SteamOdin Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I was wondering if any characters that appear in the CornellVerse with the MMA backgrounds (such as Buddy Garner, Rual Hughes, and half of the Inspire roster) would also show up in in WMMA?

Capelli King Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 It has been mentioned. Adam said a while back that their careers and history will be added to the database but they would not actually be in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capelli King Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 I sure hope to see some "familiar faces"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy J. Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 [QUOTE=Capelli King;248420]It has been mentioned. Adam said a while back that their careers and history will be added to the database but they would not actually be in the game[/QUOTE] I really hope that Adam will change his decision on this. I understand that this rule makes it a little bit easier to maintain continuity in both the wrestling Cverse and the MMA "Cverse" but on the other hand the majority of TEW fans would be stoked to have Hughes, Garner et al. compete for their promotions in WMMA, so why deprive them the pleasure? It's totally not uncommon to cross over repeatedly between wrestling and MMA in Japan (Barnett said he'll do a few matches in NJPW, heck Sapp was once stripped of the IWGP title because he lost in MMA to Fujita) so why not here? I for one would not only like to see all the TEW MMA crossovers in WMMA but also some more guys from Inspire testing the waters in mixed martial arts (Kikkawa, Bingci, Hossam to name a few). So while I respect Adam's decision I really hope that in the end more people will be "dual-game" athletes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensai of Mattitude Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Another option would be for them to be included in the New Fighter section, with a backstory to their return in their profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlzilla Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Sapp was stripped of the title because he refused to defend it against Fujita in a wrestling match after his MMA loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedraem41 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 They'll probably pop up in the workers section under on Hiatus or something. The big deal to me is, that I hope scouting plays a big role in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
