Wrestling Thread August 15th-20th/ Tonight NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn II At 8PM Eastern/ SummerSlam This

Singles Roster is way too stacked to throw Big E into right now unless they're committing to him being a Main Eventer

Big E is not a singles star. THey tried to push him before and it didn't work. New Day, do indeed, need each other. Not a bad thing, they are one of theh ottest  acts on the show and bringing $$$ to their bank accounts. Ride the wave boys.

When did they HONESTLY try to push him?
 
I hope they sign lethal , thats my guy..could legitimately be wwe world/universal champion. Should keep new day together have big e be singles star.if one dude wins the belt they all defend it .**** freebird rules. make it new day rules ....dope cwc matches this week
 
To Vince, he isn't on that list. He is a black man.

But for yall to say he doesn't HAVE it, when wrestling isn't like football or basketball where you get what you earn, for the most part, when he hasn't been given the chance to show that he doesn't have it, bothers me.

Go back to his run as NXT champion. He definitely had it.

He passes the eye test.
If a grandmother walks past the tv and sees her grandson watching Big E on the screen, she can definitely see that he should be able to handle his own against everyone.

He is intense. He is explosive. He is a LEGIT athlete. He is funny. He can be taken serious. Like Wtf doesn't he have?
 
If the WWE can have Sheamus win the WWE title in a very pathetic embarrassing fashion, if Del Rio can win in a very boring state, and if Swagger/Rey can win the World title only to lose all their matches, they can find a way to push Big E up there. All it takes it a character tweak. They've even made Ziggler look credible again after being Zack Ryder since 2014.

Right, like what the hell are yall saying he doesn't have it. (Big E). I think you dudes forget wrestling isn't like REAL sports where talent can't be denied. Politics in wrestling play a MUCH bigger role in gating someone's progress than any other "sport."

So just because someone hasn't had the chance doesn't mean they couldn't make use of the chance if they got the chance
 
Big E and Xavier should turn on Kofi and kick him out the group. And then give Big E a singles push w/ Xavier as his manager. Double win because I dont think anyone is gonna care much about Xavier as a singles competitor once the New Day breaks up anyway, so let him fall into the manager role to help Big E get over
 
Finally caught CWC.

Both matches were very good. Tajiri can still go. 

Kota is a beast, DeepSea been speaking that gospel for a minute now.

Really impressed by Cedric Alexander, hopefully Shovel actually signs him.

Started NXT this morning, stopped at Nakamura backstage interview.

[h1]WWE 2K17 FEATURES REVEALED[/h1]August 12 2016

brock_lesnar_1920.jpg

Today, we get to share with everyone some of our plans for WWE 2K17.  We will not get into full details today, as more information will be revealed as we head toward the game’s release on October 11.  Instead, we are offering an overview of several features and focus areas for WWE 2K17.  Let’s jump right in …

GAMEPLAY

With the WWE 2K franchise, we are striving to deliver the most authentic and realistic WWE experience possible.  Fans have been asking us to truly improve the core gameplay experience since we inherited the brand, and we are taking your requests seriously – from controls to presentation to individual features. We’ve shifted the gameplay experience focus from an arcade-centric, fighting game style to simulation-based gameplay, and WWE 2K17 continues pushing in that direction with both improved and new gameplay mechanics.  In WWE 2K17, the fans will, more than ever, get to control the action how and where they want, including competing in the crowd and backstage areas.  Our community asked for the return of playable backstage and crowd areas, so we delivered on this request.  We also greatly improved the responsiveness of gameplay while also updating game systems like Ladders, Taunts and a new secondary submission system.  As always, we added thousands of new animations into WWE 2K17, so there is a lot of new gameplay for everyone to discover and enjoy.  These are just a few of the gameplay improvements we are delivering in WWE 2K17, all of which will provide the most authentic WWE experience to date.

CREATION

The WWE 2K17 Creation Suite enables the WWE Universe to customize, build and share their own unique WWE Superstars, Arenas, Entrances, Shows and more.  For WWE 2K17, we added new creation features, as well as focused on deepening and providing even more options for existing creation features.  For example, we added many more parts, more adjustment options and elements like body hair, all of which add to the game’s massive set of customization options.  We also added a full Highlight Replay system, which allows players to record video highlights from their matches. The video content can be used in our new Create a Video feature, which lets players create videos for use in things like custom entrance Titan Tron videos for created Superstars. We also deepened the Create a Show feature and added a brand new Create a Victory feature to ensure everyone can create the most comprehensive WWE experience possible.  Whether players build their own worlds or simply expand on existing tools, the power is in their hands.

