It's funny that when I think of royal rumble 2000 I think of this game instead of the actual event. This one one of the few ppvs from that era that my family didn't order
That’s honestly not even that bad. I mean for comparison the oldest American football game where everyone is still alive is… this years game… that hasn’t been released yet… and that may change by the time it does…
MDickie is a legend. One man and he has somehow turned his joke of a games into some of the best wrestling games out there. True dedication in to the craft.
I still remember everything from 2K20. After a few months of this torture I went back to 2K19. It´s still a great game. 8:08 I think one of the new features of the new engine in WWE 12 was that you could change directions while performing a move. For example while doing a spinbuster you can turn left and right. Only works with some moves though.
I don't think The Undertaker will ever leave WWE games because he is such an important part of wrestling history and the greatest wrestler of all time. but if there is ever a game that does not have him then I'm starting a fire at 2K or who ever works on WWE games in the future
What about Benoit in SVR 2008? I know his moves could still be reached by Gameshark. His finisher was called the "Clippler Crossface" (sic). I don't think there were any models or anything, though.
Yeah I had that initially, but I didn't want to include all of the wrestlers were that were taken out of games because that would get repetitive after awhile. I also had Big Cass being taken out of 2k19, Big Show being taken out of no mercy, and others. And I wanted to keep the video down to 40 topics. I wanted a lengthy video but not overly lengthy video.
Some good news for you mate, not sure if your familiar with Scott Jay, but he recently made a mod of SVR 08 with Benoits model included, if i'm correct, it's his SVR 08 model, or a recreation of it within the game, not his SVR 07 Model. There's some other models ripped from 07 but they retain the slightly glossy, shiny look that 08 is famous for
He also confirmed that Super Fire Pro was actually supposed to have 2 endings. He requested that one of the endings needed to be removed, and the ending that the developers actually removed was the GOOD ending.
This taught me that some of my favorite wrestlers died and even though he wasn’t my favorite wrestler but my favorite tv show character Captain Lou will always hold a place in my heart same a Scott hall for being the first WWE action figure I got
The Andy Organ bit got me good lmfao, also i "love" the Razor Ramon ending because he came to my country and opened a pawn shop lol it is a bit sad too since the news.. Amazing video nonetheless you made me laugh my ass off haha
Nice video but some corrections: Lance Storm is available in games from WWE, ECW, and WCW as well as Raven. "Predator Technology" was the engine to interrupt active moves and encourage more realistic transitions in a match, not specifically a wake-up taunt. Also, the "generic garbage" nWo theme in Wrestlemania X8 was actually produced by Jim Johnston and used by the WWENWO in real life too.
Funny thing about the Hogan WrestleMania X8 theme is, it was literally made as a replacement to the regular NWO theme when they couldn't get the rights to it at the time, it also appeared on stuff like DVDs and is even now on one of the uncaged albums
Former THQ Sanders Keel did a podcast where he said he was assigned to Nitro in the middle of its development (and he wasn't the first.) He said they kept telling that team to work on gameplay, but every build just had more strange characters and sets
@@MortalisPT lmao he was not the first producer assigned to that group and they had already got AKI to make their WCW games lol I bet it was very fustrating as Taz might say
Man I just wanna say I love your videos! I've been nonstop binge watching them and they're so good. Also, I wanna praise you for the fact that you included Teryo Law and the Bumpmeister community on your iceberg. That's such a niche but awesome community. I do admit it would've been cool if you also mentioned Leon Blackgrave, probably one of the biggest and most popular figures in the scene. Either way, loved the video, and hope to see more of your stuff.
Appreciate that bro! Yeah I wasn't necessarily "in" the bumpmeister community. I was a 13 year old kid who saw cool edits in a wrestling game I liked. I knew of Teryo law but didn't really know much past that. I didn't even know it was a community until I heard a New Legacy Inc member mention the term "bumpmeister" on one of their streams and it brought all the memories back from over a decade ago. I tried to look up some more things about the community or anything in general, but info online was really scarce so I just decided to mostly include this entry based on my memory.
Ah yes, the magic wand storyline. I encountered this while playing as William Regal (who still wears the USA bikini as a woman). Anyway you get hit on by Viscera, face Candice at the end in female form and then afterwards you learn the whole thing was a coma dream (the wand shot at the beginning put you out for quite a while).
Sanders Keel, (formerly of THQ) mentioned on the Insiders Edge podcast that he took reference photos of Owen and Goldust two weeks before the accident for Wrestlemania 2000 for N64. So Owen was going to actually going to be in a good 3D wrestling game. There's still hope yet since AEW Games announced that he's going to be Yuke's AEW game with the WWF No Mercy director Hideyuki 'Geta-san" Iwashita, which might be called Fight Forever. I really hope it's a good game.
