Pfft. There won't be enough titles until everyone has at least one.

It will be a glorious day when TK can finally announce that AEW has more champions than the entire rest of the world.

Things are looking dicey between AEW and FTR. AEW hilariously did up graphics for the Observer award winners (how’s that unbiased journalism going?). They purposely ignored FTR and Dax has had a sook about it on Twitter. He’s going to be doing a podcast on the backstage bullshit surrounding The Pinnacle. Shawn Spears commented by saying it was DOA.

What a fucking mess.

I’m almost bored of the mismanagement drama. Almost. Not quite.

A video of Fight Forever featuring Adam Page and Bryan Danielson came out. It looks fucking horrible.

We needed molotov cocktails, though...

And baseball.

The wrestlers don’t even look like themselves. Danielson has got the most weird-ass hair.

No one here seems to be talking about the ROH tapings. This thing seems tepid as fuck. It sounds like the ROH shows are going to be 2 hrs of Rampage-esque matches.

Nobody here was interested in ROH before Tony bought it, tracks that there’s still zero interest.

Havent really cared since Gabe left

It certainly doesn’t have the shine to it that it once had.

John Laurenitus rumored to be signing with AEW...was backstage at last two shows

That sounds very weird.

I have a question in regards to AEW’s June PPV: How many times can a forbidden door be opened before it is no longer considered forbidden?

Oh man if they hire Laurenitus ahahahahha

He got uninvited to a convention for being a problem. AEW is not going to bring him in with their political stances. And the fans will also hold their faces in disbelief because the evil joke, Johnny Ace, is with their company. I’m calling bullshit on this, but if it does happen…holy shit.

I could see WWE rehiring him. Did he do anything *worse* than Vince? But not AEW. I think this is just satire aimed at the state of the company.

Wrestling at the Cow Palace tonight. Hits me in the old school California rasslin’ nostalgia feels.

I dunno I'm imagining TK might be a little horny at the prospect of Laurenitus cutting a debut fedbad promo with veiled references to Vince being a predator.

Danielson's hair looks like it did at one point (before AEW got their TV deal though, so maybe that's why?) in AEW.



So far, it looks to be moving like it should. WWE can do their "photo-realistic" games if they want (I' invoking WWE because there aren't any other comparable games). Except they only scan about 20% or less of the game'sl roster, so it looks horrible outside of your "main attraction" stars.



This looks as advertised from the start. In today's gaming, seriously, it isn't all about "the graphics" for most.

Yeah, it's quick and snappy like a no mercy style game should be.

Although the animation on those diving moves looks a little too choppy. Buckshot looks great though.

I remember one of the old N64 WWF games basically just had a picture of the dude’s face on his video game body. It looked weird as fuck.

Man, I didn’t know that video was gonna switch to real footage after the entrance and for a split second I was like “WHAT THE FUCK…”

Saw someone on Twitter bring up the idea of Mark Briscoe and FTR winning the Trios titles and now I need that to happen.

Still think the titles are stupid but if anything could give them purpose for a while, it’s that.

You’d need FTR to appear on the show to set that up and that seems like a “no-go”.

Game looks okay. I don't "love" the graphics, but also that's not super important to me with rasslin games. I mainly want the controls to make sense.

Yeah, wrestling games lost me years ago when it went from “grapple and then hit a button or combination of buttons for a specific move” to “up, down, x, x, right trigger, x, y, b, left trigger, right, left, right, left, x, w, q, q, q, plug in old Duck Hunt gun and pull the trigger, y, right trigger = body slam”

The movements look choppy as hell. Graphics aren’t the end-all, but the wrestlers don’t even look like the wrestlers. Danielson’s hair is a perfect example of that.

Coming from a guy who hasn't regularly played video games since the Gamecube.... movements look perfectly fine and the two rasslers in that video look pretty good... Danielson's hair matches the weird-ass style he had around his AEW debut when I watched for a few months....

Hangman’s earlobes aren’t quite to my liking.

F-

Tbf, wrestling games largely went the other way until the most recent 2K game which put elements of those back in which was something I wasn’t overly keen on.

If this is just going straight to Game Pass and releases in the next 2 weeks it could be a really smart move. As much as I was impressed by 2K22 I can’t see 23 being a big enough jump forward to warrant dropping another £60 on. A few quid for game pass to play the AEW game might scratch that itch until 2K23 comes down in price (and some of the inevitable early bugs are patched).

I thought the thing about it being on game pass was just fake news?

It wouldn’t surprise me if this game ends up on the side of a milk carton.

I heard they changed the game title to AEW Wait Forever :lol:

Brother in Christos, I'd highly encourage you to look up some screenshots of prior WWE games. It's waaaaaaay worse than hair. When someone isn't scanned, it looks awful.








This is mostly gone. There may be a few things like RT+X, but that's as complicated as it gets anymore. I bought 2k22 on sale, it's the best release in a very long time.

My butthole is squeaky clean, drave. What the hell.

Stop lying liar.
