Kind of a different type of video than usual, probably won’t get as many views as usual but it’s all goooood y’all just let me know if you guys rocked with it. That’s all that matters! 🙏🏼❤️
Listen man I ain't gon tell u what u wanna hear u make videos for us but we don't force u too as long as you enjoy the content you're making then we all gooooooood
You're actually wrong about WWE 13 being the first game with "Cult of Personality," WWE 12 was the first game with that song for CM Punk. Though it didn't have the feedback sound effect. It was an incomplete entrance, CM Punk still had his "This Fire Burns" motion, but the song wasn't in the game, which is very weird.
I was addicted to using Rey Mysterio in the original Smackdown vs. Raw that came out in 2004. Between his entrance, his attire, and his moveset, I just enjoyed playing as him more than anyone else. And that's actually the reason he's one of my top 3 favorite wrestlers of all-time.
I can relate to that. Saw my mate playing the game as Rey, the moment I saw the 619. I needed to play this game. A few weeks later, I watched WWE for the first time
Dang I made like a whole list LOL Smackdown! HCTP - Kane SVR - Chris Jericho SVR 06 - Randy orton & Muhammad Hassan SVR 2007 - John cena & triple h SVR 2008 - Jeff hardy & Randy orton SVR 2009 - Chris Jericho Legends of wrestlemania - Shawn Michaels 94’ SVR 2010 - Jeff hardy & Randy orton SVR 2011 - Randy orton WWE 12 - Randy orton & cm punk WWE 13 - cm punk WWE 2k14 - cm punk & biker undertaker WWE 2k15 - cm punk & RVD WWE 2k16 - Batista & Kevin Owen WWE 2k17 - aj styles WWE 2k18 - bray Wyatt, dean ambrose, & Daniel Bryan WWE 2k19 - Adam Cole, Kevin Owen & Bobby lashley WWE 2k20 - aj styles, edge 06, & Roman reigns WWE 2k22 - Sasha banks & Bobby lashley WWE 2k23 - Logan Paul, Becky lynch, & Randy orton WWE 2k24 - cm punk, Damien priest, & Cody Rhodes yess I’m only a 19 year old girl but I grew up playing WWE games all my life because of my dad 🩷
If there is one thing for sure. RVD, Jeff Hardy & Rey Mysterio were the 3 of the most used wrestlers in the game. Their movesets were just on another level of creativity in the old classic Smackdown & SvR games.
My favorite player in SVR 08 was Sabu. Using all his chair-based move-set was so cool and the fact that no one in wrestling has chosen replicate them is a shame.
My man. We are the same. JEFF HARDY in Smackdown Shut Your Mouth was absolutely the best!!! I absolutely rinsed him in that game. That was the best time to be alive.
Brooooo shoutout SvR '11 Batista lol. I remember changing his entrance to the Ezekiel Jackson theme song bc I thought it was just too cool to be wasted on him and that Shades Batista was the only one whose tron and character could match the aura 😂😂
This video was nostalgic, and it reminded me how Shinsuke Nakamura in 2K17 hit different. He made his WWE game debut with that red Takeover Dallas attire, a fun moveset, and a top 3 entrance in the game.
In 2K18, I had two GOATS. Enzo Amore and Drew McIntyre. My friend could never beat me with Drew no matter who he picked. It was so funny. And Enzo was just someone I would play to troll him and beat him. Can’t forget the time he picked AJ Styles and I counted the Styles Clash with a roll up and won. Didn’t even knew that reversal existed, but man did it make that night memorable.
I always rocked with the weirder ones: the dudleys in svr, viscera in 07, khali in 08, big daddy v in 09, and cant even cap so many hrs as bayley and charolette in 2k17
One and the same, man. Just out of curiosity, I remember giving him Jacob Cass' theme when I would basically do the equivalent to 2K's Superstar Mode in Universe. It was just the best experience ever.
Old school Undertaker in HCTP John Cena in Day of Reckoning 1 and 2 (that running dropkick lives in my head forever, did he even do that move in real life?) Kurt Angle in SvR07 Randy Orton in SvR09 (debut of the Viper gimmick in WWE games, everything from the bald head to the Voices theme song to the Hunting RKO, chefs kiss) CM Punk in WWE 12/13 Aliester Black in WWE 2K19
Terry Funk, CM Punk, RVD and Chris Jericho in SvR 2011 were so fun to play as. Other Favorites, Sabu in SvR 2008, Dean Ambrose in WWE 2K19, Daniel Bryan in WWE 2K14 and Dusty Rhodes & Kurt Angle in WWE 2K24.
