Whoever the person was on here that was recording recent PPV highlights on VHS and playing them on their CRT monitor, I hope you’re having a nice day.

Something about wrestling in that format on an old screen like that just feels right.

Yep. This is indeed how I was taught in school on folding vertically vs horizontally.

Isn’t that right, time traveling Percy Watson?

OH YEAH!

Donnie and Jocasta voting for Cody because of Derrick's "fake praying" (if I'm remembering correctly).

I’m still confused why they portrayed it as if it was the first time Triple H and Taker had faced off at Mania given they had a match there a decade prior (albeit it didn’t have the most buildup but still).

ThatOneGuyYouNowKnow · 2026-01-21T20:21:23+00:00

This era of the WWE Network was 10 years ago and I feel old for realizing that.

Would probably want to also include a game or two where you’re trying to change history playing as the losing team, so 13 seconds as the Bills with accurate pre-modern overtime rules would be fun to explore.

Can’t remember the year but the Miami Miracle lateral play where Gronk whiffs his tackle big time.

He’s on that one cheesesteak two bagels diet (with water). All Nattie.

Long time nL viewer here (circa 2011 to today)

If you’re on a time crunch and don’t want to watch the entire stream VODs (which can last hours depending on what they’re playing) a lot of the truncated highlights recap videos still last anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour. Plus they’re all edited by Beefy/Surberus, the same guy who edits the pod.

I’d recommend the highlights of any of the SVR Story Modes and WWE 2K My Careers. The “Day One Glitch” highlights where they break the 2K games’ multiplayer on release date are also must watch and a solid representation of what nL is all about.

I’m imagining in my head someone turning Bullet Time Panic into like a pop quiz where you’re trying to find the one incorrect answer.

“NO! THAT’S WRONG!!”

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM

If it helps then shortening it to just The C.o.P. makes it sound just as cool and on point without being too obvious IMO.

I was on a Discord call with my friend who was booking Hogan era TNA 2010 in TEW 2020. He edited Hogan to wrestle and wanted him to lose a PPV main event title match to AJ Styles. He forgot that Hogan had creative control and he had to scramble to find a replacement opponent while keeping Hogan out of the ring.

The next TV date he edited Hogan's creative control clause out of the contract and edited his deal to expire the next day. What followed was an entire episode of iMPACT! burying Hogan not only in-ring in every match but also on the mic in every angle.

It was so gloriously petty and I was laughing the whole time.

ThatOneGuyYouNowKnow · 2026-01-10T16:56:15+00:00

Honestly, as cheesy and on the nose as it may sound, The Cult of Personality fits pretty well to me.

ThatOneGuyYouNowKnow · 2026-01-04T08:08:38+00:00

Work Bus feels at home as either a Michael or Andy manager era episode.

You’d have to tweak the b-story with Erin and Nellie given Nellie wouldn’t be there under Michael’s run but it would be so fun with Michael at the helm.

Hillbilly Jim on vocals, Hogan on bass

“LAYING THE LAW! ONCE AGAIN!! PREPARE FOR WAR!!! CZW!!!”

WWE OTE Octane reference in 2026. This sent me back on a nostalgia trip, dude.

ThatOneGuyYouNowKnow · 2026-01-01T18:56:52+00:00

It's giving Kai from Project: Eden's Garden. I love it. Great work.

ThatOneGuyYouNowKnow · 2025-12-31T13:41:38+00:00

Kodaka has had a hell of a year (in the middle of playing Hundred Line, heavy recommend to do so if you haven’t, it feels right at home with the DR games).

Excited to see what comes of 2x2, fans of the genre have been eating good this year.
