The "I Smell A Coward! Is That You, Hogan?" "Macho Man" Randy Savage Wrestling Thread

Not open for further replies.
Shad will probably get his heel attire--which consists of his generic black and white flame trunks that, I could have sworn, I've seen somewhere in the game's editor.

THQ will probably grace us with a fourth DLC pack. It'll consist of Sheamus with an arm band, John Cena with purple arm bands, and "Fantasy" Randy Orton with two black arm bands--and red boots. All of this can be yours for a meager 800 points. ;)

Edit: Which one is "Violent J"? The fat one who thinks his beard is made from Jesus dust, or the skinny one who eats magnets?
 
I can't wait for Orton to bitch about how Gabriel botched the finisher but then somebody calls him out on how he really botched it by not getting out of the way in time then ruining the whole match by no-selling the botch to a ridiculous extent.

I wouldn't say Orton didn't get out the way in time, Gabriel was really off on how far he went. If that was suppose to be the finish, he would have hit Orton with his knees.

[/QUOTE]That's a spot-on assessment. The only way I could see the botch being Orton's fault would be if he was supposed to roll towards the turnbuckle Gabriel was jumping off of.
 
Even if Randy Orton messed up the finish and rolled opposite of where he was supposed to go, Justin Gabriel will still be blamed. That's how WWE 'rolls', eef yuo wheel.

Considering Gabriel hasn't even shown signs of botching the 450, and he's done it in high pressure situations against bigger names, like the Undertaker and John Cena, I'm blaming Orton for the botch.

Me too. My first thought when I saw that was, "Why didn't Orton roll towards the turnbuckle?" I almost never see anyone roll towards the middle of the ring to get out of the way of a high spot.

Yeah, that's my thought as well. :whistle2:k

Randy Orton probably messed up. Otherwise, he would have thrown a tantrum, and cursed at Gabriel for "fucking up" or something.

That's a good point. At least Orton didn't start drooling everywhere and yell stupid about 20 times.

Really? I can't remember the last time somebody roll towards to turnbuckle to avoid a top rope move.
 
After reading the Impact spoilers for next week, I still can't figure out why there's a heel v heel match where another heel interferes, especially when none of the three men are in the same group.

Also can't figure out why they didn't use Nash to put someone over on his way out.

Did Desmond Wolfe get deported or something?
 
I wish WWE, instead of TNA, finalized a deal with Nigel McGuinness. Could you imagine that? Nigel, CM Punk, Matt Sydal, Low Ki, Bryan Danielson, and Tyler Black on the same roster building their careers in the mainstream? Goodness, yes. :drool:

I've said this before, and I'll say it again: I love present-day WWE. The roster has a lot less shitty filler, and is full of more talent than any other period in WWE history. When the worst people in the company are Jack Swagger, JTG, Darren Young, and Mark Henry, for instance, that's a pretty darn good average of talent.

Swagger may not have the ability to cut a good promo and has been told to keep the personality of mud, but he's decent in the ring, and could still be revived with a solid heel manager. There are people better than JTG, but he's by no means terrible and he's very over with fans. Darren Young is pretty bland, and has no direction, right now, but all he needs is a new gimmick, and an angle.

And Mark Henry. I trashed him ever since he stepped into a WWE ring, and didn't stop until he turned face in 2009. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I really enjoy Mark Henry's present place in the roster as a lovable, ancillary face. So long as he's just there in the background, helping other faces, and delivering the fans the Kool-Aid they love, I really like him.

Toss in second/third generation wrestlers with a lot of potential, like Harry Smith, the Rotundas (i.e., Husky Harris), Alberto Del Rio, the DiBiases, Richie Steamboat, Wes Brisco, Cody Rhodes, and even, Joe Hennig and the younger Colon, and WWE is headed into a direction I like more than any other period in its history.

Then there are WWE's cornerstones, like Chris Jericho (I pray he returns after his music tour; this break), MVP (who I think deserves another run at any title), Christian (the best babyface "gatekeeper" WWE has today), and Goldust (who is still very good in the ring and looks great now that he's gotten back into shape).

WWE's foundation is very strong. I'd love a tag team resurgence, especially when those second/third generation wrestlers come pouring into the main WWE roster. It would be amazing, and you know it.

If an angle happens and nobody watches it, does it still make a sound? I ask because Golddust and Aksana are now engaged.
 
WWE and TNA both show that it's not the roster, it's what you do with it. In both cases, there's so little in the way of actual, enjoyable wrestling matches that I now watch both shows with great inconsistency, even if I'm still a huge fan of pro wrestling.

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."[/QUOTE]

:lol:

Now that was classic. I commend you, sir.

