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

Ben-I dig your reads too...heah I like your ideas for your matches and like also how you are running a Tournament for KOTR-(how do you set that up if you don't mind me asking(just matches and write down the winners and advance to next week!

peace

Hey GrumpyKore, thanks for the shout out and the question (you too EaglesFan). The way I designed the KotR is actually pretty simple. I went to the contenders list (the rankings), and went through and picked 15 guys for the tournament, and left one random. I did matchups based on contenders ranking (Example: Orton was the #1 contender, so I gave him the #1 seed), feuds (Example: Christian at #8 seed, and Dolph at #9 seed. This way, they have a match together and the feud still holds importance), and general prestige (Example: Brock Lesnar being #3).

I had 5 weeks until Fatal Fourway, so I did the first two rounds across two different weeks of Smackdown, and then the quarterfinals the next week (so I'm left with four contenders). That way I have one free week between now and Fatal Fourway, to let the four wrestlers have some face the week before the match. I might do a tag team match, or two separate 1v1 matches, just to have the wrestlers interact before the title match.

A couple things happened, however, that I didn't control. For example, when Gabriel beat Edge, but then R-Truth showed up for the fight against Mark Henry. That was entirely CPU controlled, and sparked from the feud the two had been having before the tournament. Smackdown being in Chicago was a complete coincidence (I was initially going to pick the surprise contestant randomly) and I knew I had to use Punk. Sorry if this answer was longer than you were hoping for, but this month of my Universe has been more exciting than any thus far.

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

Keep it up guys, good stuff...I messed around last night adding some entrances and music to my top50. (thanks Loose for making that a point to make your "U" better in the long run)
Ben, thanks for the Tip on Tourns. I should try that with a belt and see how it plays out...Oh..Trav I have a story for you..I picked up a new person on CC-lastnight!....Ol'WCW days!

Did not use a lot of reverb music as i was in a hurry to get back to playing-but heah it sounds good IMO.

I should be getting some play time here in about 2 hrs. I have day off so i'm making the time to clean a bit (gots to make the wife happy when she let you get PPVs..LOL).

Peace-Ben i'll look you up on LIVE if you don't mind..I like adding my OS peeps...Speaking of PEEPS-what about Christian retrurn lastnight on EC....loose catch you l8tes....

Spring training is just around the corner...!..yippie

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

Universe Update

• Raw is coming off a terrific week (the first one in a while). Will it be able to replicate that success?
• With Triple H winning the triple threat match, the #1 contender spot is still up in the air. Rey Mysterio looks like the man for the job, but will it stay that way?
• The Iron Senator didn't show up last week, will he make an appearance tonight?

Monday Night Raw!

Cena v McIntyre: This is the third week in a row that the starting match has been Cena/McIntyre, but I can't really blame the CPU. Their isn't a whole lot of talent on the roster, and the Cena/Miz/McIntyre thing might be the best thing going on outside of the Triple H dominance. Anyway (like its any surprise), The Miz attacked McIntyre before throwing him into the ring for the match. The Miz has now shown up to Cena's last 7 matches. Anyway, McIntyre was pretty beat up before the match even started, and it didn't take long for Cena to throw him against the ropes, wait for the rebound, and lift him on to his shoulders for an FU. 1...2...3! The Miz showed up again after the match, and took a pipe to John Cena. You'd think he'd be a little more aware of the after-match attacks at this point!

Rating: **, Cena wins via pinfall.

Kelly Kelly (c) v McCool: It looks the Johnny Ace is just trying to make the fans forget about Iron Senator altogether, as this is the second week in a row he hasn't made it onto the card. As it is, Kelly Kelly and McCool have had a feud since close to the beginning of my Universe, and it still hasn't reached any kind of conclusion. To keep a boring story short, Maryse charged the ring, distracted KK from the win, McCool hit a finisher, game over.

Rating: **, McCool wins via pinfall.

