Partly cos I was a kid and I didn't care. But more so, because when the WWF told me someone was a two-bob local talent, then I'd believe that. Cos with no internet, it's not like I had any way of knowing any better. And when said talent then got their ass easily kicked by a "proper" WWF wrestler, that made perfect sense.

    Fast Forward 30+ years to today though, and here's AEW doing exactly the same thing (even down to the local-wrestler-already-in-the-ring-give-the-crowd-a-little-wave-when-your-name-appears intros), but in a very different landscape. Cos now I know who a lot of these supposed jobbers are. And I know how good they are. So when wrestlers like Janai Kai or Willow Nightingale are being jobbed out to the likes of Velvet and Rhodes in a couple of minutes, my kayfabometer has a bit of meltdown.

    Subsequently, booking that back in the 80's had felt perfectly reasonable to me, now comes across as... a sort of arrogance. It's like, the idea that purely because someone is signed with AEW, they're automatically better than anyone that isn't. Which sure, is basically the entire point. But I do still feel like it wouldn't hurt have hurt AEW (or their wrestlers) if the results had been a little more unpredictable, and visiting wrestlers could have picked up wins too. I say that in the past tense, as it would have had to have been a thing pretty much from the start. They're probably too far gone to change it now.

    But in a world where it's now a simple task to find out more about a wrestler you might not have already heard of (particularly for the audience of a show which only airs online anyway!), and with AEW still making such a big whoop about the importance of wins and losses (which becomes meaningless when wrestlers will just automatically wrack up the W's however frequently they appear on Dark), then surely having a more "competitive" structure to Dark/Elevation wouldn't have been such a bad thing, would it?
    that's one way to look at it i guess. when i see kai or nightingale on dark it just tells me they're on aew's radar, and that's a good thing. also a good thing brandi is wrestling on dark rather than tv.

    Like Madden I usually wait a few years til prices are cheap for these games. I haven't bought a WWE game since the 2018 edition from like a year ago. So I wait a couple years on these EA games due to this.

    I haven't brought a WWE game since 2K16. The games stopped being fun for me when it became more of a wrestling simulator. I miss the arcade gameplay of the old smackdown games

    I have the WWE 2K18 game for the PS4. I enjoy it, but since I have no interest in the online option of playing against other actual people, it doesn't matter to me that I didn't buy the game until 2020.

    Yuke's ENT -- untitled AEW -- 2022 Q3 release TBD



    AEW have put over $10M into development of this game.

    That is a big sum ...

    hmmm big WWE PPV coming up and the biggest topic of discussion are video games? What are this boards Royal Rumble predictions?
    Mine are:
    Lashley over Lesner with some outside help from the Usos.
    Rollins over Reigns via DQ probably a Lesner run in
    Men's Royal Rumble: Probably Lesner
    Women's Royal Rumble: Either Rousey or Belair
    Maryse and Miz over Edge and Beth feud lasts til Mania
    Becky over Doudrop.
    A pretty stacked card I am excited to see.

    Lashley over Lesner
    Reigns via DQ
    Rumble - Lesnar
    Women's - Rousey - she is going after Big Time Becks.
    Becky over Dipshit or whatever her name is. lol
    The it couple, via shenanigans.

    Lashley is champ and we still get Lesnar Reigns at Mania for the title.

    As he's not in the Rumble he can't go for both titles unless he faces the RAW champ in a unification match, and then he'd have to show up on both shows and have the entire roster after him, and people would pretty quickly stop caring and be bored to death...

    That was kind of the point that we are already there with him so I don't think that giving him both belts would improve that if not just make it terribly worse...

    There's always some BS reason they can put him in the rumble or in the title picture at WM ppl stopped caring last year Broc didn't show up on raw for 2 years as UC you think Romen has to? Also they aren't unifi the titles he is just going to be WWE champion and UC at the same time.