Did Desmond Wolfe get deported or something?[/QUOTE]

The rumor is something is wrong with him medically (potentially the same thing that caused WWE to pass on him when they signed Bryan Danielson)

For the people who don't know

Former Ring of Honor wrestler Nigel McGuinness did not pass a pre-screening physical after an initial agreement with WWE, according to Jason Powell of Prowrestling.net. As a result, WWE removed its offer to McGuinness after agreeing to a deal in September.

McGuinness has a history of injuries during his career and WWE extensively checks incoming wrestlers before signing a new wrestler to a contract as part of their Wellness Policy.

McGuinness went to TNA instead and debuted at last night's TNA Impact taping. McGuinness told his new co-workers that he signed TNA after WWE took too long to finalize a contract.

TNA star Desmond Wolfe is expected to be out of action for the next few months due to an undisclosed medical situation. Jason Powell of Prowrestling.net reports Wolfe was very quiet at the last set of Impact tapings about his medical situation that prevented him and Magnus from appearing on the No Surrender PPV. Magnus was not brought in for the TV tapings last week and it remains to be seen what plans they may have for him with Wolfe expected to miss a significant amount of time.

I agree. WWE needs a little less sports entertainment and a little more pro wrestling.

WWE (Raw, SmackDown, Superstars) seems to be about 20-percent actual matches and 80-percent "sports entertainment" (i.e., talking, backstage promos, etc.). A realistic "golden ratio" for WWE is about 65-percent sports entertainment and 35-percent actual wrestling. That would give us around four 10-minute matches in a 2-hour show. Now, I'd prefer a 60-40 ratio, with five 10-minute matches in a 2-hour show, but that's not realistic. I didn't count time, but SmackDown either hit the 65-35 ratio when it was the A-Show, or came close. :whistle2:k


Edit: Thank you, Neocisco. 'Tis much appreciated. :)

Also, I wonder what is wrong with Nigel that prevented WWE from hiring him, and is giving him present-day issues. He doesn't look like a drug taker (though, I suppose, most pro wrestlers are on drugs; sadly).

I'd love to see that.
 
The "wild and young" theme is something I'd fuckin' boo to hell and back for sure.

The thing about matches isn't the ratio to talkie-talk segments, Chase. It's the quality that's given. I'd rather see no match at all than a match that lasts from 1-3 minutes. 5-10 is what I vastly prefer (save for divas matches, since they're as untrained as a dog who still shits in the house). They could use the same amount of TV time for matches, just have...um, 1-3 instead of 4-6 bullshit-length matches.

The point of the wrestling show should be the wrestling, too. Goldust came back (so to speak) last week in that he's involved in an angle for the first time in a long, long while. That's well and good, but not only do I (1) not remember, for a second, who DiBiase faced in the ring, I (2) don't remember the match outcome and (3) WWE didn't put any focus on the match like it mattered. What matters in WWE is angles (or "movies" as I'm sure they call them). Why have a match at all, then? The match was periphery to the whole thing; the *least important part* of that segment.

That's what modern wrestling is missing. Matches themselves are, to use wrestling parlance, "transition holds" in and of themselves. They're mechanisms used to get from one storyline point to another - they're not the culmination of the story. And they should be.

Lance Storm had a blog several weeks back lamenting the change from "angles" to "storylines," and echoes a lot of the sentiment I'm feeling right now. The wrestling, we're told, doesn't matter. It's an easy mechanism to put a person in a storyline in a setting for the storyline to unravel, rather than the setting where the storyline culminates. Storm argues that is why PPV buyrates are down; that's one of several reasons (them being bi-weekly and $fucking50 is a huge culprit, IMO - if we buy into basic free market economic principles, consumers are rejecting both the content and the pricepoint, yet if you listen to WWE corporate, they're in denial that either is the case, instead claiming that people are going to each other's houses now instead of buying them individually - as if they never did that before!).

Why do you think Undertake/HBK at WM26 was such a great match/angle this year? BECAUSE IT WAS ABOUT A MATCH, IT LED TO A MATCH, THE MATCH WAS GREAT, AND THE MATCH WAS THE NECESSARY LOCATION WHERE THE IMPORTANT SHIT WENT DOWN.

Wrestling isn't hard to do, but both companies have lost sight of that substantially. You're never going to hook viewers with 3 minute matches.

LOL that would be priceless....
 
That's an excellent point, Myke. :) Quality is what's important in regards to matches, and even talking segments. I agree that crappy wrestlers should be given less time than good wrestlers. Perhaps I'm perceiving something that's not there, but, as of late, WWE Creative has given less time to Diva matches. I hope it's a conscious decision, and a realization that some people prefer to not watch a 5-7 minute, crappy match.

Modern pro wrestling is indeed missing the importance of matches as stories. That's what pro wrestling should be: Storytelling by wrestlers through the art of a pro wrestling match. WWE knows its pro wrestling roots, and what it should do, if Undertaker-Michaels and Flair-Michaels is any indication.

