wholly written off Daniel Bryan DLC). So if you want all the packs available, the Axxess is worth it (as well as the naive hope that you'll get future DLC) - but if one pack or two don't appeal to you, then go with the a la carte choice.

This is muy disappointing. I'll buy the game used now for sure just to spite THQ, and I'm not sure about the "Fan Axxess" garbage. If the WCW arena is WCW proper, then my interest is piqued. But not if it's the WWF's "wCw" ring/arena.
 
For 99 cents you too can break online play with your 99 overall Randy Orton who can do the punt 4 times in a row.
 
Not too worried about the DLC.. I'm using a $20 gaming coupon from K-Mart to pick it up, so even with that and the $10 Fan Axxess thing, it'll still be less than retail.

also.. WTF WCW ARENA?! Which one? Nitro? Thunder? Saturday Night (ha! that would be epic)? I can't wait to see what it is. As long as it's not the new Nitro arena post-2000.

Speaking of WCW, let's do a "Where are they now?" update on WCW's announcers.

Schiavone is a writer for the Georgia Bulldog Radio Network and also works on a post-game show for the same station, where he recaps what was possibly the single most important game in football history.

Heenan battled throat cancer (and won) and had his jaw rebuilt. The last I've heard, he's doing okie dokie.

Steve McMichael is.. well, who knows, but he was recently inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.

aaaaand Larry Zybysko is hanging out on Scott Hall's couch.

I think I'd gamble on Fan Axxess. I'd want a WCW arena (especially the old Nitro set) and I'd want the NXT guys (mostly Barrett and Gabriel) so if they put anything else out after that I guess it is worth it.

Marcus Stephenson already confirmed a third DLC pack will be released, but not details have been given, yet. The Fan Axxess may end up saving around $5 in the long run, but still...$5 is $5. I actually asked him on Twitter if the game would have a chance at having more than 3 DLC packages, and he only responded with, "3." :(
 
^ There are three DLC packages listed in the presser above. One is 'free' with a one-time code printed on the manual, and the other two are listed as 'one' and 'two' respectively.

Did you all gloss over the ESPN interview I linked to yesterday? I don't care if you don't read my posts or links or whatnot, but the THQ guy interviewed goes out of his way to say, clear-as-day, they're not working on adding anything to the game at this point. No Daniel Bryan, no "third" DLC pack other than what's in the press release.
 
[quote name='Scorch']And in browsing through random WCW things on YouTube, I just found out that Chris Jericho's first theme in WCW is actually an instrumental of another song - "All The Days" by Mammoth. Mind = Blown.[/quote]

Can't remember the name, but the theme Benoit had for most of his WCW run was the same type of thing - some random cock-rock song with the vocals stripped out.

Edit - found it

By VIVIAN SANCEHZ, Associated Press Writer – 33 mins ago

KOKOMO, Florida – Pro wrestler, Eric Young, died from first-degree burns at a Total Nonstop Action (TNA) wrestling Pay-Per-View. During a spot where Young sat in a burning tool shed, the shed accidentally collapsed. Referee, Brian Hebner, crossed his arms forming an 'X', a signal that something has gone awry. As medics lifted Young into an ambulance, TNA fans could be overheard, chanting, "This is awesome."

Eric Bischoff: "Hulkster, I'm called and booked Butterbean as soon as you said 'thing'."

ON THE NEXT TNA PPV, ANIMAL RESCUE, WILL ORLANDO JORDAN BE ABLE TO SAVE, HELPLESS PUP, ERIC YOUNG FROM THE DASTARDLY CLUTCHES OF BUTTERBEAN, IN A FLAMING HOUSE MATCH! /jeremyborash

TRAGEDY AT TNA WRESTLING PPV
By VIVIAN SANCEHZ, Associated Press Writer – 33 mins ago

KOKOMO, Florida – Pro wrestler, Eric Young, died from first-degree burns at a Total Nonstop Action (TNA) wrestling Pay-Per-View. During a spot where Young sat in a burning tool shed, the shed accidentally collapsed. Referee, Brian Hebner, crossed his arms forming an 'X', a signal that something has gone awry. As medics lifted Young into an ambulance, TNA fans could be overheard, chanting, "This is awesome."

I hadn't seen her before, and have never seen even a promo of Jersey Shore. She's cute.

Dude, I was just scrolling through the posts and all I saw was this part. Had me like, what the fuck?! Nice.
 
[quote name='KaneRobot']Can't remember the name, but the theme Benoit had for most of his WCW run was the same type of thing - some random cock-rock song with the vocals stripped out.

Edit - found it

What the fuck! Are there any other themes like this!? (and yes, I know the nWo theme was a porn theme)
 
Hehehe...! Thanks. :D I thought it was funny that Eric Young would die from first-degree burns, and that Hogan and Bischoff confused the Tough Enough program with the Brawl For All competition. :whistle2:#

Hogan: "This Alicia Fox girl is smart. We need a 'Undefined' TNA World Champion."
Bischoff: "We need to sign Mark Henry. He was the best member of Men on a Mission."
Jeff Jarrett: "I like cheese."

[quote name='Scorch']Not too worried about the DLC.. I'm using a $20 gaming coupon from K-Mart to pick it up, so even with that and the $10 Fan Axxess thing, it'll still be less than retail.

also.. WTF WCW ARENA?! Which one? Nitro? Thunder? Saturday Night (ha! that would be epic)? I can't wait to see what it is. As long as it's not the new Nitro arena post-2000.

Speaking of WCW, let's do a "Where are they now?" update on WCW's announcers.

Schiavone is a writer for the Georgia Bulldog Radio Network and also works on a post-game show for the same station, where he recaps what was possibly the single most important game in football history.

Heenan battled throat cancer (and won) and had his jaw rebuilt. The last I've heard, he's doing okie dokie.

Steve McMichael is.. well, who knows, but he was recently inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.

aaaaand Larry Zybysko is hanging out on Scott Hall's couch.[/QUOTE]

Lee Marshall is the voice of Tony the Tiger.

Looking forward to SvR '11, even though it is a shame Danielson won't officially be in. Interested in what the WCW arena will be. Hopefully it's the pre-Starship Nitro arena.
 
question...WHY DOES SHAD GET ALTERNATE RING GEAR?!?!?!?

It's like they just wanna play cruel jokes on fans....
 
I usually love all wrestling, especially TNA, but last night's Bound for Glory PPV was the worst written show I have ever seen in my whole life. The boys worked hard, the stories were fuckin trash. The worst ever. I want my money back. It was insulting to fans like me who support them. - "Violent J" of the ICP
Click to expand...
Good lord. :lol:
 
You don't want the ICP and their fanbase to get mad...ask Method Man and Tila Tiquila

And from reading the spoilers last night....looks like their fanbase was already on the scene!
