Universe Update

• Edge is the new #1 contender. Will anyway step in his path for a title shot?
• Kane has made various appearances lately. Will he show up tonight?
• R-Truth is causing a lot of trouble around Smackdown, will his 1v1 match with Mark Henry settle him down?
• Orton is the new World Heavy-Weight Champion, how long will he retain?

Friday Night Smackdown!

R-Truth v Mark Henry: A lot of interesting stuff happened in this one. After a Lie Detector, the Ref began a count 1..2.. Kick out! R-Truth was so infuriated he flung the ref across the mat where he proceeded to abuse Mark Henry. Out of nowhere, the lights turn Red, and Kane enters! R-Truth makes the mistake of going outside the ring to mess with Kane where he is put into a chokeslam. Fortunately for Truth, Henry still hasn't recovered and the ref has. Another Lie Detector puts an end to the match, but I have a feeling a lot more will be coming out of this feud.

Rating: *** 1/2, Truth wins via pinfall.

Orton (c) v Sheamus: Many are wondering if Orton will even be able to compete after that brutal match with Undertaker. It was apparent early and often that he was trying to end the match as soon as possible, going for multiple pin attempts. Even after an RKO, Sheamus kicked out at 2, and put him immediately into a high cross. But Orton kicks out as well! During an Orton "comeback" Sheamus reversed a move and booted Orton right in the face. Game. Set. Match.

Rating: ***, Sheamus wins via pinfall.

Lesnar v The Rock: Its my thought process that one of these guys will be taking on Undertaker during Wrestlemania 29 to end the streak (Wrestlemania 30 will be 'Takers last match). Its still quite a ways away, so there aren't a whole lot of implications here, however. Christian still doesn't have a #1 Contender and it would be cool if one of these guys could bolt to the top of that list. The match began in an all out brawl, both guys swinging back and forth. After the match moved outside the ring, Lesnar flung The Rock over the steel steps. Pushing him back into the ring, Lesnar converted on a monster Shooting Star Press, going in for the pin. Oddly enough, Justin Gabriel was the one who ran out to the ring to stop the match from ending. Rock took advantage and went in for the Rock Bottom, which apparently wasn't enough to finish Lesnar. After some more back and forth, Lesnar converted an F-5 that finally put the Rock out.

Rating: ***, Lesnar wins via pinfall.

Edge v Undertaker (#1 Contenders Match): Rumor has it that Undertaker might not be in the ring for a little while if he loses to Edge. What a finale this was. I already knew it'd be a great match given the talent, but it is beginning to seem like every match Undertaker has been in lately has been awesome. After Edge reversed a chokeslam and gave 'Taker a signature DDT, he lined him up for the Spear, but instead ended up with a reversal and being put into a Tombstone. 1...2...Kick out! Edge survives the Tombstone against all odds! But as Edge groggily reaches his feet, Undertaker puts him in for another Tombstone, and despite Edge's struggles, he can't get out of it. Head, meet Mat. 1...2...3! The Dead Man wants his title back.

Rating: ****, Taker wins via pinfall.

Show Summary: This was the definition of a great card. I kind of get the feeling that Edge is bound to give Christian a run at the Intercontinental belt, and this loss solidifies my feeling. It looks like we haven't seen the last of Taker vs Orton, which has produced some incredible matches thus far.

Re: Official: How's your WWE 12 Universe going?

Night of Champion Results

Match 1: Kofi Kingston/Evan Bourne (c) vs. Titus O'Neil/Percy Watson for the WWE Tag Team Titles.

This was basically a handicap match as Kofi turned heel prior to NOC and left Evan to fend for himself. Titus and Percy had dominated Kofi and Evan leading up to the PPV and Kofi lost it. Towards the end, Kofi seemed to come to help Evan, but attacked him and Titus finished off Evan with a Sitout Spinebuster.

Winner: Titus O'Neil/Percy Watson

Match 2: Titus O'Neil/Percy Watson (c) vs. Justin Gabriel/Heath Slater for the WWE Tag Team Titles.

After Titus and Percy won the titles, they had to defend the titles against Gabriel and Slater as they didn't have much competition with Evan Bourne. This match was really made because I don't use the divas and needed to have a 6th match on the card. Gabriel and Slater didn't provide much of a threat and Percy finished off Gabriel for the win.

Winner: Titus O'Neil/Percy Watson

Match 3: R-Truth (c) vs. Mason Ryan vs. Brodus Clay for the U.S. Title.

