I like how Yukes has to "confirm" people that are on the active roster are in the game.

Like it's some kind of gift.

To be fair, they did receive some backlash for not having Sasha and the others in 2k16. Those four should have been in the last game, given they were on the NXT/main roster longer than some other characters who made it into the game like Joe who was DLC. For some reason, WWE apparently wanted to save the four women until the next game.

Confirming Cena is hilarious though, like it's shocking he's going to be in it.

It's weird how Goldberg is such a big deal in the marketing for 2k17 when he was in 2k14 with next to no fanfare.

He's probably going to be the big story mode this year.

I hope they have a win streak mode where you get to see how many consecutive wins you can rack up.

Career Mode was the worst with the interviews. Having to deal with her features that make me think they didn't even bother scanning her, the same redundant questions over and over. My CAW's bland as fuck voice, with four options to choose, always the same either a face 'I respect my opponent but I will beat him' to a heel 'he's worthless and I'm gonna make him eat the dirt'.

Then ending with "back to you, guys" or "back to you, Cole".

I seriously couldn't get through my favorite mode of the game because of that. It was the worst.

I still play a match every now and then, but damn.

Byron Saxton is amazing in that he isn't good at anything.

He has nothing positive or anything going for him yet he gets to call wrestlemania.

He's new to announcing. Give him some time.

I think he's got a fine voice and delivery. It would probably be better for him if he wasn't on an announce team with two other guys, both of whom are either openly hostile to his presence or are being told to use him as a punching bag.

Michael Cole has been with the WWE for 20 years and still sucks.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
One of these days he's gonna blow up either shoot or work.

Remember when they had a segment where Saxton is like "I need to get one of those Cesaro Section signs!" and Cole just says straight faced: "Nobody likes you Byron."

JBL: Bryon, if you were on life support I'd pull the plug and charge my iPhone.

Edit; beaten!

BWAHHHHHHAAAAAHAHA! It's crazy that Cole is dishing out the same stuff they gave to him. He's a good sport.

Hes been announcing on NXT since 2012. He also has years with Smackdown, Raw, Main Event, Superstars.

He started with ECW in 2009 commentating and was doing FCW before that.

He has had the time. He sucks. He has the job because he has the personality of wallpaper while Vince feeds lines to JBL.

When it comes to commentators I thought it was shitty WCW were absolutely going to ignore Gorilla Monsoon's death they only mentioned it because Bobby Heenan insisted on a tribute to him.

I'm really hoping Corey Graves gets a call up. I really enjoy how well he puts everyone over while still having some kind of personality.

I mean, come on. Austin Aries? You smark out for HIM?

I have to admit, though, while looking through #NXTDublin for why such a thing would happen, the "Knifey Spoony" chant for Peyton Royce was quite creative. I didn't even know she was Australian, and I think I've heard her speak.

We have indeed, she did a promo for the Women's Battle Royale that Carmella won a few months ago.

For anyone that might know the name: She used to be K.C. Cassidy

Byron ain't that great a commentator but I hate it when JBL and Cole just mercilessly shit on him, just seems needless and its also hypcritical when modern JBL is the absolute worst.
(06 JBL was so good, how did he fall so far?!)

Same thing used to happen to Striker, commentary vets more carny than anyone else.

He was created entirely so Wario would have a doubles partner in Mario Tennis. He's never appeared in a mainline Mario title. FLUDD is a better and more relevant Mario character than Waluigi.

Heat for Balor/Joe was in fucking sane. Non stop noise, Joe absolutely hated Finn was god Gigantic reaction for the missed Coup de Grace. The fact the title had changed on a house show had everyone thinking maybe, just maybe they'd do it for Finns home crowd.

So what if he's good? Why boo No Way Jose? Are you going to boo Bayley for beating Alexa Bliss? Are you going to boo Sami for beating KO? Sure he's not as "good" as Aries. This is not a Cena or a Reigns situation though, he has personality and is a legit babyface, not some overpushed douchebag who responds to critics in and out of kayfabe via homophobic insults.

"It finally happened. Thanks, in part, to going head-to-head with Game 5 of the NBA Finals, the June 13th edition of WWE Raw fell below the 3 million viewer mark for the first time outside of football season.

The show did 2.96 million viewers -- the second lowest for a non-holiday episode of the show since 1997, as there was a show in November that did 2.95 million viewers. The prior seasonal record low was 3.12 million viewers, and while the rating isn't out as of this writing, it should equate to a 2.1 or 2.2 rating. "

This is from your father Dave M.

And that is what they wanted with that. Sounds like you had a good time. NXT live has always produced for me and IMO is one of the best tickets in wrasslin.

Someone on twitter is plagiarising my tweets about NXT last night right down to the exact wording. They even claimed my fucking photo as their own.

Not happy about this.

The show did itself no favors last night. It was good but missable. They're also doing themselves zero favors by announcing the brand split so far out because that tells everyone that you can tune out till the brand split happens.

The twitter plagiarist has blocked me after I sent them a message about my displeasure with their activity and requested them to stop.


Sorry if this takes over my posting for a while, but I have an axe to grind, I'm on a fucking mission here to end this right now.

Meltzer comparing Alberto Del Rio being out on the ramp for the Orlando tribute as being the kind of move that killed WCW was just ridiculous.

Also realising the flood of jokes I have just opened myself up to by posting my twitter account on GAF.

Bring on the rickrolls (do people still even do that anymore?) lol.
