I got WWE 2K22 and legit have only played GM Mode as that was the main reason I got it. It’s limited (even after the updates) but still a fun enough time (when save data doesn’t corrupt). I’d have played more Universe mode if it weren’t for those save issues happening all the time, wiping out any downloaded wrestlers/arenas/shows. If there are any significant changes to GM Mode in 2K23 (and the data issue is resolved), I’ll probably pick it up eventually.
That sucks. I remember that happening a lot with WWF No Mercy back in the day. It felt like every other week I was having to recreate my CAWs all over again.

I was lucky enough to not get a copy with that save bug.
As usual, the Bloodline stuff was captivating tonight, even though it bordered on telegraphed to the point Stevie Wonder saw it coming. They also need to stop the stupid crowd sweetening bullcrap. It’s as bad as it’s ever been.

I also watched the first hour of the new RoH show. I didn’t expect it to be a 2 hour show. I have thoughts, but I still need to finish it.

Think about just watching wrasslin
I dug most of the Bloodline angle tonight but Cody was not the dude I wanted to make the save. Thought it would’ve been nice for the Sami/Owens reconciliation to happen tonight since they won the ROH tag titles in Boston back in 08, but I figured WWE wouldn’t harken back to anything like that (especially nowadays). It also ended way too abruptly, no time for the angle to breathe. But still good stuff mostly.

I’m only a few minutes in and the GM Mode already seems way better in 2K23.

Yep. This is why I never played No Mercy a lot after playing World Tour, Revenge and Wrestlemania 2000 to death. I had a first print run with the data glitch. Once it erased my career progress, I never played it again.

"A new wrestling game which serves as a love letter to the classic wrestling games of the late 90s. Ultra Pro Wrestling is a sandbox game that encourages players to create/edit their own wrestling superstars, promotions and events. Fight for the UPW Championship Title in ranked online matches or play through a multitude of match types in a deep and dynamic single player career mode."
It reached its Kickstarter goal. Confirmed for PC and Switch so far and also PlayStation and Xbox but they don't know if they're going with last gen or not.

They’re clearly reusing AKI animations here. From the grapple to the entirety of that Falcon Arrow. It looks like trash and I hope it doesn’t go anywhere.

I'm honestly barely interested in wrestling games for the actual gameplay these days. I like the booking modes like MyGM or Universe. I still have a save on Extreme Warfare Revenge that I revisit all the time, solely because I enjoy the booking side of things more. Fire Pro Wrestling World has a pretty neat promoter mode too.
Also have Wrestling Sim on Steam and Total Extreme Wrestling but haven't really gotten into either of those yet.

That's interesting. I have always wondered if people played those modes, I have never had an interest in them.

Yeah, this is gonna sound so nerdy, but with the WWF games on N64 (not sure if the WCW games had the feature, but their CAW mode was nowhere near as detailed anyway) I feel like I had spent almost as much time simulating matches between CPU characters as I did actually playing the game myself.
My friend had a wrestling sim on his PC called TNM 7. I was jealous of that because I didn't have a PC of my own but he'd let me book shows when I'd visit. When I was at home I'd book my own shows and simulate the matches in the game, write down the results in a notebook and I'd also write out descriptions of the matches (any noteworthy spots) and promos to hype up the next event. I wish I still had that notebook just to look through it now for craps and giggles, but I tossed it out 9 or 10 years ago when packing up for a move.
The guy that made TNM is now a German commentator for AEW and Impact Wrestling.
Yet for some reason the GM modes in the WWE games, I never really bothered with them. I never even looked into them to see what features they offered, but I had always just assumed they were a half-assed effort at those late 90s/early 2000s wrestling sim apps on PC. I'll give it a try in WWE 2k23 instead of dismissing it so easily this time.

I like the YouTube videos that people upload where they give every title for one wrestler and then sim an entire year to see how many titles the person has at the end of the year.

That match between Charlotte and Shotzi last night has people talking...for the wrong reasons. The match was subpar, something Shotzi is no stranger to since being called up to the main roster. She's just been really sloppy.
Is it weird to say I like Shotzi and I even like Corbin, but I can't recall the last match either of them were involved in that I actually looked forward to?

Corbin’s fine but has been booked like butt, Shotzi is not good unfortunately. That said the folks honing their criticisms down to the speed of those Charlotte/Shotzi sequences should need to prove that they can run literally any distance in order to be taken seriously.

Shotzi is green. No pun intended. She could’ve used more time on the indies/NXT before being called up. Her entrance is cool, but that’s about where the good ends as far as I can tell.
Baron Corbin has been booked like crap for years, and will continue to be booked like crap. Ever since he lost that money in the bank title shot in like a minute, he hasn’t been taken seriously. He’s good, but he’s boring, and not taken seriously. It won’t get better for him.

Apparently Wyatt’s off Mania as he’s not happy with the creative.
Don’t blame him, his return run has been pure buttstink.

According to ol' Sapp it's actually nothing to do with him being unhappy with creative, it's "an undisclosed physical issue."
But still, as long as he is capable of walking and talking (which is 99% of what he does these days), they should use him at WrestleMania in some capacity.

I hope they figure out something for Lashley. He deserves to be on that card in a meaningful role.
