INTRODUCTION
Hey there /r/GiftOfGames community I'm back...and betta than eva! and I'm here to request WWE 2K16 it's literally the only game on my wishlist the game just seems so perfect for a hardcore wrestling fan like me.Let me tell about my wrestling history from The Golden Era to The Attitude Era to The Ruthless Aggression Era to even The PG/Reality/New Era I've stuck through WWE's ups and downs I've watched different promotion and enjoyed them all exceptforTNA
I don't just stick to one wrestling promotion I watch all of them from WWE to NJPW to ROH to PWG to hell even TNA itisshitthough. So let's stop rambling and let me take you on my wrestling journey....
GOLDEN ERA/MY ROOTS
I started out watching wrestling in the wrestling promotion you all probably know it is the WWE previously know as the WWF.The person that introduced me to wrestling wouldn't be someone you'd expect it was my mother.Yepyepyep the person that is supposed to shield you from the dangerous parts of the world.The first event I watched was Wrestlemania 13 even though I didn't watch all of it I only watched two matches out of it (or at least that's all I remember watching).
The first match I watched was Stone Cold vs Bret Hart in a No Disqualification Submission Match the match is fucking legendary it was back then and it still is.We had Bret Hart turning heel when he kept the sharpshooter locked in until Ken Shamrock had to forcefully get him off Austin.And we had Austin turning into the resilient babyface.The match had one of the best if not the best double turns in wrestling history.The match is a great watch I reccommend it even if you don't like wrestling.
The next match I remember was The Undertaker vs Sycho Sid.It was the main event of the night.I could only remember the final moments of the match. It was when Bret came back to the ring after getting powerbombed by Sid and beat the fuck out of Sid with a chair.When Sid recovered he was distracted by Bret and The Undertaker finished the match with a Tombstone Piledriver.The match was not good at all I can honestly barely remember it but I know that it wasn't and still isn't good.
This event is what started off probably one of the most entertaining eras in WWF/E history.Which I'll be talking about next..........
THE ATTITUDE ERA/MONDAY NIGHT WARS
After Wrestlemania 13 we had the beginning of The Attitude Era if I remember correctly this era purely happened because of WCW having higher ratings than the WWF.It was basically WWF saving their business and boy did it work! WCW had some of the top tier talents and even some WWF wrestlers sports entertainers that made WWF fucking famous one of the biggest names were Hull Cogan Hulk Hogan pretty sure you've heard that name before.WCW fucking bought Hogan with a better contract than WWE had.
One of the most memprable storylines was The Undertaker's Ministry of Darkness.The Undertaker was basically a Satanic Lord at this point in his career boy did he look scary he was listening to a Higher Power whom I will not spoil but holy fuck was it surprising.Also It was him Austin ,It was him all along! .
Onto one of the most controversial moments of the Attitude Era The Montreal Screwjob it involved the boss Vince McMahon screwing over Bret Hart at Survivor Series 1997 it was believed to be an unscripted moment because Vince didn't want a guy who was probably going to leave to go to WCW leaving with his company's main title.Bret went on a fucking tantrum spitting in McMahon's face and motioning WCW to the crowd.Was it planned? You decide.
Next Era ..............
THE RUTHLESS AGGRESSION ERA/BRAND SPLIT/INVASION
Ok remember WCW? Vince bought them out.Yep Vince bought the company of WCW and he bought most of the WCW wrestlers contracts.So this eventually lead to the Invasion Angle it was basically WWE vs WCW vs ECW.Well when this angle was over WWE had a fuck ton of wrestlers on their hands.So WWE decided to do a Brand Split/RAW vs Smackdown.
This was a step in the right direction at first but Smackdown seemed to miles better than RAW.Smackdown had better wrestlers great storylines and even better memorable moments.Smackdown had feel good moments like this : Eddie Guerrero winning the WWE Title or even debuts of people who are big names right now like John Cena's debut.Overall Smackdown was better than RAW by far.
But there was one match at Wrestlemania 20 that completely made me lose hope in the WWE.It was Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar The match was sisliked by the crowd since both wrestlers were going to leave the company after this event.Nothing could save the match not even Stone Cold Steve Austin being the special guest referee.
Needless to say I stopped watching WWE hell watching wrestling as a whole after that match....which lead to.
MY WRESTLING CAREER/START OF WRESTLING GAMING
I started having backyard wrestling shows with my cousins and our friends.I would go over to my cousins house almost every Friday so we were consistent.My cousins and our friends were huge wrestling fans and some of our friends stilled watched wrestling after that match between Lesnar and Goldberg.But we decided to start our own wrestling federation we were VTW Violent Televised Wrestling we weren't televised so yeah stillbetterthanTNA we had some of the goofiest storyline and some of the shittiest wrestling matches surely Botchamania worthy.I have about 2 of my favorite storys we made up.
The first story we had was Bigfoot.One of my friends played the role of Bigfoot and he would come out and attack wrestlers randomly after a match we had literally no idea when he would attack he literally came out when he felt like it and boy he wasn't rare he came out for almost all our matches.We were never prepared so we booked a match it was a Handicap match 5 v 1 it was The Trigger Warning vs The Bigfoot.They beat the shit out of Big Foot then again they beat the shit out of everyone.That was the end of that storyline and the end of Bigfoot.
The second story would have to be Finale Star(me) vs Trigger Warning it started when the leader of Trigger Warning/Voxx challenged me to a match at Revelations,I accepted and we fought it out at Revelations I ended up winning but when I did Trigger Warning attacked me and said at Pandemonium it will be Voxx vs Finale Star in a Falls Count Anywhere match. And holy shit it was the best match I had during my time in VTW.The match had high spots and extreme spots.We had people jumping off high structures and people getting Piledriven. In the end Trigger Warning beat me up and Voxx delivered the Voxx Block (Tiger Bomb Piledriver) about 3 of them in the entire match to finish me off that was my last match in VTW and the end of VTW.