Kane in Here Comes the Pain brings back fun memories. This was after he took off the mask and this version of Kane extremely terrified me as a kid more than his iconic masked days. I don't need to list the many infamous moments Kane had during this time. Giving Linda Mcmahon a Tombstone Piledriver made me drop my jaw. I legitimately thought that she was gonna be permanently paralyzed. Side note, his inverted attire in Survivor Series 2001 Winner Take All Match, underrated IMO.
A lot of those guys were hella fun to play as. I miss the sheer number of personalized animations and moves that made each wrestler feel unique to play as especially in Here Comes The Pain.
Edge, Orton, Rey, Wade Barrett and Sheamus were my go to guys cause I just loved their entrances and move set combos. But I specifically remember this one time in universe mode, I wanted to get the World Heavyweight Title off of Del Rio, so I picked Sheamus, gave myself unlimited finishers and as soon as that bell rang, I just kept spamming Brogue Kicks 😂 Safe to say, Del Rio did not walk out as World Heavyweight Champ after that.
I remember liking playing as the rock in here comes the pain because of his moveset it's so satisfying to see him do the rock-bottom finisher in slow mo, as for randy orton i remember having a friend who was so obsessed with him in svr8 that he wouldn't let me use him and would make him the wwe champion, i remember beating him with triple h in a tlc match
Off topic: I've been to my first ever wrestling event yesterday. Thank you Pav for continuously inspiring me to keep on following WWE while most of my country are not interested anymore
My favorite wrestlers to play as (with no particular order): 1. Undertaker in SvR 2011 and hctp. 2. Kurt Angle in any PS2 game. 3. Stacy Keibler in OG SvR, she has a unique moveset that I used some of her moves in my created wrestler. 4. Chris Jericho in OG SvR and 2011. Usually I play as my created wrestler, but when I don't, those usually are the ones I pick.
OMG! Kurt Angle all the way up to SVR 2007 on PS2 always gave me fits if I played against him. I looked on my SVR 2006 and 2007 profile stats recently and Kurt Angle accounts for more than half of my defeats. I still play those games on PS2 very often.
SVR 2010 Jeff Hardy, SVR 2010 Randy Orton, SVR 2011 Undertaker, SVR 2011 Batista, and WWE 13 CM Punk were my top 5 of wrestlers to use in wrestling video games
As a kid, no matter what WWE game I played, I had to use my boy Big Show! I know his not the coolest, but he makes every move look super painful and impact-full no matter how simple the move is, when I used Big show, I used to feel unstoppable! 7 ft tall and 400+ pounds, who is going to stop me? no one! good old times!
I won't forget in Smackdown Vs RAW 2007, Batista was something else The entrance, the moves and wow dominant he was was like no other 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Smackdown Vs RAW 2010, I loved Randy Orton as a character, especially when I changed his entrance to the Legend Killer gimmick with the gold fireworks And then the moveset and just how vicious he was in that game was just amazing, especially the RKO. That just hit different
My favorite superstar to play as is Randy orton and the fiend bray, not only because those are two of my favorite characters in WWE but WWE 2K24 had a PERFECT look with the fiend, the way he looked in the game, the smoothness of his moves like the sister Abigail and the mandible claw, to even his entrance and victory motion, especially the championship entrance and victory motions, but Randy Orton was on a different level on this game, they brought back the old rko which was my favorite version of the rko in the game, the model was INCREDIBLE, the super rko, the punt kick, the way he moves in the game was SOOO GOOD, and made him look so real in the game. Those two are like my most played superstars in the game.
Great video Pav, probably one of my top 10 favorite videos from you now. And to answer your question my favorite wrestlers I like to play in games is not many since I never played that many wrestling games yet but I have a few. My first wrestling game was 2k17 on PS3 and my favorite wrestlers on there is Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Sasha Banks and for 2k14 recently is CM Punk, Roman Reigns and Lita.
7:58 Is the CPU Character a Champion in your game? Cause Champion characters tend to do that usually to try and retain their Title via DQ even if it's not a Title match.
