It happened when he and Goldust (who I got the same message about) attacked Santino and Kozlov. Unfortunately they're hovering around #6 and #7 contenders in their feud while DX, Hart Dynasty, and Truth/Morrison dominate the tag division.

I can't wait to get this and end Undertaker's streak in RTWM mode with R-Truth.

 

[Kageho]

I don't recall, but I think vs Undertaker is only CAWs.

Also, I turned CM Punk face after our Table Triple Threat match in which I beat him up. I think I'll enter CM Punk into the Royal Rumble which is only a few weeks away (assuming he's not facing me again) and make him win it, then have him against me at Wrestlemania.

I thought it was a multiple choice storyline with Kofi, Truth, and another. I haven't checked it out yet though.

[Kageho]

Ah, ok. It just selected my CAW, Omega, so I assumed CAWs only.

So, I'm pretty much unchallenged on the RAW side of things. I mean, I've won all my matches so far since becoming Champion, so its becoming a little stale. Though, I mean, I've had cool things happen too. Like while I was fighting an Iron Man match against CM Punk, Jimmy Snuka came out and assaulted both of us. But still, I'm getting a little bored.

Oh yeah, speaking of CAWs, the winner of the Royal Rumble was Kevin Nash. Yeah, that's right. Kevin Nash is going to be participating in the Main Event of Wrestlemania. ...I have no words for how wrong that is, because he's on Smackdown and therefore it'll be him vs Undertaker (who isn't dropping the belt for anyone).

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

I don't actively use Universe to be one person, it's just my Exhibition match stomping grounds and I enjoy watching the developments around them.

That's how I play too.

 

[Kageho]

Oh I haven't been using Omega exclusively. I just was trying to see what happened if I played as the Champion for a long time. So I played him and some others.

So I had Hulk Hogan (MITB winner) pin Omega after his match against Randy Orton, the night after Wrestlemania. Should be interesting to see what happens on Monday nights now. I also think I'll probably do something concerning Smackdown, I'm just inbetween. Edge beat Undertaker to become the World Heavyweight Champion, but I don't wanna play Edge and I'm not sure who I should go with now. Might just bounce around between guys.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

I love how if you put all the Legends to show brands to make them available to the AI in Universe, you end up with Superstars cards that have an opener like The Rock and Vince McMahon vs. Steve Austin and Bret Hart main evented by Ryder vs. Chavo.

 

[KOAB]

Ryder/Chavo is a pretty heated feud I understand in all universe modes.

 

[Baby Shoes]

Only if Chavo's alternate attire was the Soaring Eagle costume.

 

[ChrisMWaters]

Am I the only one thinking that the upcoming patch will replace the double belts for the Unified Tag Team titles with the current design?

 

[ChrisMWaters]

Uploaded myself and Killjoy to the server...as well as a picture titled "Jericho's Dream Win".

 

[AntiLeaf33]

Started playing Jericho's RTWM. Not sure how I feel about the need to constantly have backstage brawls to level up the character. Seems like a way to artificially lengthen the experience. On a side note, it really feels like the production value for this years game has greatly improved since last years.

 

[vivisectvi]

I've been playing Universe mode and I gotta say.. where are these 100+ scenes they were always talking about? I've seen about four..

-attack during entrance
-attack after match (three stomps, oooh)
-random wrestler, in their ring-gear, buys a ticket and does nothing at ringside
-Vince: oh, you forgot about your OTHER opponent (this happened twice in a row to me, once on Raw, then right after on SD)

Oh, and I don't know if it counts, but sometimes before a tag match, one of the teams will have a little high five animation that gives them both Signature level on their momentum meter.. that's happened a few times, too.

 

[Black Lushus]

I did a quick match as Kane vs. Swagger and got a laugh out of Kane sneaking in to the ring from behind, short-arm clotheslining Swagger allowing me to do the chokeslam and immediately get the win.

 

[Kageho]

Hey dubq, you aren't the only one who's only seen those 4. The only other one was Daniel Bryan and Omega's turn.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

There's also mystery partner introduction.

 

[Dangerous Damon]

I've gotten one where a team will attack someone after a match. I've gotten the lead pipe attack scene and that's about it honestly.

Anyone notice that Undertaker doesn't have Hell's Gate in his moveset at all? He has The Last Ride for his second finisher.

 

[Kageho]

Yeah. The movesets get locked in from last year.

Hey, is there more WWE Legends I can unlock? Because I don't see Hogan's Leg Drop of Doom as a ground move, and I downloaded a Hogan CAW, so I thought he wasn't in it.

 

[vivisectvi]

From what I understand there is no suitable Legdrop for a Hogan CAW in this game.

 

[Mattdotcom]

well how the fuck is this game supposed to outsell all those Rolling Stones and Pope games?

 

[Kageho]

From what I understand there is no suitable Legdrop for a Hogan CAW in this game.

Dammit. I was kinda hoping for one. Guess he'll just have the Big Boot as his finisher then.

 

[vivisectvi]

Yeah, I think the only legdrop even close is the running attack one - which doesn't land like a Hogan legdrop, it's just like dropping a knee or an elbow on a downed opponent.. Undertaker has it as well.

 

[Black Lushus]

Are there any good CAW sites yet? I can't seem to find any that are worth a damn right now.

I like how there are some CAWs they practically WANT you to make...like this Angle one I did last night...everything's perfect except for the music.

Speaking of, can you 360/PS3 guys upload music to be used in the game?

 

[vivisectvi]

The only CAW site I know of is CAWS.ws. As far as uploading music goes, you can use music off of your PS3 hard drive, but as far as uploading it for online use - that's a no-go. I think it defaults to something generic when you play online.

 

[Sabre]

I belive if it has a custom ST then you get no music.

 

[Kageho]

So I've completed vs Undertaker, Christian, and Jericho's RtWs.

And I'm not impressed at all. Why couldn't they just expand on WWE Universe instead of this garbage? I'm just hoping that doing enough of Rey's storyline unlocks Hurricane so I can make him Champion.

BTW, anyone know how to activiate ECW as a brand, or that? I want Punk's ECW Title defended dammit.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

I like it, but I also decided very early into it (reading a review suggesting the same thing helped) that starting backstage fights for attribute points is a waste of time, so I just look for people who make the challenges for Superstars.

I also had a lot of fun with Christian's storyline. I made a second save point so I could chose to challenge Edge instead of Shawn (I really wanted to have E&C be Masters of the WWE Universe first) but now realize I can probably just use the time machine (which itself is awesome - a Bill and Ted phone booth with a Flux Capacitor and old E&C figures on top) and don't need to worry about seperate saves.

I couldn't tell you how anything unlocks because I'm a dirty cheater who wanted everything available immediately, but I'm 99% sure Hurricane (and Tiffany) only exist as RtWM models and aren't in any way playable. I'm wondering if there's a NPC Carlito wandering around somewhere too since I saw his name on the whiteboard as having a match.
