I agree with both of you.
But it's up to the WWE,

[DeviousOne]

I don't believe its the wwe that's not allowing it to happen its with his widowed wife holding a grudge. While it was a sad unfortunate situation holding a grudge is not gonna bring him back and the newer generation of fans will never know of him.

[claud3]

Here here mate. It's the way it is right now

Unless they decide for the 2013 H.O.F, this will continue for as long as both sides keep it going

Has anyone had a good play of WWE 13?

I really want to do a video review but my voice is pretty messed up right now - I've had a sore throat all week and I don't want to have no voice at all for when I'm working this weekend.

Basically, my thoughts would be quite brutal "constructive criticism" that I'd aim/tweet to WWE Games and all their people.
Having played it for some time, when you get down to it, it's the same thing but with the Attitude era slapped on it, which is the only draw of it all.
I've had quite a few problems (glitches) with the game that have been very infuriating.

Anyone else got any thoughts?

Also, this:

Remember?

[justintheman87]

OMG I so remember that. Speaking of WWE games I recently went back and played No Mercy for my N64. As crazy as it sounds I still claim it to be the greatest wrestling game of all time. Ladders, moves through the announce table, awesome grapple system, guest referee, amazing create-a-character, backstage brawls, and the list goes on.

I have yet to try WWE 13 though.

As crazy as it sounds, I didn't play No Mercy or WrestleMania 2000 that much at all. They were at a time when I was pretty crap at video games and I just used to enjoy watching my brother play them - he was a lot better than me.

I love the free range of customization though. Now you just get "Superstar Threads", and it's not all that practical if you want to use it in a created story and the outfit is just completely wrong. Back in those games you could literally change anything!

No mercy was an excellent wwe game and i loved the way the wrestlers were crazy ass over big... The gameplay was amazing at the time

Here is some news

As I’ve been noting on my Facebook page, there is fear in WWE that the company may start releasing some talent now that Linda McMahon’s US Senate campaign is over. The reason WWE didn’t do their normal “spring cleaning” cuts this year was due to the fact that Linda McMahon’s Senate campaign slogan was that she was a “job creator”. It obviously wouldn’t have looked good if WWE came out and released 10+ talents. Her opponents would have also used that against her.
We also know that there were some WWE developmental cuts this week and they are usually followed up with main roster cuts. We shall see.

so this is either going to still hurt the wwe or it might fix a few lose ends with talent

This could be an interesting developement anyone want to make some guesses?

I say mason ryan and alex riley

[claud3]

i count about 6 to 10 getting fired and new talent coming over from the NXT

[DeviousOne]

I havent watch NXT in MONTHS i have no idea who's on that show LMAO

[claud3]

well that makes two of us mate... I do not mind it and sometimes when i would watch

i would remember back when the old wrestling use to be in small areanas

[XMW]

I havent watch NXT in MONTHS i have no idea who's on that show LMAO

Re: your previous message; if they fire Alex Riley they are fucking stupid. Alex Riley is a STAR. He's still green in the ring but that can be helped. This guy was jobbed out for months and still got big pops whenever he had a match.
He's good on the mic and has a great look. If they do fire him I hope TNA hires him..

And you should watch NXT. It's no longer the weird storylines/crazy challenges NXT. It's basically their development league televised. Since you live in Orlando you should be able to get it on local tv I think.

I have to look into that however i do know that you can see them via wwe.com...

[claud3]

i love the fact they have changed the make up of the nxt now and done away with the storyline crap

to me focus on improving the talent so they can move up to the main roster

[DeviousOne]

I miss OVW they developed the best talent....Brock, batista, Orton, and john Cena! Im sure they are more but those are the ones that pop to mind when i think of them

[XMW]

Shelton Benjamin, Charlie Haas, CM Punk (not really developed my OVW though), Lashley, Mr Anderson, The Miz, Ryback.. list goes on. OVW was great for developing talent. TNA is lucky to have them now.

Im hoping this includes writing staff! please wrestling gods!!! LOL

[claud3]

Yep I totally agree with your post

Some writing staff must go and other people that plan the storylines and action in the ring

So yesterday I watched the Extreme Rising iPPV presented by Shane Douglas. ER is another attempt at reviving ECW and it showed in the main event.

The main event was Shane Douglas (still wrestling in a shirt because he's in terrible shape) vs Matt Hardy. This main event was a disaster. Let me try and remember this trainwreck.. There were no mats on the floor, just concrete. Hardy went to the top rope and a guy named Luke Hawx came out and shoved Hardy off the top rope, who took a goddamn hellacious bump to the floor.
He was never seen again in the match and for all I know could be dead. I guess they had to improvise so most of the locker room came out for a huge clusterfuck brawl for no reason at all.

Sandman's music hit and people just started dissapearing (no beer with Sandman by the way). Obviously the match ended in a no-contest and the show ended with Douglas outside the ring and all kind of people surrounding the possibly dead Matt Hardy.

People should really give up trying to recreate ECW. The shows are just starting to get emberassing by this point.

[claud3]

Matt hardy got badly injured at the event.
.. He was on a come back to the WWE after a court thing he went though.

He has not had it easy this year

But one good thing, he won a world title at an indie wrestling event

Some news on Matt hardys injury he suffered at extreme raising

* Shane Douglas vs. Matt Hardy was a no contest. Things broke down and there were run-ins galore. Hardy appeared to get injured during this.

-- According to sources, word is that Matt Hardy hit his head when he was shoved off the top to the floor by Luke Hawx during the main event of the Extreme Rising iPPV. According to several readers who were ringside, Hardy got sick after hitting the floor and appeared to be going into convulsions. While not confirmed, it appears he may have suffered a concussion. He may have also suffered an injury to his ribs, but that is not confirmed at this time.

Hardy did sit up before the PPV went off the air but medical staff asked him to lay back down. An ambulance was called to the building and Hardy will be taken to a local hospital to get checked out. As the show ended, Hardy was still down on the floor and the promotion asked the crowd to clear out as soon as the event ended.

The run-ins during the end of the main event were scheduled and not a reaction to the Hardy injury

Wow i feel bad for you that you had to watch that...

Suvivor Series tonight going to my brothers house to watch it looking forward to it hopefully im pleasantly surprised! LOL

[claud3]

Hopefully the WWE title match is not a case of interference from anyone. And I hope it's a clean match from start to finish

Punk will keep the title and go on to I guess lose it to the CENA guy
