Don't feel like reading 38 pages to see if this has happened to anyone else... I was playing as TNA, and for whatever reason switched back to Monthly PPVs hoping to get a TV deal. So I click, click, click Next Day ignoring the news, reading it once a week. I read the news and find I have 1300+ messages. It would seem FLI had become owned by Tenryu, and he deicded to shake htings up to cut costs... be releasing the entire EWR roster. As a result, RVD is now joining my company in Negative 1 months, and anyone I have under written contract is under contract for the same time period. Anyone else have this very strange bug happen?

Ah, yes, that was one of 2 reversals that was being complained about.

Well, I have a very bad habit of taking 2nd hand information from IRC without clicking on the link evidence they provide. I generally just check out the videos of entrances and finishers for people I wanted to see through this thread. The person told me the video was a link of Rey choketossing Big Show... but why would a choketoss be one of Rey's moves? Thinking about it further, I think he was complaining about the reversal animation for the turnbuckle moves... sorry for just jumping the gun without actually checking out the video while this HCTP hater on IRC ranted and raved.

Argh X2! It appears THQ has also broken the Weight system promise, limiting it only to bodyslams. Recent videos indicate Rey and toss Big Show aroudn with ease.

According to his book, yes.

His opinion on the show seem about right... the only thing I find odd is that when I e-mailed him asking him why he posted the Ric Flair DVD line up without giving an opinion on it (too few matches seems to be a big complaint with people I talk to on IRC, yet everyone here seems to be drooling over the damn thing), he said that the Blog was supposed to be free of wrestling opinions and he was just passing it along. Does this mean a Quickie Raw Rant in the blog only as well?

Argh... that 5th Ultimo video confirms what I had heard from others, that Warping is indeed a part of HCTP after we were promised moving your opponent around in the ring would be vital to hitting moves properly. The whole 'warping' aspect of SD! never bothered me greatly, but being told it will no longer happen when it clearly still will does. Oh well, should still be great, already pre-paid for the game yesterday (which, as has been pointed out earlier, apparently makes no sense, but hey, I like the fact that I've already paid for it and can pick it up whenever I feel like).

I found the commercials for the movie interesting, it seemed they were trying to hide the fact Fraser isn't playing Geroge by showing shots from the back and superimposing the picture of the DVD over shots of the front of George.

Me too. I need that damn 2003 Collectors Box!

I watched Rumble, No Way Out, and Mania for free at a local bar that had a strong wrestling crowd, but it has since closed down due to a court case against it. There have been rumblings of it opening under different (re: the same, but different for legal purposes) ownership. Backlash I saw at a the closest bar that was showing wrestling, but the amount of people who were there and didn't like wrestling, causing them to insult everything they saw, was very annoying. Judgment Day was skipped because I was working, and it was a new job that I didn't feel I had put enough time into to be requesting shift changes (and of course, the JD card itself...). Bad Blood was the first PPV I paid to see, paying the movie theatre price to watch it, Vengeance, and SummerSlam (which again I was supposed to be at work for, but swithced shifts with someone). When Unforgiven rolled around, I did not feel it necessary to make arrangements to not work, so I skipped that one too. So, in short, I skipped 2 shows this year. No Mercy is iffy, as Bad Blood was not a fantastic start to the theatre experience, and combined with cab costs home (since no bus service exists that late on Sunday and niehter me nor any of my wrestling fan friends drive), another place to watch PPV for free, preferably without harassment from non-fans, will be needed. If one is not found, we'll probably end up at the same place we watched Backlash at.

WO so totally swiped that idea from S_D

Before London actually signed with the company, they did a Matt vs London match on V-Lo. It was actually really good, and Paul had a lot of offense. He kicked out of the Twist of Fate and even did the London Calling (which I think Josh even called properly), but missed and was pinned. I was really surprised at how much offense he was given, but he was signed about a week or two later.

THAT's a main event? I'm just going to assume those are a parody of a line up.

Earlier, I noticed someone counted up the full matches on the "feature" and combined it with the full matches listed in the extras to say 10 of 11 full matches had been announced. I was assuming that the "11 Full Matches" for the DVD Extras were seperate from whatever full matches appeared on the feature that could be bought on VHS. I guess we'll know in time.

Going back to using In Game Models for the Vs. screen is a move I very much approve of.

That's your WMXX main event (and finish!) right there...

Someone who I usually talk with on IRC is really, really pissed there is only 10 matches on 3 discs, saying he just assumed there would be 20 or so. I tried to explain the match lengths to him, but he wouldn't listen. I heard from SKeith Windham vs Flair is 50 minutes! Having only seen the Rumble and the 2 Steamboat matches, I'm really lookign forward to this set, especially (and I hate to be so Pro WWF when talking about a Flair DVD) if they show build up to the Rumble match. It sounds like it's going to be in the vein of the Michaels DVD, with full matches plus lots of neat clips of the build up to the match itself. I also have this feeling that one of the six easter eggs will be everyone's favourite "A Flair for the Gold" segment... (but probably not)

"Rodney Mack suffered a knee injury last night. He will have a knee injury tomorrow to find out the extent of the injury." Credit: 1w I would think in this day and age there are better ways to find out the extent of an injury by getting yourself reinjured one day later

If Old School Taker doesn't have his old theme, I don't even see the appeal. Also, the buzz around this thread has been "4 Costumes per wrestler", but the FAQ certainly makes it seem like th enumber is from 1 to 3, like SYM. Is this only based on what's been seen so far?

As a Canadian, I hope this thread does awesome. However, due to work committments, I will be unable to contribute in anyway for the next 3 weeks, and after that I'm not sure if TheScore works very well on the TV near my computer (long story...). Best of luck though, Bif.

In fairness, people do change thier opinions about wrestling as they get older. I was a big Hogan mark in 1993, for example. I just find it odd that his old RSPW posts are by "Scott Alan Keith". Seriously, how many people do you know with 3 first names making up their entire name? His parents had a good sense of humour.

Actually I think a few pages back is some story mode info from Gamespot.. I know I was reading their explanation of it now and it's from a story posted in August.