Randy Orton is my go to every year since his WWE 12 cover because he’s got all the reversal stats and that rko is deadly but for Fun it’s always a mix of dean ambrose Seth Rollins aj styles undertaker and Jeff hardy lol but when I was younger definitely was a Brock lesnar or undertaker ironically
Svr 2006, Shawn Michaels had the running sweet chin music as a normal move and I always just laid my friends out with it and start screaming like I actually hit my finisher and go for the pin on them even at the start of the match just to troll them.
For me it was simple. Played using Jeff Hardy in all the games he was in. When Jeff wasn't in the game... created him and used him the most again. I went the extra mile creating him too. Made different versions of him. Retro Jeff, TNA Jeff, Late 2000's Jeff, Late 2010's Jeff & Willow. + each with multiple Artires.
I love this concept for a video, I thought I’d share my own: SmackDown JBI: Rhyno, he was so sick in this game. The Gore was awesome and unlocking the Hardcore Title in Season was sweet. SmackDown SYM: Pav was absolutely on point with this pick. Literally the only thing I didn’t like about him in this game was his theme. I honestly used to not pick him sometimes because I’d get so disappointed when I’d see his entrance. SmackDown HCTP: Goldberg, I mean come on. Jericho was pretty sweet in this game and I’ll get to him, but oh my god Goldberg felt perfectly authentic in this game. SVR: Batista, he looked very accurate to himself at the time and his entrance with the evolution theme was awesome. The move set was cracked tf out and the Batista Bomb looked perfect. SVR ‘06: Orlando Jordan, he’s a one timer in the SVR series but he was so damn cool to me as a kid. His theme was awesome, his look was great, I even had is old Jakks figure of the attire he had in the game. SVR ‘07: RVD, it was the rolling thunder, the attire, the ECW Title push and the new theme for me. RVD and Kurt Angle were the GODS of SVR ‘07. I still remember I beat the GM Mode of that game on my PSP on the way back from a dentist trip. SVR ‘08: CM Punk, this was a really hard choice for me because Marcus Cor Von was right there and I loved him to death in TNA. But Punk is my alltime GOAT, even as a kid I couldn’t get enough of Punk. I remember my dad beat my ass on SVR ‘08 with Rick Rude in front of all of his friends and totally punked me out. I got the last laugh though because my mom ended up just giving me his copy of the game. SVR ‘09: Chris Jericho, I was dying for Jericho to come back as a kid and when he did and we got the sick ass metal remix theme in this game it honestly saved the whole game for me. Otherwise I would’ve saw it for how mid it truly was. It’s a damn shame we never got Deuce and Domino though, they were scrapped from development. SVR 2010: I hated this game as a kid. I only played it a few times. There was something about the presentation, the HUD, the Road to Wrestlemania, just something didn’t hit for me. And going back to it just feels like SVR 2011 with no Universe Mode. SVR 2011: Vance Archer, I mean who else would it be? He was the dark horse of this game for sure and this was a time in WWE where I was really only watching Wrestlemania and maybe the Royal Rumble so seeing Lance Hoyt randomly in a WWE game shocked me as a kid. WWE 12: I didn’t get this game until 2K14 was already out as a kid but when I did play this game I was always playing as CM Punk. He was on fire at the time, perfect guy to play as in that game. WWE ‘13: Randy Orton, I have a lot of love for Tracksuit Rock in that game but Randy Orton is perfect in ‘13. The RKO is the best move animation in the game for sure. I used to love playing universe mode like a career mode and following Orton through the year. WWE 2K14: Dean Ambrose, The Shield rocked my world as a kid. They were so ridiculously cool and I wasn’t a smark enough to know that NXT still existed or that Ambrose and Rollins were Indy guys so I just totally bought their characters. I vividly remember the first time I played the game was on my clear shell (prison style) CRT that I got from the flea market. I played as Dean Ambrose against Wade Barrett and I did the OG Dirty Deeds and was hooked. That Christmas was all about The Shield for me because I also got their first Mattel figure three pack from K-Mart.
In all the recent games, Tyler Bate is my guy. Fun moveset and low overall to make matches challenging. The other is Doink the clown just for the fun of doing the special mirror taunt and doing rollup city to online tryharder
WWE 2k14 and 15 on ps3 were my most played WWE games ever and my favorite wrestler was probably Kane. I just found his appearence really cool, his moveset so entertaining and the Chokeslam animation was PERFECT.