Miz v Big Show Falls Count Anywhere: After the Miz walked out on there last match, and angered Big Show demanded a rematch, this time, a Falls Count Anywhere. Despite the no count out rules, The Miz escaped a couple of Big Show's punches, and made his way up the entrance. This time, with Big Show chasing him! This was Big Show's first and last mistake as The Miz shocked him with a Skull Crushing Finale on the steel walkway! 1..2...3!

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

Morrison v Mysterio (#1 Contenders Match): So at long last, Triple H will know his opponent for Fatal Fourway. Will it be Mytserio, or will it be Morrison? Personally, I'm hoping for Mysterio to win so Morrison goes back to the tag division. As far as the match goes though, I couldn't be more ecstatic. The two put on a great show last week in the triple threat match, and I'm glad the CPU GM decided to give them the chance to fight one on one. The match started out with a bang, kicks everywhere, high flying jumps, and a nasty 619 from Mysterio. 1...2..Kick Out! Morrison returns the favor with a top ropes finisher of his own 1...2..Kick Out! Mysterio makes a comeback, hits him with a couple signiture kicks and goes in for another 619! 1...2...3! Mysterio is the #1 contender!

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

Show Summary: Not even an epic Main Event could save this show. The Miz/Cena thing doesn't really seem to be moving along, and theres not much going on outside of that feud. Although I'm glad Mysterio won tonight, and Morrison should be back with Kofi this weekend at Fatal Fourway.

Show Rating: **

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

Grumpykore what did you think when santino marrela got to the last two in the smackdown elimination chamber

[Grumpykore]

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

SD: I think business has picked up!...A Special Match is on the Card match #3 (cpu set it up) OMG...Holly *%^$

Match #1 - 6 man tag Elimination

Barrett-Rhodes-Slater vs Orton-Zeke-Ted D...The winner of the match gets a Spot in the MITB PPV.(BTW Barrett's moveset is amazing!)..so diverse in many ways.
I must say i was not sure how this was going to play out but, this is no heck of a slobber knocker!..Ex-members of Legacy are just beating the hell of out each other...Wade and Cody seem to be working really well Zeke big and strong takes care of Cody with a big fist to the face and opens up Cody. Rhodes trying for the tag to Slater reaches out and get the tag as he lays out orton with a right-misses Ted and Ortion RKO!...The Apex Predator stomps on the One Man Rock Band!...Slater is out. Barrett continues to punish Orton, Big boot to face in the turnbuckle, Orton is weary...but seems to pull together to get the Tag to Ted-he goes in but Wade counter with a Wasteland 1 2 3, Ted is out...LOL..Ither Rhodes took off to the locker or he got eliminated-while in the heat of battle with Wade and Randy. So Wade looks around, realizes he is on his own. But as Orton goes in for the sneak attack-Barrett pulls off another Wasteland to the Viper. Laid out he goes for the cover but Zeke will not let up...Barrett is frustrated-but pulls it together once again and finally put his knee to Zeke back and goes for the cover 1 2 3. We are down to Wade and Orton-who thought that would not be. Orton makes the a big move to wade-in the corner sets him up for Superplex -and cover but wade kicks out at long 2 ..wow that was close. Then Barrett makes the last final push-another boot to the face...and the count 1 2 3...Barrett wins..
OMG that was one of the best matches i have ever had in WWE12...(a match that last 10 secs shy to 18minutes) wow....now jacked what a match#1 of the 3 for SD..what next!

Match#2- Triple Threat-Brodus Clay RAW invite-(no funk gimmic)-I like him mean! - Mark Henry(first match back since injured) and -A-Ry...why does A-Ry always get put into this match.
Time to push Big Brodus-a beat down near i can feel it...might not be easy to take down the world strongest man but he is going to try-with Triple Threat rules it should make it easier for Brodus...The bell rings and Mark eyes his other big man in the ring and then make a B-line for A-Ry...Brodus looks around and pulls a chair from under the ring and and rings MH bell...chair shot after chair shot...The Big came to Sd for a purpose to hurt someone.

