Trivial/Mundane Stuff You Notice in Wrestling Games

[Injustice45]

This thread's gonna be all about the big and little things we all notice in wrestling games. What are some of the things you notice in certain games, say No Mercy or Here Comes The Pain, for example? Please share you thoughts. I'm all ears.

I'll start off. Here Comes The Pain is the first game with Christian's "My Peeps" theme. Apparently, everybody in Day of Reckoning is a bit shiny.

I remember in earlier SmackDown games, the Rock would still do the "elbow-pad removal" motion even if he'd already used the People's Elbow and no longer had the elbow pad.

In WWE'13 and I'm assuming 12 and 14, if you look closely into anyone's iris, you can see the old Rhombus Raw set in their eyes.

In WrestleMania XIX for the GCN, Stephanie McMahon wants you to squander her father's plans for WrestleMania by beating up security officers and construction workers that are just doing their job.

Lance Storm's final video game appearance was in WWE Day of Reckoning. Guess what? He had "Party All Night" as his theme music, complete with the goofy entrance.

In Shut Your Mouth, the wrestling move Catapult will eliminate you from a Royal Rumble, which I have always found hilarious.

And at some points, even tossing those poor security officers and construction workers to a bottomless abyss that'll surely kill them. That's right, Steph's asking you to murder people just to ruin WrestleMania.

In HCTP, Choke Toss 1 hurts you rather than your opponent.

When you're feuding with someone in RAW 2 on X-Box, they will run out to help you and attack your opponent.

If this happens when you have a manager bot, the manager bot will help your opponent and attack you and your rival.

I could have sworn that one game had a nice little detail where if Rock had hit the People's Elbow earlier in the match, he would switch to the other arm if he hit it again.

I seem to remember one game you'd get a brief shot of him doing the eyebrow thing if he didn't have either pad.

Another thing from Wrestlemania XIX, with an Action Replay you can make nude wrestlers.

Spider-Man in Shut Your Mouth.


In WWE RAW 2, you can drop a box on someone.

The Rock did that animation in Shut Your Mouth. That was a pretty subtle touch onto fixing an animation flaw. Then, once he had no elbow pads, he'd just do the move.

In WrestleMania for the NES, Ted Dibiase has a beer gut and waddles

Speaking of No Mercy, in the season mode, Steven Richards is actually a credible contender for the WWF Championship.
Also, Edge has a rape face.

[Kayfabe FAN don't want none]

In SVR 2006 season mode, at Survivor Series, this happens:



Eddie died 2 days after the game came out. Around SS 2005.

In SVR 2007 season mode. This happens:



guess who's Taker talking to.

Basically, if something involves Taker and Death, you're f***ed.

In WWE 13, when you play Rock vs. Austin at WrestleMania XV in Attitude Mode, the commentary mentions how Mankind and Big Show fought in a Boiler Room Brawl earlier that night to determine the special guest referee. While Mankind and Big Show did have a match, the Boiler Room Brawl wasn't until next month at Backlash. Somehow though, they make the exact same mistake in WWE 2k14.

[Friday Night SmackOwn]

In one of the older games, the referee had the Stone Cold Stunner as his finishing move, if you tried to steal his finishing move.

I remember a "curse" where whomever appeared on the Smackdown vs. Raw Cover was injured shortly after the games release.
SmackDown vs. Raw: Mr. McMahon (Tore quad at Royal Rumble 2005)
SmackDown vs. Raw 2006: Batista & John Cena (Batista tore a bicep)
SmackDown vs. Raw 2007: Triple H (tore a quad second time)
SmackDown vs. Raw 2008: Bobby Lashley, John Cena, & The Undertaker (Cena tore pectoral muscle, Lashley was injured, Undertaker tore bicep)
