A N T I -

I know as a consumer it's rough, but one would imagine and/or hope that, when there’s silence, it means they've got their heads down and are in the trenches working on this thing. We've been burned before so I can certainly see where some people are questioning whether it will ever come out or if it's just another too-good-to-be-true project that lacks the funding and manpower necessary to really get made and be a competitor in the market and have replay value when all is said and done. It seems such a project is always in place from generation to generation. When I was highschool or so, Pro Wrestling X was in that spot, and that ultimately went nowhere. This game feels so special and I really hope they see it through and it actually gets made and released within the next year or so.

I didn't delete them, but the server glitched and only a few of them pop up when you search my creations. It takes some searching but if you search specifically for the name of who you want, they should be there. Who were you looking for?

Can’t remember the last time I didn’t have fun playing a wrestling game that wasn’t 2K20. I expect to enjoy this release for what it is and what it’s worth. What’s the worst that can happen? AEW: Fight Forever will not go down as a worst-case scenario, I don’t think. Everyone is hung up on the graphics and mini-games and I understand that, as a detail-oriented creator. However, I trust that the people at the very top in charge of this game have settled on a gameplay style that will be a competitor with WWE2K, and competition is a very good thing in the wrestling game genre that’s been starving for variety for decades.

They could just get Ospreay himself to do the Hidden Blade, but I suppose it depends on what they need mocapped and if Ospreay would fit the bill for a hundred different uses that year that would necessitate flying him out again. It’s also increasingly difficult I’d imagine to find good indy talent that hasn’t been picked up by AEW. I wish they’d bring in Gringo Loco, Hijo Del Vikingo, and Ninja Mack to mocap their stuff and because I think they’d be all-purpose sort of talents but it’s yet to be seen. Seems especially hard to find a good big man before WWE does.

Streets saying there may be a shadow drop near All In. Still plenty of time to work out kinks in my estimation but video games aren’t my field so I dunno how long things take. All I know is that Murphy’s Law applies..

Time for this game to have a section on the homepage..

Nothing that really sets the world on fire but if it’s a new move, I’ll take it for sure. Did new moves for the game peak with the Double Rotation Moonsault?

Got a banger theme song out of it. Wonder how it affects the Revel With Wyatt Pack for 2K23, if at all. Wyatt is box office at the merch stand and I don’t mind his matches. He just doesn’t seem very good at working the supernatural angle. He was highly entertaining in the role that was cultivated in NXT, the maniacal Southern preacher. Wish he’d go a sort of “Rob Zombie’s take on the Manson Family” route and give some of the NXT kids something to do on the main roster alongside him. Give them the rub, so to speak.

For springboard 180 corkscrew moonsault from apron I will also accept this from Zoey Stark. She busted it out in her Raw debut and I don’t recall seeing it in the game..

Judging by the render used it seems I shouldn’t worry but I’m curious what era of Harley we are getting. It’ll be nice to have a proper texture of his tattoos for a change going forward too. When I would create Harley, I used the action figure for my tattoo texture needs. Same with Raven. The peacock is especially a difficult one to find a non-blotchy reference for.
