Barney's prayer was top notch. Also, Jack Arnold as Marshall's boss is great.

Split~!

The waiting game sucks, let's play Hungry Hungry Hippos. The only picture I've ever seen of Agent showed him as a skinny lad with a pink shirt. I considered the EHME thing under the "Agent Tribunals" blanket.

From the United Kingdom. Batista demands a heavyweight title rematch with Jericho. (Pro Wrestling)

Yeah, but only at PPVs, which is cool. I don't know if that's a story mode exclusive though. The thing that pisses me off is to get I need to play Undertaker's deal again - or at least to the . A fairly minor thing but I got a huge kick out of putting people on the correct rosters with the right heel / face alignment, including firing Palumbo, London, Cade, Murdoch, etc. to "Free Agent" status. Simple fun but part of an excellent presentation package. Speaking of presentation, I like that they've done two things with the menu screens - added wrestler themes and added a "skip track" option. On the subject of music: I hate Jericho's album theme. Well, it's ok, but he never used it on TV and his actual theme is better. With Kane's theme, I wonder if they didn't bother licencing the track or just threw in his old theme as a last minute deal when he dropped it on TV. If it's the former, it worked out. I suppose I can just change Jericho's theme myself though!

I assumed it was something like that. Are these listed anywhere in the game (outside of the movesets) or is it all guesswork?

I actually did the "beat Finlay faster than Santino" deal but got no acknowledgement for it. Maybe because I changed difficulty? I can probably go through the movesets myself when I get home to figure this out, but how do you do an alternate running attack (I think I had this problem last year too but I forget the answer)? Taker not doing his leaping clothesline in a video game seems wrong. I tried all eight possible turnbuckle grapples and none of them did Old School, that seems odd.

I don't know, can you? I only made one (then took a screenshot from it). I look forward to making more. Basically, I love plastering large graphics (POW!) on the screen. If you can find it on the video list, it's called "Super Santino".

I agree, but FG had line o the night with Lincoln's neighbour saying "Yeah, I used to have a guy for that. Dick" when Abe told him his lawn needed attention.

The death of Vader.

Lovable loser Kirk Van Houten. Great stuff there. That entire episode with the divorce is great (Marge hiding the Allied Biscuits, I believe the above "Stoner's Pot Palace is from the episode, etc.). Kirk: I sleep in a racecar. Do you sleep in a racecar? Homer: No I sleep in a big bed with my wife. As for my pick, after some soul searching on which of the two potential candidates I had in mind for round 4, I'll go with...: (sorry, this is the best image that came up in the search) The Iron Yuppie! Tonight! Dr. Hillbilly versus the Iron Yuppie in a Texas Deathmatch, where one man will actually be unmasked and killed! In the ring! Homer: I hope they kill that Iron Yuppie.

Funny because Otto was by Gil back-up.

Hooray, my screengrab of Mark Henry looking scared as hell when Santino is about to give him the World's Strongest Slam is currently ranked as #32! Undertaker's story is hilarious. It's the "Magic Wand" story (which was just a dream) times a million. . In the back of my head this concept seems like it may have already been used in 2008, but it's really neat how the commentary often discusses previous storyline elements during your matches.

Otto Mann is part of the best sign gag in the show's history: *Exiting the cookware store known as "Stoner's Pot Palace"* "Man, that is flagrant false advertising!"

Agent Tribunals.

bob_barron is friend to all, though.

Well it is true we are all online persona gimmicks in one way or another. Do you think Bob Barron is really a short Jew who begs on the streets of NYC for autographs? Hell no, he's 6'2" telecommunications expert for AT&T. He's never once stepped foot in the big apple.

Did you do a Mania Marathon or something? I reserve those for February/March. Outdoor events look great (this is why I actually enjoy Mania IX) but there is too much bad potential for WWE to run them often. Then again, they took the chance their biggest show of the year would run outdoors without a hitch - twice - so I guess they figure with all their safeguards it's cool rain or shine.

I must make a complaint off the bat though. I ran Santino through a KOTR tournament just to see the zany ceremony at the end, but it's been cut out. That was hands down the best part of 2008 - watching Umaga or Khali (basically anyone you want to make look out of character and silly) bebop around in a crown and robe while a diva acted as his queen.

Why are you even treating him seriously?

Saying "Untrue" was biting satire on my part (though I once saw a listing for the program calling it that).

Well she looks ok in pictures.

The fact he's added double posting to his character traits makes him that much more annoying. However, his line in the Box Office totals about "The Obama Factor" made me laugh.

Hey al, can you mod it up and do the update for CG now that we're into round 3 and Rando is OTC?

Plus his new kids (though he's only the father of the one who can't adlib and the one who can't do something else I forget) introduced in "Yokel Chords": Whitney, Jitney, Dubya, Incest, Crystal Meth, International Harvester, and Birthday