I wholeheartedly agree that pro wrestling, and matches, should be the focus, and where stories unfold and are told. WWE can accomplish the branding of pro wrestling as "sports entertainment" and make tenured fans believe it, while gaining new fans, and pleasing all audiences. All they have to do is, like you said, allow wrestlers to do what they train to do: Put on good matches.

(That's one reason why I always return to Japan: They allow their athletes to tell stories in matches. And that's a reason why I try to keep up with Ring of Honor. What mainstream pro wrestling needs is Ring of Honor.)
 
Team SD

Show, Rey, Edge, Kofi, Swagger, Del Rio, Kaval.

As a reminder, Team Raw is Miz, Punk, Morrison, Santino, Sheamus, and Truth.

Seems a bit one-sided.
 
What's with all these jobbers coming into the thread all of a sudden? This ain't CZW.

Going back to what Chase said earlier, I too loved it when Mark Henry came to Raw back in '09. The pop he got...holy fuck, it was huge. Him going against Orton was amazing to me, and I was really really really hoping they would do something with that. Unfortunately, it seemed like Creative got gunshy with him, and moved him sideways to team up with MVP. That's one thing I don't like currently, actually. For example: where did Evan Bourne's push go?

Even if it's seemingly obvious that so-and-so is gonna lose to the champ, let them work anyways. Instead of just putting someone in a squash match, give the audience a reason to tune in and say "did you see that _______ match last night? I didn't think he had it in him..."

TNA admittedly does this, but they fill the matches with clusterfucks and swerves and geriatrics all the time so it becomes irrelevant.
 
I still can't believe Mark Henry main evented Unforgiven a few years ago. I didn't even pay for the PPV ( my friend did) and I wanted my money back. At least the pizza we all ordered was great.

Sorta wonder where in their ass they found Brian Pillman-Alex Wright. :whistle2:k

I am very glad they included something from 2 Cold Scorpio. He's easily one of the best, most agile heavyweights in pro wrestling history. I love watching him work.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5C7TEBW3hA

Damn it, Chris Benoit. It's a shame that he did what he did. He should be in this compilation.

There is a notable absence of Shane Helms, Paul London, Brian Kendrick, Chris Candido, Yoshihiro Tajiri, and WCW luchas, like La Parka, Super Calo, and Blitzkrieg. WWE owns all footage from WCW and ECW. It's shame they don't dig deeper.

And Chavo Guerrero, Jr.? For fuck's sake...

lulz, most people seem to like my blogs bro. :booty:
 
I say: The most voices, the better. So, welcome. :)

Some will stay; some will go. I have only been here, posting under this account, since January 2008. Some members who appeared to be regulars, in these threads, have disappeared (though I think some of them were banned). Even though I don't reply to all posts, I enjoy the posts of everyone whom regularly posts in these threads. Everyone has a place. ;)
 
Nice to see DLC being mentioned this early on for SVR after practically nothing last year.. Im personally excited about Luger and the wcw arena.

I am a little confused about the fan axxess though. is it essentially prepaying for the dlc?



http://www.gamespot.com/news/6281850.html?tag=latestheadlines;title;3


Publisher's new DLC initiative intro's one-time $10 fee for "select" add-ons to wrestling sim on 360, PS3.

In August, THQ announced that it would be taking a cue from Electronic Arts' Online Pass initiative by charging used-game purchasers for access to WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011's online modes. That won't be the only experimental element of THQ's WWE strategy this year, as the publisher has also announced a new way in which gamers can access downloadable content for the wrestling sim.


Fan Axxess won't require gamers to circumvent a chain-link fence…full of robust men.
The program is called Fan Axxess, and it allows purchasers of WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011 to gain access to "select" DLC released throughout the lifespan of the game for a one-time cost of $10 (800 Microsoft points). Fan Axxess is available for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 editions of the game, and WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011 will also see release on the PlayStation 2, PSP, and Wii on October 26.

Fan Axxess will begin this holiday season with the release of the wrestling sim's first add-on. Included in the pack will be playable wrestlers, such as WWE Legends British Bulldog and Lex Luger; WWE Superstars Wade Barrett, David Otunga, and Justin Gabriel; and WWE Diva Layla. Also included will be alternate ring gear for Shawn Michaels and Shad, as well as the WWE NXT arena. Those who do not purchase Fan Axxess can pick up the content for $7 (560 MSP).

In early 2011, THQ will release the game's second add-on pack, which includes alternate gear for John Cena, Undertaker, and CM Punk, as well as an additional WCW arena. The pack will be free for Fan Axxess purchasers, and sold individually for $3 (240 MSP).

Fan Axxess purchasers will also gain access to the WWE Superstar Attribute Customizer ($1 sold separately) and direct access to more than 60 unlockable items, ranging from playable wrestlers to arenas and ring gear ($1 each sold separately). THQ did not provide a date for when these items would be made available, however.