The original SVR Undertaker just hit different man. Being the first wrestling thing I ever found out about, the Undertaker was like the coolest thing to 4 year old me lol. Beat the career mode probably 20+ times as that man and did it multiple times undefeated.
I have one too many favorites in wrestling games but I always create my own and when I do create them i get inspired from my favorite wrestlers in WWE, ECW, WCW, AEW etc. I love letting my imagination go wild.
To name off the top of my head in all the games they were available in, HBK, Triple H, Orton, Mysterio, Edge, both Matt and Jeff Hardy, Edge, AJ Styles, there were a ton I just loved to play as.
Nahhhhhh Rey mysterio in svr 2008 was a different breed. His entrance with that helmet the theme the black white attire the movset was soo cool like I was 4 years old but he was Everything to me in that game.
The last WWE game I ever played was probably SvR 2009, so I didn’t experience most of these but I can definitely tell you that Ultimo Dragon (HCtP), Brock Lesnar (HCtP), Fred Durst (Just Bring It), Chris Benoit (any game he was in), Ken Shamrock (Smackdown 2000), Stacy Keibler (HCtP), and Thug Life John Cena (HCtP) were always my go-to characters. Honorable Mention: Eugene (SvR2006) As you can see…I’m old and came up during the Attitude & Ruthless Aggression Eras and stopped watching around the time of the Benoit Tragedy, so my interest was limited maotly to the games until I started seeing more new faces I didn’t recognize and subsequently stopped playing those too. Given the “rise” of AEW…which I found to be “low rent WCW” w/ mostly indie wrestlers from the couple episodes I watched and the news of them losing major stars (due to Tony Khan’s ego & inability to deal with wrestlers)… how Triple H is (from what I’ve heard) actually bringing the WWE back to the prominence it once had and possibly even better than ever…I may just start binging all the games from 2010 to now! If there’s anything I need to know, let me know bc I’m all ears!
I remember for whatever reason when I was like 6, I would use Goldust on Ps2 and I would go full Perc Angle mode. I think his entrance music was probably why I used him. Such a cool song.
Two underrated character's in the recent games imo are Cameron Grimes and Nathan Frazer. They both got amazing move sets and Nathan's theme in 2k23 is probably one of the best.
3:27 This was also my fav character in that game bro, I remember trying so many times to beat Rey Mysterio as him and I couldn't do it. I didn't understand how to properly game
Im so glad RVD and Eugene were named for SVR 06 they were always my tag champs oddly enough but they always had a great tag finisher combo, first get a finisher for both and as Eugene tag in RVD they had just a basic double team move like a double back drop or arm toss but then CPU Eugene would hit his peoples elbow which then sets you up as RVD to hit the 5 star. Such good memories
For me, svr10 was the game. We'd play with friends all night, and my guy was Rey Mysterio because he could roll. When my friends thought they'd hit a move, I'd just roll outta their way to drive them crazy lol. Good times. Rey was quite fast and had a great move-set as well.
"why did you skip most games?" "Where's this game? Where's that game?" "Dur." "Duh." "Dur." Bruh you can't expect him to have played every single game.
I remember I once decided to play as Justin Gabriel in wwe 12 and was surprised how smooth gameplay felt and also R Truth was fun to play in that game too
Kind of a different type of video than usual, probably won’t get as many views as usual but it’s all goooood y’all just let me know if you guys rocked with it. That’s all that matters! 🙏🏼❤️
You dropped this while I was watching dynamite?
Great video
Doesn’t matter what type of vid it is it’s still obviously a banger🔥
Listen man I ain't gon tell u what u wanna hear u make videos for us but we don't force u too as long as you enjoy the content you're making then we all gooooooood
You're actually wrong about WWE 13 being the first game with "Cult of Personality," WWE 12 was the first game with that song for CM Punk. Though it didn't have the feedback sound effect. It was an incomplete entrance, CM Punk still had his "This Fire Burns" motion, but the song wasn't in the game, which is very weird.
Jeff Hardy in SvR 2010 was one of my go-to wrestlers to chose. The attires, The moveset, The entrance, The theme & That iconic face paint.
john morrison in wwe svr 11 went crazy
🐐
frrrr he had everything the look the moveset the finisher he was goated
hahaha I remember. good days
Wwe 12*** with his new move set
He had more moves in 2010 though
I used to use Tatsumi Fujinami in WWE 2K17 as a joke playing w my cousins, then it stopped being a joke, bro was fire
I was addicted to using Rey Mysterio in the original Smackdown vs. Raw that came out in 2004. Between his entrance, his attire, and his moveset, I just enjoyed playing as him more than anyone else. And that's actually the reason he's one of my top 3 favorite wrestlers of all-time.
