Also: I played way more WCW/nWo Revenge as a kid than No Mercy for some reason. I was always a WWF kid back then, so maybe Revenge was just available at my local rental spot. But I love that game and for nostalgia purposes alone, I'd probably choose Revenge.

I remember very vividly thinking it was weird how up to date the game was for the time it was released. It released in October 1998 (yep, I googled it) and it had the Wolfpac and Sting had the red and black and they had Wolfpac gear for Macho Man and I think Goldberg was even the World Champion.
WWF War zone had guys in it that weren't there for like 8 months before it came out. Apparently Acclaim devs fought to keep them in when WWF wanted them out (for obvious reasons). That game was great for its time, but everything they did from Attitude to Legends of Wrestling was bad. I really... really... really wanted that series to work. Those games all felt like a good foundation for something grander, but never got to realize 1% of that potential.

East Coast should be 8PM air time. You're probably getting a bunch of Dark or Elevation matches first then. Have fun if you go!

I soured on No Mercy because I had one of the glitched carts that deleted your single player progress. It also have pretty bad slowdown in some instances.

WWE could not have presented a more boring episode of Raw if they actively tried. The opening promised a show that they didn’t deliver, instead opting for 2 filler matches that did nothing to progress the Bloodline story. The main event was a good match that ultimately resulted in a flat finish for the episode overall. Mia Yim was used as a scapegoat to protect the other ladies involved in that match. Alexa Bliss was OFF big time, and the Wyatt stuff is really, really bad.
This is not how I wanted the Triple H era to start, but my fingers are still crossed.
Taking Wednesday off for NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 17. On the East Coast, so I’ll need to nap after work on Tuesday so I can be up by 1:20 AM for the start of the show. Despite that, veeeeeey pumped to watch.

I'll probably try to download Wrestle Kingdom tomorrow. I don't want to have to sit at my PC all night, I'd be more than willing to subscribe to NJPW World if they'd finally put the freakin' app on Roku already.

I guess it works real well on Xbox One’s browser if you have one. At least that’s what I’ve read.
I just have my laptop hooked up to my giant TV right now. Gonna have to hope my 2 1/2 nap that I woke up from at 8:30 is enough to suffice until the morning haha. No way I’m missing Ospreay/Omega live (unless I pass out and/or away).

It was flat for me. I thought her hair looked dumb as hell. I imagine the attention to detail was exquisite and props to whoever did it, but not for me.

Her hair was stupid looking, and the one move they did was a little rushed, but I’m more just excited for the possibilities it opens up. An actually good wrestler getting to actually wrestle without constraints is always good to see. I dunno if you watched it as it aired, but it was also just cool to see happen live. It was a legit moment. She got a huge pop when she entered, despite the WWE internet diehards who are downplaying it because the Japanese-speaking audience who were legit told to only cheer in 20-second spurts didn’t react belligerently for every single sentence of her promo like US fans would.
Anyhow, I doubt any match this year tops Omega/Ospreay. A near perfect match if I’ve ever seen one. And Okada/White was fantastic as well, especially the last 10 minutes or so. The last sequence was out of this world good.
Overall, even with the somewhat short matches in the undercard, Wrestle Kingdom set an extremely high bar for 2023.

I didn't watch live. I don't have New Japan World. I have enough streaming services as it is.
I hope the possibilities she has set the world on fire. It's always great to hear stuff like a good wrestler being able to wrestle without constraints like they have in WWE, but we'll have to wait and see what happens. It could be great, or it could flop.

Alls I need are good matches. That’s all I’m hoping for, and the landscape is huge.
If you ever feel like borrowing my NJPW World or ROH Honor Club login, let me know. You helped me get into this type of wrestling with our old ROH DVD trades haha. Totally down for sharing, and that goes for anyone else in the thread too. If yall feel like watching some good stuff, let me know.
