April Wrasslin' |OT| The Spirit of the Ultimate Warrior Will Run Forever!

EA MMA sucked. I don't know why people tried to pretend like it was better than the UFC games. It was floaty and bad.


It had some funny dudes like Bob Sapp but yeah, I wouldn't call the game good by any stretch. EA should just going back to doing Fight Night games.

WWF Monday Night Raw 4/25/93

I'm angry drunk and ready to shit all over Crush vs Luger.

This is a new set of tapings, so Bartlett is gone again. Brain replaces him. HBK will be here tonight.

Damian Demento vs Mr. Perfect

Why are we talking about Bartlett wearing jocks? Fat piece of shit. Like he's ever done anything he'd need to wear a jock strap for. Damian's hair resembles the Wu-Tang logo. But he IS someone to fuck with, because he's a jobber. A camera man gets wiped out when Perfect gets thrown to the floor. Perfect takes his patented delayed corner bump. It's more delayed than usual. A loud LSD chant starts up. Perfect Plex for the win.

ibqsUjniUXBiKQ.gif


We are treated to "There's no hope with dope", an essay from a public school student that Randy Savage sponsors or something. It just makes me think of that episode of Saved By The Bell. THERE'S NO HOPE WITH DOPE! Holy shit, the Undertaker just appears right beside her to reiterate, THERE'S NO HOPE WITH DOPE.

Brain informs us he has some SCOOPS. A dude is going to propose to his woman. Is this dude Green Lantern Fan? Brain insists he's going to make sure the woman says no.

Lex Luger vs Crush

It's finally revealed that Lex has a metal plate in his arm and that's why every dude he hits gets knocked out. This sounds like a TERRIBLE match waiting to happen going by their WCW matches together. They should have a competition to see who has a shittier piledriver. Lex flexes those boobies, bruhduh. Crush nearly wins a test of strength until Lex throws some kicks like a pussy. What a piece of shit. Crush does some of his own and does a press slam. Lex does a lot of stalling. For some reason, the camera focuses on Lex's ass and dick, claiming it was trying to capture a look at his steel plate in his arm. Looks like they wanted to see his steel taint. Crush hits a shitty dropkick. These dudes make me want to shit. Because they are the drizzling shits. Crush gets rammed into the ring post. I wish my head got rammed into a ring post and ended up like JFK's head. Lex hits a powerslam. Have you ever looked at your feet and thought about cutting your pinky toe off? It seems so useless. I might get some bolt cutters and get rid of them. They have those stupid little nails and they seem like they aren't even connected to the rest of your toes. They're just off on their own world like little shit heads just taking up space and making your shoes tighter. Crush does his head squeeze. He lets go because Doink was up in the balcony. Dumb cunt could have won the match. It's not like Doink can do anything FROM THE FUCKING BALCONY YOU DUMB ASS. Oh my god, there's another Doink! Holy fuuuuuuuuuuuck. What the fuck is going on?!?! I'm too drunk for this. Crush gets knocked to the floor and counted out.

Tatanka ICOPRO ad. They've been using an out of date Hasbro figure ad for months now. It still has the Bulldog in it, despite Bulldog having debuted in WCW in February. We almost see the dude propose to his woman.

Mr. Hughes vs Jason Knight

What's funny about this is that Hughes would be Jason's heavy in ECW about a year later. I wonder how Hughes could jump from WCW to WWF with the same look and gimmick, but Boss Man doing the same nearly caused a law suit. Brain brings back Bartlett's gimmick of watching other shows while Raw is on. Hughes does some Brock back breakers. Brain tries to watch scrambled porn while burying the Atlanta Braves. Boss Man Slam for the quick win.

Smoking Gunns vignette. It's them doing cowboy stuff in the desert.

TO THE McMAHON. Vince conducts an in ring interview with HBK. HBK will defend next week against Hacksaw. HOOOOOOOO! HBK is sick of NYC and the Manhattan Center. I believe HBK claims two of the fans in the front row were seen in a gay pride parade in DC or something. This gets a SHAWN IS GAY chant. Vince can't ignore it and Brain tries to say they are saying SHAWN IS GREAT. Vince asks him about attacking Mr. Perfect at WM. This brings Perfect out. HBK takes a cheap shot and Perfect chases him to the back.

ibnD4jIGmw3W8g.gif


We're shown clips of Bam Bam trying to force Sherri to blow him on Superstars and Tatanka saving her. We're then shown Tatanka coming out for a match later in that show only to see that Bam Bam had attacked him and cut his hair.

Typhoon vs Von Krus

Fucking Vito. Both of these guys are FAT. Why am I watching two FAT ASSES? Where is Earthquake? Hacksaw calls in during this match and says he'd worry if he had a young daughter. But he does have a young daughter. What are you trying to say, Jim? Vito totally based his entire offense around Typhoon's balls. Typhoon wins with a standing splash.

Brain introduces us to the Green Lantern Fan and his girlfriend, Chuck. This has to be the GLF. I'm pretty sure of it. He asks Chuck to marry him. Both are virgins despite having been dating for 5 years. Why am I not surprised GLF dated a woman for FIVE YEARS and didn't seal the deal?

Next week has HBK vs Hacksaw and the Headshrinkers in action.

EA UFC might have sweet graphics but EA MMA wasn't really anything to write home about, is it made by the same team

EA UFC is done by the Fight Night team. I do think they're reusing a lot of tech and assets from EA MMA though. I can't say I have much faith in the game.

