Somebody got carpal tunnel that day

Was fun taping those shows... miss that... the fed closed down/merged with a bigger fed... Was fun taping the matches and taping all the "backstage shenanigans" and promos... can only imagine how much better we would do at it now....

Did anyone catch the latest Brian Last clue re: Kenny Omega’s backstage issues?

Was there any more info other than the 1 minute trailer? Cause if not, thats kinda lame.

Cool that thumbtacks actually stick to people though.

To be fair, I don’t think this is the actual teased reveal. More info is coming later today.

To also be fair, the game looks fucking gross and development has been a nightmare. It’s going to suck.

I’m pumped for Gull Fear! I wonder if there are going to be any surprises? Bow Wow to confront Jade?

People are not going to like this take, but…

The Acclaimed don’t seem to be very good. They’re over in front of that crowd and there is potential there. They’re “blue chippers,” but the act is pretty lame and them being so over is an indictment of where everything else is. Billy Gunn being so over is further evidence of that.

The same goes with MJF being a babyface.

This reminds me of when people would crow about R-Truth being one of the best things about WWE — there’s a bit of a problem there.

AEW keeps signing wrestlers. Konosuke Takeshita is All Elite. It’s a pretty good gig for a guy from Japan to get. He works a couple of times a month — once in front of people — gets paid a truck of money.

LMFAO the Khan's cant even afford to keep their stadium UNDER 129 violations!

Guess Shad let Tiny waste too much money on failed MMA fighters and FEDBADers to keep their diehards from utter SHAMBLES :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

If it was 129 rodents, I’d say it sounds like the AEW locker room.

No more info csme today.

I thought I read it was supposed to come “during Full Gear.” I don’t know. I’m happy to call them all dirty liars and remind people the game is going to be a disaster.

I'm rooting for it not to be. Good wrestling games are very few and far between these days.

I’m just trying to mentally prepare people.

the lord's work being done by noid

Where is the lie?

Technically it is just speculation until the game actually comes out.

If the game is great, I’ll be very happy for people. But I think the people expecting WWF No Mercy are going to be sorely disappointed.

Given the sheer amount of games that have referenced no mercy during development and turned out to be dogshit, I don't think anyone is fully comitted to the idea that its going to be great.

But videos we've seen of the gameplay, and how it looks in motion, has got people hoping that they've managed to pull it off. Nothing is certain until we get it in our hands ourselves though.

The team working on this worked on DoR2. Im not worried.

Aew =/= yukes. WCW Revenge was outstanding. The next year the same team released WM 2000. company logos dont matter.

Is it though? Yukes is a big company and we're talking 20 years ago. I doubt a lot of the people that worked on DOR 2 are still even there.

DOR 2 is tits though, for sure.

The director is Iwashita (Revenge/No Mercy) the lead designer is Katsumata (DoR2)

Oh, well shit. That is promising.

"Team" is certainly not every person but the key figures have made some of the best wrestling games ever made not named Fire Pro or Wrestle Kingdom

Hopefully those guys werent just interns or something when those games were made.

I wish it had another year in the can to get a full 4 year dev cycle though. Its a new engine after all. That said if theyre running off the blueprints of those two games (mechanically they're basically the same game at their core) then you dont need the full time in theory. You already know what works you just have to develop it.

No its the same roles they were in at the time. Its no mercy director. Its dor2s lead designer.

Wrestle Kingdom 2 is so good. Wish it would of come over here. I only played it for a little while on my modded ps2 when it bit the dust.

STOP TRYING TO MAKE ME HOPEFUL

My heart can't take another Pro Wrestling X.

Fight Forever could easily be the best wrestling game since the gamecube.

Basically if they fuck this up it will be an embarrassment beyond reason. They have the talent.

But it being brought to market in only 3 years is worrying

I expect it will be rough around the edges. But so was world tour and look how good revenge was... if this is a good 1st draft maybe FF2 nails it. Most fighting games hit their stride mechanically in their sequels nearly universally.

Point is there's a lot to jazzed about. Yukes finally has a wrestling license again. Skys the limit.

I don't know, Noid told me it's gonna suck.

Should be noted though theyre literally using an updated version of the aki engine so even saying "its a new engine" is going too far

its sales sucking is far more likely than the game sucking

If the rumors of what they spent on it are true, its going to be a loss.

WWE games are niche. This is much more so.
