WWE KNOW YOUR ROLE Demo

[Tone Cold]

The release date is still around Wrestle Mania 21, so figure late March, early April.

In the worst case, it should definitely be on the store shelves for a while by the time Summer Slam hits

I played the demo at Gen Con and it was wicked fun they still had a few kinks in the manuever system they said. But it was just too cool. I cannot wait untill they release the solid rules. Awesom stuff I tell you. As a side note I implemented the manuever rules in a bar brawl one shot I did it was fun.

So can I assemble a Team and do campaign like the Mankind Comic - you know outside the ring going on adventures against GE mutants and rampaging dinosaurs?

It might require a little work, but I guess you could. The game pretty much focuses on the sorts of things you see on Raw and SmackDown. It would take some work, but you could probably shoe-horn in dinosaurs and/or mutants. I'd love to hear JR calling that...

"PUPPIES!"
"Oh grow up! Those are gnolls!"
"Well, not to say they're stupid but they've got an IQ of 2 and it takes 3 to grunt."
"Maybe so King but the tag champs are about to get whipped like government mules. This is gonna be a real slobberknocker."
*ground begins to shake as a T-rex stomps in*
"MY GAWD! MY GAWD! MY GAWD! Business is about to pick up. This has shades of classic Andre the Giant vs King Kong Bundy matches."
"A real 'Battle of the Bulge' right JR?"
"Uh... if you say so King. That Rey Pequeño is still quicker than a hiccup, already clearing the ring while Cerdo Fuerte is having fun stomping a mudhole in Bling-Bling! It's no wonder Los Vatos Locos were once tag champs and are destined to wear the gold again. Oh my. Look at all the blood! Bling-Bling's been busted wide open!"
"They were seeing red before and now all he's seeing is red! Just proves that the older those Gnoll Boyz get, the better they used to be."
"Uh oh. I think Momma T-Rex's little baby boy just caught wind of all that blood too and it doesn't look like he'll play any favorites. I'm sorry folks but we have to take our last commercial break."

*insert commercial for D&D 4.0 with various WWE superstars complain about bad rolls and rules changes while Mick Foley peers over the DM screen, grinning widely*


Hey, I couldn't resist a challenge nor some wishful thinking.

Naturally Los Vatos Locos composed of Rey Pequeño (halfling luchador) and Cerdo Fuerte (half orc um... luchador). As for the Gnoll Boyz (Bling-Bling and ?), I kinda envision the gnoll pimp in the d20 Modern book.

 

[Greatwyrm]

I can give you an 8 out of 10, NP. I could actually hear JR and The King saying the lines you had. Unfortunately, you failed to use the key phrases "stomping a mudhole" and "he's busted wide open".


Edit -- I'll award extra credit for the first person to properly define "clubberin'" and the person who coined the phrase.

 

[Nuclear Platypus]

That sounds like something from the late Gorilla Monsoon, who I mainly remember for his "Stick a fork in him. He's done." as well as his pairings with Bobby "the Brain" Heenan, which later became Jerry Lawler / Jim Ross.

My guess is has to do with Jim Cornett's habit of helping his team (Rock n Roll Express wasn't it?) win by thwacking someone with his tennis racket so I guess it was coined by Dusty Rhodes.

BTW, my color commentary has been updated for everyone's enjoyment if you haven't noticed. Man, I can't wait til it comes out just to see if WWE.com will make mention of it.

 

[Greatwyrm]

I like the expanded commentary. You only get half credit for the clubberin' though. It was Dusty Rhodes. A clubberin' is actually defined as when you have a two-on-one beating going on and "you gots all four fisteses beatin' on the same head." I think it's a noun, but even I don't know all the parts of Dusty-speak.

(according to the DnD SRD Deinonychus are 600lbs (Ultraheavy!) but my google search came up with a weight of 175 (cruiserweight) which would be way cooler since then they would take no Endurance damage from aerial assualts

and yeah the stats here a probably wrong - anyone want to try a contest with my Dinosaur?)

 

[Tone Cold]

Is that a 4th level dinosaur? Yeah, there's a big difference between Lift DC 26 (600 lbs.) and 9 (175 lbs.)! Think deinonychus is closer to 175 than 600, iirc.

Anyway, just wanna mention that the official KYR site (www.comicimages.com/KYR) is back up, and contains the new demo (version 2.0) as well. It's more than 8 pages, in MS Word doc format, not a snazzy PDF like it was before, but does include stats for Eddie Guerrero, Chris Jericho, Edge, and Bubba Ray Dudley! So check it out, then sign up for the Yahoo fan group (see link in one of my previous posts) and talk about it or wrestling in general.
