WWE Video Game Commentary

[Deleted]

We know all of the classics, like the redhead joke, the Twisty Rockets, and that in Just Bring It. But there's all kinds of other commentary of note in the many WWE games out there that's worth calling out.

For SvR 2011 and '12 first off, wanna call out, "OHOHOHO! Oh man! Paintbrushed!" because I have no idea what that even means. Also for inept, what the hell King lines, '12 gives us, "After that hit he doesn't need a therapist, but an exorcist."

And to keep this from being entirely about the current line of games, gonna throw out a nod to Attitude, where they had Shane and King doing it for some reason. I know Shane did commentary and all, but don't really get going with him for a game so a weird move there.

The line in WWE 12 that I thought was a bit tasteless was when Lawler says something like "Sheamus is as pale as a corpse. I'd like him better if he was a corpse!"

Oh God, that Exorcist line is horrible. And it's the new "red head", because King says it all the time in WWE '12.

As for "paintbrushed!", here's the definition:

Paintbrush Verb. To smack someone across the face with generous force, either backhand or forward.

What's the red head line again?

[foxy]

My last girlfriend was a red head. No hair, just a red head.

I think he actually used that line on an episode of RAW once.

[A Platypus Rave]

He used it at least twice I believe.

What didn't make any sense was that they originally put it in for Natalya... and then kept it in for years since she dyed her hair back to blonde...

The corpse line was actually in 2011. And speaking of another that originated there and carried over, the stupid, "When he was eight, Cody wanted to eat a dog," joke.

I remember how, in the original SvR, Randy Orton was a face, but JR had a line where he couldn't stand Orton's arrogance. I never understood that.

The game was released in November 2004. Orton only turned face in late August 2004.

They record the commentary lines much earlier than that, when Orton was a heel. So in the game, he's a heel.

Commentary tends to be really out of date. Like how all of the dialogue for Batista in 2011 talks him up as a face even though he turned a year before it came out.

[DragonMasterP]

That makes sense.

I guess that works the same way as WWF No Mercy, which was released in November 2000, but seems to be set around July or something, with HHH as the champion (Which was really Kurt Angle), and such.

"His eyes are glazed over," I believe from War Zone

The one where Tazz tells Michael Cole he should let Tazz train him so he could be cruiserweight champion in a year. They rerecorded that one with JBL.

"I said exasperate, not... Oh nevermind~!"

Like all of JBL's commentary was re-recorded Tazz material. Ditto for Joey Styles mostly recycling Michael Cole lines, which led to two pairs of people repeating the same set of lines.

And if wishes were fishes, the world would be an ocean. But that's not the case, now is it?

[Krazee]

off the ropes, against the ropes, into the ropes etc.

Ugh, SmackDown: Shut Your Mouth was bad. Anytime there was a lull, they'd usually cue up:

King: (shrieks) "WHAT?!"
JR: "What the hell's going on here?"

You'd think they were calling a huge double-cross, when in reality all you did was whip your opponent into the ropes.

[Cyno]

Anything can happen in the WWE!

[A damn road sign]

I heard he took an IQ test, and the results came back negative!

[Bang Bang Bart]

The Rock....has a great..........The Rock Bottom!

[DragonMasterP]

Let me just assure you, that tonight's show, is a lot better than JR's french. Sheesh!

[Branimal]

In last years game, whenever someone would execute a bulldog, The King would have no idea what the hell happened! Something along the lines of, "What did we just see here?!"

[Ryushinku]

Anything is allowed in the...SINGLES MATCH!
