Those hosts make me want to buy the game far less than I did before watching that.

I came in here to post that. Good lord is it embarrassing to watch. I think she unintentionally shits all over fans by insinuating that they are all nerds/geeks/losers etc.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

I'm on the internet discussing wrestling, video games, and TV so I definitely fall into 1 or 3 of those categories... but youtube unboxers deserve it.

 

[vivisectvi]

AJ would've been the better choice for this, of course, but apparently she's supposed to be a heel, so...

I like that they're showing off multiple attires in some of these. Long hair Diesel for the entrance and then mullet Diesel for the finisher.

[DrVenkman PhD]

I wasn't sure if they were showing off multiple attires or just forgot to switch it when they spliced in exhibition footage.

Am I hearing Bret's classic theme in this one?

[MillenniumMan831]

I wonder why the WrestleMania XXX logo displays for the old timers.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

It's their "30 Years of WrestleMania" logo for guys with no real mini/side trons, much like last years WWE Attitude logo.

I find with the new sets there's just too much of it and I will probably customize every pre-HD era guy to have no logos for that, or a HOF logo or something nicer.

 

[MillenniumMan831]

Good call. Yeah, looks like I'll do the same. I'll probably also change a lot of themes just for the hell of it.

Ryback - Kronik
Khali - 70s Guy
Goldberg - His WCW theme
Savage - His real theme

And for whatever reason, I change Dolph's tune every year to the one The Mecca of Manhood Shawn Stasiak used in WCW in 2001.

 

[vivisectvi]

I hate that Savage has never had his legit theme in any of his game appearances. Definitely one of the first I'm changing.

I also usually change Austin's to the Disturbed version and have him run as a heel in Universe mode.

Some other's I'm changing:

Undertaker - Ministry theme
Triple H - original version of My Time (not the Steph version), or the Evolution theme if I re-create that stable in Universe (finally have all members on the game roster again)
Hollywood Hogan - Voodoo Chile
Hennig - Mr Perfect theme (assuming they're just giving him the nWo theme)
Steiner - WWE return theme with the sirens (also assuming he will just have the nWo theme by default)

I'm also pretty excited to have Bobby Heenan in this as a manager this year. Though, it sucks that they haven't really improved manager functionality (based on the videos I've seen). It looks like they still just follow far behind the wrestler and do the same kind of interfering as previous years. It would also be nice if you could set a manager for the stables you create, instead of having to waste a slot on a non-wrestler who eventually gets picked as a tag team partner. I had to constantly keep changing Austin & Vince to Austin & Triple H for my Power Trip stable last year.. even when it had Austin & Triple H as THE tag team for the stable it would still keep putting Vince into tag team matches with Austin.

Apparently there is a third attire for Diesel for WMXI, as well. The in-ring portion of that video shows off his WMX "bodyguard" attire from the IC title ladder match, which I guess is why he wrestles with the vest on. Pretty cool that they seem to be going all-out with the attires this year, though!

Yay to the Hall Chokeslam.
Nay to that wake-up taunt... not to sound like the YT commentators, but that is being immediately replaced (I assume the trademark "It's Over!" taunt is in there so I'll throw that one in).

Same. It's pretty out of place on Razor, IMO.

 

[Angle-plex]

what's wrong with macho man's theme? sounds the same to me

 

[Angle-plex]

also lol at them cutting away before HHH tapped again.

 

[vivisectvi]

His WWF theme was much more "epic" - for lack of a better word - sounding. This new one sounds more like some generic version of Pomp and Circumstance.

In fairness they've never actually shown someone tapping to a finisher in these videos.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

They do it with Rick Rude too. They always give him the crappy 1987 rendition of his theme instead of the more epic one that everyone is familiar with.

They were pretty generous with his character models waistline..

 

[Broward83]

Dub, the theme Bret comes out to in the vid against Bryan is his shitty as fuck remixed version.

AFA changing themes, I think if I get this some will be:

Perfect: Theme from Exodus
Savage: Original theme
Hogan: Voodoo Chile
Steiner: Sirens
D Bry: Final Countdown
Goldberg: Whichever theme he had that was heavy on drum/guitar
Cena: Can't C Me by 2pac

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

I don't know - me, dub, and the people of YT seem to hear his 1994 theme.