HCTP/SvR Mysterio (since they were pretty much the same moveset wise) was the best version for sure
@@silversoulken 💯
Love spamming 619 to the Refs lol😂
I can relate to that. Saw my mate playing the game as Rey, the moment I saw the 619. I needed to play this game. A few weeks later, I watched WWE for the first time
SVR 2011 Orton was amazing
Randy Orton was a menace to society as GM he had his goons Koslov and Ezekiel Jackson body me as Cena and MVP he even tried to make me turn on him
I remember Cole saying “Orton!”after every Rko🤣
@@thecomedicgenius373also like 90% of the time he entered the rumble in that game cole would say "Orton Rand y Orton with fire in his eyes".

Respect to you girl from a 27 year old lady ❤ your goated
I just love the physics in SVR 2011. You could do some of the most brutal spots in that game
Pav came in clutch with this. Currently with my newborn and I’m about to put him on
Congrats on your newborn
@@phuntshonorbuwangchen3609thanks you so much man
Skin fade Orton was a demon walking amongst men, even in the video games
If there is one thing for sure. RVD, Jeff Hardy & Rey Mysterio were the 3 of the most used wrestlers in the game. Their movesets were just on another level of creativity in the old classic Smackdown & SvR games.

My man. We are the same. JEFF HARDY in Smackdown Shut Your Mouth was absolutely the best!!! I absolutely rinsed him in that game. That was the best time to be alive.
Seth Rollins in 16 was so fun to play as, but Dean Ambrose was also a amazing character in 16
Brooooo shoutout SvR '11 Batista lol. I remember changing his entrance to the Ezekiel Jackson theme song bc I thought it was just too cool to be wasted on him and that Shades Batista was the only one whose tron and character could match the aura 😂😂
I remember that song. Goated song fs
Kane in HCTP was real underrated
damn PAV you made the cpu rage quit against you? that’s exactly why i’ve been a fan of yours for years man, you’re awesome

For WWE'12, I always loved playing with Evan Bourne. I loved doing the Air Bourne on people.
Evan bourne is crimminaly Underrated in general
One and the same, man. Just out of curiosity, I remember giving him Jacob Cass' theme when I would basically do the equivalent to 2K's Superstar Mode in Universe. It was just the best experience ever.
He was also super fun to use in svr2011
Old school Undertaker in HCTP
John Cena in Day of Reckoning 1 and 2 (that running dropkick lives in my head forever, did he even do that move in real life?)
Kurt Angle in SvR07
Randy Orton in SvR09 (debut of the Viper gimmick in WWE games, everything from the bald head to the Voices theme song to the Hunting RKO, chefs kiss)
CM Punk in WWE 12/13
Aliester Black in WWE 2K19

You were 100% on point with Jeff Hardy and Taker in SYM
Such great memories 👌🏻🔥
A lot of those guys were hella fun to play as. I miss the sheer number of personalized animations and moves that made each wrestler feel unique to play as especially in Here Comes The Pain.
Rey Mysterio or Jeff Hardy were go to guys just because of their insane movesets 🔥
For whatever reason, I loved using Matt Hardy in Svr 2010😂🔥
Samething
you are not alone, his moveset was fire and so fun to use
Matt in SvR 10 is unique compared to his other version, both in animation and model
@@fikzgaming279 it was the attire🤣 and the new heel turn fasho🔥 thought he was a main event player 💯
It was so hard to find a game with both RVD and Jeff
Back then
Both are my favourite wrestlers of all time to me 😌🙏🏾
Idk if i’m alone in this but sheamus in 2k14 was my go to everytime stg 😭🙏🏾
Edge, Orton, Rey, Wade Barrett and Sheamus were my go to guys cause I just loved their entrances and move set combos.

Smackdown vs Raw 2007: Chris Masters the entrance and the masterlock was awesome
Man I love playing with svr 2010 Tommy Dreamer. He randomly became one of my favorite wrestlers.
Ngl, but I always found myself having so much fun using Bobby Lashley in SVR 2008, which is unfortunate, because I couldn't play him in 24/7 mode.