WWF Monday Night Raw 5/2/93

Shawn Michaels vs Jim Duggan WWF Intercontinental Championship

Hacksaw hasn't been seen since Yoko literally squashed him and now he's back in a singlet. Because he's FAT. HBK stalls for a while before the match begins. Once he gets in the ring, he bumps all around and bails to stall some more. Hacksaw follows him out and carries him back to the ring. After a break, HBK gains control with a rope stunner. Boy, Duggan really isn't good at all on defense. Does he know how to bump? I'm really not sure he does. I don't think I've ever seen him take a flat back bump. He bumps like a dude who was never taught how to bump. HBK controls the match for a while and it sucks because Duggan is really bad at bumping and selling. Duggan gets back into it. HBK sells the 3 Point Stance lariato by falling out of the ring. Duggan then puts him over the railing and wins via count out. Title retained. Duggan thinks it is bullshit and says he isn't leaving until he gets another piece of HBK. He throws chairs into the ring and we go to break. After the break, he's still in the ring.

TO THE KORTR REPORT. Mean Gene lets us know about the "first ever" *if you don't count the prior 6 years* KOTR tournament. Bret Hart is the number one seed. Lex Luger has also qualified. Oh shit, Gene is getting word that Hacksaw has left the ring. He's calling Jack Tunney right now! Superstars will have Razor vs Tito in a qualifying match, while Wrestling Challenge will have Hacksaw vs Papa Shango. I feel very updated.

Doink vs Kamikaze Kid

123 Kid! Belly to belly from Doink. STF. Stump Puller for the very quick win. Kid didn't even get to show any of his offense.

Bob Backlund vs Dwayne Gill

It seems like Hacksaw's bitching paid off, as next week he'll get a rematch with HBK in a lumberjack match. FIRST TIME EVER *On Raw*. Backlund Lift! One of my favorite power moves in all of wrasslin history. even when he does it to a whimpy like Gillberg. Bridging pin for the win.

Tatanka ICOPRO ad.

TO THE McMAHON
. Vince speaks with Hacksaw at ringside. He tells us what President Tunney said to him, which we were already told.

Another Smoking Gunns vignette where they shoot bottles, cans, and cacti.

Fink brings out Captain Lou Albano. I guess he's out to scout new talent.

Jim ???/Jay Sledge vs Headshrinkers

I couldn't hear the first jobber's name because Vince was talking over it. Cap buries Brain. Mostly for being a cheater. Are you fucking for real? You son of a bitch. You made a career out of being a cheating manager you asshole. Double Flapjack Norton to Black Jobber. Lariatoo. Gut wrench suplex. Black Jobber is thrown to the floor and Fatu does a completely reckless slam. The poor guy lands on his head/shoulder. We're informed that Yoko will be one of the lumberjacks next week. Fatu makes Black Jobber tag White Jobber. Spike piledriver. Lou speaks a bunch of straight gibberish claiming he's speaking Samoan like he used to speak to the Wild Samoans. Double headbutt. Double Stroke. Fatu wins with the Superfly Splash.

We're shown a preview of WWF Smack 'Em and Whack 'Em, with the Bushwhackers and Lord Al doing home improvement.

Kamala vs Rich Myers

Mr. Perfect will also be a lumberjack next week. Kamala dominates in a quick squash to end the show.


This shit is still on in 2014. Can you believe it?

Oh sweet, a new Hasbro commercial!

TO THE BACK.
Brain talks with HBK. HBK has a massive unibrow. Jeeeeeeezus, man. Pluck that or something. It's not fair to Flair HBK that he had to defend his title in a lumberjack match next week, but he has a plan.

Where'd you hear this? Everything I've seen is that they've built a whole new engine for this, it being next-gen only and all.
 
It's weird how delightful Stone Cold is on his podcast. He's basically always positive and doesn't talk down to the audience (or get pissy when outsiders use industry talk). I'm from and live in South Texas so I recognize the random location references also. It's a really great show.

Wrestling needs to be dumped. IT SUCKS. It all sucks. Fuck. I hate wrasslin. I hate everything. Super tombstones with no build up IS wrestling.

If you want more proof that JR is a poor interviewer, listen to his latest podcast with DDP. Just tosses in random stories or forced comments to get a word in. Pretty awkward to listen to for me. :-/

I think we were all spoiled by Austin. He was one of the first big wrestling names to jump into podcasting, and he is so good at it. Set the bar way too high for guys like Jericho and JR.

I find it really funny that he's actually kind of a liberal guy when it comes to social issues, too.

The gameplay demo at the UFC fan expo last year looked like EA MMA with a next gen coat of paint. Same animations, same striking combos, etc. Might have been placeholder stuff but I definitely think it's built on that foundation.
 

Plywood

NeoGAF's smiling token!
Eh, i think the purple is fine, but yeah no makeup please, she's one of the girls who doesn't need it
Besides the fact that I don't think it's her color(black & red might've been a better alt.) it gives me "just another diva" vibes. I thought part of her gimmick was anti-diva and with that came slightly BDSM/biker inspired wrestling gear. oh well

They're never coming back, are they? No more photos, no more matches, no more running around shirtless, no more being the light of AJ's life.

...Kaitlyn's never coming back, and I have to accept this.
