Do they still make wrestling games? I haven't seen any
>>321489510
2K16 came out a little bit ago.
They still release yearly. It was a decent game, better than 2K15.
>>321489510
pretty much yearly releases by 2K
>>321489510
Yes they do and you just miss all the advertising because they're really only on TV during sports events.

>>321489228
Honestly, Samoan wrestlers as a whole are pretty overrated. Samoa Joe is the only one who isn't part of the same family, and the only ones without the "big dumb powerhouse" gimmicks are Roman Reigns (even though they tried pushing him as a powerhouse) and the Usos (who are shit).
>there were actual Anao'i family members who have been in the industry for decades and know it's all a big work who got legitimately angry that Reigns didn't go over Brock fucking Lesnar and Seth Rollins at Wrestle fucking Mania
>>321489228
Yokozuna. The sheer difference between him and every champion he preceded was so great.
A line of well bodied classic wrestlers, and all of a sudden a big fucking sumo is leading the company.

What's the best wrassling game to emulate? I lost my copy of Here Comes the Pain and want to know if there's anything better than just emulating that.

I like Joe best because Tazz was my favorite wrestler as a kid. Joe had a similar swag to him during the early days of lol TNA. I also never really seen a wrestler with Joe's look that was as good of a wrassler as he was. Dude had size, speed and some nasty looking strikes.
There has been other samoans outside of that family fyi. Wasn't Steamboat part samoan?
>>321490402
Nigga use to have the epic matches with my nigga Jeff Hardy. Wwe was so much better when I was ten.
>>321490857
Best to emulate is probably still No Mercy, it's been cracked open to all hell and back.
>>321490952
>yfw they had a back and forth feud
>Jeff didn't look completely helpless
I wish Umaga won the feud , but this made Jeff look like a star and he won world titles afterwards.
>>321491141
Umaga use to kill juff all the damn time. Not sure if it was Jeff master selling or Umaga just didn't give a fuck.
>>321491460
Yeah, during the intercontinental feud, Jeff would always pull some crazy bullshit and somehow get a win even though Umaga was killing him.
Like the final PPV match they had where he Swanton'd off a god damn truck just to put Umaga out.
>Boss looks like an ayylien
>>321490936
Steamboat is mixed white/Jap, born in New York, and billed from Hawaii.
Every WWE Samoan wrestler except Samoa Joe (who's only been in NXT so far) and Peter Maivia's relatives (including the Rock) are directly descended from Amituanai Anoa'i. The Fatu branch of the family (Umaga, Rikishi, Naomi, Usos) are descended from Amituanai's daughter Elevera, who married Solofa Fatu. Amituanai and Peter Maivia were blood brothers, which means they're biologically unrelated but considered extended family by cultural tradition, which is how the WWE can get away with pushing Roman Reigns as the Rock's cousin.
>>321492897
Don't forget Snuka (from Fiji) married into the Anoa'i family, meaning Tamina is related to Reigns and the Usos as well.
>>321492897
>hich means they're biologically unrelated but considered extended family by cultural tradition, which is how the WWE can get away with pushing Roman Reigns as the Rock's cousin.
I am honestly okay with this desu. They should get more samoan's outside of the family though. I hope they push Joe and push the fact that he isn't a part of their family. They can actually play that up and do some interesting stories with it. Haitch can bring in Joe as the samoan outsider hitman to take out Reigns.
Of course they won't do anything with Joe and just fuck him over is most likely ;_;
>>321492897
Samoa Joe isn't Samoan or related to the Anoa'is.
>>321487897
>google what circuit he's wrestlingin in now after WWE
>he's dead
>>321493195
They have no plans for anyone that isn't Roman man, it's best to just accept it.
>>321492690
thank god they're pushing someone attractive for now.
>>321493454
>B-But Joe can be the anti Reigns? He can be the bad guy that tries to take out Roman. He can make it personal and go after his family because he is the outsider samoan. They need bad guys on their roster anyways.
God fuck this company seriously. They have sucked balls sinceBenoit died.
>>321493314
>Samoa Joe isn't Samoan
Prove it, idiot.

I literally said exactly this twice.

>Rock calls Haku his uncle
>Camacho and Tama Tonga are sons of Haku
>Bad Luck Fale is related to Tama and Camacho
>Bad Luck Fale is related to the Rock
>>321493652
They don't have the foresight to think of this, they don't care, they just want Roman to look strong.
>>321493694
Well for one he's Polynesian.
Samoans are just weaker and softer Maoris
>boss is a big man
>boss makes you walk the line and serve hard times
>>321493913
Samoans are Polynesian, dumbass. It's a broader ethnic group of which Samoans, Tongans, Maori, etc. are part of. You might as well have said "Sheamus isn't Irish because he's European"
>>321494112
They're literally the same thing.
>>321493913
>>321494249
If they're all Polynesians then he still isn't Samoan you retarded fuck, as in he literally is not from Samoa and neither is his family.
>>321494407
Maoris are best Polynesians
>Polynesian culture discussion on /v/
I'm from Hawaii and I am confused
>>321494474
He's Samoan by ethnicity, retard. Most of the Anoa'i/Fatu family wasn't born in Samoa either.
>>321490402

>>321494823
That's like calling someone from New Zealand a Samoan, which I'm not sure you realise is fucking retarded.

>>321495021
If a person is Samoan by ethnicity and just happens to live in New Zealand then yes, they're Samoan.
>>321495597
By ethnicity they're Polynesian, Samoa is just a place, dummy.
>>321495754
>By ethnicity they're European, Ireland is just a place, dummy.
Cesaro, please save the WWE.
>>321495841
I'm probably wasting my time but you know all those places in the Eastern part of Europe? Poland, Ukraine, Bulgaria, etc? They're all different countries but the people are Slavic. You know all those places in the Northern part of Europe? Norway, Sweden, Denmark etc? They're all different countries but the people are Scandinavian.
I know this is hard for you but please try to understand the difference between nationality and ethnicity.
>>321496304
Yes, and all of the Slavic and Scandinavian peoples have distinct cultures from each other, just like how Samoans and other Polynesian peoples have distinct cultures from each other. Samoan is more than just a nationality, it's not like being American.
>>321496482
Why would Not Samoan Joe have the culture of a country he and his family have never, ever lived in?
>boss hails FROM VICTORIA, TEXAS
>>321496676
Because a cultural group is not limited to a single country.
>>321496278
>people connecting with a swiss man
>>321496910
Yes, and that culture is the greater Polynesian culture, not Samoan.
All Samoans are Polynesian but all Polynesians are not Samoan. It's very simple, and if you haven't learned it by now I can't help you. Good day.
>>321497063
>Yes, and that culture is the greater European culture, not Irish. If you haven't learned it by now I can't help you. Good day.
Feel free to tell the Samoans that they're not actually a distinct cultural group and are just "Polynesian" and see how that goes.