R-Truth defeated Mason Ryan the night after Summer Slam and defeated him in a rematch on Raw. Mason Ryan became #1 contender after winning a Fatal 4 Way match, but Brodus made it in after defeating Ryan on Raw. This was basically match a match of 2 brutes and 1 smart champion. As Brodus and Ryan were battling it out in the ring, R-Truth grabbed the U.S. Title and waited outside the ring. Brodus went out of the ring to attack Truth, but Truth nailed him with the title, busting Brodus wide open, and then nailing Mason Ryan with the title and pinned Ryan to retain.

Winner: R-Truth

Match 4: Christian (c) vs. Wade Barrett vs. Mark Henry vs. Sheamus vs. Big Show for the World Heavyweight Title in a Scramble Match.

This was a helluva match. Christian started out with Mark Henry. Then next to come out was Big Show. Before Sheamus came out next, Mark Henry forced Big Show to submit to the Bearhug. Christian would pinned Sheamus next after hitting the Killswitch. Wade Barrett was the final participant to enter the match. And right away it went bad for Barrett and Sheamus hit the High Cross and Christian hit the Killswitch on him. Eventually Barrett hit Wasteland on Mark Henry and pinned him. With 15 seconds left in the match, Barrett went for a chair under the ring and Christian desperate to save his title, nailed Barrett with a bulldog on the chair and pinned Barrett with 8 seconds left (Falls Count Anywhere so more falls could happen). Barrett hit Wasteland on Christian with 1 second left so time ran out and Christian retained the title.

Winner: Christian

Match 5: Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Randy Orton for the Intercontinental Title.

The feud between the two became intense when Orton injured Miz though did not put him out of action and then Rhodes attacked Orton with a pipe. Before the match, Rhodes attacked Orton as he was under the ring. Rhodes hit the Alabama Slam on the floor and Cross Rhodes in the ring, but Orton wouldn't stay down. Orton tried his comeback, but it was no use as Rhodes hit a second Cross Rhodes and pinned Orton.

Winner: Cody Rhodes

Match 6: Alberto Del Rio (c) vs. CM Punk vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Triple H vs. The Miz for the WWE Title in a Scramble Match.

Miz and Ziggler started the match and Miz pinned Ziggler in the 1st 5 minutes after hitting the Skull Crushing Finale on the floor (also Falls Count Anywhere). The next to come out was Triple H. Triple H pinned Ziggler following Pedigree. CM Punk was the 4th man out. Miz pinned Triple H, but his reign as current champion was short lived as 2 seconds later, Punk forced Ziggler to tap out to the Anaconda Vise. Del Rio was the final man to come out. Ziggler pinned an unconscious Triple H. Punk pinned Miz after a GTS to become the final current champion and time ran out before Del Rio could save his title.

Winner: CM Punk

[QUOTE=LOOSECANNON;2043344314]-Yeah, maybe we can go to an Angels game this season! Make the trip, bro. Do you have a facebook?

My brother lives down there, i would love to make a trip for the weekend, its a possibility.

Yes I have a facebook?...

-Did your son beat you in the U? Smart kid. How old? Sure did, whooped my candy ***, and he is 6. He smashes the buttons to fast for me counter LOL.

-I did the 15 team Battle Royal exactly as you said...so some guys never got to see their partners; i'm just glad no one fought against each other that wasn't! It was fun. ...

Going to give this a shot. I dig on your top 50. I have a pretty decent roster myself, a lot of the same guys, trouble i'm having is storylines - what is the trick!...

-I'm slowly getting Punk on track, too, - I feel he needs to make a turn to get him going well see!..i have a plan installed for it?


I meet a new guy on CC, he makes some serious sick diva and knockouts, and attires etc.. RAIDA GNP look him up.

I also messed around with the logo and arena editor last night. I dedicated it to my boys, they have there real WWE ring all tapped up and stuff so i thought, what a great idea.

So i uploaded on CC my first Arena last night called Mayhem Wrestling with a twist to the tore up one...LOL, check it out Grumpykore is my gamer tag, whats is yours?

Wanted to let you know I enjoy all your reads on your universe. I check out OS just to see what new stuff you got going?

Gamertag: TravMoody

Facebook: Travis Moody (it'll be a picture of Dave Duchovny, but there's several of "me" so I'll probably need yours)

Won't be downloading anymore people except the ones I had deleted in the past to make room for Rock and Masked Kane... Maybe Chris Hero, now that he signed with WWE.



Quick Update...

- RAW -

Roode vs. HHH. Cutscene: Daniel Bryan enters ringside. Does nothing. Winner: Roode via "Pay Off." Cutscene: Bryan attacks Roode after raising up arms.

OK, so I came up with a solution. The only solution: delete Roode. Yes, and then after RAW is booked next week I will re-download him. I'm tired of this. Bryan already attacked Orton on Smackdown; I don't need him in 10 other angles. Hope it works.