16:54 Speaking of that survey thing, I think WWE SuperCard was possibly a mixture between options 2 and 3. I play SuperCard and it's a turn-based RPG, plus the training/pro carding feature in that game, alongside with pitting said train cards against opponent cards, especially a mildly story-based Campaign Mode. The game is at its tenth season, so that's the reason why it might be based from that said survey.
9:30 I don't know a lot about mini discs but my guess is that data limits were in play. It's likely all the themes are different in some way. It was like that on N64 as well.
Fred Durst is also in WWF Raw on the PC/ original Xbox but surprisingly he's not in Wrestlemania X8 on the gamcube which Undertaker also uses "Rollin" in aswell.
5:42 Fun fact about them (AKI): Hey, don't worry because at least they even made an Japan-exclusive PSP Yakuza game with Sega, called Kurohyou: Ryu Ga Gotoku Shinsho (correct me if I'm wrong lmao)
It really sucks that when it comes to wrestlin games, we don't have that many good options. I really love these games but the choices for whats there feels like could use more in the catalogue. And it makes sense, these aren't easy to make games, but it still sucks that its like this. Maybe hopefully down the line, we'll get more entries for people to try out
he said that UNLESS THERE WERE ANY like if he got unearthed years after his retirement to be like, a murderer or a rapist or something. Wasn't accusing him just saying that, that'd be the only thing causing his removal.
I think it's talking about wrestlers court. Taker had a "court" where he would judge wrestlers for backstage or in ring mistakes. And sometimes he'd give out pretty harsh punishments
Booker T's theme is a remix of a licensed track called "Rap Sheet". The main portion after "Can You Dig It Sucka" was also used by Booker and his brother in WCW as Harlem Heat. As demonstrated by AEW, the Hardy theme also is a popular licensed track that appears as BGM. It's a licensed track called "Loaded". Thanks for the video.
I'm surprised that GameDay didn't mention this about 5 Star Wrestling in the Iceberg just like Suicide 5 Star Wrestling would actually become a actual wrestling promotion for only a couple of months because they wanted to host a unrealistic thousand man tournament and they were going to advertise the tournament as being the in ring return of CM Punk and I'm not kidding about that they wanted to pay CM Punk over a million dollars to make his in ring return in the tournament but CM Punk turned down the offer and the tournament Never happened misleading everyone and had to cancel every upcoming event closing down
9:06 This one always felt off, spcecialy because Thw Hardys theme song is just a sample from a public library soundboard (Thats why AEW can use it with no problem, unlike other wwe themesongs)
It isn't. The Hardys song "Loaded" was created by Zack Tempest and was never owned by the WWE, they had to pay him to use the song, so i guess they failed to reach an agreement to use the song in Shut Your Mouth and WM X8.
@@GameDayonYT I think AEW is not only using it, but copyrighted it. So, even if the Hardy Boyz when back to WWE (doubt it tbh), they can’t use the loaded theme anymore.
I’ve heard the hardy boyz theme in tons of unrelated medias before. I think I’ve heard it on some shows on MTV before and I definitely remember hearing it in some crappy ATV off-road game for the original xbox lol
For the enforcer 2k and wwe definitely reached out to mike Tyson but mike refused because he wasn’t going to get paid enough even though he was in a previous wwe game before this for wwe 13
It was related to the cover athlete Randy Orton being the Apex Predator. It was just marketing. They rebuilt the engine and allowed you to interrupt moves as well.
Those screenshot from PSM have nothing to do with AKI's WCW game. They're from a canceled PS2 of Backstage Assault. It's right there in the article. "Release date: Q4 2000" and I know for sure AKI weren't working on a WCW and WWF game at the same time.
YEs,but you can import CM into careere mode In UFC. In this reality Cm not only held welterweight gold, But also the Middle Weight & LHW champion. played on hard But with the settings sliders set to pro only diff is being able to see the left and right icons when on the ground for countering. give it a try.. it was nooot easy lol
The great thing is, I was 12 when the weird boogeyman edge wand thing happened and its the only wwe game i played the storyline in. So I just assumed until today all wwe storylines were that dumb 😂
And kinda weird raven just appreared and jake roberts and ddp podcast yesterday and raven made a suprise appearance and they were talkin about how he worked with all the companies then saw this an hour later sayin how hes in all the games lol interesting
Rest In Peace Scott Hall
Legend fr 😔 but I only heard of him the day he died
R.I.P he was the best bad man ever
At least he lives in the WWE 2K games.
He will be missed
Just glad Scott didn't die alone like the arcade game made it sound like he would
Andy organs theme rules
I hear noises in my brain-Andy Organ
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Andy organ 😂😂
“R-A-NO” 😂
Never gonna forget his match against James Pena
Fun fact: Royal Rumble released in arcades and the Dreamcast in 2000, as of now is the oldest WWE game where everybody on the roster is alive.
👁👄👁
Sad statistic
I still have the game

