A lot of the action. A lot of the finishing moves. I was actually playing the game last night. I couldn’t sleep last night, I was so excited about today. I was trying to figure out what I was gonna do, and I was like, ‘I’ll just throw the game on and have some fun.’ For me, a lot of those finishing moves, a lot of our stuff was influenced by that stuff.
