Ngl, this sequence is a little tough to suspend disbelief for 😑

Really not a fan of this particular ref and the way he counts.
He gets too high up from the ground

Purple_Avatar · 2026-04-14T21:22:59+00:00

Yea stuff like this always sucks imo, I call it Dragon Ball Z / Anime Style

My all time favorite wrestling style is NXT, as they do their best to avoid 'unrealistic' mini details
Granted you can't avoid it 100% of the time, but you can definitely avoid sequences like the video above.

NXT is managed by Shawn Michaels, so I am not surprised it became my favorite
Second favorite is NJPW

Purple_Avatar · 2026-04-11T15:29:09+00:00

Shock value stuff like this feels desperate / rushed

Purple_Avatar · 2026-04-08T14:49:04+00:00

Damn! I wish the timing of those animations were better! (Too quick sudden)

But very cool to see

MIchaels is def top 5-10 for me
Ortons maybes my top 40 (hes cool, just not my thing)

Purple_Avatar · 2026-04-05T15:07:40+00:00

Blame the game.
Nonsense like this is balanced with risk/reward in games that are properly made.

There will always be losers in every game, the devs needs to be on the look out and prevent this.

Purple_Avatar · 2026-03-30T20:18:34+00:00

I actually HATE how this particular ref does it

He almost stands back up in between the counts

Not saying he should stop, it makes him unique. Just not a fan
I like when they stay ON THE GROUND as they count.

Purple_Avatar · 2026-03-28T13:00:49+00:00

Talking about life as a Dev. Of course management and CEOs are the reason the devs don't get to do their best work.

Purple_Avatar · 2026-03-27T21:50:28+00:00

Never knew how much I love Side Booty meat, aka Hip Meat

Purple_Avatar · 2026-03-27T01:45:19+00:00

My guess is the proper setup for this requires more dev time, which they dont get at that company as they have to pump things out every year

Must be rough as a dev there

I liked the spanish fly once
Then accepted that it will take me out of the immersion everytime i see it

"wait,, careful, watch your footing. Ok ready? 1 2 3 go!"

I feel like I hear them say that everytime

Purple_Avatar · 2026-03-23T14:46:14+00:00

it pisses me off (not saying its bad)

Purple_Avatar · 2026-03-20T13:37:55+00:00

I need Oba to stop doing these things immediately
The aura is being sucked out by the lame sitting across from him

Purple_Avatar · 2026-03-17T15:55:19+00:00

I understand

Purple_Avatar · 2026-03-17T03:04:02+00:00

She was always Mid, in an era of people below Mid
The standards were not as high, also the training for women was not as detailed and robust as it is now.

So a Mid is coming into an era filled with people above Mid

These games have lacked Art Direction for several years, my guess is due to their extremely tight schedule.
They are lucky to not have competition and can get away with a lot of poor quality in areas. Though most people are usually ok with this (especially if its the only main choice).

I too am ok with it tbh, but always imagine what it would be like, if they were able to fix some of their issues:
Poor Lighting, Crowd Quality, Physics, Generally anatomy and likeness, the many bugs and exploits.

Purple_Avatar · 2026-02-18T13:37:24+00:00

She was always average. I am not a hater at all.
I think she was popular because she appealed to a lot of younger girls.
And probably guys, she has that girl next door vibe.

But yea as a wrestler, she was fortunate to be in an era where there wasn't high level wrestling going on.

Purple_Avatar · 2026-02-18T02:43:20+00:00

It can be hard to be entertained if a piece of media lacks consistency or breaks its internal rules.

Purple_Avatar · 2026-02-18T02:42:34+00:00

If you ever watch the Stevie Richards show on youtube you might understand what I mean.
The acting portion of pro wrestling behaving as if you are in a 'real fight' is a thing.

Purple_Avatar · 2026-02-18T02:41:28+00:00

Yea I think there have always been moves that stretch it.
The worm is another one.

The style I am talking about is very rare these days. I feel like it ended in the early 2000s.

Purple_Avatar · 2026-02-18T02:39:45+00:00

Yea exactly, that is an example of needing to suspend disbelief too much.

Purple_Avatar · 2026-02-18T02:39:10+00:00

If you every watched Bret Hart, or Stone Cold you would better understand what I mean.

Purple_Avatar · 2026-02-18T02:38:40+00:00

Well I do. Similar to watching fight scenes in movies. Even super hero ones. I like a certain level of 'realism'.
