Clusterf*ck WWE 13 Universe Mode Journal -- The Official Thread
 

Read below and get caught up. Post your own Universe Mode clusterfucks and let us celebrate the most random booking this side of TNA iMPACT! Wrestling.
_____________________________________________

Now that you're caught up, I want to update you on some things:

I downloaded better versions of: The Shield and Brad Maddox

New superstars I downloaded and will be debuting this week: Bob Backlund, Michael McGuillicutty, Big E Langston, Evan Bourne,

I deactivated Jim Ross because he was kicking people's asses left and right on RAW out of respect for his badass goatee.

I moved Jerry Lawler to WWE Old School.

I reformed the classic tag team of Godfather and Val Venis and named them "The Industry".
-----------------

At the conclusion of that clusterfuck RAW episode that featured the same matches as last week but with DOUBLE THE BRASS KNUCKS, we go to NXT which has had the best cards of all besides the kickass house shows this game decides to book.

Humorous musings to follow.

**Note to self: need to find a 2000-2001 Megatron Heel Triple H and a new 2013 Sexy Business Casual Triple H CAW. Probably should download William Regal too.

I'm waiting until I'm done with Attitude Mode, but I've got it set up as close to current WWE programming as I can:

Monday - RAW
Tuesday - NXT
Wednesday - Main Event
Thursday - Superstars
Friday - SmackDown!
Saturday - Saturday Morning Slam

I'll probably make Main Event an Attitude show with its own set of titles, made up of all the living guys from that roster that aren't on the active roster.

NICE!

/subscribed

I need to upload my NXT arena. It is "the shit". I hate all the cookie cutter HD arenas.

AJ Lee vs Slutty "Living on (the) EDGE" Lita opens the show.

Drinking my Diet Dr. Pepper while entrances go on.

I am still trying to connect to the fecking servers! Every attempt I get an error message telling me to try later :(

Gonna go check out the official boards for some troubleshooting. I only started my first week of Universe a couple nights ago, so I will reset and start once I can get some good DLC's and what not.

WTF?!

There is music playing in the background. Weird.

Lita reviving the "Rock-N-Wrestling Connection" only with more pizazz?

COMMUNITY CREATIONS

STATUS IS UNKNOWN -  We are aware of intermittent issues with Community Creations – uploading, downloading or both. Thanks for your patience as we work to correct them.

:rant:

Lita just countered AJ's rushing attack with a Tilt-o-Whirl Sideslam. When the fuck has Lita ever done a Tilt-o-Whirl Sideslam?

I kind of like the background music along with the commentary. I just wish Lita would stay the fuck down for this leg drop. I've completely destroyed poor AJ's ass.

AJ picks up the win after a bunch of hurricanranas, snap suplexes, and kicks to the face. Finisher actually worked the first time. This game has a bad habit of having them kick out of the first finisher at 1. I've already got finishers and weapons at MAX damage. Wish I knew how to get this working.

DDP vs Cesaro is next. I replaced the WWE U.S. Belt with the WCW U.S. Belt. Perhaps DDP wants his belt back. He kicked the shit out of Raven on MTV for it many years ago.

DDP/Raven was probably one of my favorite things in WCW ever. Forgotten classics.

Cesaro has rolled out of the ring every time I hit him with the Diamond Cutter. Fucker.

DDP just BANG!'d Antonio Cesaro.

What in the fucking fucks. Roman Reigns vs Dean Ambrose is next?!??

Don't tell me they are already breaking up THE SHIELD (or The Syndicate if you are Justin Roberts).

I threw a monkey wrench in Vince's evil plot and did a double count out.

Next on NXT: Orton vs Del Rio vs Sheamus

ADR attacked Orton.

Del Rio has like 5 feuds going on. Wonder which won will get the title shot in 2 weeks at Extreme Rules.

Also, WWE Old School has their first PPV this week when "WWE Legends invade Tokyo" live on Pay-Per-View.

<font color=goldenrod>I had a WWF vs. WCW game going. I might give it up though. The loading times when it's a custom arena and all CAWs in a match is fucking infuriating.</font>

Fuck Randy Orton.

NXT Main Event: Dolph Ziggler vs Triple H

I'm going to let the CPU actually play this match while I make me breakfast. I want to see if Triple H can win without me.

Alberto Del Rio joins commentary for this match. Jesus, who the fuck is he feuding with? Half the roster?

...and Triple H made Dolph tap out to the sleeper. PWN'D.

For a record 3rd time, ADR hits Triple H with the belt after his match with Dolph Ziggler. I guess Triple H is getting the title shot?

Ruh-roh!

WWE Old School opens up with '99 DX Triple H vs '99 Chris Jericho.

