I think cause Kenny got Geta involved. Thats why everyone expects no mercy but It's supposed to be quite fast paced too. Tag matches will have some simple input = long double team move sequences (both Bucks irish whip Lucha Bros out of ring. hit ropes and tope Suicidas for example).

Agree tho @KingGuy420, WWE needs competition. i still like AEW way more but both are on fire right now as a wrestling fan, we win. Both games competing every 2-3years would be good, hell even if not, just having another wrestling game. Bevause let's be real, Impacts game was a trash bin from the start

I played No Mercy all those years ago and I had a copy that deleted my save data whenever it felt like it. So it might be a "be careful what you wish for" case here.

I guess I'm saying "Don't judge a book by its cover" which is what's happening. I've played plenty of wrestling games that have looked and played far worse (ex 5 Star Wrestling). Of course, the rare "good graphics and good gameplay" games exist. They are rare and celebrated forever.

I have a natural avoidance to AEW on superkick overuse alone (a personal thing, nothing more). Will probably still buy out of curiosity alone.

But its a superkick partayyy.

I always found the funniest aspect of wrestling finishers is added theatrics. Shawn Michaels does a Super Kick but because he stomps first, its super effective. 

Rock runs the ropes before dropping an elbow. a very common move. Hogan running ropes before a leg drop. Jake Roberts had a standard DDT, Kazuchika Okada has a ripcord clothesline... the list goes on

I always preferred ones with less setup, like when Lashley would just spear outta nowhere, or Goldberg sometimes. Even sometimes HBK would be down, get picked up but then BAM. Superkick. 

Most finishers nowadays require too much set up. But hey, i grew up watching wrestling since i was 2. I will die watching it no matter how good or bad it is.

@kingofbattle8174 Always a good choice!

Lol could be Kirt angles music

@Baranov_925 Ha... I wish! At my age (42), no desire for children, health issues and other factors, it's just not going to happen. I suppose it's meant for others (read: people who squander their opportunity like celebrities shun rehab... cynical much).

It doesn’t matter how old you are. Celebrities will get all the breaks. Kim Kardashian and Kayne West get the breaks. A lowly, isolated individual like me, who was never that handsome to begin with, was never going to land the chicks. 
 

I realized this during the MySpace era. It’s why the dating scene is an absolute joke. If you’re not a fucking handsome Hollywood looking dude fit to be cast for a reality show for national TV, that cute girl ain’t want nothin to do with you. 
 

Instagram and TikTok just hammer home the fact that you can get by on your looks alone. Just ask that supermodel from Los Angeles or that girl that looks like Pamela Anderson why she has so many followers. 
 

The difference in followers between Kylie Jenner and Greta Thunberg is staggering.

@AJ_Radio Shi, I don't know wheter @Icebrand1270 is celeb or not, but all men deserve some good 🐱

Personally I just think the 80s and 90s were better times overall. Sure, the murder rate was spiking in the early 90s, kids were listening to 2Pac and Biggie Smalls thinking the thug life was a good thing, the OJ Simpson trial brought mass name and shame towards a sports/movie celebrity, the Rodney King beating and later LA Riots furthered the gap between Whites and African Americans, etc etc etc. I’d still take moments of that era because I truly think it was the LAST time America did anything substantial.  It was the last time the middle class WAS the middle class, and the poor people still had a chance to move on up in life. 
 

Now in 2022, I see my 30 - 35 year old peers move back in with parents because they can’t pay the rent. Can’t own a home, that’s not an option for most of us. 
 

High gas prices? Expensive food prices? Can’t eat at that good restaurant anymore. Gas makes commuting to work a misery. I’m currently working on finding work remotely, because I’m done with managers and garbage co-workers wasting my time. 
 

College/university? Not an option for too many young people. Have to obtain those loans by the government. Prepare to spend years paying off those loans by the time you get your degree. 
 

At 34, my only real passion right now is gaming. Trophy hunting especially, although I still watch movies/shows on streaming services and watch YouTube podcasts from time to time. 
 

America is fast track on its way to collapse, and unfortunately, seeing other peoples lives fall apart is ultimately a sign of the times we live in.

@AJ_Radio Good points. But I think we veered off-course. My life was already screwed up by the 90s. No drugs or arresrs, mind you. But plenty of other things. Much of it blaming others for my shortcomings. My few friends left NYC and forgot where they came from. One became an activist, two became diplomats in foreign service, one travels the globe in zoology. I ended up on psych meds in 1994 upon entering high school (Age 14) and if you know 90s psych meds you know 2 things about them: they were largely ineffective and had devastating side effects.

As I said, people ask why I'm uncaring about the "crusades" they're on. Their chances are tiny for success and worse problems occur later down the line. My energy is "unpredictable" but it will not be wasted in such a manner.

