"You've rated Wrestlepalooza a C?"

"Yes."

"But it was basically your average WWE event"

"....Yes"

Yes!

Was sat there like "oh my PAC has short hair?!". Wasn't until a few minutes had passed when I actually noticed he was in human clothes. Then I was just sat there like Leo.

Possibly the best gif that I will see in my time.

I'm not saying it is Hangman. All im saying is, have you ever seen Hangman and Sasquatch in the same place?

I think the biggest shock from #AEWALLOUT is that PAC owns and wears clothes.

Can't possibly choose between these 3.

Yep. It would've been a hard thing to get right in the first attempt. Having limited CAW creation suite, limited/outdated roster, and a short, basically unreplayable career mode did no favours.

Also, while creating Anarchy in the Arena was a nice/fun idea, it never would have lasted long term.

People wanted No Mercy gameplay. That didnt go so well. I have seen people calling for a switch to a Fire Pro style, which is even more niche.

They need something they like and build on it.

I'm for more Wrestling games. I enjoyed the first attempt but also haven't touched it in a long time.

By no means complete. I think fans of it didn't help with the hype, expecting it to be a 2K killer.

I get why they went with a more arcade feel, try to make themselves feel different from 2K.

I didnt mind it but I feel the art style also backfired on them as an easy target for criticism.

I enjoyed Fight Forever.

Another game I thoroughly enjoyed that did not perform well was TNA Impact, and this suffered from the same flaws. Fun core gameplay. VERY limited replayability.

Marketing this as the second coming of No Meecy did zero favours. Short career. Little to do outside of it.

Yeah. I haven't seen this for years and it hasn't gotten better in that time 😂

Don't forget the backshots.

Sorry.

Raven would be cool. Never got any from WWE, likely due to the lawsuits.

Would be cool to see a Sandman entrance.

Can Psicosis and Super Crazy still go?

BWO unlikely given Stevie is quite vocal.

That being said. If none happen, I wouldn't be too sad. Dont just shoehorn it in for the sake of it

Nobody can be sure of the backstage side of things.

However. Creative wise. There were some questionable choices. Booked himself into a corner regarding the World Title. Had that Cena feel of winning the feud with the new guy. Doubled down on the babyfave character that people started rejecting.

Honestly, he's one of my favourite people that I've met through Wrestling. Could not sing his praises enough.

I trained under David for a while. I can confirm he is one of the best people in the scene. Super chill guy. Super approachable and latient, and makes time for everyone who asked him things. The Rev Pro school is lucky to have him.

Exactly.

I remember seeing people losing their minds over PWG's annual Slo-Mo spot going viral. Your typical insane response that it's insulting to the business, all while JUSHIN LIGER of all people is there and shortly after gets a thumb up the bum, leading a thumb up the bum conga line.

If referring to Sheamus, Lyra, and Becky, they're not British. Some, if not a lot of Irish folk, don't like being referred to as such.
