Well this is for wrestling fans, as the other threads I made regarding wrestling are dead and burried, but anyway, for anybody who watches TNA(Total Nonstop Action)(which is just a name, the action isn't really nonstop), probably knows of two wrestlers, Rob Van Dam and Jeff Hardy. Certainly my two fav's of all time, and they always had great matches.

A quick match in 97, the hardcore match at Invasion, the hardcore ladder match the following month at Summerslam, both of those PPV's were in 2001 of course. Not to mention of couple of matches on RAW that were really good, a ladder match and a pinfall one. Anyway, just wanted to type this all out, hopefully we, or I, possibly Barber too(if you like those two guys) get to see a great classic match on a TNA PPV or at least in the Impact Zone.

And whoever makes the TNA games nowadays needs to hurry the hell up and make TNA Impact 2, before RVD or Hardy aren't in TNA anymore, as having those two as part of a current roster in a game would be amazing, and I have been waiting for it for a long time.

Anybody remember Wrestlemania X8 or Smackdown: Shut Your Mouth, a couple of older wrestling games, well they both have RVD & Hardy, but they are so old, they are graphically inferior, gameplay wise, they are both still fun, especially SYM, but the little control issues make it harder to go back and play.

So here's for a new wrestlling game, whether it be WWE, TNA or whomever, to have both Rob Van Dam & Jeff Hardy in there, together, legitimately, not Hardy & I have to creat RVD, and not RVD but I have to create Hardy....

Out.

I watch WWE and TNA, although I have to be in a good mood to watch TNA sometimes. It's not that I don't like it, but 10 hours of pro wrestling a week seems a bit much. Plus, WWE seems very limited with what it can do with the strict PG rules.

I really enjoy the SvR games, however they need a lot of work done to them. SvR 2011 is not much fun because all my moves get countered really easily, and nobody should be able to get up after a Tombstone Piledriver. It takes forever to win a Money in the Bank match or a Championship Scramble due to the unfair numbers.

I like some of the extra features like the story creator. It's cool how you can make all sorts of real life rivalries take place in the game as the WWE Universe is in control of the outcome. It's like you're Vince Russo, only way better.

I also burned a lot of music to my hard drive, so Ministry Undertaker and Masked Kane have their original theme music. Druid, Kane, Undertaker and Paul Bearer are my stable of choice. Yes, you can get it on PS2. But on the 360, you have more options and of course, more DLC.

It's sort of the opposite with me, I watch TNA much more often, very regularly. I watched RAW often enough to know what's going on, and I only watch Smackdown every now and again.

I stopped watching WWE in 2004, and didn't start up again til mid last year...PG, while not cool, I don't see what it's affecting, that is, in regard to matches. I've seen little things, but most of it is probably story related, being censored and all.

The SvR games do need work, but on the whole, I think the controls are nearly perfect. I really like that they implimented groggy quick grapples again, I wish we had quick and groggy quick grapples, in addition to the four strong grapples.

I agree a bit about reversals. The timing needs to be worked on for some of it. On the whole though, it's pretty fair. I think the CPU's whore out running attacks. It gets to the point where I only ever get knocked down by reversals or running grapples, and they also get pinned too easily.

Otherwise, if they just make a few changes here and there to the gameplay, I'll be happy. Did you notice how they took out so many moves from 2010? That is the worst crime of all. Playing as RVD in 2011, while still fun, mainly because of the controls, and how good it looks, graphically, the lack, of signature, trademark moves, especially the ones that were in 2010, is unnacceptable.

Universe is much cooler than I initially though. I initially thought I would hate it, so yeah.

I haven't gotten any DLC, but I'm thinking that if they put the moves back in, via DLC, that would make a lot of happy campers.

I've used music from the hard drive, but it's much louder than the rest...hopefully that gets fixed.

What do you think about what's been going on with Mania, Taker, HHH, etc?

Also, I've recently become a fan of a couple of the divas, Melina & Natalya, they've had some really good matches, and I'm finding that more entertaining than a lot of their male counterpart's matches.

How about TNA's Knockouts Division? I myself like Madison Rayne.

Not since 2004? Wow. Then you've missed LOADS and loads of unimportant events.