There’s a lot to unpack here and I partly agree. However, this was also a time when the middle class WAS the middle class. The poor people had a chance to move on up. College tuition was far cheaper, I know because my dad nearing 70 years old went to college to study horticulture. Loved that field of work, whereas I had to pay a lot more in tuition fees. Inflation keeps going up but wages remain stagnant. I see the worried faces all over the West Coast. 
 

Based on what you’ve said, you did not have a good background. I grew up out in the countryside attending a small school and later a high school with only a few hundred kids. Literally the opposite side of NYC. 
 

My social awkwardness and autism would of made it unbearable for me to live and attend school in NYC or LA. 

“We’re lean, we’re green, and we’re mean!”

Yay!!!

I hope it turns out well for you. I'm curious though, it's never come up during past events? If so, seems like you have a clean track record?

Hope everything ends on a positive note for you, man.

@visighost I'm not perfect but I'm not exactly Steve Harvey... or Jim Ross calling AEW wrestlers by their WWE names (or calling Kenny Omega WWE Champion... Young Bucks made fun of him on social media for that one in retaliation for Jim Ross chewing out the Young Bucks backstage for "too many highspots"... sounds like AEW all right). Back on topic: I've made tiny errors but I haven't tarnished the company name in a major way. Since 2018 getting a good thought pattern together has proven difficult. I haven't done an event since 2019 and who knows if I ever will again regardless.

The good news is I talked it over and they are agreeing to stand by me for the time being. All I can ask for at this time to be honest.

i doubt theyd move Dolin and Jayne without Mandy who is the current, REIGNING, DEFENDING, UNDISPUTED NXT WOMENS CHAMPION (haha sorry, Mandy is awesome).

But i think it will mean Toxic Attraction will help screw over Perez, Cora runs to make a save and in the mix Mandy hits her bicycle kick finisher....1....2.....3. Still your NXT Women's Champion.

But i think it'd honestly be best WWE scraps the main roster womens tag belts. 

I just recently started getting into NXT2.0. While i still dont love it, not that i love WWE, there is still enough of it for me to enjoy watching it. Mandy and Toxic Attraction being some of my faves.

They all have a set server shutdown time. You don't get the online trophies, you're screwed.

Although they were probably trolling when they released WWE 2K13.

ooof. While i still have access to digital ps4, i took back my physical ps5 copy for full refund a few days later. Game is terrible. 

But technically I got it for free i guess with season pass. Deluxe gave digital copy of ps4. sold game back for full refund. retained all codes etc.

@MidnightDragon I'm with @Infected Elite on this. Shame that we have to be our own worst enemy in a world where lawmakers and media hate us. But that's the biz for you. Keep in mind that McMahon still has final say with storyline stuff even though he's not doing CEO things so don't expect the storytelling to get any better.

i mean theyre resorting to Brock vs Roman again. If Heyman doesn't turn on Roman now and Brock wins... then be prepared for a very long boring reign.

I hate how Roman is booked. Even Brock. But like, only WWE and Vince can screw up a company when you have so much top talent in Styles, Owens, Balor etc and you just feed them shit

anyways RIP Tim White, and Dave Hebner earlier in the week

I wasn't old enough back then to see that Andre the Giant match in 1988. Because of you mentioning it I decided to watch it on YouTube where he is fighting Hulk Hogan.

And holy shit. I think I just found out so many younger people loved the WWF back then.

There was more personality and talent in that one match they did than I've probably seen in the last two - three years of WWE, combined.

It was a different time and different generation. Different standards.

I'm at the point where podcasts featuring famous wrestlers talking into a microphone in a modern radio format is far more entertaining than the actual WWE product. Which is very sad.

Unless you're going to be streaming older PS3 and PS4 stuff on occasion, I wouldn't bother with PS+ Premium.

I’ve heard a lot about this game. Unfortunately I never played any of the TMNT games besides one NES game and the arcade cabinet Turtles in Time, later ported to SNES.

@AJ_Radio It remains to be seen if it's good or if it's just people viewing their thoughts through nostalgia... again. What I mean by that is most gamers see all "retro" games as very good or very bad rather than judging them on their own merits.

I played the first Arcade Turtles game and the first NES game (brutal even by NES standards but I got to Shredder... and lost... complete heartbreaker) and the first Game Boy game. I'm getting the Cowabunga Collection for both me and my brother (Age 37 and has a Switch Lite) so it will be good to see what I missed!

I played the second TMNT game on NES, which I heard was much better.

Stupid signal 

@MidnightDragon It got better once I turned off the system and then turned it back on. Then it added a "PS+ Games Library" app (or similar name). I'm such a tech dummy.
