Whenever I create an arena on 2k I use classic ring post. Quite frankly I don't like the whole extra led lights vibe in the first place. For the titantron the ramp. No bring back the classic slanted steel ramp and 10 foot stage at the top.

      Plus WWEs camera crew is way more experienced. As much as it pains me to say, Dunn is way better at cuts than TKs crew. How many times has AEW tried a huge spot only for a novice camera guy to catch the wrong angle or the truck not switch to a different angle quick enough and it was ruined because we saw the gimmick?

    This match was insane. Honestly the best match Roman and Brock ever had, and a wild ride. We got the hear the real Michael Cole for the first time in a long time. Brock and Roman looked great. The tractor was used in fun and creative ways. Brock launched himself off it to start the match, dumping Roman into the ring, and even flipping half the ring. That was totally insane. Theory got involved, and Heyman took a massive table bump. Yes while it did suck that Roman won, yet again. This doesn't hurt Brock, in fact, it makes him look even more like a monster. Look what it took to beat him, It took Theory, the USOs, multiple shots with the MiTB briefcase, multiple title shots, and literally everything they could bury him with to keep him down. That makes Brock look damn near unstoppable. The fans who loved it are still talking about it several days later. The first PPV without Vince is one for the history books. Tony Khan is in a corner somewhere crying because he didn't think about it first and Meltzer is going to hate it, because well it's Meltzer.

    • @goodday2760
      @goodday2760 2 роки тому

      You think he doesn't read what people say online? If anything, Cole probably timed an adjustment to his verbal diarrhea for this moment knowing it would fit well with the narrative that blames McMahon instead of him. Of course he can do that. He wasn't always pure diarrhea. But guess who was in charge back then, when he would have been fired for doing what he'd later do? Vince McMahon. But the truth is coming out now. McMahon was never the problem, it was the yes-men, and fans like you who will be yes-men for the yes-men. I have never ever seen the people blaming McMahon for everything explain away the glory days. Because deep down, they're just terrified of blaming the right people, Cole, Orton, and Cena. They were not a part of WWE's prior success. McMahon is the opposite. He was at the center of it. The culture of participation trophies and softness and fake positivity FORCED McMahon to keep that unholy trinity around all this time as an act of CHARITY to them. And deep down? I think every last person knows it. Look how the defense of Cole boils down to "cmon be sympathetic" which inherently admits he's bad and foretells the online whining that would happen if he got 'bullied'. Orton could've been the check and balance. He could've been like all the other multigenerational names, and kept the standards up. But he's utterly indifferent and lazy.
      One more thing: on the Vince and Pat interview, Pat McAfee very clearly acknowledged that he isn't being controlled on commentary. But I know they will still be pretending Vince controlled everything 100 years from now.

I don't mind indie darlings as much as the next person, good for them, I hope they make a good living off of the business. But bad mtches are bad matches. If you're one of the 'oh it's an art, a performance' camp, sure maybe it is, I'm just saying that a lot of the indie darlings don't put on good performances. If bad acting in bad movies get criticized, expect the same to also happen in wrestling.

    Jim Cornette is showing age here. He's showing the same mindset that McMahon had at an old age. That match between Reigns and Lesnar was meant to be a brawl, and a brawl with an AWESOME visual spectacle. It was a memorable moment, PPV worthy. Reigns and Lesnar have been in... How many straight on wrestling matches?? Summerslam was a fresh take and it was fun to witness. Even if I paid so much money to be at ringside where I couldn't see the wrestlers perform because the ring was raised by a tractor, its still an awesome moment; especially if I had to explain to someone why I couldn't see them, lol. HHH is fresh minded and exciting.

      Nah. That’s just a selfish mindset. The reality is people paid a fortune to sit at ringside for this thing and had the view ruined by a stupid stunt with a tractor that had no reason to be anywhere near the building. Those fans are going to come out of this event thinking “I’m not going to risk buying tickets to these events again”. They’re not going to talk about this to their friends outside the wrestling fanbase because it sounds ridiculous just like most of the wrestling shows now. The only people who’ll praise this are the million or so fans in the online echo chambers that tune into this shit no matter what. They’ll jerk off over this until somebody inevitably one-ups it while the normal people who hear about it or see it will laugh at the Jackass-level shitshow that wrestling has become.

    That being said, I enjoyed this match, not for its wrestling work, but for the spectacle that it was to cap off this stadium show. I do understand Jim’s point about its quality as a wrestling match, and I agree with that point.