Yeah Bobby is a goat in svr 2008 his spear unique ❤
I remember liking playing as the rock in here comes the pain because of his moveset it's so satisfying to see him do the rock-bottom finisher in slow mo, as for randy orton i remember having a friend who was so obsessed with him in svr8 that he wouldn't let me use him and would make him the wwe champion, i remember beating him with triple h in a tlc match
Dude storytelling in videos are top notch! Love this channel!
Off topic: I've been to my first ever wrestling event yesterday. Thank you Pav for continuously inspiring me to keep on following WWE while most of my country are not interested anymore
Love this type of stuff man, W PAV as always i see the consistency
I miss the fighting stances from the SmackDown and early SVR games.
It gave the wrestlers so much personality.
0:29 ayoo, how OP do you have to be to combine an F5 and a Spear?!
Been a loyal fan since I was in 4th grade, just started high school love your content keep grinding man🔥
My favorite wrestlers to play as (with no particular order):
1. Undertaker in SvR 2011 and hctp.
2. Kurt Angle in any PS2 game.
3. Stacy Keibler in OG SvR, she has a unique moveset that I used some of her moves in my created wrestler.
4. Chris Jericho in OG SvR and 2011.
Usually I play as my created wrestler, but when I don't, those usually are the ones I pick.
OMG! Kurt Angle all the way up to SVR 2007 on PS2 always gave me fits if I played against him. I looked on my SVR 2006 and 2007 profile stats recently and Kurt Angle accounts for more than half of my defeats. I still play those games on PS2 very often.
Nice video bro! Keep posting every week. And play some games like gm mode in svr 2008
SVR 2010 Jeff Hardy, SVR 2010 Randy Orton, SVR 2011 Undertaker, SVR 2011 Batista, and WWE 13 CM Punk were my top 5 of wrestlers to use in wrestling video games
Shelton Benjamin in '07, Dolph Ziggler & Christian in '13, HBK in '15, Jeff Hardy in WWE2k22
I remember always using and abusing Jeff Hardy in SvR 2010 his moveset was just unreal in that game.
Masked Kane in any game that had him, I would custom make him with face paint in ones that didn’t have him
You're such a great creator, loved how you thought to do mainstay favorite too, creative🎉
Jeff Hardy and RVD in Shut Your Mouth. NUFF SAID!
As a kid, no matter what WWE game I played, I had to use my boy Big Show! I know his not the coolest, but he makes every move look super painful and impact-full no matter how simple the move is, when I used Big show, I used to feel unstoppable! 7 ft tall and 400+ pounds, who is going to stop me? no one! good old times!
in SvR11 Punk is probably my favorite. Loved his Jesus-look with the long hair and beard.
I won't forget in Smackdown Vs RAW 2007, Batista was something else
The entrance, the moves and wow dominant he was was like no other 🔥🔥🔥🔥.
Smackdown Vs RAW 2010, I loved Randy Orton as a character, especially when I changed his entrance to the Legend Killer gimmick with the gold fireworks
And then the moveset and just how vicious he was in that game was just amazing, especially the RKO. That just hit different
Mew Wrestlingifs video!!! Always makes my day!
Test in WWE SmackDown! Here Comes The Pain
My favorite superstar to play as is Randy orton and the fiend bray, not only because those are two of my favorite characters in WWE but WWE 2K24 had a PERFECT look with the fiend, the way he looked in the game, the smoothness of his moves like the sister Abigail and the mandible claw, to even his entrance and victory motion, especially the championship entrance and victory motions, but Randy Orton was on a different level on this game, they brought back the old rko which was my favorite version of the rko in the game, the model was INCREDIBLE, the super rko, the punt kick, the way he moves in the game was SOOO GOOD, and made him look so real in the game.

7:58 Is the CPU Character a Champion in your game? Cause Champion characters tend to do that usually to try and retain their Title via DQ even if it's not a Title match.
Randy Orton is my go to every year since his WWE 12 cover because he’s got all the reversal stats and that rko is deadly but for
Fun it’s always a mix of dean ambrose Seth Rollins aj styles undertaker and Jeff hardy lol but when I was younger definitely was a Brock lesnar or undertaker ironically
Svr 2006, Shawn Michaels had the running sweet chin music as a normal move and I always just laid my friends out with it and start screaming like I actually hit my finisher and go for the pin on them even at the start of the match just to troll them.