Basically, all you need to know is that some Vanilla Ice wannabe turned soldier turned something else called John Cena is the main man now. Totally overrated and boring in the ring. Fortunately for some, The Rock has returned after a long hiatus and he cut a very funny promo on both Cena and the current WWE Champion, The Miz.

WWE had revived ECW in 2006, but got rid of it in 2010. This big chocolate log called Ezekiel Jackson beat Christian and thus is now known for being the last ever E see dub ya champ.

Then they came up with this show "NXT" where rookies try to win a WWE contract by outlasting the others through a weekly poll. Well, this Wade Barrett guy won it, and he and all the other rookies returned and formed a group called Nexus. They had a 7 on 7 match where Cena's team won. Cena even had Bret Hart in the team, although he never really got physical. They still carry on this story, only the group are on both shows and the other half are now calling themselves The Corre.

Not sure about WrestleMania this year. Triple H is suddenly back and rather than target the man who injured him and put him on the shelf like anybody else would do, he would rather fight The Undertaker, who made his return on the same night...

Just seems a bit pointless to have two men with no beef now in a major match. Apparently, Shawn Michaels is gonna referee this match. Undertaker "retired" him in 2010.

Yeah, the TNA women are both hot and tough. WWE Divas are all right, but a few of them like the two twin sisters are just in it for their looks more than their wrestling ability.

Yeah, from the mid to late 90's, to about 04. Right after Jeff Hardy left....

But anyway, while I did miss out on a few years, I started back up around the time the Nexus first attacked and tore up the ring. My first TNA Impact show I saw was RVD's first match, against Sting.

As for what I've missed, the SvR series has most of the appropriate annual rosters, announcers, moves, etc to keep me privy to what happened in the time I missed. I'm familiar with Super Cena. I remember his first match(I think it was his first, he certainly wasn't a rapper yet).

Since starting up again though, I've seen several that keep me coming back, that's for WWE by the way, as TNA's already got my two number 1 guys.

Morrison, R-Truth(I know, but he grows on you), Orton Melina, are just a few names that I like. Of course all the guys I used to watch, well most are gone, some are still there though. Taker, Kane, Edge, I think Christian just came back, Booker on commentary, etc, etc.

As far as Hunter & Taker, I was hoping for Sting, but if you saw the little vigentte on Impact last thursday(much like the Undertaker one with the cabin), it seems like Sting is still with TNA.

Madison Rayne only has like on trademark move, it's cool, but otherwise I just like her for her. She's the Queen B.

Sarita is really good in the ring, of course Mickie goes without saying, and the others are more or less good too.

Oh, back to Mania for a second. I understand that HHH & Taker have already done it at Mania....kind of lame for the big suprise to be that. The Rock was nice, again, I was dissapointed at first, but once he got on the mic, he made me laugh some, "You can shee me", and Cena's response the following week was great too.

Which of the WWE games have you enjoyed the most?

Favorite Wrestler?

How about favorite female wrestler?

Well back when I owned a Dreamcast, I had this cool game called WWF Attitude. You could design your own wrestlers and give them funny voices and there was plenty of moves to choose from. It took ages to get to the end of that game's version of the season mode, but at least it was entertaining.

My fave TNA Knockout is Angelina Love. It's funny when Taz says "let the pigeons loose". Whatever that means...

I heard Miss Tessmacher broke her jaw. Maybe she's packed wrestling in for now.

Xplosion is the same as Sunday Night Heat in that it just has lower card wrestlers on it in matches, and highlights of stuff you've probably seen on Impact.

I miss the cruiserweight division. They still put the cruiserweight belt in the games, but there's not many light weight superstars left. And Rey Mysterio is way past the stage of that now.

Yeah, I wish Guerrero and Benoit hadn't died. They were the best. WWE has never been quite the same since they died. There was never a boring match when them two were in the ring. I still remember Vengeance '03 when the United States Championship returned to the SmackDown brand as an exclusive title, and Guerrero defeated Benoit in the final match of the tournament held to crown a winner, but of course, Rhino gave Benoit a gore. But it was a good match. The last time I ever saw Benoit face Guerrero was at One Night Stand '05.