During 'The VTW Era' I played some wrestling games such as Fire Pro Wrestling Returns and King of Colosseum 2 two great old school games! This was where I started my gaming journey.
WWE 2K14/RETURN TO WWE PROGRAMMING
During my time away from WWE Programming as I said I didn't just watch the WWE I watched New Japan Pro Wrestling, Ring Of Honor hell I even watched Total Nonstop Action and many more I enjoyed watching these promotions but none of them gave me the WWE feel (NJPW is great but not the WWE feel).So being a hardcore gamer now.I decide to go into WWE Gaming.Which got me to WWE 2K14
WWE 2K14 was great!2K had just gotten the liscense to publish the WWE games.But THQ had the publishing title before this.But 2K14 was amazing let me briefly talk about some of its features.
Community Creations - Holy Hell was this paradise!With me watching external programming and all I got created wrestlers,arenas and titles from promotions other than the WWE it was great to have other wrestlers in the game and it added so much to the next mode I'll talk about....
Universe Mode - Having the ability to create your own shows and even your own promotions was amazing you were basically the owner of the WWE and you now call the shots you determine your rivalries, champions and shows.Hell you didn't even need to have WWE shows as I said you could download arenas and championships.So you could create your own show or recreate an existing promotion outside of the WWE.It was easily my favorite mode out of the game!I love having control over companies since I'm a fan of fantasy booking this was the perfect mode for me.The next mode brought back the feels to me.
30 Years of Wrestlemania - This mode was magical.It was so nostalgic! It had Wrestlemania moments from my 2nd favorite match Bret Hart vs Steve Austin and it even had Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar.It was the mode that brought back memories for me.It had different objectives that triggered wrestlemania moments it was great and I loved it!
After 2K14 I decided to get back into WWE programming..They had a couple new faces but they were easy to get used to.But the moments that stills fucks me up today.It's when the Undertaker's Wrestlemania Streak came to an end by Brock Lesnar holy fuck I cried like a bitch when this happened since The Undertaker is my favorite wrestler.I'm still trying to get over it 2 years later.But let's move on from this tragic moment
WWE 2K15/REALITY ERA
When 2k14 got obscure I decided to pick up WWE 2K15 for the XBOX 360.The game wasn't good at all I honestly hated it.The game had some good game modes and features but the gameplay itself feeks lacking and just not good let me talk about if for some time.
Community Creations - This was basically the same except a fuck ton of features got removed creating arenas and championships got removed which really took away from the Universe Mode experience but I managed to handle it pretty well with the created superstars I'd say here's what I did......
Universe Mode - I decided to do an Invasion angle of my own I decided to download superstars outside of WWE.It was mostly NJPW wrestlers though so it was Wrestlemania 31 WWE vs NJPW it was great this was one part of the game I could actually love! But moving on.
2K Showcase - This was basically what took the place of 30 Years of Wrestlemania.The mode was 'great' it had some good ass rivalries it had 'CM Punk vs John Cena' and 'Triple H vs Shawn Michaels' this mode had cutscenes that gave life to the rivalries I fucking enjoyed it not more than Universe Mode though.
Since I managed to keep up with WWE TV I saw the emergence of the Reality Era.The company basically said that they were entertainers and the storylines were pre-determined (not that explicitly but they basically didn't try to keep that 'it's real factor' .I enjoyed it it was a good time but still enjoyed extrenal programming more.Also the NXT brand was growing with some people I remember seeing in external programss such as Prince Devitt now known as Finn Balor and Kevin Steen now known as Kevin Owens.Now to talk about the amazing game that this entire post is dedicated to.
WWE 2K16/THE NEW ERA
My trustable XBOX 360's disc drive stopped opening so I couldn't play WWE 2K14 or 2k15 anymore which was sad but WWE had a new game releasing at the time 'WWE 2K16'.When the game dropped I saw some gameplay and it was fucking amazing.The graphics were phenomenal,the gameplay was amazing and the game modes were improved let me talk about them.
Community Creation - With the return of creating arenas and championships the 'my company' factor was back.You could create wrestlers who looke dlike theirselves in real life with the new face scanning technology.Overall looks like a great feature.
My Career - This mode was in WWE 2K15 but only for current gen consoles.The game mode seems to have taken a big step up from the last game letting you go through The Performance Center to NXT to The Main Roster to The Hall Of Fame.Imagine if I got the game gifted to me I could create Finale Star and have him go through the WWE.The mode looks fucking great!
2K Showcase - This time the mode revolved around the Rattlesnake Stone Cold Steve Austin.It goes through his career which is a fucking amazing idea props to 2K for doing that.It goes from Stone Cold's time in WCCW all the way to him facing The Rock.The mode itself looks great and 2K obviously put tons of effort into this mode leaving no stone unturned.
Universe Mode - With the Creation Suite overhaul letting you create arenas and championships now you can create your own promotion again.The mode looks better than ever and you could make some great dream rivalries like Hulk Hogan vs John Cena or even another NJPW vs WWE storyline who knows?
This game had so many superstars from NXT it was unbelievable.The roster was the biggest of all time.And the DLC actually makes sense.With Community Creations you can get some of the WWE's newest signees like Austin Aries,Shinsuke Nakamura,AJ Styles,Jay Lethal and many more!Especially with the PC modding community you could get these superstars as mods here is the biggest modding community for WWE 2K16 it is Smacktalks.