Ziggler vs. Nash vs. Regal. Cutscene: Falls Count Anywhere match. Lame, already. Starting to see the same cutscenes over and over..... Actually, I spoke too soon. Cutscene: Nash convinces Zig-Zag to help double clothesline Regal, yet when I went for the pin afterwards, Nash broke it up. Too bad--Zig in the nWo would've been cool Winner: Nash with a Jacknife while Zig went out of the ring to find a weapon. Cutscene: Wait, Nash raises up Ziggler's arm after the match!!! Could the nWo have a new member? INTRIGUING!!!!

Main Event Non-title Match: Undertaker vs. Kane (WWE Champ). WOW! Great booking by the CPU (Laurinaitis)! This will be Taker's first appearance since defeating Jericho at Wrestlemania. This also marks Undertaker's first appearance on a brand show!!! Remember Jericho ran out last week to view Kane defeat Show, so who knows what's in store with this one!!! Also, if you're keeping score at home...Jericho was the #1 contender before Kane defeated him for that slot...thus, Undertaker's now on the list... Highlights: Kane's domination! Winner: Kane via Tombstone in a pretty big upset on TV! So, Kane finally doesn't have to feel like second place anymore.... What does this mean for the Undertaker?

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE REST OF THE WWE!!!???

*Dark Match* Vladmir Kozlov defeated Santino after attacking him from under the ring. Cutscene after the match: Just before a would-be beatdown with a chair -- yes, the WWE is definitely reveling up for Hardcore Heaven in 2 weeks! -- Kofi chases the Russian out of the ring to the aid of Santino.

Re: Official: How's your WWE 12 Universe going?

Wade Barrett beat CM Punk for the WHC at Backlash, the following Raw Colt Cabana made his re-debut. As the Second City Saints reform, this time in the WWE.

[Grumpykore]

Re: Official: How's your WWE 12 Universe going?

Update: Following Over the Limit PPV
RAW

Match#1
Show and Henry continue to battle for top dawg. The 2 biggest guys in the WWE are scheduled for a match but it is rescheduled for a Falls Count Anywhere. Seemed to be to good to be true, with the Knockout blow that lays out Henry early in the match. (cutscene) Henry is lying there motionless as the ref calls for help. The Show has put Henry on the shelf once again'…..maybe for a very long time.

Match #2
Tag Match – Kane and Tyler Rekes Vs. HBK and ?
Kane makes his way to ring and Rekes to follow. HBK walks on the stage calling out his mystery partner…the music hits TIME TO PLAY THE GAME – Hunter walks out, is DX back again’…I think so!.(LOL CPU put this match together)..All fired up the match starts out slowly and builds to the point the Band starts to tune up and Sweet Chin-Music is SMASHED right in Reke’s Jaw. Kane trys to get in the ring but HHH counters with a knee to the chin of THE MONSTER, HBK gets the pin and the win!

Match #3
Y2J got (me)Punk with the Code Breaker Interfering in Punk’s match but Punk is ready this time around hoping for GTS as payback, GLOBBERING TIME….a rematch from last week! Let ‘s see who is the best in the world at what they do! A rivalry is starting to brew between the two. I like!!! HEEL vs FACE!!! This is the opening I have been waiting for to get Punk going again’….First Off I have to say this might be the best match I have played in WWE12 to date, Petchy93 Jericho is really good and the movesets are prefect, with that said this match has gone back and forth with an out-right assault to each other. This can go anyway now. (I hope for a cutscene) …..Y2J hits Punk with a codebreaker and then able to regain composure Punk hits Y2J with the GTS and the cover 1,2,3…..Look in my eyes what do you see!!!!

Match#4 – Main Event
The Animal made his presence felt last week interfering in UT match…I did not think he liked that so much so here we go another great CPU booked match as Batista makes his first WWE12 return…(Batista is Ranked 48 for the WWE Championship, what a way to skyrocket to the top if he can get a victory from the Dead Man….The Animal’s music screams thru the arena and he makes his way out… (cutscene) Gong ..Gong …Sounds off-crowd goes crazy as Taker runs down the ramp and slides in the ring and tackles Batista. Oh yeah baby this one is going to good. The match starts as I try to regain some sense of what just happened to me by UT. Animal makes his way up, on a rampage of blows…UT counters back…WOW this is a fight!...First time playing the Batista Character, I’m all fired up right now…this can go both ways-tomb stone and Dave manages to some how kick out cuz of the ropes…taker goes for last ride-Dave counters,,,and kick to face!...WOW this is crazy so much action I’m so getty right now!...Taker rolls over the top ropes with his patient over the floor taking the fight outside to a 7 count…UT Signals for Rest in Peace but Dave trying for a Spear..missing and is pumbled in the corner…able to roll out to the floor Dave gives the THUMBS DOWN!!!!!the end is near! Slides in the ring manages to pull off spine buster and then trys for the Batista Bomb, but Taker counters and rolls over the shoulder and me to the apron busting me open…I TELL YOU this is almost TV wrasslin’ eesk! OMG taker slams Dave in the corner Super Plex off the top rope..Holy Crap this is awesome! To much for The Animal TOMBSTONE UT wins!...after match (cutscene) WOW – On the ramp- Mason, Otunga and McGillicutty show up signally we want you!...Might of Just started a new Evolution!...

