  1. <p>I'll admit I had my qualms early on with this game, but I've found that modding it / just playing it has given me a handle on it and now it's more addictive than any other Ryland game I've played.</p><p> </p><p> Kudos Adam, you got me again.</p>
  2. The difference is Punk has a background in martial arts so at least he has a base, and it's not like the guy isn't an athlete. Comparing a normal person who isn't a professional athlete (because face it, that's what professional wrestlers are) to a UFC fighter isn't the same as comparing Punk to a UFC fighter, I don't know if you've trained in any of the disciplines associated with MMA or if you are an athlete in another sport, but sorry, it just isn't. It's not that Brock was a beast of a man, it's that he had a strong base in wrestling prior to joining the WWE and eventually the UFC. It's not like the guy isn't going to get into the gym and train either, if he's signing with the UFC seriously he's not going to sit back and be a novelty act, he's going to gear down and work hard so that people don't look at him like a wrestler who's just there to make some more money. It's hardly moonlighting, if the guy wants to make a career out of it then he can most certainly make a career of it.
  3. Unpopular opinion incoming. Spoiler alert Johnny Hendricks lost that fight and although I scored it 48-47 in his favor originally, after watching the fight again 49-46 Lawler is not so absurd. I don't know what is valued more in Mixed Martial Arts, the sheer amount of strikes landed or the percentage of strikes landed. Over the course of the fight, Lawler was more accurate, although Hendricks threw a hell of a lot more. I'm assuming a defended takedown is worth more than a takedown, at least with the sheer amount that Hendricks attempted, 5/17 is not a great ratio by any stretch. I would absolutely give first round to Lawler, as Hendricks just didn't do enough with that takedown that he finally got. Round two was more of the same in my opinion, although that's the round that could've gone 10-9 in either man's favor and I wouldn't have been bothered. Lawler landed some shots, Hendricks landed some shots and a takedown but Lawler stuffed some takedowns. Depending on what you value more in the sport, the round could've gone either way. Round three was obvious, Hendricks really turned it on in that round. Punches and leg kicks to light him up and overall control of the round throws that one in his favor, 10-9. If this weren't a title fight, at this point it could easily have been 29-28 to either man. Originally I scored it 29-28 Hendricks at this point, but looking back I'm leaning more towards Lawler being in the 29-28 position, but it really depends on what you value more. I think everyone who's watched the fight knows how the fourth & fifth rounds went. Hendricks really gave the judges a reason to take the belt away, if Lawler opened with punches just ten seconds earlier this would've been a completely different fight and he would've given the referee a reason to stop the fight. Same deal in the fifth round. More Spoiler At this point, I have it either 48-47 Lawler depending on how you look at that second round, or 49-46 Lawler. If anything Lawler got robbed of a Unanimous Decision by the one judge scoring it in Hendricks favor in my opinion. The telling factors were the 5/17 takedowns for Johnny Hendricks & the amount of strikes he allowed Lawler to land while they were on the ground. I don't think Hendricks got robbed at all.
  4. So I'm trying to plan ahead for my SWF diary and although I have a solid plan for the next two big events, I don't know what path I'm going to follow when it comes to the 1980 King of the Squared Circle. Essentially, I have a few wrestlers that I want to choose as the next King of the Squared Circle, which will catapult them into a World Title feud with whoever is the champion by 1980 Wrestling Classic. I'm debating between Ray Williams (who is currently locked into a feud with the Pangrazzios), Vladimir Grinkov (who is fairly new to the promotion, but has good in-ring skills and menace which would make him a credible threat), or do I flop back to the easy way out with either Marcus McKing (who hasn't really had a major feud and is over enough to warrant a run at the title) or Micky Starr / Sam Strong winning it and jumping into the title picture. Although at the end of the day, things change when you're playing this game and you need to kind of roll with the punches, but any opinions would be welcomed
  5. Little late to this but is anyone still playing Destiny or EA UFC? Got a level 26 hunter that I main on Destiny and I'd love some rivalries on UFC
  6. Well now with this, my dynasty game and Destiny don't know how my school work is going to get done Thanks a ton for the work guys!
  7. Does anybody have the 1977-Mod and would be willing to put it up for DL? As well as the picture pack?
  8. Here you go, genius. If you can do that, I'll believe you can work better than Matt Cross
  9. Damn. Edge'll be missed. Speaking of which, as much as I loved that finish, am I the only one who was hoping for La Mistica?
  10. By the way. Isn't it supposed to be a 'huge accomplishment' to win one elimination chamber, let alone two. Not only has Cena won three, but he's won two of those IN A ROW.
