Use Your Illusion

This reeks of a set-up. I wouldn't put it past McMahon to purposely try to out-smart the Smarks by 'leaking' information and pretending to be upset about while, at the same time, concealing the true plan for Wrestlemania XX. Or maybe I look far too much into these things. *sigh* UYI

I don't think Staff morale really affects gameplay all that much, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. I find some commentators lose morale when they are not actually doing their job, because you may have lost a TV show and currently the commentators who worked on that show are now sitting on their hands. UYI

Michaels/Austin vs Hart/Bulldog is my favourite RAW match of all-time. That shit is literally bell to bell non-stop action the entire match. What a time that was to be a wrestling fan. UYI

His wife is legit pregnant...think of all the angles! Ric Flair is really the daddy Vince McMahon is really the daddy Jazz is really the daddy why it could go on forever! Typical sexist TSM poster. They wouldn't just restrict it to the guys, expect Linda, Stephanie and Rico to join in on the festivities. UYI

RAW needs Rhodes!

I think Brock is the only guy bad ass enough to say something as blunt as that and get away with it. Brock would tear Taker a new asshole should he ever cross him the wrong way. UYI

Not to mention encouraging Jindrak and Cade in their thieving ways. Oh yeah, I forgot about him making it seem that breaking the 7th commandment is A-OK. Of course, it was Jindrak and Cade, so it was easily forgotten. Agreed. The Klique has power to this very day to some extent, so Michaels not being taken out of the picture would probably have kept their influence strong. Although that "would have gone to WCW with his friends" is very possible as well. Considering that Michaels was surprisingly not mentioned too much in discussing the big picture of WMXIV, wasn't ever much of a draw as a champ, and three of his friends left, that might very well have happened. I'd always gotten the impression that he was tighter with Hall and Nash than HHH. Didn't he actually threaten to storm out and go to Atlanta one time when he didn't get his way? I've also read rumours (at the time) that Shawn was photographed in nWo attire and was very unhappy with the way he was being treated in WWF and wanted desperately to join Syxx, Hall and Nash over in Turnerland. Wonder if WCW would of handled him differently from Bret. I think it's safe to say that, with Nash as his best buddy, he'd of been given the preferential treatment he seemingly demanded at all times. UYI

All this Christian/commercialisation bullshit has absolutely nothing to do with, you know, the TOPIC here, so if you want to spend time writing paragraphs about something that, not matter how well you base your arguement, someone is always going to end up disagreeing with, then by all means go and start a thread about it. Personally, I think HHH would of been just as big as he is today, albeit not because of his relationship to SMH, but because of his friendship with HBK. I think we would of had (considering HBK could of lasted this long) a long series of Shawn/Hunter epics all through 2000 over the belt, with Rocky coming in after it was done. However, looking back on how HBK was, it is hard not to see him falling prey to Mr. Perfect syndrome here, simply because of his crazy lifestyle and in-ring wrestling style. UYI

I refuse to acknowledge myself as Paradise City. I'm Welcome To The Jungle fuckers, and that's the end of it. UYI

Magnum/Tully. Sure the wrestling sucked dick, but JESUS, find me another match with that much emotion and I'll give you a badge. UYI disclaimer: offer only available to son of God.

Seriously? Did you fail to finish Spider-Man because you lost interest or because you found it too hard? Not only is the tutorial hilarious, the game itself is DEAD easy, ala LOTR:Return of the King, and I had it beat in two days without any trouble. I gave up on Legends of Wrestling II, I was *amped* to play it and kill everyone with The Hitman, but found it to just pale in comparison to just about every other wrestling game I've played. The new one though, Legends of Wrestling:SHOWDOWN, that features DUSTY F'N RHODES (shut up) has me waiting with baited breath. I bet I'm disappointed again. UYI

Yes, but only with Arsenic Editor, a special little gadget that lets you fix annoyances, such as top stars getting injuries in the middle of big feuds and wrestlers retiring. Check the EWR message boards or www.ewessentials.com for the download. In an unrelated note, I've resurrected ....TURNBUCKLE CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING~! Good gooly Miss Molly, Dustymania is a runnin' wild if you weeeeeeeel. Amen, Big Dust. UYI

Holy crap, that's a truly awesome concept. That end spot would defintely add the many highlights of the Rumble. SOMEONE HIRE THIS MAN!

Ahem. There's American logic for you all. UYI I find the "American" in your sig to be more offensive. Don't act like this is a grave injustice, as I'm sure that's the way many of you feel. He'll still spend like fifty years incarcerated or what not. I guess most people here believe that prison is used more for punishment as opposed to rehabilitation. What's offensive about Michael Jackson?

Talent-ardo Health-angelo Heat-atello Smarks-ael. WOW. ... No comment. UYI

Ahem. There's American logic for you all. UYI

By all logic, Jake Roberts should of been dead 10 years ago, the fact he still breathes today is bigger than Christ walking on water. Same with Funker, both men will outlive every person in this thread. ...by 50 years. UYI

Both great, dramatic and captivating matches, Jericho/Hunter being my personal favourite of the two mentioned. Scary to think how awesome Triple H used to be. UYI

As with all three Terminator movies.

Why the fuck did Bruce Almighty make so much damn money? It was average, at best. I'm also happy T3 made a substantial amount, the movie was fun as hell to watch, despite a few glaring plot holes here or there. UYI P.S Speaking of sequels, add Spidey Part II to that list.

Sounds much like their anti-classic at Superbrawl 8. I'm astonished this shit out-drew HBK & Hunter Hearst Helmsley breaking every kayfabe rule there is and making for the most exciting TV in years as D-Generation X. Hogan is so, so very bad. UYI

Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch. 20 minutes? PUSSY I fought Rocky for ONE GOD DAMN HOUR before that tough bastard decided it was time to call it a night. UYI It took Trips 50 mins to put down Brock. Funny that, I was Triple H as well. Did you go the sledgehammer route as well? I find that works very, very well, and for some reason I get a great deal of satisfaction out of it. I'm scared. UYI

As if Hunter would let THAT happen.

So in order to 'give it the proper build up it deserves', won't they need to abolish, to some extent, the brand extension to build heat between the opposing wrestlers? Hypothetically: Triple H vs Chris Benoit Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar The Undertaker vs Kane All RAW vs SD! matches, meaning the brand extension becomes meaningless if they choose to go along this road. UYI

My money is still on Chris Benoit pulling an all-nighter and taking out the Rumble. Regardless of what the rest of you think, I'm pretty amped for Goldberg/Lesnar. UYI
