Okay, I have a confession to make... I used to be a huge wrestling fan in my kiddie past. I had, and still do, have a massive crush on Edge and Shawn Michaels. Something about muscled men wearing tights... Yeah, anyways, I know there's a huge series of WWE and WWF games out there and I used to buy the PS2 up to, god I think it was 2009 that I ended with before realizing it was getting stupid to watch. I'm sorry but I really cannot stand John Cena and both of my guys are retired and the new faces aren't that entertaining. (I know that Shawn is still around every now and then and so is Edge but not that much, but still, I can't just keep watching the show and expect to see them when they're not even wrestling anymore)
WWF Attitude (Get It?) was the first wrestling game I used to play on the Playstation. My brother was into wrestling, but I never watched it with him because I wasn't allowed to for some reason... Except I could play the video game instead... I'd always create characters, never really played as the actual wrestlers. I remember when choosing the voice for your character, I would laugh so hard at Owen Hart's "I'm not a nugget." I never understood why he said that because like I said, I never watched wrestling, and of course, being very young and hearing this would make a kid laugh.
Throughout the Playstation 2 era, I got more and more into wrestling ad began playing these games like crazy, and yet, I still to this day, have never played an actual wrestler character, I'd pick my created characters. Hey, if I'm allowed to play them in the story mode, why not? This was interesting because I enjoyed making characters in any kind of game that has this feature. I took advantage of this a lot with the wrestling games.
I also managed to play Crush Hour, their little car game, and I'd always played as Edge. I will say, for how strange this game was when it came out, it was fairly entertaining and I enjoyed it a lot.
But then I started to see something with these games... They're beginning to be the same game one after the other with a few changes every now and then. But it's the same game every time with a new story mode. I didn't want to keep wasting money away on something that hasn't changed in a long time. I mean, in the past, wrestling games were fucking awesome, like Midway's Wrestlemania. I LOVED this game because it was funny, entertaining, and would keep my attention going after a while. This was a game I wanted to keep playing even if there wasn't that many characters to choose from. Don't matter, it has Shawn Michaels in it, I'd play him every day! Haha... Anyways.
I've recently started to watch all my old wrestling DVDs again because I don't know, I felt like watching something I used to watch as a kid. I still scream when I see my favorites come out even though I know the outcome of the match. It's still entertaining to me despite that I know it's fake. Yeah, I know it's scripted and people make a big muck about it, I really don't give a damn. If it's gaining my attention, I like it well then that's fine with me. But honestly... I wish I didn't grow out of it, although, I wouldn't have that much fun watching anymore because neither of my favorites are on. Yeah, I still like a few that are still wrestling, but they're nothing compared to Edge or Shawn Michaels. It was fun while it lasted, I'll say that, and I will continue crushing on these two guys for as long as I live.
Yeap.
