Guest MaxPower27 Report post Posted July 31, 2003 I'm loving canning people and getting yelled at by their friends. What's that Scotty 2 Hotty? You don't like that Albert got fired? Well, you can join him! You don't like it either Undertaker? You get to job to Cena for a month before I fire your ass! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jimmy no nose Report post Posted July 31, 2003 The next EWR is selling for $34.99, way too much for me to be spending on a wrestling simulator, I guess this is the last one for me. How many of you are going to be willing to spend $35 on it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MARTYEWR Report post Posted July 31, 2003 Bahaha... Email from RVD: "Like...I'm in the main event. Whoa." That's nothing. When I beta-tested the game, and tried sending RVD to develop, he replied "Dude, development camp? Gnarly." Much like Dames, I don't think I'll have to spend anything either...

Guest wwF1587 Report post Posted July 31, 2003 the game itself is fun but i didnt realise that summerslam was set for august 17... that gives me two weeks to build a RAW/SD! card... i dont know how the wwe does it.. it just doesnt feel right rushing all the matches without proper buildup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kingpk Report post Posted July 31, 2003 Ok, finally got it. And MEGA kudos to Adam for the deal he's got for a retail version. Like Scots said, Adam is pretty much doing things like EWR for a hobby, imagine how hard he'll work on the next game now that he'll get paid for it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MaxPower27 Report post Posted July 31, 2003 Raw: Locked up AJ Styles to an exclusive contract, and have him currently feuding with Rob Van Dam. Also added Paul London to my Raw roster, and have him feuding with Lance Storm. Triple H is going with The Rock, who will win the title and drop it to Jericho. The Intercontinental Title is Booker T v. Rico Smackdown is Benoit v. Brock and Angle v. Rhyno, WGTT v. Chavo/Misterio and Eddy v. Edge for the US Title, which I may get rid of. Also, John Cena and Undertaker are feuding, and Cena already has a 6-0 lead in the feud, and has gone from an 86 over to a 98 in just two shows. Ultimo and Jamie Noble are feuding too, but I had to hotshot a Noble v. Ultimo match to make it for the cruiser title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Phoenix Fury Legdrop Report post Posted July 31, 2003 God damn you Dames, you are absolutely shitting all over my RoH matches! *1/2 to Styles/Red v. Alex Shelley/Jimmy Jacobs? 1/2* to Low Ki/Homicide v. Deranged/Slim J? *1/4 to Cabana/Kazarian/Whitmer/Quiet Storm? Shelley & Homicide have bad stats, and Jacobs has HORRIBLE ones (0 Speed & Technical). And a personal fave, Sal Rinauro, got low-balled on charisma. Not holding it against Ryland, since I'm sure he doesn't watch too many indies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheArchiteck Report post Posted July 31, 2003 Argh.....i started the game with my usual promotion, Renaissance Wrestling Alliance (rWa) Started them global at 10% PI.