A huge mountain to climb for A-Ry but not going to happen tonight..(cutscene) Brodus just made his first mark in the WWE, as he watches the Stretcher roll to the ringside and push Riley out of the arena. (A mean angry T-Rex is on the loose)...(great match-never played with Brodus..he is fun)...I have an idea!!!-well have to wait and see till next week on RAW!

Match#3-CPU Set this on up-TNA Invades WWE-for the night! and takes the Main Event of the evening. (so i'm letting it play out) a 6 man Battle Royal- The TNA tag team champs-Morgan and Crimson and Samoa Joe, AJ, Kid Kash and what No way- Mathew Hardy!...is back!..I guess he has one more chance to prove he still has what it takes to be a professional wrestler!...Maybe Nero has something up his sleeve with his brother mysterious return. Teddy comes out and says "Hold on Players"...if your going to come in and interrupt our show-..The winner of this match will have to face the BIG SHOW next week and if that individual wins he will then get a spot #6 at the MITB-PPV!...If not they must leave TNA....Holla!...(is teddy trying to save his job by stealing a TNA superstar)...(can a TNA superstar end up with the brief case)....WOW what a night Thrusday Night was!..one of the best so far.IMO.

I think IMPACT is going to have some things happening in the next few weeks before PPV...for whatever reason Sting decided to let this happen!...The Winner of the event will be told on IMPACT Friday Night!...(IM EXCITED TO FIND OUT TOO) Stayed tuned!

[Grumpykore]

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

Grumpykore what did you think when santino marrela got to the last two in the smackdown elimination chamber

My kids were like no way REALLY!...time to push Santino!...maybe friday he will get shot a D-Bry for the title!

[Grumpykore]

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

FRIDAY NIGHT IMPACT: The night starts out with a BANG!..but on the line card-there a mystery WWE star in the building?...

Sting makes his walk down the ramp as people are clapping...ummmm what is going on!...Sting announces to the packed crowd that what was done of Thursday in 6man BR-was not a move for TNA it was a business move on his part upon making a deal with Teddy and Vince. Wondering around the ring in a foul mood he calls to the back to have the Winner: Samoa Joe come down to the ring and talk. Stinger say's Joe you will face the WWE's own BIG SHOW on SD Thursday, if you win you will have a spot in the MITB match. Joe's says-heah Stinger-I'm going to be the first ever TNA star to WIN a MITB breifcase and bring it back to TNA!...(Is Joe's sticking it to the TNA to early..before he even gets his shot at SHOW). Sting says right in Joe's face after the heated argument. If you do not win you are out of TNA...........TATA!!!!....So the show must go on, what a night we have in store for you guys on IMPACT...Looks like Sting has stacked the deck with Joe....fo sho....!!!..I guess that's the price you pay invading the WWE!..But what does WWE have in-store for TNA-we shall find out very soon?.

Match#1- Ladder Match - TNA 1yr Contract Match

Matt Hardy vs ????? I guess Jeff has been talking to the Boss...
(Are you kidding me-TAZ says to Mike!!!!It's The Gold Standard Shelton Benjamin....OMG what a way to kickoff IMPACT!!!!

The Ladder match was great see-saw battle..but Shelton was out wrestled by Matt-thanks to Flair's aid and none other then Jeff. Not sure what that is all about but...If jeff wanted his brother back in the ring he got him...but is it for a Reuion!
Winner and 1 yr contact-Matt hardy

Two tag teams came to wrestle tonight but one is out for A NEW WORLD ORDER!!!Hall and Sixx beat down the Motors opponents before the show tonight to get on the Air of course. TNA is getting turned outside down!!!..what has happened.....After the match Hall says they want the Tag Belts..."heah Yo give us what we came here to get?"....if you don't you will be sorry!...

???? in the back lot of the IMPACT ZONE...sting says is none other then THE BIG SHOW-I guess Vince did not want to wait to see if Joe can get the victory on SD with the SHOW...he wanted it to happen on IMPACT-in front of Joes people!...
Vinnie Mac tells the Stinger via Satellite that the match will take place in a STEEL CAGE so there is no interference.

Bully and the Cowboy have some un-finished business to take care of...well see what happens?