2K SHOWCASE

One of the largest and most difficult decisions we made for WWE 2K17 was to forego building a 2K Showcase.  We designed and contemplated several Showcase ideas, including options surrounding our cover Superstar, Brock Lesnar, but all of them were not viable due to the many historic WWE Superstars needed but not available for inclusion in the game.  In addition, the team is heavily focused on building and delivering great content that fans can enjoy for years to come, while the Showcases only live in games from year to year. In all, we didn’t feel good about creating a Showcase that was not up to our standards and current development vision, so we decided to take that effort and put it into modes our community requests we keep improving: WWE Universe and MyCareer.

WWE UNIVERSE MODE

In WWE Universe Mode, we are working to recreate the drama and excitement seen every week on Raw, SmackDown Live and NXT.  For WWE 2K17, we created a new flow that focuses on these shows.  The shows are what we all watch each week, and now with the recent brand split, are even more important.  Our new Show Presentation system makes players feel like they are playing through a weekly episode of any WWE television or WWE Network program.  We also added more intrigue and possibilities by incorporating run-ins, as well as pre- and post-match attacks.  Just like in WWE, we never know what might happen next.

Even with all these new features, presentation and possibilities, we still felt something was missing: promos.  In turn, WWE 2K17 will deliver a brand new Promo Engine that lets the WWE Superstars express their thoughts and emotions to the WWE Universe and one another.  The Promo Engine creates a new dynamic and brings the experience closer to the actual WWE than ever before.  That’s not all – we also are delivering a completely revamped offering of all Universe Mode cut scenes, including familiar and brand new scenarios. Collectively, WWE 2K17 represents the most comprehensive and authentic WWE Universe we’ve attempted thus far.

MYCAREER

MyCareer also gets some exciting new features for WWE 2K17.  We incorporated the new Promo Engine, so Superstars can express themselves to the WWE Universe and also call out or respond to other WWE Superstars.  Backstage interviews with Renee Young take on a whole new dimension with our new backstage brawling gameplay.  Now more than ever, how a player competes, reacts, what is said and even what attire is worn can make a difference in a Superstar’s journey through the WWE.  At some point, players are also likely to come face to face with Brock Lesnar and his advocate, Paul Heyman.  What happens when confronted by this imposing duo will greatly shape a player’s future career growth in WWE.

WHAT’S NEXT?

The above is a select list of the improvements and additions we are making for WWE 2K17. There is a lot more to discuss in the near future, from the features above to online to all the other components we know you’ll ask about, and we will get into more details as we get closer to the game’s release.  We are excited to start sharing what we are doing with the game and look forward to letting everyone in on all the exciting things in store with WWE 2K17.  After all, the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar, is waiting for you in Suplex City.

Oh, and since everyone seems to be speculating – yes – the roster is larger than last year.

We know you will enjoy WWE 2K17.

–Mark Little, Executive Producer of WWE 2K

There was this hilarious botch during the knockouts match last night. Mia Yim ran down to help Gail Kim, and clearly was supposed to just spin kick Marti Belle then move on, but I guess Marti's natural reaction was to duck, then there was an awkward pause and Mia Yim just repeated the kick :rofl:

This is why I've never understood how people can say anyone isn't a star when they haven't been given a good script or even promo time to begin with.

This whole thing comes down to how you're booked.

If you've been booked like Zack Ryder then your perception is already ruined no matter how good of a talker or worker you are.

Luke Harper's thoughts pn WWE.com Top 10 Hottest Free Agents

“Listen, I don’t want to talk about Heath Slater, he’s been beaten down by Rhyno and Jinder Mahal. So I don’t want to talk about that, but Cryme Tyme couldn’t be more irrelevant to today’s wrestling scene. So for them to rank above me, it’s a bit of a slap in the face.”

“I believe that I will be the WWE World Champion one day. I know that a lot of people say that, it’s easy to say, if I were to go away without accomplishing that task I would feel unfulfilled, to be completely honest… So for Cryme Tyme to rank above me, when I think that of myself, it becomes a bit of an issue inside my own brain.”

Good promo, but it seems like every former WWE dude that goes there cuts some variation of the same promo. Outlaws, Dudleyz, Angle, EC3, and Mr. Kennedy all did promos similar to that :lol:

Aron Rex though :x? That's on par with that stupid Oney Lorcan name in NXT.

He's a talented wrestler. When he comes back he needs different attire (Not be an unbathed Ambrose) and to be kept far away from the Wyatt Family.

Agreed, but I think the WWE's plan all along was to split Braun away from them and have Harper come back to SD after he recovers. I feel like if you're ever going to give Harper a solo run, right after the injury is the time to do it. He is a very good wrestler and can talk. No reason not to.
