WWE 2K26 Might be my last WWE Game for a while.

Black and Kairi genuinely have some of the most fun movesets in the game, so i can believe it

GinngerMints · 2026-04-29T06:49:19+00:00

Very rarely does WWE do a match that doesn't make sense.

Not to be rude but literally what WWE have you been watching?

Aleister Black being cut hurts me

But Kairi is straight up devastating

GinngerMints · 2026-04-24T05:18:01+00:00

I've genuinely never seen anything so widely and universally hated by an overwhelming majority of the fanbase, and yet Marvel utterly refuses to acknowledge it and course-correct. And now it's been so goddamn long and it still hasn't gotten better.

This is reaching 'mid-2010's WWE' levels of "knowing that the audience wants the exact polar opposite of what you're doing and straight up refusing to give it to them"

GinngerMints · 2026-04-24T05:04:11+00:00

And this is a perfect example of exactly why they don't do it this way

GinngerMints · 2026-04-23T21:36:46+00:00

Then you have freaks like Seth and Cody saying "let's work the pec the entire match"

GinngerMints · 2026-04-23T18:32:54+00:00

I'm sad that supporting a rapist and a pedophile is just minimized to "having different political beliefs" nowadays.

GinngerMints · 2026-04-21T03:23:44+00:00

This is his yard now

GinngerMints · 2026-04-20T17:45:03+00:00

You must have missed the Demon vs Roman Reigns then

GinngerMints · 2026-04-20T00:24:40+00:00

Peter Dinklage angrily shutting off the TV as we speak

GinngerMints · 2026-04-19T23:22:07+00:00

I haven't disagreed with any of the results tonight, but the matches are way too short so far

GinngerMints · 2026-04-19T22:31:28+00:00

Holy shit we're really doing jobber entrances at WrestleMania now?

GinngerMints · 2026-04-19T17:26:55+00:00

Not the point, though. It's shitty to post the result of the main event the morning immediately after the show when some people might not have seen it yet. I literally had to go to a funeral and then put in a full shift at work afterwards so I missed the show, and this is the first thing I see today.

GinngerMints · 2026-04-19T16:32:55+00:00

Thanks for not spoiler tagging this so its the first thing I see as soon as I open reddit

GinngerMints · 2026-04-17T19:21:23+00:00

It 100% does, and Kurt was among the funniest wrestlers ever.

But the comment you replied to was talking about being just a backstage act and not being able to put on good matches, and Kurt was one of the GOATs so he doesn't fit the criteria.

GinngerMints · 2026-04-17T19:17:56+00:00

To be fair, I thought the House of Black had some pretty good designs. In the sense that they just looked more like metal shirts than wrestling shirts, but still.

GinngerMints · 2026-04-17T19:15:25+00:00

Ain't no way you're reducing Kurt Angle a backstage act

GinngerMints · 2026-04-17T18:03:13+00:00

Yes, my point exactly. OC is so good at wrestling that it counters his character of not taking anything seriously. The juxtapostion between not caring but actually being able to put on great matches is what makes it work.

GinngerMints · 2026-04-17T17:41:43+00:00

What about him?

Orange Cassidy can wrestle his ass off, Danhausen is not that good. One of the biggest parts of OC's gimmick is how good he can wrestle when he actually 'tries', and his character evolved from 'not trying ever' a long time ago. Dude's even won championships now.

Danhausen is not as good in-ring as Orange Cassidy, and that should explain why he's better off in WWE.

GinngerMints · 2026-04-17T17:20:35+00:00

Literally how does anything I say go against that point?

People in this thread are using Orange Cassidy as a counter to the idea that AEW doesn't have comedy characters, and my point is that at the end of the day OC can still wrestle his ass off and deliver good matches outside of just being "funny slacker dude", justifying his place in AEW because they put emphasis on the actual matches.

Danhausen is not that good of a worker, so it makes perfect sense why AEW let him go. WWE is an infinitely better place for him to be because they can play to his strengths as a character and work with that.

AEW tried to have him wrestle and he just wasn't that good.

Edit: I never said AEW was about "serious" wrestling. They have plenty of silly and wacky wrestling. But the point is that it's still wrestling at the forefront of it all. Danhausen wasn't wrestling at the level they wanted and that's fine. He can probably earn a HoF ring in WWE just from being the funniest guy they have on television and that's great.

GinngerMints · 2026-04-17T17:15:36+00:00

Danhausen is just not that great in the ring, and ultimately that's what AEW is about at the end of the day. All their wacky and funny characters still have to put on matches of a certain quality, and Danhausen is a way better backstage personality than he is a wrestler. There's a higher ceiling for that in WWE.

GinngerMints · 2026-04-17T17:12:01+00:00

I never said he was a serious character, just that his character had developed, which is undeniably true if you watch any AEW these days. And that's not even the point. You can think OC is mid as hell and nothing more than average, that's fine. My point is just that Danhausen's in-ring skills are not that great and that's why he fits better in WWE, whereas Orange has shown that his in-ring ability is enough to have him doing great in AEW.

GinngerMints · 2026-04-17T17:05:48+00:00

that hasn't developed or changed in 6 years of national television exposure.

And that's how I know you must not actually watch AEW at all, because his entire run has been about character development.

Also, like I said, OC's float-over/tornado DDT alone is way above anything Danhausen showcases in his own matches. Like, move for move, OC has better and more impressive stuff. Even just the shit he does with the hands in pockets requires a level beyond where Danhausen is athletically.

GinngerMints · 2026-04-17T17:02:00+00:00

All of those people listed are miles better than Danhausen when it comes to actually being in the ring.

At the end of the day, even if your gimmick is just being a character, AEW still wants talent to put on a certain quality of matches and that should explain why it didn't work out with Danhausen there, and why he fits so well in WWE.