"When I was 6, I was asking 'Why does a Ho cost that much?'"
Andy Organs theme absolutely killed me 🤣
If Randy Orton signs with AEW or Impact, That will be his theme song 15:52
The gags here killed me. You got yourself a new sub.
Never guess that this will someday come out, wrestling videogames have too much lost things

One of the most famous lost characters in a WWE game, crazy he didn't put it in.
Has no one mentioned that he spelled crippler wrong just saying
the super fire pro wrestling ending can only be explained by one thing:
it was written by suda51
wow.
just wow
He also confirmed that Super Fire Pro was actually supposed to have 2 endings. He requested that one of the endings needed to be removed, and the ending that the developers actually removed was the GOOD ending.
Fun fact, that guy who voiced Cena in 19 was the same guy who voiced Kenny in the Tell Tale Walking Dead game.
Nice fact.
This taught me that some of my favorite wrestlers died and even though he wasn’t my favorite wrestler but my favorite tv show character Captain Lou will always hold a place in my heart same a Scott hall for being the first WWE action figure I got

Hogan always appears with his bandana in the video games at his request. Insecurities about his forehead no doubt.

I can just hear the Booker T theme being remixed to have a bunch of "WOAH's" and other crash bandicoot sounds
“Hopefully they get off to an explosive start” the clip used….so accurate to how that game turned out
8:57 is wierd because the Hardy's theme is already Public Domain/royalty free, so copyrights wouldnt be an issue
Is that WrestleMania X8 music I hear?
I haven’t watched this video yet but this is going to be a good one
Late response but I finished watching the video and it was good
I forgot which game but they used Jim Ross catchphrase slobber knocker where you played as one wrestler and defeated as many others as possible

1:34 that is the most luchador finisher i ever seen
Finally a video with good audio involving this topic
SD vs R 2007 is by far one of my favorite games ever
Fred Durst and MDickie showing up so early on the iceberg makes me a very happy man.
Nice use of Rayman 2 soundtrack. It's the "whish you were here" of Dreamcast game soundtracks.
Bro 5 star wrestling was elite, I loved how you could reverse a finisher with a finisher.