The Dames 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2003 This was posted on the EWR board...and shows just how awesome my commentary can be. Goldberg vs Triple H. Match Background: This will be an iron man bout. This match is for the WWE World title. Goldberg has been WWE World champion since 01 August 2003. The Match: FIRST FALL: Boring brawling from Triple H is the cure for insomnia. Triple H DDTs Goldberg in a move that is so poorly executed, you can actually see that Goldberg's head didn't touch the mat at all. There's a two count on the pin. Goldberg ducks a wild right hand. Goldberg DOESN'T take a page out of Andre the Giant's book and hits an incredibly weak headbutt on HHH. Flying dropkick from Goldberg on HHH gets a two count. Hooks the leg for a two count. Side suplex from Goldberg. Could have been done a hell of a lot better though. Pin, but HHH is out just before the three count. Goldberg attacks with some poorly executed flying moves. This kid sure ain't Rey Jr. Triple H comes up with a right hand out of nowhere. Badly executed second rope splash by HHH convinces me that I can do better. Hooks the leg for a two count. Sloppy discus punch from Triple H barely connects on Goldberg. Pin, but Goldberg is out just before the three count. Boring brawling from Triple H is the cure for insomnia. Chop from HHH on Goldberg. Goldberg avoids a Triple H avalanche by getting out of the damn way! Goldberg hits a wheel kick on HHH. Goldberg connects with a crappy looking standing spinebuster. Does everyone use that move these days? The ref gets into position, administers the three count, and it's over. Goldberg pins HHH. SECOND FALL: Goldberg suplexes HHH to the canvas and floats over to a mounted position. Uninspiring brawling from Goldberg. Check them brawlin' stats, boy. Kick to the gut from Goldberg, who sadly, was even able to botch THAT. HHH takes a hangman's neckbreaker from Goldberg. HHH backdrops Goldberg out of a piledriver attempt. That took a lot out of Triple H. Flying dropkick from HHH on Goldberg gets a two count. Flying elbow off the top rope by Triple H, but there was NO elevation off the leap. Covers for a quick two count. HHH drops an elbow...but Goldberg moves out of the way. Goldberg hits a stump piledriver on Triple H. There's a two count on the pin. Goldberg scores with a shitty standing spinebuster. Hooks the leg! ONE...TWO...NO! Triple H elbows Goldberg in the face to break a hammerlock. Triple H hits a bulldog off the ropes. Cover gets three for Triple H, Goldberg got pinned. THIRD FALL: Goldberg uses some pathetic kicks in the corner now. HHH ducks a wild right hand. Goldberg takes a chop from HHH that just STINGS the opponent. HHH whips Goldberg into the turnbuckles...and the ref is crushed! Side suplex from HHH. Could have been done a hell of a lot better though. Pinfall attempt, but the ref is out and can't count to three! Goldberg powers out of a headlock. Goldberg hits a BIG clothesline for two! Goldberg DDTs HHH in a move that is so poorly executed, you can actually see that Triple H's head didn't touch the mat at all. There's a two count on the pin. Slingshot clothesline by Goldberg, who almost messed it up by slipping on the ropes. Pinfall attempt: ONE...TWO...NO! Triple H fights out of a grapple. Triple H hits a crappy missile dropkick on Goldberg. Pinfall attempt: ONE...TWO...NO! I would have bought that as the finish! Goldberg reverses a Triple H hammerlock. Triple H hooks up a suplex, but Goldberg flips out and lands on his feet, and quickly grabs the tights to score with a school boy pin! 1...2..3! The referee somehow missed the blatant cheating! END OF BOUT. My Opinion: Quite possibly the worst match that I've EVER SEEN! -***** PLEASE tell me that you did this on purpose! PLEASE. A negative five star match is not something you just...DO. This was probably the worst thing I've ever seen this side of Diesel vs. Mabel from Summerslam '95. I must now go and gouge out my eyes, thank you very much. Goldberg was an Evil Clown and HHH was a Valley Girl. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kingpk Report post Posted July 31, 2003 My Opinion: All you deserve for this is *. That DOESN'T mean that you're a deputy or a cop or whatever. Huh? Oh, and I gave Paul London a nice debut: a time limit draw with Spanky (*** 1/2 from Dames) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest chirs3 Report post Posted July 31, 2003 Question, since I'm at work and can't test this. Do gimmicks actively effect a match rating? Like in your example above, Dames, (hilarious, by the way), if Goldberg were an animal and Triple H a... not Valley Girl, evil genius or something, could it have cracked -***? Or do gimmicks only have to do with overness, charisma, etc? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jimmy no nose Report post Posted July 31, 2003 Haha that's some good commentary from Dames there. I just looked at Scott Keith's mailbag and he said that Ahmed Johnson is the worst politician in wrestling. Why doesnt Dames get his own column? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dames 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2003 Eh, I didn't ask for it. Kingpk, the * joke is a bad one, I'll admit...but it probably went over most people's heads. It kinda resembles one of those cheap badges that you see in westerns when someone is made sheriff. The gimmicks do affect the crowd heat... Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