As JR used to say, that is one hell of a slobber knocker of a nite!..Good Nite

Re: Official: How's your WWE 12 Universe going?

Just thought I'd ask a few questions so I can get more creativity out of my Universe. At times it feels like I'm running out of different ideas to do these two things:

How do you guys go about debuting new/returning superstars?

How do you guys go about starting feuds (assuming you don't follow what the CPU sets up)?

How do you guys go about debuting new/returning superstars?

How do you guys go about starting feuds (assuming you don't follow what the CPU sets up)?

debuting wrestlers- for big names, ill leave them on a dead brand and set top rival to whoever i want them to fued against when they do pop up.

for example, in my universe the regular Default Kane got injured. this was right around the time that masked Kane was debuting in real life. so i downloaded the Masked Kane (whoever created him did an excellent job) and set his one rival to the guy that injured him. so when kane came back from injury, i immediately switched to the masked kane. boom! been rolling with him ever since.

another example, i have Batista. i want his first feud to be with Mason Ryan. i wont bring him in until that happens or the CPU randomly does it! lol

other times ill wait for Royal Rumble to debut some people. i recently did that with CHRIS JERICHO and he ended up winning it!

starting new feuds- after a while the CPU does the same feuds over and over. so what ill do is, ill edit everyone's Allies & Rivals on one brand to start some fresh new fueds.

ill even turn some people heel or face to give them a new spark. im in october of year 2 in Universe. Randy Orton has been on Smackdown since the beginning but ever since i took the Intercontinental Title from him with Kurt Angle (who is now WHC) in October/November of year 1, he has been floating near the bottom ever since. so last night, i had him interfere in a Triple H/Kofi match and RKO both guys!

now he is a heel and he is on Raw! will use him to spice up the US CHAMPIONSHIP division.

[BenGerman]

Re: Official: How's your WWE 12 Universe going?

Universe Update

• I love how at any given time, one of either Smackdown or Raw can be far more interesting than whats on the other show. Unfortunately for Raw, Smackdown has been more more exciting as of late. I'm going to try and spice it up tonight with some nice matchups.
• The Iron Senator has kind of been flying under the radar with no real contender for the US Title Belt. But tonight, he'll have to face a gauntlet unless he wants to put up his title next week on Raw.
• The Triple H/Stone Cold feud has been my personal favorite the last few weeks. Stone Cold simply can't beat Triple H.
• There hasn't been any Diva sightings lately. We'll see how long that lasts tonight.
  • Del Rio is the new #1 contender. How will that factor in on the title situation?

Monday Night Raw!

Iron Senator (c) v Santino/Kozlov/? (Gauntlet Match): So as stated above, unless Iron Senator wants to put up his belt against whoever might beat him in the gauntlet, he needs to run it. I'm not sure who the mystery entrant will be, but I figure its either McGillicutty, or Zack Ryder. This match was a lot of fun, and just the kind of spark my Raw needed. Santino didn't put up a huge fight, although Senator had to reverse a Cobra. After putting him through a Shock Drop and sending Santino home, Kozlov made his way into the ring with intentions to slaughter Senator. After Senator got him up on the turnbuckle for one of those high flying DDT's, Kozlov reversed it and put him into an Iron Curtain 1...2...Kick out! Senator gets up and puts a signature cross face on him, leading to a long, (and I mean really long) submission hold until Kozloz simply couldn't hold on any longer, and he had to tap out. The mystery opponent ended up being McGillicutty who has been emerging as a contender. After a Shock Drop from Senator 1...2... Kick Out! McGillicutty lands a huge elbow to the chest, and catches Senator off guard with a McGillicutter. 1...2...3! Looks like we'll be having a championship match next week.

Rating: *** 1/2 stars, McGillicutty wins via pinfall.

