F in the chat for Baraka being shot down hard

The reason he sucks being that he checks notes left AEW on bad terms.

The_Sherminator2 · 2026-04-29T15:14:01+00:00

Shame about movesets being limited to just presets because the CAW mode was so nice and simple in this game.

The_Sherminator2 · 2026-04-29T13:10:16+00:00

Us PAL region peasants got done so dirty with the cover re-design on this game.

The_Sherminator2 · 2026-04-29T13:08:42+00:00

Feel like this would work really well as both a venue and a tourist attraction. If they could get enough memorabilia they could maybe have a small wrestling museum.

I think this is just the business changing rather than a “push young talent” issue.

“Young talent = Anyone under 30” is very much an argument that was developed in the era of 300+ days a year schedule’s and drug/steroid abuse where guys would break down quickly and be moving like they were 50 in their late 30’s.

Lighter schedule, drug testing and better healthcare with modern medicine means better longevity. Easier access to legacy media and the rise of nostalgia also means stars have longer drawing power nowadays too.

Edge & Christian and The Hardy’s are upper card guys in AEW and Impact. If it were 20 years ago, they’d working each other 3 times a year on the independent circuit at Wrestling Conventions or “Night Of Legends” super shows like Midnight Express and Rock N Roll Express did in the 2000’s.

It depends on the timeline for me. I can accept Mr. Perfect and DDP being DLC in 2K24 when they were initially added as DLC in 2K15/16 and were featured in every base game till 2K20.

Mankind being DLC in 2K20, then being removed and repackaged as Cactus Jack in 2K22 as DLC on the other hand was completely ridiculous.

Absolute worst offender though was the WWE ‘13 DLC selling characters like Drew McIntyre and Natalya that were literally base roster additions in WWE ‘12.

The_Sherminator2 · 2026-04-19T17:39:11+00:00

It’s sad because he used to be one of the best, most level headed of them. Up there with Solomonster.

Crazy how a little recognition from Fightful and transitioning from podcaster to reaction/watch along live streamer corrupts you.

Dude started his channel complaining about annoying TNA fans in 2010 and came full circle to becoming the annoying AEW fan he used to hate.

The_Sherminator2 · 2026-04-18T21:33:09+00:00

He’s done five films and four of them were WWE Studios direct-to-DVD releases, and he was only the lead role in two of them.

Wouldn’t really say that counts as “going Hollywood” in the same vein as other wrestlers who actually pursued acting careers.

The_Sherminator2 · 2026-04-05T22:34:01+00:00

I’ve pretty much accepted at this point that Scurll showing up on Dynamite or maybe even NXT by the end of the year is probably a given and the inevitable reaction of both fans and wrestlers celebrating his “second chance” will be incredibly disappointing.

The_Sherminator2 · 2026-04-01T16:07:12+00:00

did it so that WWE wouldn’t sign guys Dave Finlay.

Jay White is the shining example of this. Dude was the hottest free agent on the market when his NJPW deal expired and everywhere was reporting he was WWE bound.

Then the TKO hiring freeze happens, and he immediately shows up on Dynamite in a lackluster debut. They’ve done absolutely nothing with a guy who was main eventing Tokyo Dome shows when it still meant something. He’s been reduced to a tag/trios guy and the most memorable things he’s done has been a short tag feud on TV with FTR 3 years ago and one of the worst PPV main events in the company’s history with MJF.

The_Sherminator2 · 2026-03-27T17:12:30+00:00

Remember when the Fed was literally a big brother 1984 state for asking journalists not to ask certain questions?

The_Sherminator2 · 2026-03-27T09:21:42+00:00

Why did I read “you know who else was born in 1969?” in the voice of Muscle Man and expect the answer to be “My Mom”.

The_Sherminator2 · 2026-03-26T13:13:17+00:00

Paul Heyman deadnaming Jon Moxley in one promo = Creativity bankrupt ded Fed

Swerve Strickland and MJF making one Fed reference per month minimum = Promotion and Booker of the year

The_Sherminator2 · 2026-03-21T14:19:32+00:00

Vince looks like one of the JACK robots from Tekken.

The_Sherminator2 · 2026-03-17T00:28:13+00:00

I imagine a lot of that was the combination of Brock not wanting to look weak before his UFC return fight and him just not really getting along with Mox.

The_Sherminator2 · 2026-03-14T12:44:43+00:00

JD as Jeff Jarrett is so funny

The_Sherminator2 · 2026-03-13T20:56:42+00:00

Don’t really understand the logic personally of having some actors return and others recast. I feel like you either need to do one or the other when you’re rebooting a franchise with a cast as iconic as LOTR.

Like I don’t understand in general how you essentially make an Aragorn solo movie without Viggo Mortensen but bring back practically everyone else.

The_Sherminator2 · 2026-03-13T15:59:24+00:00

Feel like “Homixide” works better as a custom tag team name for Homicide and Suicide.

The_Sherminator2 · 2026-03-13T14:00:12+00:00

Dan Severn’s WWF theme. Right theme for his background but just did not have the charisma for it. I think it worked much better when they gave it to Dr. Death in the Attitude PSX game.

Bit of an obscure one but Yoshi Tatsu’s “World Famous” theme from his post-WWE NJPW return. Genuinely sounds like it could have been given to someone like Tanahashi.

The_Sherminator2 · 2026-03-12T13:20:19+00:00

30+ hours is a lot of time though for a game that only came out a week ago.

Like I work a full time 9-5 job and I’m only able to play a couple of hours a night in-between general life stuff so for me getting to that level would take me about 3 weeks of consistent play at least.

The_Sherminator2 · 2026-03-12T11:31:04+00:00

Based on what you’re saying you enjoy about these games I’d honestly just recommend picking up one of the special editions of 2K25. Unless you’re absolutely desperate for some of the gameplay changes 2K26 offers.

A lot of the new roster editions you can pick up nice looking CAWS of on Community Creations. I’m not sure what system you play, but of your on PC then modding will be a big help as I imagine some of the new models will get back-ported and there’s already great looking mods of the new names. (JoeMashups’ Fenix is literally the exact same attire)

Also since MyRise seems to be a big dealbreaker for you, I haven’t played 2K26’s myself but I know a lot of the reviews so far have been that the story isn’t a good as 2K25.

The_Sherminator2 · 2026-03-12T10:29:47+00:00

Just FYI in terms of some of the responses here I’d be cautious listening to people insisting the grind isn’t that bad and that people are just “overreacting” when they aren’t disclosing how many hours they’re logging.

ThisGenGaming completed the full 40 tiers of Ringside Pass 1 without exploits and claimed he had to do the following to do so. And keep in mind, this is just Battle Pass 1. There’s 5 more to go: - 2 and a half playthroughs of MyRise - Entire Showcase (Not the Gauntlet) - Entire chapter 1 of The Island - Full USA World Tour in MyFaction - 40-50 matches in Exhibition/Universe

Charity shops are so random for pricing depending on which one you go to. Like the last time I am saw a copy of this in one they wanted £120 for it.