Hardy gets 2 requests granted tonight- #1 contender match for TNA title again'

RAWS on USA gotta go-peace-congrats to Ron Simmons FARROQ-2012 WWE HOF

[EAGLESFAN10]

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

I know this isnt right place 2 discuss this but since ZakTheManiac brought it up ima ask a question

If WWE decides to PUSH SANTINO what do you think they should do with him like change his gimmick (I actually like the one now lol but a change is ok)

does he go for the intercontinetal/or WORLD TITLE

[Grumpykore]

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

Loose, with all that is going on on RAW tonight...The 10 Man Battleroyal for #1 contender.

WOW...then night is going to ROQ.
Peace-talk lates!...

[LOOSECANNON]

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



Extreme Rules: Santino Marella vs. Daniel Bryan. CPU Booked! It was the real match on tonight's RAW and it just so happened my ECW program booked this. I did add Santino to the ECW roster, after the huge pop he got in the 6-man battle royal last week that McGillicutty won, and Bryan ended up in the finals, to boot. So this all works out nicely. Highlights: Bryan nails Santino on the outside via a ladder leap splash. Lots of kendo stick action and the ladder came into play. HUGE upset! Santino took a cane shot but garned a "comeback" that let to some hardcore use of his own. Winner: Marella!

Main Event: Hardcore Championship - Hardcore Ryles: Big Poppa Pump (Champ) vs. ?????? vs. ?????? vs. ?????? vs. ??????. Just like the ol' days when guys would just come flying out at whoever held this belt. Think Al Snow, Crash Holly, Justin Credible, any of these crazies! Well, it's back. In the span of 3 weeks, we've had 3 Hardcore Champions. With Steiner getting involved in Goldberg's return in a "steely" way this week, don't expect anything less. Highlights: Steiner's first opponent? The Flock's Ezekiel Jackson!!! This man has been impressive ever since joining Raven's new faction, and he's been gunning for a Hardcore title ever since it's inception. Ezekiel actually got the best of Steiner on the outside, and ended up with a pinfall after torture rack slam. AWESOME MOMENT, though...Steiner belly-to-belly plexes Jackson for the 3 count just as Tommy Dreamer stepped into the ring and tried to break it up! The ref then held up Steiner's arm right in front of the inaugral champion! Another funny moment... Steiner does some in-ring pushups while both Zeke and Dream are down, yet Zeke gets up and smashes his face on the mat while still in the pushup position! X-Pac is next, one of the newest members of ECW, sporting his DX jersey and jeans--perfect for this sorta match. He runs in and immediately spoils a pinfall attempt by Tommy. After a load of action, Lance Storm is the last entrant...and he gets the slick pinfall on a wounded Zeke! 3-minutes to go....Zeke gets the pinfall on a downed Poppa Pump at the same time Storm pinned Dreamer but Zeke got it by a 1/10th of a second. Lance Storm superkicks Dreamer as he goes for a downed X-Pac. Poppa Pump unloads on Storm with a great suplex but that's it!!! Time runs out and Ezekiel is the new Hardcore Champion!!! Winner: Zeke. Cutscene: After the match, not winning the title was enough as Zeke runs out of the ring and throws Storm towards the corner post...he holds him there and basically curvekicks him to obvlion!!!! WOW!!! Has anyone seen this one yet!!!???

*Dark Match from RAW Supershow* - Unified Tag Tourney, Round 1, Match 7: The New Age Outlaws (Road Dawg & Billy Gunn) vs. nWo (Mr. Perfect & Michael McGillicutty): Since the RAW brand Supershow also carries Smackdown and nWo, I felt this was a good spot to place this match. So, unless you were in L.A. on Monday, you weren't able to witness this match on TV. Highlights: Pretty awesome to see Curt Hennig & his kid come out to the ring together throwing up the nWo sign to Perfect's theme with the nWo Titantron. Glad the D-X entrance works again, with the Outlaws carrying the glowsticks and the vid cutting through--it's pretty awesome! Cutscene: Father & son high-five. Good match but primarily nWo dominate with McGilla, perhaps, getting the surprise pinfall on Billy Gunn with the superplex off the top rope. Winners: nWo.