Kane/Big Show v Justin Gabriel/Slater: Not exactly sure why the CPU booked this match, but I decided to go ahead and see where it goes. Kane has been all over the place on both shows, so maybe this will help lock him into something. As for the match, it was a little bit underwhelming. Gabriel and Slater never really did anything that made me think they might win, but they hung around for awhile, avoiding Big Shows WMD, and escaping the clutches of a Chokeslam from Kane. It could only last so long however, as Big Show left his turnbuckle to give an annoying Health Slater a boot to the grill as Kane gave Gabriel a thunderous chokeslam for the victory.

Rating: **, Show/Kane win via pinfall of Gabriel.

Cena v Miz: I've been looking forward seeing Cena and the Miz back in the ring, so I'm hoping this is the start of a great feud. However, the match ended before it could even begin pretty much. Miz charged Cena without giving the Ref a chance to ring the bell. As soon as he did, Miz gave him a Finisher and Cena couldn't get up. The match literally lasted 10 seconds, but since I don't mind seeing this now and again, I'll rate it on the fact that the cutscene was cool and Miz's finisher was bad ***.

Rating: ***, Miz wins via pinfall.

Del Rio v Triple H (c) v ?: In general, I hate triple threat matches. Its hard for there to ever be any kind of "flow" to the match, and WWE '12 doesn't handles them even worse then its real life counterpart. However, I will say I'm glad I left this one alone, as it ended up being filled with surprises. I decided I'd control who ever the mystery competitor was (I generally am a little worse than CPU with a couple house rules), which would give me a little control on the flow of the match. Goldust was the surprise wrestler, which was weird and awesome at the same time, because this was his first appearance 4 months in to the Universe. It eventually boiled down to the point where Del Rio and Triple H were dominating the match, so I knew Goldusts best chance would be to pick his battles carefully. In an awesome series of events Del Rio put an armbar on Goldust, Triple H ran and broke it up as soon as Goldust almost tapped, Triple H puts Del Rio into a pedigree of epic proportions, and before HHH can go in for the cover, Goldust gets a cheep shot in on him from behind, knocking HHH to the ground, and stealing the pin on Del Rio. Awesome.

Rating: ****, Goldust wins via pinfall.

Show Summary: I wouldn't say it was an incredible show, but there were certainly a lot of cool things going on. I'm surprised Stone Cold didn't make an appearance, but I'm sure he'll be back next week.

Rating: ***

My debuting is always different. Two examples. It was the monday after the ppv before survivor series, and I debuted KOW (Hero and Cesaro), and Seth Rollins as kind of like an invasion or Nexus like angle and the payoff was those 3 vs. like Lesnar, Barrett, and Del Rio I think. It was 3 top guys that weren't champions, that was my traditional Survivor Series match. The other debut I had was that at Backlash Wade Barrett beat CM Punk (me) after Chris Hero interfered, so the next night on Raw I brought in Colt Cabana. So now the Second City Saints are fueding with the Kings.

[BenGerman]

Re: Official: How's your WWE 12 Universe going?

Universe Update

• I actually played an episode of Smackdown, and unfortunately, wasn't near my computer to write about the matches. I'll give a run down here, however.
• R-Truth got a beatdown from Mark Henry. These guys are really going at it, and its been a fun feud to watch.
• Lesnar demolished Sheamus, and actually injured him. I'm going to give Sheamus some time off, and probably won't bring him back until I'm done using one of either the Rock/Lesnar/Edge/Stonecold. This way he can get a push without being mid-carded all the time.
• Another Triple Threat Main Event. This time Undertaker, Orton and a mystery character. Ironically enough, it was Goldust again. This time he didn't get so lucky, as he got 2 RKO's and a Tombstone before having to be carted off. He's gone just as fast as he got here. Orton ended up Punting 'Taker for the win.

Monday Night Raw!

The Miz v John Cena: This was my first match trying out 0'ed out Recovery rating (I was getting furious with the wrestlers getting up so fast), and it seemed to work pretty well because the match was awesome. Miz put a finisher on Cena, but he kicked out after two. Cena proceeded to put Miz into an FU, but Miz weaseled out and put Cena in another finisher (which was awesome, because the transition between the reversal and finisher was seamless), where Cena couldn't kick out.

Rating: *** 1/2, Miz wins via pinfall

The Iron Senator (c) v McGullicutty (US Championship Match): The Iron Senator has actually held the belt longer than anyone but Christian, so I'd hate to see him lose it on an episode of Raw. I'm excited to see if McGullicutty can hand with him in the ring, but I don't see any kind of feud boiling anytime soon. Both guys are heels, and McGullicutty doesn't seem like a guy who can stay this high on the card. Let me be the one to say I was surprised as hell at how great of a match it turned out to be. Senator's specialty lies in the DDT, and there was a great moment where McGillicutty was sprinting right at him when he jumped into the air, grabbed MM by the neck, and DDT'd him so hard he bounced into the air. Blood was everywhere at this point (there was also a lot of time spent outside the ring), when McGillicutty miraculously kicked out at 2. Somehow, he caught Senator off guard and gave him a McGillicutter, and I swear, Senator must have kicked out with a hair left before the Ref hit 3. Senator got up, slammed McGillicutty's face into the Turnbuckle and hit him with his finishing Shock Drop (basically a High Suplex that goes into a pin) 1...2...3! Senator retains!

