THE WRESTLING THREAD: BROCK LESNAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!!
- Thread starter ArsenalCannon357
- Start date
was it even a year yet?
Hasn't even been 10 months. It takes money to make money. TNA was in bad shape when they purchased it. What did they expect? Apparently doing house shows that Jarrett pushed for didn't bring in a return in profit.

WWE 2K18 Coverage
With today's final WWE 2K18 Roster Reveal #4, we now know the full list of on-disc playable Superstars in the game, which features a record total of 174 unique characters - not including duplicates and alternate versions.
The WWE 2K18 Roster is already the largest in history of WWE Games, and it's expected to grow even more with several DLC Superstars (to be announced soon) that will be added after the release of the game.
But how many wrestlers didn't make the cut, at least for the launch-day Roster? Let's take a look at the Superstars & Women that are currently missing from WWE 2K18, with a note for those that are the most likely to be included as Downloadable Content at a later date.
Main Roster Superstars not included:
The WWE 2K18 Roster features almost every Superstar that appeared in WWE 2K17 (including DLC), with the exception of a few names, that either left WWE, or were excluded from the game for other reasons. Here are the characters that were removed from the game compared to last year's Roster.
Superstars:
The WWE 2K18 Managers list has not been disclosed in the Roster Reveal, so it's very likely that the following names will end up being in WWE 2K18, despite not being announced yet as of right now:

So Renee no longer does interviews backstage?
It seems like they just throw her in where ever they want. Backstage interviews, PPV pre shows, Talking Smack, etc. She is honestly one of the best people that they have at the commentary position and they should be capitalizing on that by putting her on a weekly show.
I like her but as with most NXT callups, shes more than likely going to suck on the main roster.
NXT crowd is like ECW, in that they are smart, know their shit, and are close to the talent.
WWE should have just pushed NXT as a true third brand/option exclusive to the Network, instead of using it as a farm league.
Asuka about to be watered down like Nakamura and Balor.
I hate Graves he's a horrible announcer. They need to put him back on NXT, he sucks at being a heel announcer.
You and me both. He does whatever he has to to agree with the heels.
Heel Wrestler - Grass is hot pink.
Cole - What is he talking about?
Graves - What are YOU talking about?! The grass has always been hot pink. Something is wrong with your eyes. Only a select few of us can see it the correct way.
I hate him because he sucks.
I hated Heenan because he was great as a commentator and manager.
Big difference.
Yeah man. Heenan and Jesse were GOAT heel commentators. Nothing was forced with them. They were funny as hell too.
Graves WISHES he could come up with "This isn't fair to Flair" or the cracks Heenan came up about the Hart family during the Survivor series.
Puke Hogan
The Heenan line where Marty Janetty "tried to escape through the window like a coward" is one of the greatest heel lines ever.
LMAO. It's a shame cancer took away his voice. The man was a wrestling comedic genius.
That Marty Janetty line was one of the best insults ever said. Period. That's one of those moments where I don't know how everyone didn't break character and start cracking the fuck up.
That line made the whole segment. It will never not be funny.
"They need each other..."
"He don't need Janetty. I told you that off and on."
Don't forget when Hogan turned heel at Bash at The Beach and Heenan was spazzing screaming, "I told you that you couldn't trust Hogan!"
That was my biggest weebay gif moment as a kid.
Apparently they're giving away Cena vs Stowman on free tv tonight. That seems like a big 4 PPV match but maybe they have something planned 
"They need each other..."
"He don't need Janetty. I told you that off and on."
Didnt Janetty and Michaels legit hate each other before this?
Heenan saying then even tho it was clear as day that HBK kicked him into that glass (which was real,not the breakaway kind)
They got into a fight before over Janetty bluffing about going to WCW after they were being shafted in pay over a cereal commercial.Didnt Janetty and Michaels legit hate each other before this?