Jesus, how do you fuck up a model that bad? This is barely better then the "Ken Doll in a Lava Explosion" look the model of Triple H had in WWF No Mercy.

The WWF Old School Arena doesn't have a titantron. '99 Chris Jericho's entrance is a hell of a lot less epic.

For shits and giggles, I'll play as '99 Chris Jericho in this match.

If they got rid of the CAW cap on these I'd go nuts and download everyone for shits n giggles. Instead I get the team Of Mario & Luigi in a perpetual tag title feud with Bossman/Shamrock & Vince & Paul Heyman. Its the only regular match my universe mode spouts out except Hasneys CAW and Rikishis neverending WWE title feud.

'99 HHH just stole my move and put '99 Chris Jericho in the Liontamer. I marked out.

Liontamer on the outside. Springboard reverse DDT. Lionsault. Ball game.

I could play with these springboard wrestlers all day.

Next on NXT Supercard Tuesday Night on TBS: The Road Warriors vs The Rock-N-Sock Connection **Non-Title** (Road Warriors are Tag Champions)

Keep waiting for RoXeR or The Mackem to close this thread.

Badass Mullet of Doom Animal is an intimidating character model for a wrestling game.

Imagine Dog the Bounty Hunter on steroids and PCP.

Fun match. Can't believe Animal jobbed to The People's Elbow, though.

Next up: Scotty Too Hotty & '99 Undertaker vs Brian Pillman & Mike Tyson.

Not shitting you. WWE '13 booked this match. Legit. Seriously.

i bet the game woulda been in the trash if it went the other way? lol

Y'see, The Undertaker is the one who "will make you understand" in Too Cool's theme song. It all makes sense. Vince McMahon was the higher power because of his ability to dance. I can see it clearly now. The angle got cut short before the Corporate Ministry of Funk could really be fleshed out. What a shame.

No. I would have just rage quit.

The visual of Scotty Too Hotty and '99 Satan Undertaker teaming together is priceless.

*GONG* accept the lord of darkness as your.. dance partner?!

I haven't even started the match yet. This is so absurd that I can't stop chuckling.

This thread is epic

Started the match and I am not amused. Mike Tyson is fucking countering everything with a Lou Thesz Press.

Good news is that The Undertaker (who has refused to tag in Scotty Too Hotty) has been punched in the face repeatedly by Mike Tyson, but is showing no ill effects. Gotta love THE PHENOM.

Just Hip-Tossed Mike Tyson through the announce table and gets up in 4 seconds. WTF. I know he is a bonus DLC, but come the fuck on.

<font color=goldenrod>WWE Universe treats every tag team match like it's Battlebowl.</font>

Old School and Tombstone. 1-2-3. Go massage your pigeons, asshole.

Sadly, no post-match celebration cut scene.

Next up: '00 Lita vs Stephanie McMahon (Hot Slut 2K Version)

No thong on 2000 Lita. I'm heart broken. The courage it took to wrestle with a thong pulled that far up your ass...and do a moonsault no less.

THQ didn't make the SMH model slutty enough. It is sweet princess Stephanie and not hot, big ol' titty, GAME TIME CUM SLURPIN', VAGINA RAVAGED BY THE KING OF KINGS VINTAGE Stephanie McMahon.

Straight sim/skip'd this match. I assume Lita won.

Next up: '97 Undertaker vs Dude Love.

I need to do something. I might edit these cards. I've got all these CAWs and none of them are being used and "technically" I've got Mick and Taker working double shots every week.

Still don't understand how '99 Taker looks WAYYY younger than '97 Undertaker. Satan make him get botox?

Too much "funk" for one episode of WWE Old School.

Sim'd that too. Couldn't handle the FUNK.

HeAT is next. Opening match -- Antonio Cesaro vs DDP

Probably going to sim through to the Legends Invade Tokyo show.

:lol:

WWE Legends Invade Tokyo (Wk 3 - April)

Rematch of the Century: Scotty Too Hotty & '99 Undertaker vs Pillman/Tyson
Tag Title Match: Road Warriors vs Big Boss Man & Ken Shamrock
Women's Title Match: Trish (c) vs Stephanie
European Title Match: British Bulldog (c) vs Godfather
Grudge Match: Cactus Jack vs '98 Rock
'04 John Cena vs '98 Mark Henry ( :lol: )
Main Event WWE Title Match: '97 Undertaker vs Mankind

Suck it, Inoki.

Simmed through to the Bulldog/Godfather match.

Taker/Scotty is 2-0.
Road Warriors retain.
Trish beat Steph.
...and I'm wondering what the fuck is going on with the AI Booker.

Tokyo ERUPTS for The Godfather & his HOES.

Looking back, how in the hell did WWE get away with The Godfather and Val Venis gimmicks?

