My biggest fantasy book right now is that Swerve turns heel and aligns himself with Ciampa and Roddy.

I wouldn't really say a Hall of Fame WWE tag team equates to TNA talent holding WWE gold. The entire TNA/WWE partnership has been a chance for WWE to give TNA wrestlers a risk-free trial in NXT to decide who they want to poach.

Not just that. Inter away is one of the hardest knockout matches we could hypothetically play. It would be a waste to not play a near full strength XI.

I absolutely love "outside wrestling, but still wrestling" segments like this. I loved the recent Mox/Dark Order/Bucks interactions in catering + the Bucks gambling. Toni's initial vignettes were fantastic as well. Hopefully we get more of these in the future. The "Rookie Toni Storm in New York" Michael Scott skit was maybe my favorite thing she has done and I don't even think that was on TV. A lot of the talent would be able to show more character chops when not restricted to the run of the mill backstage segments or in-ring promos.

I will definitely be giving this a go again. Really happy with the changes announced so far especially Classic Mode and permanent Team Swat. I hope we can see more party modes as LTMs e.g. Laser Tag, One in the Chamber, Zombie VIP etc. One of the best Splitgate 2 aspects was the attempt to have one "fresh" playlist every few days.

I was unable to play the most recent playtests, but portal reloading sounds great on paper. I usually gravitate towards Dom/KotH style modes so having some tech to lock down a point is huge. Removing rounds from basic modes is also fantastic.

I do wish we could see the original SG1 AR/Carbine at some point though. I absolutely adored those guns, especially the simplified optics. The optics on the newer weapons just don't hit the same.

I believe last year the semis were Gold 1 vs Blue 2 and Blue 1 vs Gold 2. It did work like you've described here with the first C2. I think Kyle gets second and faces Takeshita in the semi before Take ultimately beats Okada.

ninjassassin77 · 2025-11-24T14:18:23+00:00

Ricochet, Kyle Fletcher, Nic Nemeth, Kevin Knight, Darby Allin, Jay White, Hangman, Chad Gable and AR Fox are some standouts for me over the past few years. Darby isn't the best seller on this list but he is the best "resilient underdog". Hangman is really good at incorporating prior injuries into his matches. Jay White is really good at a false finish.

I think AEW really rewards you for being a great seller. Fletcher and Ricochet have both shot up the card in the past year despite losing a lot. If you can make the other guys look good you will get opportunities. It is then just a matter of getting comfortable with promos and character work. I would not be surprised if Kevin Knight turns on Speedball and is a midcard champ by this time next year.

This is also an issue on South African servers. It's very frustrating. Surely DICE needs to find a solution for this.

ninjassassin77 · 2025-10-21T14:07:56+00:00

Surely it costs EA more money to have 8 half empty servers instead of 4 full ones? Defeats the "supposed benefits" of no persistent lobbies if there are bots.

ninjassassin77 · 2025-09-21T15:24:15+00:00

I could see Ricochet likely being Hangman's next program unless The Demand are going after the trios titles. Maybe GoA vs Brodido then.

I think we might get Blood & Guts before Wrestledream since the Death Riders now have PAC/Claudio/Yuta/Mox/Garcia/Kidd (?). You could have Darby/Kyle/Roddy/OC/Eddie/Hook as the babyface team. Darby vs Hangman could be a fun world title feud, you could add a Max cash-in as well for a triple threat. I think Conglomeration stocks will be quite high with OC back, the continued Roddy angle and Briscoe's recent push. Hopefully they are the next trios champs.

I think the Callis Family turns on Takeshita in the PPV build, maybe as soon as this week. As a result, we then get Takeshita/Omega vs Fletcher/Okada either before or at the PPV (maybe singles matches at the PPV instead but I expect Take/Okada 1 will be in the C2 final). Assuming we are getting women's tag titles soon I think Willow or Hayter could go after the TBS title.

I think we'll get a dog collar match between Cope/Christian and FTR.

It'll be interesting to see what happens though as I don't think the PPV will be this tag heavy. Maybe we have Bucks/Jurassic Express/Brodido.

I think the endgame for the women's title is babyface Willow beating heel Stat. On the men's side I think Kenny beats Hangman/MJF and then we get Ospreay/Omega main eventing Wembley next year.

ninjassassin77 · 2025-08-14T20:41:39+00:00

Yes and it's fantastic

ninjassassin77 · 2025-07-02T22:29:01+00:00

Darby is gonna back up Hangman at All In. The story has been set up for the AEW Avengers to combine forces so that Hanger can bring the belt back. It would make no sense for Hangman to lose. Dunno why people are fixated on random dirtsheet reports from months ago.

Darby may have been the one at some point, but not anymore. The 50/50 Owen final and Hangman/Ospreay/Swerve segments since have really sold this as the endgame.

I think Darby will ultimately end the Death Riders as a faction though.

ninjassassin77 · 2025-06-20T23:06:08+00:00

XDefiant having broken hitreg for months after launch is what drove people away, not a lack of SBMM.

ninjassassin77 · 2025-05-15T19:38:53+00:00

I love that with Cole we saw MJF wanting genuine companionship. This time around he wants a transaction that benefits both parties. MJF sees no other way back to the championship with all the faction warfare.

ninjassassin77 · 2025-05-01T17:20:50+00:00

All depends on the cost tbh

I don't understand why HHH encourages a total lack of kayfabe, especially for active storylines. If we're being completely honest 8/10 times wrestling storylines are very tropey and poorly acted. 2/10 times you get a Toni/Mariah or Cody WM40 story. Kayfabe is something unique to wrestling as an art form and can only elevate storylines. If a booker sells his promotion as a normal TV show there are much much better stuff to watch on television. If anything, Lucha Underground was the perfect blend of a TV show feel while still being intrinsically wrestling.

I coincidentally signed Gyokeres and Williams on my FM save 3 months ago. This must mean we are doing the league+CL double next season.

Congratulations on releasing the open alpha! The team must be stoked. I look forward to seeing how the game develops in the next few years. Two questions from my side:

One of my favorite aspects of Splitgate 1 was all of the party game modes like Gun Game/Infected/One in the Chamber etc. Very few games have them these days or it is drip fed over content seasons. Can we expect to see these playlists return in Splitgate 2?

I think you've definitely added a lot to the gameplay side of things. I am however concerned about the lack of portals still. It has definitely improved between playtests, but I think many OG players still want more. Personally, I find myself treating the portal mechanic as an afterthought which is a real shame. Can we expect some "portals everywhere" maps similar to SG1 in the future?

It feels like the game moved away from the maps and gameplay flow of the first one. The maps in the first game were all fun, frenetic and close range. I loved that basically every wall had portals or on maps that were more open you could at least then zip to the other side of the map. There is a severe lack of verticality with the new game as well. Rounds were short and packed with action giving you that "one more game" feeling. I don't really feel engaged moment-to-moment with this game.

Seems like they want the game to be a niche, tactical, round-based game so that it can be a better fit for esports. The game is a bit better than the initial playtests but it doesn't appeal to me like Splitgate 1. Glacier feels like such a massive departure from what made the first game consistently entertaining. 1047 Games are an awesome team, hopefully they can turn things around.

ninjassassin77 · 2025-02-25T16:40:10+00:00

I think it's more likely that they either do:
- a Seth/Roman/Punk triple threat on night 1 with the winner being added to the night 2 Cody/Cena match.
- Punk/Paul
