Re: Official: How's your WWE 12 Universe going?
Sounds like a sweet deal Grumpy! I watched an old RAW IS WAR from '97 this morning; never realized how great wrestling was 'til you watch that!!! Lots of great ideas for Universe now
FOLKS, IF YOU DID NOT READ MY NWO SOULED OUT PPV ON THE LAST PAGE, PLEASE DO BEFORE LOOKING AT THIS. THANK YOU.
News & Notes from Sunday:
Live from Seattle, WA:
Kingston vs. Kozlov. Only because the CPU wants me to. Cutscene: Beth Phoenix attends the match ringside. Highlights: Haha! This was actually great! While my Kofi fought well with tons of high-flying moves, Kozlov nailed both his sig and finisher, only to have a great "comeback" and eventual small package victory! Exactly how it would happen in "real" life. Winner: Kingston. Cutscene: Eve comes out to the ring and escorts Kofi back to the dressing room! Whoo hoo Kofi!
HHH w/ Vickie Guerrero vs. Nash w/ Ziggler. While Trips has his ongoing shenanigans with best friend Shawn over in ECW, that doesn't mean there's not unfinished business to settle with Nash. If you've been following, it was the feud that opened up my Universe and, now, with the nWo domination and D-X back in effect, it'll only get more serious. Cutscene: Nash is attacked from behind by JBL and thrown to the wolf!!! Remember, Nash caused him a match against Zig last week. I suppose Vickie's new stable has both solo Trips & Bradshaw? Could we see a new corporation on the rise? Cutscene: Just a few minues in the ref sent both Zig and Vickie back to the locker! Highlights: Nearly complete domination from the Cerebral Assassin. A spinebuster followed by the STF was enough for the victory. Winner: HHH. Cutscene: Say yes to the Attitude Era 2012!!! JBL, Triple H and Vickie stomp out Nash, and Vick even throws in a chair for Hunter to use against his former buddy, followed by more stomps!!! Lots of boo's here!!
Orton vs. Kane. RKO won the triple threat contender's match against both Sheamus & Ziggler, so with Fatal 4Way towards the end of the month, Kane is still a top contender threat vying for that main event. There's a lot of heat here also when Orton's surprise partner Joker turned on him, leading to the Brother of Destruction reformation. Cutscene: Daniel Bryan runs down the entrance ramp, nails Orton and throws him back into the ring!! Kane went on to dominate shortly after but the Viper held on just enough to take the fight outside the ring. Orton kicked his *** with DDT's and irish whips, but both didn't make it back in time. Winners: Double-Countout.
Main Event (Non-Title): Edge vs. The Rock (WWE Champ).Rematch from last week since Christian interfered and left The Rated R Superstar left for dead for an unsatisfied Rocky. Edge demanded a rematch of legends, so here we go, folks! It's great to have the Hall of Famer back with us! Highlights: Great match as you would expect, and just when you think Edge would pull it off, he's caught with a classic spinebuster and then fires up a "comeback" but it was too late, as Edge charged into a Rock Bottom for the finish! Winner: Rocky. Cutscene: The nWo's newest members, Christian and Cody Rhodes bumrush The People's Champ after the victory! We've got to go, see you this Thursday on E-C-Dubya!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today is Tournament Thursday!!! Heyman, Bischoff, and Sting want to get these tournaments going, so this is what you will see today, folks.
In case you were wondering, here are the #1 Contender's Brackets (Winners in Bold coloring):
<O
</O
<O</O
<O</OX-Division Tourney, Round 1, Match 4 - Extreme Rules: Daniels vs. Dreamer. Just like ECW itself, even tournament matches will have gimmicks. I wish there was a way to change the loading songs that cut between shows...don't you? Highlights: Fun stuff! Daniels tried to avoid the "extreme" but no go: Dreamer irish whips him right threw a corner table. Winner: Dreamer.
TNA/ECW Tag Tourney, Round 1, Match 6 - Falls Count Anywhere: nWo Legacy (Rhodes & Christian) vs. The Flock II (Raven & Justin Credible). Rhodes & Christian jumped the nWo ship about 11 days ago on RAW, and haven't looked back, interfering in The Rock's matches with Edge. Raven & Credible have made Taz' life pretty much hell lately, as well. Who will advance? Highlights: Have to give WWE 12 props for great team entrance customization. Watching these fellas come down the ring was fun. Highlights: After beating down Christian for a while, Rhodes joined the fraw and all-four combatants got wild and hectic. But, despite it being Falls Count Anywhere, the Flock took it a little too far nailing Christian with a chair shot in the ring. It's ECW, but there are still SOME rules. Winners by DQ: nWo.
