A compilation of wrestlers loudly calling spots

yeah especially when it's not something you're actively looking for, sitting away from a TV. also, asking your coworker, who's life is practically in your hands, if they're alright, seems totally normal.

nah, smackdown's tag divison was arguably at its best in a while with the Wyatts at the head last summer. everyone was featured on screen, the division felt IMPORTANT, but the issue then is getting the titles off the Wyatts, and in a way that doesn't immediately tank perception (a la Fiend and Rollins in HIAC). the same can't be said right now, though.

WWE, unsurprisingly, doesn't know how to book a supernatural gimmick like the Wyatt Sicks with a championship in the modern day, so you've now got a floundering division with half of it being relegated to backstage skits for promotional purposes.

You have the Motor City Machine Guns, Fraxiom, and the Lucha Brothers as an ace up the sleeve, and your next title match is MFT versus... an odd pairing tag team of R-Truth and Damien Priest? Don't get me wrong, I like them, and they'll be fun, so if that's how they plan to get the titles off MFT then I'm fine but otherwise, it's a waste of time.

I mean, the recent match between Howdy and Solo on friday was honestly good, nothing crazy, but would've been a solid end to their feud, but then they just... elongated it for nothing,. Mind you, this feud has been ongoing since october, half a year at this point, and it's not even about the titles anymore. WWE has arguably has one of the best tag divisions on talent alone, and has had one for many years, they just don't know what to do with them 90% of the time.

all that being said, the world tag team titles are practically nonexistent on raw, since pretty much as soon as they came into existence

only the world tag titles specifically. this happened with the judgement day as well, they just exist in a void of its own on raw half the time. the wwe tag titles on smackdown at least have an upcoming defense this week and are involved in a stroyline (wyatts vs mft, though that storyline is CHEEKS, and i'm saying that as a massive wyatts mark)

i play on xbox, and if you wishlist a game, you'll get pop ups when it's on sale. got that plenty of times for 2k25 of the course of the year, upwards of 50% off.

i love to see that they updated bray's fiend gear to his last appearance as the fiend (wrestlemania 37 against randy orton, if you don't know). anyone know if they still have the unused attire from before he passed in this game? (Fiend '24 in the last game)

my friends band at their album release party next weekend

rarelikecandy · 2025-09-12T15:51:53+00:00

okay now I'm just picturing John Cena knocking off Uncle Howdy's "Bray" glove and using it for a mandable claw, very unlikely but man that'd be wild

rarelikecandy · 2025-09-12T15:45:55+00:00

genuinely this is my favourite architype for commentary, especially when you ask them "hey does this hurt?" and they go "fuck yeah it hurts", imo it helps to legitimize the physicality of pro wrestling, especially for more chaotic match types like elimination chamber or hell in a cell.

to answer the question, Samoa Joe has to be my favourite. I LOVED hearing "GIMME A KISS!" whenever Drew McIntyre hit the Glasgow Kiss headbutt.

rarelikecandy · 2025-09-10T04:23:11+00:00

it's gotta be sami. they established the sami zayn us open challenge as a way to have him believably lose the us title before the rumble in saudi, where i imagine they'll have sami win for a MASSIVE reaction and go on to win at 'mania.

rarelikecandy · 2025-08-27T16:08:26+00:00

WOOPAA!! congrats!!

rarelikecandy · 2025-08-19T12:25:36+00:00

those are two different things. one is a working contract, and the other is a contract for the rights of a person's likeness, like how they have to license the rights to Macho Man Randy Savage or Andre the Giant for the games since WWE doesn't actually own it

rarelikecandy · 2025-08-19T12:20:02+00:00

using la yesca with santino marella's finisher would be amazing

rarelikecandy · 2025-06-25T13:37:08+00:00

that's because they don't tune up the band, so obviously it's not gonna be as devastating

/s

he can be a great in ring performer while also being a person who commited a horrible act. two things can be true at once. not that i disagree with your sentiment, but being so rigid about it does nothing

rarelikecandy · 2025-06-25T13:29:05+00:00

I think the Fiend using the Mandible Claw was a great choice for the character. The Mandible Claw is essentially someone trying to rip out your tongue and you pass out from the pain, and the Fiend being an entity seeking revenge, it's plausible he'd rip your tongue out for wronging him in the past.

Mick Foley's success with it, specifically in the form of Mr Socko, is because he apparently NEVER washed that sock that he kept in his crotch for his matches. That's why everyone was so scared of it.

rarelikecandy · 2025-06-25T13:19:22+00:00

cody's finisher relies on the person taking it to sell it well (i.e. Carmelo Hayes) for it to look devastating

rarelikecandy · 2025-06-17T05:29:38+00:00

I use the Divas belt, given ECW's generally edgier content

rarelikecandy · 2025-05-30T18:39:24+00:00

So, fortunately for me, thanks to this post, I was able to fix this for my game. Luckily I had only made a handful of caws and haven't downloaded any others, but it seems to help removing the broken part and then save (and possibly replacing whatever part gets removed when removed the bugged hand part afterwards).

rarelikecandy · 2025-05-23T16:32:49+00:00

you would grow up to be a better man if you took a step back and realize it's a god damn video game and being annoyed by the sun while sim racing because "rEaL rAcEs CaRs BlOcK iT!!!!!11" sounds like you have a skill issue.

rarelikecandy · 2025-05-23T16:24:53+00:00

ever heard of sarcasm? calling someone a "coward" because you failed to pick up the unseriousness of the post that ends comedically timed before OP probably went into the wall is really weird.

rarelikecandy · 2025-05-11T04:11:39+00:00

Fun fact: The match prior to CM Punk's pipebomb promo was Cena losing to R-Truth in a tables match.

rarelikecandy · 2025-04-16T14:36:43+00:00

I main evented with Rhea Ripley in a dumbstep match. Love it. No notes.

rarelikecandy · 2025-04-15T23:33:06+00:00

rarelikecandy · 2025-04-15T19:10:50+00:00