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

Universe Update

• Smackdowns lineup is set for Fatal Fourway this Sunday. Will any shakeups occur this Friday?
• Kane, CM Punk, Brock Lesnar, and Randy Orton will battle it out for the WHW Championship.
• Dolph will compete for the IC, but with Sheamus returning last Friday, where does he fit into the picture?

Friday Night Smackdown!

Orton v Lesnar: The two have a bit of a feud brewing after Orton came out to watch Lesnar's match against Barrett last week. With both men competing Sunday night, they'll be looking to gain momentum, and maybe even put their opponent at a disadvantage on Smackdown! this week. Orton came out firing, put Brock on his back more than once. When he hit a signature DDT from the ropes, he pounded his fists into the mat. Jumping up for an RKO, Orton was thrown to the mat by Lesnar, who picked up Orton and F-5'ed him 1....2...Kick Out! Orton went on a comeback, eventually RKO'ing Lesnary 1...2...Kick Out! This time, it appeared Orton was too exhausted to continue. Lesnar hit him with a few German Suplex's and gave him a superplex from the turnbuckle before picking Orton up for a second F-5 1...2...3!

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

Truth/Henry v Slater/Chavo: This is Chavo's first appearance on Smackdown thus far, and Slater has been almost as non-exsistant. I didn't have much of a card prepared, so I just gave the CPU this one (they had tried booking it a couple times before). I have a hard time understanding why they want Truth and Henry paired up when they have a bitter rivalry, but whatever. We'll I understood after Henry's entrance. R-Truth decided not to show up! Big surprise right? About 5 minutes into the match (and Henry getting clobbered), R-Truth decided to show up, save Henry (who hot-tagged Truth), and end the match with a nasty finisher.

Rating: ***, Truth/Henry win via pinfall.

Dolph v Christian: It only seems fitting that Dolph gets one last shot at the guy who screwed him from the IC, right before he gets another shot at the IC. I have no doubt Edge will be involved somehow, but I guess we'll soon find out. What a match it was! Cristian got off to a fast start, and nailed an Unprettier on Dolph 1...2..Kick out! Then Dolph took control on the mat, showed off a little bit, and hit a Zig-Zag! 1...2...Kick Out! Right at three, Christian kicked out of the pin. After hitting a signature frog splash, Christian locked the Dolph's arms into an Unprettier, BAM! 1...2...Kick Out! What?! Two kick outs from Dolph? As Christian turned to complain to the ref, Dolph hit him with another ZZ, but Edge came sprinting out to the ring! Dolph covers, but it makes no difference, Edge is distracting the ref! At long last, when the ref finally leaves, Christian locks up another Unp... Reversal! Dolph puts Christian into the Sleeper Hold, where Christian has no choice but to tap!

Rating: ****, Dolph wins via submission.

CM Punk v Kane: Or at least, I thought that would be the match. Kane decided to send his former lackey, Vladimir Kozlov, in to take his place in the match. A surprised was so surprised that when Kozlov hit an Iron Curtain on him, the match was already over! After the bell rang, Kozlov gave Punk a few whacks with the chair before Kane came out to congratulate him. It would seem Kane's "diabolical" plan worked out for him this time.

Rating: **, Kozlov wins via pinfall.

Show Summary: A pretty good episode, although I was disappointed I didn't get to see a Punk/Kane match. Its kind of a good lead in to Fatal Fourway though.

Show Rating: ***

Fatal 4Way Lineup Card

1. Kane v Punk v Lesnar v Orton HIAC/Tables (WHW Championship)

2. Iron Senator v Kozlov (US Championship)

3. Kelly Kelly v McCool v Eve v Maryse (Divas Championship)

4. Edge v Ziggler Ladder Match (Intercontinental Championship

5. Miz v Cena v Big Show v McIntyre

6. Triple H v Rey Mysterio (WWE Championship)

The only things I couldn't decide was a) Did I want a HIAC match (used one last PPV) and b) did I was HHH/Mysterio as the main event, or did I want the WHW Championship as my main event?