Rating: ****, Senator retains via pinfall.

Eve v Maryse (#1 contenders match): Typical divas match. Kelly Kelly interfered, hit Maryse with a K2, woke up the knock out ref and Eve got her victory.

Rating: * 1/2, Eve wins via pinfall

Triple H (c) v Del Rio (Hell in a Cell): How the heck am I supposed to turn down a CPU booked Hell in a Cell match? Even though I like to save stuff like this up for PPV's, this was too good of an opportunity to pass up. The match was insane, as was to be expected. An early Pedigree set the match up, but Del Rio kicked out at two. Eventually the match moved outside of the ring, where Del Rio through Triple H through the cell, where they both proceeded to climb up the cell. Del Rio pushed Triple H to the edge of the cell where he where he used his arm breaker before Triple H kicked him off and put Del Rio into a spinebuster where the two broke through the cage. In amazing fashion Triple H got up, put Del Rio between the legs, and gave a nasty pedigree that didn't help the bleeding. Game, set, match. How could Over the Limit possibly top this match?

Rating: **** 1/2, Trips wins via Pinfall.

Show Summary: I can't possibly let a terrible Diva's match ruin the awesomeness that was this Monday Night Raw. Holy cow, was this an awesome episode. The Cena/Miz feud is setting up nicely, it looks like Senator might have found a worthy foe, and Del Rio and Triple H continue to show why they're two of the best talents in WWE.

Rating: ****

[BenGerman]

Re: Official: How's your WWE 12 Universe going?

Universe Update

• Iron Senator is going to have to defend his belt at Over the Limit in a Last Man Standing match. Can he retain yet again?
• Christian/Ziggler/Edge will face off for the Intercontintal title in a steel cage. Will Christian retain?
• Undertaker is going to take one last shot at Orton, but has announced that either way, he will be taking a break after the match. If Undertaker wins, there will be a 16 man King of the Ring style tournament that leads into the next PPV. If Orton retains, and 8 man tournament will take place.
• The Demolition squad has to defend the belt for the first time in a month against mystery opponents. Who will step up and face the challenge?
• Triple H takes on Del Rio for the WWE title belt. Will Del Rio ever get his revenge for Trips putting him in the hospital?

Over the Limit

The Iron Senator (c) v Michael Mcgillicutty (Last man Standing): What a battle! Tables were broken, Chair were snapped, and blood was most certainly lost. McGillicutty proved he had guts tonight at Over the Limit, that much is for sure. He suffered through Foley like torture, and got up time after time after time. He survived 2 broken tables, 5 chair shots, 3 finishers, and being whacked by the belt. He got up twice on 9 counts. The last of which, he reversed a finisher mid air, and put Senator into a McGillicutter that just about cost Senator his belt (8 count). The thing that did McGillicuty in was a top of the ropes DDT where it looked like his head could have fallen off. Senator sat depleted in the corner as he watched the count, retaining his title belt.

Rating: I'd say it went to long, but it was always intense, so ****, Senator retains via countout.

Demolition (c) v Kozlov & Santino: I can't say I'm surprised, but I can say I'm disappointed. After last months PPV, I assumed that was the last of Santino and Kozlov that I'd be seeing, but it looks like they're getting one more shot at the title belts. I've been hoping for someone to take Demolition down, because it kind of takes away from all the cool things I want to do in the Tag Division. Anyway, the match is a tornado ladder match, so thats exciting. I'll say it early on, because it would be extremely difficult for me to describe the match because of how chaotic it was, Demolition won. But it was worth it, because I saw some of the coolest things I've seen thus far in '12. 1) Demolition climbing to the top of the ladder, and jumping simultaniosly down on Kozlov/Santinos heads. 2) Santino in mid-air holding the belt, but cant bring it down and falls right onto Ax's shoulder where he gets power bombed (awesome) 3) Santino Suplexing Smash off of the ladder, out of the ring.

