It's probably going to be this one:

Lex Luger American Born Theme

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

Yeah that would be my assumption (but I like that one too).

 

[ChrisMWaters]

Lex just looks funny. I would've prefered his WCW black trunk attire, but it makes sense he'd have his USA garb. A Narcissist alternate attire/entrance would be awesome, though.

I'm pretty sure in Superstars Attire you can make his WCW attire by just coloring all the stuff black.

 

[ChrisMWaters]

Oh and yes, Lex's first match in the game when I get him will be against R-Truth.

 

[MillenniumMan831]

Like you could afford to put that match on.

 

[ChrisMWaters]

Well, we at least won't have to worry about his shirt being too tight, Billy.

 

[MillenniumMan831]

Should be a fine match if Luger can figure his way out of his locker room.

 

[Danville_Wrestling]

If they can't get Goldberg in the game they need to put Gillberg in as a Legend and for his entrance have him get lost backstage and come out to sparklers. The commentators could discuss "who's first?"

Too lazy to copy all of the links over.. but here is a single link to a post with photos of the full models for the DLC 2 characters, plus screenshots of the NXT arena..

Is that caws.ws where people get the information on making some of the better CAWs of actual wrestlers? I just ask because I suck and am lazy at doing my own but I want to make all the Nexus guys that aren't DLC and Daniel Bryan and a few others. I know someone posted that video of a glitch with Morrison and Goldust I think against CAWs of Slater and Tarver, which both looked pretty solid. Just wondering where people are going for some of the better looking ones, movesets and everything else.

 

[HSJ]

Thank God! I really wanted Evil Shad who hasn't been on TV since the week he turned on whoever the other guy in Cryme Tyme was and David Otunga!

And white tights for Justin Gabriel! YESSSSS

Yeah, but it's worth noting that ever since the ability to upload/download CAWS was implemented, there haven't been as many posted there. Most people will post a pic and what username to look for on Community Creations so you can download.

 

[Baby Shoes]

Thanks, I appreciate it. Thanks for posting the pics too. I can't wait for the DLC to come out.

 

[MillenniumMan831]

Wild & Young should play in the background during all matches at the NXT Arena.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

Just had a great Rumble - Mania season (which was mostly based on my simulating stuff / skipping ahead). WWE Champion CM Punk lost his championship to Shawn Michaels in a ladder match at TLC but went on to win the Royal Rumble, setting up a big rematch between the two. Sadly for Punk, his Mania bid to win the title was unsuccessful and Shawn reigned victorious... until the man who won Money In The Bank that same night, Bret "The Hitman" Hart, put ol' HBK in The Sharpshooter and closed out Mania was the new WWE Champion.

And it's not all bad news for Punk - he and Mike Knox are the current tag team champions.

 

[Scroby]

Picked up the game tonight. I'll most likely be playing all night long.

 

[Vigo]

I'm liking this game this year. I don't play online so the bugs on there I could care less about. I haven't watched WWE in forever so I have no idea who guys like Ziggler or Ryder are, which is why they're free agents in my Universe and are replaced by the likes of Diesel, Bret Hart, and Kamala. It took awhile to set things up right but it's pretty sweet when things click. Oh and thank God for the whole community creations thing as it makes CAWs so much easier then having to look-up a formula online and then recreating said CAW.

 

[vivisectvi]

Agreed about the Community Creations. When it was just formulas.. it was just so tiresome and time consuming to create CAWs. Even the really good ones that other guys make. This way is so much better. You can download their stuff and tweak it in 5 minutes as opposed to an hour and a half from scratch.

Some DLC2 entrances:

WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2011 DLC #2 Wade Barrett entrance

WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2011 DLC #2 British Bulldog and Lex Luger entrances

Holy shit @ them actually going for the "Hero" theme for Lex!

WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2011 DLC #2 Layla entrance

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

Holy shit @ them actually going for the "Hero" theme for Lex!

YES!