X-Div Tourney, Round 1, Match 5: Otunga vs. X-Pac. Recently Pac announced he will be joining Thursdays on the ECW brand -- "to get a little closer to the competition", he admits while also stating, "there's no X.. Division without an X.. Pac." -- so this is yet anoter nWo/ECW matchup, despite Pac's D-X allegiance. Highlights: Lots of boo's for Pac, after what he's brothers in arms did to Team Extreme last week! There was a segment where Pac nailed 3 incredible high-flying moves in a row: running plancha, springboard legdrop, and reverse springboard plancha!! Proved how extreme the former Lightning Kid can be. For whatever reason, the person who made this X-Pac did a horrible job at giving him the right signature moves!!! So I finished off Otunga with a DDT and springboard starman splash! lol. Winner: Pac. Despite the CPU booking matches 1 and 2 this week, there were no cutscenes. Weird!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tonight on...
marks the return of...
Stay tuned.
X-Div. Tourney, Round 1, Match 6: Heath Slater vs. Sabin. Enjoyed how Sabin came down to the ring with the M.C.M.G. theme, sorta mocking! Don't think Slater got in one second of offense. Winner: Sabin.
Raven vs. Taz. Although both claim ECW, both have strong ties to TNA, and this interpromotional match-up allows Raven 2 nights of wrestling in a row, seeing how he participated in a tag match last night. Cutscene: After some loud boo's to Raven, Taz appears from under the ring and lays the smackdown on him!!! Highlights: The match didn't start until 5-minutes in as both competitors beat the living daylights out of each other outside of the ring. Cutscene: Missed it because I was button-mashing! Pretty dumb that I have no idea what happened during the middle of the match because of that!! lol. Match was great, with Taz submitting Raven with a crosschoke. Winner: Taz.
Since I wondered what happened in the cutscene, I rematched and come to find out it was Raven who wanted to give up and go back to the locker room! So, on the second try Taz won via countout while Raven paced back 'n forth on the entrance ramp! They should at least just let Raven leave completely!
X-Div, Round 1, Match 7: Yoshii Tatsu vs. Chavo Guerrero. Chavo, along with partner, Rey Mysterio, is the newest member of TNA, and his first official singles matchup is against new Flock member and ECW wrestler, Tatsu. Highlights: These tournament matches give me a great excuse to use guys I would typically NEVER use, and it's been fun using just about the full roster in the game. Seeing how Tatsu is an "evil" wrestler in the new Flock, I gave him an unusual "Japanese Zombie" gimmick where gothic music plays and he waddles down the entrance ramp like a zombie! It's pretty ****ing wild! Another note: I'm noticing a LOT of boo's in all these matches. Man, the people attending all of these events are pretty pissed-off lately!! Time to reevaluate how many faces I have. Probably not many, I'm guessing High-flying action! Tatsu missed the springboard dropkick when Chavo pushed the referee in the way, and made him tapout with a Boston Crab. Winner: Chavo!
Main Event: Bill Goldberg vs. Mason Ryan. With both Bobby Roode and Jeff Hardy granted a week off from Sting due to their 2 amazingly rigorous matches in 3 nights, he wasn't going to leave the crowd without a special announcement. That advertisement is GOLDBERG! Who appeared on Impact briefly about 2 months ago to help out pal James Storm. But Da Man is back, and ready for in-ring action!!! This place is going bananas!!!!!!! It's GOLDBERG!!!!!!!! Highlights: Not to be dethrowned, Mr. Ryan himself has a new entrance theme and it's very similar in epicness to Goldberg...almost mocking the former WCW/WWE great with it's symphonics (it's TNA's Magnus' theme)....
Oh, Elimination Chamber is on...I'll finish later!
Sounds like a sweet deal Grumpy! I watched an old RAW IS WAR from '97 this morning; never realized how great wrestling was 'til you watch that!!! Lots of great ideas for Universe now
FOLKS, IF YOU DID NOT READ MY NWO SOULED OUT PPV ON THE LAST PAGE, PLEASE DO BEFORE LOOKING AT THIS. THANK YOU.
News & Notes from Sunday:
- The Outsiders are new WWE Tag Team Champions. This means the Dudley Boyz are still TNA & ECW Tag Team Champions (I use the classic belts as ECW Tag Straps).
- Mick Foley was injured when Big Poppa Pump belly-to-belly suplexed him through a set of stacked tables. His career may be over after only wrestling for 2 weeks!
- Thus, Scott Steiner is the new ECW Hardcore Champion...and back to representing nWo.
- Bobby Roode is the new TNA Heavyweight Champion! This will be his second time since he opened up my Universe as champ.
- Austin Aires made quite the startling return when he violently attacked Roode after his victory. While Aires still holds the X-Div title, it's fairly obvious where his sights are set.
- The Rock once again defeated Kane to hold on to the WWE Title, and, although the nWo dominated for most of their PPV, the champ was supported by a member of each faction against this New World Order.
