I haven't played that 2k shit in years have they added anything like creating factions and like a good career mode?
Gameplay wise the current game is MUCH more wrestling simulator than the old school arcade feel. However the creation modes alone are worth a purchase.

You can create a faction, their titanthon, gear, ring entrance, etc. I've seen recreations of classic groups like the 4 Hoursemen, L.O.D., Steiner Bros, etc. that were perfect.

:hmm: pg 13? Also, these bitches better start hiring someone with a mirrorless or even an old school DSLR camera? WTF is up with these crappy ass phone pics?

Fuck it....:hellyea:
It's not just the pg13ish of it.
I really need these women to stop shopping at the same IG booty doctors.

These could be anybody!
All these IG/Onlyfans/Twitter models look the same. Especially the white ones. You could have said that was Adrianna from Sopranos, and I would have believed you.

I'm not going to lie, as things begin to unfold with the Vince case, what's going on at TNA, etc....I'm starting to lose excitement over things wrestling related. I hope TKO can begin with a clean slate after Mania, but as news hits it just gets uglier and uglier.

Agreed. We are at a cross road for the wrestling industry. More changes are coming.

This!
Mania is in Philly this year. I should be over the moon and trying to get tickets. Instead, I'm barely excited about watching for free at home.

1st the Vince stuff came out. Then the panic move to run to Rock the Dwayne and abandon the storyline that got me back into wrestling in the first place.

Like y'all said, I'm losting excitement at a time when we should be getting hype.

I can name a couple of things just off the top of my head:
  • Dixie was fucking the talent while she was there. It's pretty much a known fact at this point. But of course, there's always a double standard when it comes to female bosses fucking their male employees.
  • There's some shit that happened with Don Callis and female talent apparently while he was there. NDAs are in place so who knows if we'll ever hear about it.
Scarlett Boudreax, Karrion Kross' valet/wife, was supposedly a main victim of whatever specifically happened with Don Callis
 
So basically, Mercedes and Okada will be debuting March 13th! Doing it like they did when Punk debuted at "The First Dance" Rampage show.








AEW needs some life and excitement injected back into the company. After Punk got himself fired and multiple top guys are injured there's little to look forward too.
 
Okada's debut I'm actually not sure about. They may do him at "Revolution". Ospreay will most likely show up at "Revolution".
I'll be at Revolution so I was hoping Mercedes would debut there, but it's obvious now she'll be debuting on Dynamite "Big Business".
I know Okada is a big deal to a lot of fans, but he doesn't do much for me.
Maybe I'll change my mind seeing him in person.
 
Kinda feel like Mox should be the highest paid guy. Jericho helped get their TV deal years back.


I used to be a HUGE Jericho fan back in the day, but he's gotten too full of himself not to mention he's a closet MAGA-tard.
The allegations and him getting out of shape again doesn't help.
That being said, I can understand why Jericho is the highest paid guy in the company.
Like you mentioned, he was instrumental in AEW getting their TV when they launched.
He is still arguably the most well-known mainstream talent in the company and means a lot when it's time to renew their TV deal.

The problem with Japanese wrestlers coming to US wrestling promotions is that the wrestling that they're doing for American audiences is VERY watered down! So an Okada coming to AEW, hell even a WWE will be a big deal at first but as matches go on, nobody will care. Because those matches have no appeal and don't live up to the hype of how they came in. Brotha @EPDC talked about Jay White's debut in AEW and how everybody told him he would be a good heel (myself included) and he's been shyt!!! What he was doing in NJPW is not the level he's doing in AEW. If you took his AEW matches and his NJPW matches, you'd think the AEW ones were his earlier work. For what it is, it's good, but the expectation of the hype they bring isn't there.

Shinsuke was a MONSTER in NJPW because how stiff they work. You watch Ibushi versus Okada and it's like they tried to KILL each other. I think he'll have three good matches. One with Kenny, Danielson and Moxley (MAYBE Jay White) Dave Meltzer will blow a load for each.

The problem with that style of wrestling is that it eventually breaks down the body of talent doing all that "strong style".
Look at Omega. He's barely 40 and it looks like his body is breaking down due to the way he wrestles.
Bryan Danielson, the same thing.
These older Japanese guys come over on AEW now and look like they can barely walk.
So I don't blame a promotor, who has money invested in the talent, telling these Japanese guys to "water it down" here.
