The Wrestling Topic

Still has some trash and they need to dim the lights during matches but it's developing stars better than the old NXT did.
 
Her elbows are awful, why does she kick her lower body so high into the air? that's way too dangerous.
 
Still waiting to see what the controls are as they will make or break this game for me.
I like NONE of the previous wwe games controls minus No Mercy and the GC games.
 
That first elbow is a botch but a lot of them are perfectly delivered
A few of them look botched to me, you can't have proper control when you throw all of your weight up higher than the rest of you like that.
 
Always been a fan of her elbows, I know it's probably stiff but nobody complains about Finn Balor's finisher so 🤷‍♂️
His finisher looks terrible and I wish he'd change it, you have to be so careful with it that to me it always comes off looking fake and dangerous at the same time.
 
Enjoyed the RR show other than the husband and wife tag match and most of the ladies rumble. Reigns and Rollins was pretty good and I liked the ending, Rollins gets on my nerves so I was happy to see that lol. I think most knew what would happen with the Rumble once the Lesnar/Lashley match ended but it was still well done. I think Lashley may have been hurt because he would not take those Germans properly, he kept turning so he landed on his arm instead of his shoulders.
 
Gameplay wise I'm getting a it feels the same as previous games vibe.

They need to release some gameplay videos before I consider buying this.

to me the 2 rumble matches were some of the worst

there wasn't many angles, and there was way too much downtime. Did brock really need to win the RR to get title shot lol

i absolutely loved Seth doing the shield gimmick

Yeah Seth doing the shield thing played into the story they were telling really well, I was just glad to see him get beaten down at the end lol. As far as Brock winning I do think that had to happen, it was a continuation of what happened earlier in the show and it gave them a legit reason to make him Reigns opponent at Wrestlemania. I would like to see Brock and Lashley have a longer match with no outside interference at some point, the bit they did was better than I thought it was going to be.

I do agree that overall the RR matches weren't great, I thought the women's was far worse than the men's mainly due to the sloppy work.
 
Don't see why Brock needs that Rumble win? Just have him winn a number no contender match(chamber) and face roman. Women's match had some good bits but pretty forgettable apart from RR return.

So since Brock came back.

He got put into a title match just because.
He got put into the Day 1 title match last minute then gets added to the Rumble.. because?

More Proof Big E should have retained and faced Bobby at the Rumble. And Brock/Bobby at WM with no title on the line and no interference.
They have been teasing Drew VS Reigns for a while so just go with it. Brock doesn't need to be the one to end Reigns run.

Women's Rumble should have just used the women from NXT/205 rather than bringing ex wrestlers for 20 seconds spots.
 
I like how they are doing it, even though it was predictable.

Anywayz this is touching...



Big E, Cody Rhodes, and several WWE and AEW wrestlers visited Brodie Lee (also known by his real name Jon Huber and his WWE name Luke Harper) on his death bed at the hospital in Jacksonville to say their goodbyes and console his family last month. Brodie Lee’s widow Amanda Huber shared the news on the AEW Unrestricted podcast.


She called Cody Rhodes (who had been close with Amanda throughout the whole process, and who has the experience of having a larger-than-life father pass away) and Big E (Brodie Jr’s favorite wrestler) to see if they would be willing to come to the hospital and be there when she had to tell Brodie Jr about his father’s passing.

On the next day, December 26th, wrestlers including Cody, Big E, Shawn Spears, Peyton Royce, Tyler Breeze, and Margaret and Megha from AEW’s PR/Legal team (who had been very supportive of Amanda throughout this ordeal – the former who had brought food to her hotel room and the latter who invited her to Thanksgiving dinner) all came to the hospital to say goodbye to Brodie.

Cody, Big E, and Amanda went back to the hotel to talk to Brodie Jr about his father’s passing.

 
If one of them turns it should be Riddle and turning on the hometown guy in the Rumble would have been perfect but to make it for the title??

Nah.

Big disagree, Riddle is a fan favorite that people like to see. He's one of the only stars they've made in the last two years. Do agree the turn would have been cool though, everyone expects Randy but the story they're showing is Riddle is trying to be like the Viper, him turning on Orton would be great.

I guess it doesn't necessarily need the title, but would have been a cool touch.

Well Riddle has been put on the chamber match... and so has Brock. Seriously I like Brock but if he wins the belt back Bobby's win was even more pointless than it could have ever been.
The only guy who should be beating Reigns right now is Drew.