No audio at work - does Bulldog come out to that crappy rendition of Hail Britania he always does in these games?

 

[MillenniumMan831]

They will come out to the Allied Powers theme. Hell, I may throw that theme to the Hart Dynasty as well just for the hell of it . . . and maybe Layla . . . and Barrett . . . and Swagger (hmmm, of course that means I'll have to swap out the Stars & Stripes tune he's currently using).

 

[Danville_Wrestling]

While I like the Hero song, it's really not appropriate for an entrance. Luger's last WWF theme before he left would've been better.

Yeah, I marked out for the song, but he's pretty much already in the ring by the time the song picks up. Oh well, I really want this DLC content now! Any date update yet?

 

[vivisectvi]

"Early holidays" is what they're saying. So probably the first or second week of December.

Agree about the song not really working with the entrance - but it's cool they included it. Guess it's just one more to the list that needs to be edited.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

I thought it was announced as January 2011?

 

[Baby Shoes]

Had probably one of the longest sessions I've gotten to have with the game tonight. First went on and downloaded some CAWs.

So far I downloaded Heath Slater, Skip Sheffield, Daniel Bryan, Kaval, Tyler Reks and Nightwing (DC comics).

The Nightwing is kinda cool, as its four outfits are Nightwing, Robin, Movie Robin and Batman (seeing Grayson is Batman now).

Kaval and Bryan look awesome, same creator did Reks so I just downloaded that too and seems pretty good, although he was just a random opponent in Superstar Mode.

The Slater is really well done too, and I imported the Nexus theme onto my Xbox, so it came out pretty awesome. The Sheffield looks good but I don't think as much work was put into him as Slater. Didn't see a Young that I liked yet and got itching to play the game before I searched for Tarver.

Tried the online Rumble. The first one was messed up because I drew #3. The two that drew #1 and #2 I guess knew each other and were working together, as they just posed until I entered and double teamed everyone the whole match. Sucked a lot of the fun out of it but I did mark out when someone who came in toward the end took one of them out, but it still ended with the two of them.

Did another online Rumble where they didn't allow CAWs so it was all regular roster members. Some guy from Spain was Kane and just punched everyone in the ropes the whole match and I saw the most frustrating end sequences where he kept reversing eliminations thanks to storing finishers, but it never took the finishers away. One of the final three cowered in the corner so eventually he won. That one started out as 12 people participating but lagged so much until about 7 people disconnected. Then it ran really smooth.

 

[AntiLeaf33]

I have managed to get 2 online matches to work. First one I disconnected from was an online Rumble, that people stopped coming into the Rumble at Number 7. After about 10 minutes of watching the Undertaker pose in the ring alone, I assumed it was time to count my loses. The other match was a fatal 4 way that disconnected about 2 seconds after the bell. I was still connected to the PSN and I could still search for matches. So, I am now 0-2 with a 100% disconnect rate. The online isn't exactly winning me over.

 

[vivisectvi]

I love how they (THQ) were freaking out to us that the Online was going to be soooo much better, too.

 

[KOAB]

I was over at a friends house earlier playing this game and I sort of fucked up his road to wrestlemania in Universe as I was playing as Primo and won the Rumble and he will now be taking on Big Show in at Wrestlemania for the World Heavyweight Title. I also played as Zack Ryder and beat his James Storm CAW (it looks really good) for the IC title the next night on RAW.

I got to see four scenes in Universe... Primo was attacked by Big Show after winning the Rumble, the McMahon one of giving someone a new opponent. Mike Knox came down with a pipe and beat down MVP... and Dolph Ziggler stretching before a match.

I will be buying this game.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

Kofi and Rey formed a team. I gave them The Rockers entrance. Looks good.

One of my beefs with Universe mode turned on is if you go to the trouble of making a team you like, giving them a good entrance, etc, there's no guarantee they won't just randomly disband for no reason during the course of time. I didn't paint Yoshi's tights gold for nothing, game!
