Fine.. Let's compromise, how bout the NoD makes their epic return but change all their names to Jimmy (Jimmy Maivia, Jimmy Henry, D-Lo Jimmy, etc) and Yosuke Santa Maria manages them for some reason despite being a Tribe Vanguard?

well i actually wasn't asking for the nation back just the entrance cause ya know with the exception of the power fist raise taunt at the end, the trio entrance worked well (imo) for a heel hart foundation entrance. i think the 4 man could do the same. i mean they still owe us a hart foundation entrance lol.

 

and with pillman possibly removed and owen nowhere to be seen i doubt we'd ever get the 4 man foundation entrance lol

That and they said the final roster reveal will be BIG. My interest is peaked.

But for that gameplay tomorrow, what do you guys think it will be? I can see a couple things.

1. 8 Man gameplay either tag or Rumble or maybe even Battle Royal
2. MyCareer related
3. Creation Suite (I would like)
4. Women gameplay cus I for one am curious about how the women we have not seen look.

it's going to be career mode bs since they love soliciting that god awful mode.

and we've seen some women but me personally i don't use that many women i just hope liz has returned as a manager.

We currently have 132 slots revealed, that means we have 60 more. But these numbers were never accurate though

This is the sort of thing I like to see, bro! Women get used and abused far too often in society. We need to fight this injustice and stand up for women's rights, and the need for affirmative consent if we want to crush some puss, bro. We as people simply cannot allow women to feel marginalised by today's society, or let the priveledges of those who stand against their rights, go unchecked. I think you would all do well to follow Jeff's influence on this one, bros.

Jeff, bro. I still need your PayPal details, or a mailing address I can send a check to, if you'd prefer, bro?

[Gift Of Jericho]

They took it away for a few years, thought we would forget it then bring it back with some improvements lol.

not really. it's not the same system plus that was a thq system and i hated it with a passion. this seems much better though. i just hope people like ultimate warrior or sting don't constantly try to do a powerbomb clutch

Who is 'they'? Ultimate Control was gone long before 2K ever had the license. 2K had nothing to do with the removal of that system. Good idea, poorly executed as were a number of ideas. 

And yes, it works with finishers as long as they are performed from one of the supported positions.

Would be fun to FU someone off the stage

I hope so. Would be nice to have a bit more control about where a finisher places someone, so I don't have to waste time dragging them away from the ropes.

nice! thanks for posting this man. everytime i seem to miss 2Kayfabe when he posts lol

was big show '00 the one that had the long hair or short hair?

when you go on there can you ask him if Big Show 99 was removed? i really hope it was just an oversight like nash and hall but if he is gone i won't be too upset. i can caw the giant/big show in wcw pretty easily

pretty much what i said lol 

it was poorly executed i agree with that. what i hated the most was whenever the ai would put you in an UMC they would start moving around erratically just to prevent you from escaping.  it was kinda cheap.

 

what i wonder though is since we've seen the drag to the corner into the turnbuckle smash, remember in SVR11 (i think that was the last year it was in) where you could do the leg slam on the ringpost hotspot? I wonder if we can do something like that with the carrying system. i used to do that as bret to set up for the sharpshooter. i did hate that that was taken out.

Hoping for a decent DDP model without the OTT hair.

Watching the May Young Classic and thinking with Piper Niven caws (if possible), Drew, Dar & Cross, and the (rare) possibly of Wolfgang, this is the most Scottish game since Haggis Hunt 3D.

Emo Hagrid Big Daino was a champ of Scotland once, does that at least count to half a Scot?

Hopefully they don't count these as seperate slots lol. 

[Penguin]

They are obviously separate slots, but they won't take a slot from the last 60 or so people.

FU isn't PC, bro. You'll have to adjust someone's attitude off the stage, bro.

Couldn't help but notice Chris Jerichos retro model in 16, and 17 was from 2001, while in 18 it says 2000, does this mean we'll finally get a better model without that terrible hair? They gave Big Show a retro model last year out of the blue anyway

It would be worse if they give him his debut hair lol. Edit: I just remember they did this in WWE '13.

And if modern Y2J isn't the weird one with the scarf and list, I'm suing this 2K shit.

Hi Top Heel,

I still need to look into the other questions but I wanted to verify this one.

I can say that Razor Ramon, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, and Diesel are all in WWE 2K18.

Sorry about not including them in the initial list.

cheers,

ddp's hair was like that from uncensored 98 - Fall brawl 98 by Havoc 98 he had the 92 ddp type hair. they're separate models so you have that chance. i'm just glad you're not saying you want short hair ddp just for the damn theme song.

either it was typo, he was mistaken or we finally get straightened long haired without a ponytail jericho without the beard back in the game which i hope so. i could care less about current jericho to be honest. i've never liked any of his gimmicks from 09 to now.

[Gift Of Jericho]

Behold guys, we are close to the final reveal.

I'm preparing legal documents in case we don't have Austin Aries, Christian or the Hardys.