It was the first time I saw that too the other night after many hrs of gameplay..so maybe there are some more hidden gems in "U", D-Bry VS Angle..after the match he propped up Angle up to post and kicked him right in the chops. OMG is was awesome..I was not sure if anyone else saw it yet..but was going to post..great job Loose....that's what started a mass feud, that is still on going in my "U".

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

RAW!!!!!
1. Zack Ryder V.S John Cena W/ Eve
John Cena and Eve are both heels and there both a part of the embracers of hate.
Back and fourth match John Cena was beating the crap out of Zack Ryder.John got a AA but it wasnt enough to keep Zack down but Zack Got a signature and used it but john reversed the rough ryder and used the AA and won.
After the match john cena went for a chair but a returning Triple H stopped that from happening.Did he just joined the Kliq with ryder and nash dont asked why i put ryder in it lol.
2.The Miz and Christian V.S Dolf Ziggler
Longest tag match i have ever seen it was pretty awesome lol.It was a great match with alot of tag ins.After a spear and Killswitch couldnt put swagger down.So Christian decided to roll up swagger and got the win.It was a cheap ending to a great tag match.
3.Eve Lost to Natalya for the #1 contendership for the divas title at HIAC
4.Handicap Match Kevin Nash V.S Jacob Cass and Kane.Two is better than one lol good match cass got the super kick.EOH wins

[LOOSECANNON]

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



Jeff Hardy vs. Raven. Hardy was beaten by Roode at Souled Out, Raven literally walked out on his rivalry with Taz last week. Raven appears to be the only guy on the fence about ECW and Taz these days--so much, that he's playing double duty. Highlights: Downloaded the new "rendered" J. Hardy and his entrance is much more apt to the TNA than the other WWE-one. I'm glad I already had the new song and what not. Seems like after Hardy lost the title, he's now got another demeanor! Highlights: Jeff runs through Raven like Ron Jeremy ran through porn actresses. Swanton dive for the victory. Winner: Hardy.

I think I've noticed something. Whenever the CPU offers you to perform "Interfere" with the Y, I think that means the match will be without a cutscene. if you notice, the remarkable matches don't allow you to interfere, meaning that more than likely they will already have cutscene. I do apologize if this is old news.

With that said...

TNA Knockouts (Non-title): Michelle McCool (Champ) vs. Vickie Guerrero. Cutscene: I had Beth Phoenix interfere. The cool part was, I destroyed both participants and was rewarded an achievemen called "Pandemonium" for destroying the match completely! Winner: No Contest.

TNA/ECW Tag Title Tourney, Round 1, Match 5 Do-over: Demolition vs. The Road Warriors. Since RVD & Sabu balked out of the tourney due to injuries sustained from D-X, Sting made a point to bring back his ol' pals, the Road Warriors and also get Ax & Smash another shot. So here we go! Highlights: Not many for these ol' fogies. Winners: L.O.D. Cutscene: None. I guess it doesn't always happen when you don't have the choice!

Main Event - Champion vs. Champion - Cage Match (Non-title): Bobby Roode (TNA Champ) vs. Austin Aires (X-Division Champ). Sting's not messing around, getting this match up in a cage right away! He knows with the excitement that has been The Rock's title reign and Edge's return that RAW is a huge sell right now, and ECW has shattered Thursday wrestling ratings all over with it's Hardcore brand. So, why not raise the ante and throw your 2 brand champs in the ring and lock 'em up! Especially after what Aires did to Roode at Souled Out. Not the congratulatory response Bobby was looking for I'll say! Highlights: Pretty rugged match near the cells for a good portion. I'm still unsure how to climb the Hell in the Cell...the LB button won't work for me. Also, it says you can perform Finishers through the top and bottom right of the cell, and they never work there either. Somehow help? Regardless, Roode made Aires tap in fashion, getting his revenge. Winner: Roode. NO CUTSCENES on a whole program that was 100% CPU booked. BOO.

Goodnight, everybody.