Rating: *** 1/2, Demolition retains

Christian (c) v Edge v Ziggler (Steel Cage Title Match): Going into this match, I couldn't possibly imagine all the creative things that could happen after this match. If Christian retains, Edge turns on Chrisitian. If Edge wins, Dolph becomes his #1 competitor. If Dolph wins, Edge and Christian can take on the Tag Division one last time. Let me tell you, I could not have planned the finish to this match any better. Lots of action went on inside the ring, including some Irish Whips into the cage, a Ziggler finisher as Christian pulled down Edge from the top of the cage (this was awesome), and Edge spearing Dolph into oblivion. As Dolph sat motionless, something awesome happened. As Edge and Christian started going at it, Dolph slipped away, making his way up the cage. But a spear from Edge on Christian left him out of the equation for the moment. As Edge raced up the cage, lagging a little behind Dolph, Christian groggily gets to his feet. Both of his opponents are near the top, and he knows he can't get both of them. So what does he do? He pulls down Dolph Ziggler, disabling both himself and Dolph from winning the match, and handing it over to Edge for the belt and the victory.

Rating: **** 1/2, Edge wins the belt

Maryse v Eve v Michelle McCool (c) (For Divas Belt): This match wasn't too bad. I've expressed dislike for Triple Threat matches before (its much better will recovery at 1), but this one seems to flow pretty smoothly. Eve hit Michelle McCool with a finisher, and Maryse hit Eve with her DDT and covered McCool for the win and the belt.

Rating: **, Maryse wins the Divas Championship via pinfall.

Undertaker v Orton (c) (For WHW Title Belt): These guys seem to produce outstanding matches every time they fight, so this was probably the match I was looking forward to the most. It all began with Undertaker putting a beat down on Orton, throwing punch after punch. However, after a reverse Tombstone, Orton punted Taker in the face and went in for the pin. 1...2...Kick Out! The match continued with both superstars being more aggressive than ever. As Orton sprinted toward Taker for an RKO, Undertaker locked a Chokeslam on him and threw him to the ground with authority. A hand slashed across his throat as Orton stumbled his way to the ropes, where Undertaker lifted him and put him in a monster Tombstone Piledriver. 1...2....3! Undertaker wins his belt back! Let the 16 man King of the Ring tournament ensue!

Rating: ***, Undertaker wins the WHW Title via a pin over Orton.

Triple H (c) v Alberto Del Rio (Iron Man for the WWE Title Belt): These guys have absolutely abused each other for months now. At the Royal Rumble a few months back, Triple H put Del Rio in the hospital after a ridiculous Last Man Standing match. Two nights ago, Triple H put Del Rio through a Cell, and then landed a pedigree on him. There was really no way I thought Del Rio could compete in this match, but I was interested to see how it was handled anyway. The match was a designated 15 minutes long, whoever got the most pinfalls or tapouts would win. I'll give a quick rundown of exactly how it happened.

Pin 1 (Del Rio, 11:25): Del Rio had been working the arm of Triple H and made him tap before Trips could reach the ropes.

Pin 2 (Del Rio, 5:10): Del Rio put Trips through a table, and pinned him.

Pin 3 (Triple H, 1:15): Triple H hit Del Rio with a pedigree onto a chair, then pinned him.

Pin 4 (Triple H, :03 seconds): This was awesome. Del Rio had Triple H locked up in a submission hold before Triple H slammed Del Rio onto his backed with about 15 seconds left. He picked him up, and Pedigreed him so hard that he bounced into the air, without about 8 seconds left. Trips went for the pin, 1...2...3!

Rating: ****, Triple H retains via a tie in pinfalls over Del Rio

PPV Summary: The streak of great PPV's continues as Over the Limit pushed the boundaries of things I'd seen in WWE '12. The only slight disappointment of the night came from Undertaker and Orton, but I think I'd seen about as much out of them two of them as humanly possible.

PPV Rating: ****

Re: Official: How's your WWE 12 Universe going?

I made my own original CAW. A masked wrestler named the Grim Reaper. Had to make his stomach more flat though because if he wins a belt it will be absorbed into his stomach. Also had to get rid of his entrance attire because of this.

Anyways put him on Smackdown (renamed WCW Nitro) and had fun injuring R-Truth and then Santino the following week. Really going to enjoy bringing him up the ranks until he is the World Champion.

CM Punk is the Undisputed Champion right now. Rock keeps winning #1 contenders matches and I keep beating Rock with CM Punk. Wondering how long this little feud will keep going. They aren't rivals yet. John Cena has sat at ringside to watch but never is even in the #1 contenders matches or anything. In fact the last #1 contenders match was the Rock vs Heath Slater... I changed it to Rock vs Kane.

The Undertaker decided to attack CM Punk when I retained the belt at Extreme Rules. Maybe this will set up a 3 way match between Punk, Rock, and Undertaker next month. If not I will have to make that match happen.

Re: Official: How's your WWE 12 Universe going?

Quick update...