Holy toledo, British Bulldog was a friggin' warrior. Managed to get some momentum going and nail him with a bunch of moves. He kicked out of the Pimp Drop, but I snatched him up in the Bearhug and he tapped.

Your NEW WWE European Gigolo Champion: The Godfather!

'97 Taker vs Mankind for the WWE Title is now an EXTREME RULES MATCH.

Close one. Kept on trying to chokeslam Mankind through a flaming table, but couldn't ever get the angle and I almost lost. Said screw it, and I tombstone'd him next to the flaming table. Still Da Champ - 1997 Undertaker.

Apparently you can't create a stable with males and females together, yet they have like 5 entrances for male/female combinations. WTF?

Last week before Extreme Rules. RAW had the same Brock/Cena and Punk/Kane matches. Now, NXT has all 3 members of The Shield in a Triple Threat match. This mode is beyond fucking retarded.

The CAW of Seth Rollins has a flack jacket that looks like it is made of mirror finish aluminum foil.

Roman Reigns too.

How the fuck can I get the CPU to book sensible matches and/or new matches? Everything I read says that if you edit cards, you won't get storylines.

Seriously? Now, NXT is getting the exact same matches. I've got Orton/ADR and Ziggler/HHH again.

Fuck yes! WWE Old School delivers.

Up next: '99 Satan Taker vs Godfather inside the confines of a STEEL CAGE

Next up: Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs '98 Rock vs Ken Shamrock

Might eliminate RAW and SmackDown! and just make every show a WWE Legends show.

Extreme Rules was a shocking night.

Orton defeated ADR to become World Heavyweight Champion.
Team Hell No lost the Tag Titles to Kofi/R-Truth.
Daniel Bryan defeated CM Punk to become WWE Champion.

Next night on RAW:

Some new matches, but Brock/Cena headlines RAW for a record 5th week in a row. I thought they booked Orton/Cena into the ground...

Wow, the booking does seem fucked.

Ah well, still quite entertaining!

<font color=goldenrod>I can't get onto the fucking servers at all.</font>

WWE Old School is the greatest show/brand in the history of wrestling. "WWE Legends present: Badd Blood" has been kick ass.

WWE Old School -- Badd Blood (In Yo House)
Stone Cold def. Mankind in an Inferno match.
Chainsaw Charlie def. Brian Pillman
Trish def. Lita to retain Women's Title.
Ken Shamrock def. Godfather in an Inferno match to win the Euro title.
The Road Warriors def. Acolytes in a Tables Match to retain Tag Titles.
Shawn Michaels def. Dude Love & Cactus Jack in a Triple Threat Match.
'97 Undertaker def. '98 Rock in an Inferno Match to retain WWE Title.

Holy shit!!! I guess Brock/Cena was a "Best of 5 Series".

Cena/Big Show headlines this week's RAW.

:lol:

Just simming through shows now and on Old School, Bob Backlund/Earl Hebner def. Shane McMahon/Mike Tyson.

:love:

Need to deactive refs and things.

Main Event of Old School is a clusterfuck match:

Bret Hart/Chainsaw Charlie vs HBK/Pillman

Pillman and Bret are in a stable together.

For the 2nd SmackDown! in a row, Sin Cara vs Road Dogg is the "featured match". I will actually play it this time to see if something happens.

Thinking about putting in FIFA 12.

Road Dogg accidentally knocked the referee out to start the match. HILARITY ENSUES WITH MOOD LIGHTING

It is fun playing as Sin Cara.

After a shitload of high spots and fighting on the outside, Sin Cara makes Road Dogg tap out to the dreaded Octopus Hold.

I bet a New Age Outlaws vs Rey/Sin Cara match would be fun to watch in real life. Maybe we'll get to see it.

No post-match shenanigans.

Next up: Undertaker/Mark Henry vs ADR/Sheamus.

Epic episode of SmackDown!

I'd mark out if they did an "Old School SmackDown!" and brought back the Ovaltron and Oval set. I loved that era of SmackDown!

I used to love all the set designs WWE would use to give each PPV and show a unique feel. Now, they are all basically the same except for WrestleMania.

I downloaded a Rhyno CAW, and somehow the guy got an actual picture of Rhyno to be his avatar in the menu/select screen/matchup screens. How the hell did he do that?

<font color=goldenrod>Man, all of the Rollins and Reigns CAW's I've found suck. Found 2 good Ambrose ones though - one with Shield gear and another with his actual wrestling gear from FCW.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>Maybe I can take the best Rollins and Reigns on there and just edit them to have the exact attire Ambrose is wearing. Otherwise they just look like floating heads.</font>

Apparently, I posted this in the NFL thread ( :lol: )

Add that to the archives.