- Smackdown -

Orton vs. Bryan. Rematch from last week; D-Bry pulled the upset then continued to beat down Orton with a chair. For whatever reason, I completely dominated Bryan and it wouldn't give me a signature. Nonetheless, finished him off with the DDT through the ropes. Winner: Orton gets some payback. No cutscene after last week. Weird.

Fatal 4-Way Non-title: Rhodes (I.C. Champ) vs. Barrett vs. E. Guerrero vs. Dreamer. Last week Dreamer debuted on TV for the first time and defeated Rhodes' oft partner Dibiase. Barrett's mystery partner Raven took matters into his own hands, so he's got a little angst against the Extreme faction. And Eddie returns to Smackdown with some new mexican strings ("Lie, Cheat & Steal" is reserved for the New Latino Heat) and Impala back 'n play!!! Highlights: Tons of them! Guerrero missed a monkey flip off the ropes, leading to a brawl with Cody outside...as while Dreamer his the DDT, Barrett's leg on the rope allowed him to nail Tommy with a sledgehammer for the pinfall. Winner: Barrett! No cutscene again...pretty frustrating. But I guess WWE is showing ECW they're not backing down into the PPV!

Main Event: ECW - Raven & Sandman vs. Ryder & Sheamus. After last week's beatdown from the mystery ring debut of Raven and the first ever Smackdown appearance of Sandman, pals Zack & Sheam get their rematch. Highlights: Lots of shady weapon use from ECW while the ref was either out or distracted. Finally the ref wakes up when Sandman double hand chokes Ryder on the concrete with Raven legdropping with the chair around the neck or Ryder. Deadly end, but still.... Winners by DQ: Sheamus & Ryder. I REALLY hate that there are no cutscenes after DQ's. If anything, there should ALWAYS be one during DQ's!!!

Definitely the worst Smackdown I ever had in terms of story progression...


- Impact -

Abyss vs. the nWo (for the hundreth time). Thing is, they keep getting new members, and now the latest is... no way... Dolph Ziggler!!! It's as if there's an unlimited amount of guys just gunning for Abyss. Joker's done one hell of a job recruiting and he's got Curt Hennig with himself also. Watching Ziggler play the "Hall" role in the nWo trio entrance actually looks natural. Highlights: total domination by the New World Order. Plenty of brutal double teaming throughout the match including a joker beatdown and DDT on the concrete from Zig. Suppose his inition concludes! Winners: nWo. Again, no cutscene.

Suppose the whole "just change participants but not customize freely" theory to get cutscenes is now proven false. MEHHHH.

Triple Threat Non-Title Triple: Drew McIntyre vs. Alex Shelley vs. Austin Aires (X-Champ). Similar to the UK matchup last night at Impact, Big Mac joints the heated X-Division to battle 2 of its stars. Highlights: WOWWWWWW Best match I've had since the TLC match at Against All Odds! I swear this was like a half-hour long. GREAT Match. I went through my whole repurtore with Shelley until I nailed a facebuster-like Shock on Aires after monkey flipping Mac out of the ring. Winner: Shelley. Cutscene: FINALLY! A stretcher arrives for Aires. Oh, no the X-Division champ goes on the shelf. This is my first injury in Universe. "The doctors have concluded recovery is hopeless. I wonder if this will be the end of his career." Can you say X-Division tournament!!!?!?!!?

Taz vs. Raven. With Taz claiming Impact as his newfound territory last week, turning on former ECW pal Raven, this grudge match made by Sting is here! Cutscene: Raven accidentally clotheslines the referee giving Taz the upperhand for most of the match, as Taz took it outside the ring and pummeled Raven with chairs before a frontlock submission. Winner: Taz.

Main Event: Mason Ryan vs. Crimson. Since we're in the UK for one last Impact ride before Hardcore Heaven, the rising Welsh star gets main event bill against rival and former tag-team champion Crimson. And without surprise, there's a mega-pop for one half of the Unified Champs, but before we get to that Crimson attacks Ryan on the ramp!!!! But Mason could never recover from the facebuster he received outside and a huge death valley drive ron the concrete. Just when Ryan got the momentum, a running powerslam was just enough for the victory. Winner: Crimson. Cutscene: Crimson gives Mason some payback with some choice stomps after the bell to the dismay of the Wembley crowd!!!

And, yes, the longest running CPU booked match ever is finally gone because I deleted Roode. Time to redownload him now

Re: Official: How's your WWE 12 Universe going?

Currently in my first year of my Universe and really enjoying it, as far it's all micro-managed.

Just had Orton sustain a career-threatening injury after getting beaten by Edge in an Extreme Rules match for the WHC on Smackdown. Could be a nice angle for if he eventually returns (not sure how injuries work in Universe mode).