For me it was simple.
Played using Jeff Hardy in all the games he was in.
When Jeff wasn't in the game... created him and used him the most again.
I went the extra mile creating him too.
Made different versions of him. Retro Jeff, TNA Jeff, Late 2000's Jeff, Late 2010's Jeff & Willow. + each with multiple Artires.
I love this concept for a video, I thought I’d share my own:
SmackDown JBI: Rhyno, he was so sick in this game. The Gore was awesome and unlocking the Hardcore Title in Season was sweet.
SmackDown SYM: Pav was absolutely on point with this pick. Literally the only thing I didn’t like about him in this game was his theme. I honestly used to not pick him sometimes because I’d get so disappointed when I’d see his entrance.
SmackDown HCTP: Goldberg, I mean come on. Jericho was pretty sweet in this game and I’ll get to him, but oh my god Goldberg felt perfectly authentic in this game.
SVR: Batista, he looked very accurate to himself at the time and his entrance with the evolution theme was awesome. The move set was cracked tf out and the Batista Bomb looked perfect.
SVR ‘06: Orlando Jordan, he’s a one timer in the SVR series but he was so damn cool to me as a kid. His theme was awesome, his look was great, I even had is old Jakks figure of the attire he had in the game.
SVR ‘07: RVD, it was the rolling thunder, the attire, the ECW Title push and the new theme for me. RVD and Kurt Angle were the GODS of SVR ‘07. I still remember I beat the GM Mode of that game on my PSP on the way back from a dentist trip.
SVR ‘08: CM Punk, this was a really hard choice for me because Marcus Cor Von was right there and I loved him to death in TNA. But Punk is my alltime GOAT, even as a kid I couldn’t get enough of Punk. I remember my dad beat my ass on SVR ‘08 with Rick Rude in front of all of his friends and totally punked me out. I got the last laugh though because my mom ended up just giving me his copy of the game.
SVR ‘09: Chris Jericho, I was dying for Jericho to come back as a kid and when he did and we got the sick ass metal remix theme in this game it honestly saved the whole game for me. Otherwise I would’ve saw it for how mid it truly was. It’s a damn shame we never got Deuce and Domino though, they were scrapped from development.
SVR 2010: I hated this game as a kid. I only played it a few times. There was something about the presentation, the HUD, the Road to Wrestlemania, just something didn’t hit for me. And going back to it just feels like SVR 2011 with no Universe Mode.
SVR 2011: Vance Archer, I mean who else would it be? He was the dark horse of this game for sure and this was a time in WWE where I was really only watching Wrestlemania and maybe the Royal Rumble so seeing Lance Hoyt randomly in a WWE game shocked me as a kid.
WWE 12: I didn’t get this game until 2K14 was already out as a kid but when I did play this game I was always playing as CM Punk. He was on fire at the time, perfect guy to play as in that game.
WWE ‘13: Randy Orton, I have a lot of love for Tracksuit Rock in that game but Randy Orton is perfect in ‘13. The RKO is the best move animation in the game for sure. I used to love playing universe mode like a career mode and following Orton through the year.
WWE 2K14: Dean Ambrose, The Shield rocked my world as a kid. They were so ridiculously cool and I wasn’t a smark enough to know that NXT still existed or that Ambrose and Rollins were Indy guys so I just totally bought their characters. I vividly remember the first time I played the game was on my clear shell (prison style) CRT that I got from the flea market. I played as Dean Ambrose against Wade Barrett and I did the OG Dirty Deeds and was hooked. That Christmas was all about The Shield for me because I also got their first Mattel figure three pack from K-Mart.
Yoooo Hollywood rock was my fav character in HCTP I love it
Punk and Jericho were so nice to play as in SVR 11 🔥🔥
I love when this guys Uploads 🐐
In all the recent games, Tyler Bate is my guy. Fun moveset and low overall to make matches challenging.
The other is Doink the clown just for the fun of doing the special mirror taunt and doing rollup city to online tryharder
Goldberg & Brock in HCTP & Undertaker in SVR2011 was unbelievably powerful😭
HCTP John Cena lowkey goated along with 06/07 Kurt Angle, WWE2k22 Triple H was hella fun to use online also
WWE 2k14 and 15 on ps3 were my most played WWE games ever and my favorite wrestler was probably Kane. I just found his appearence really cool, his moveset so entertaining and the Chokeslam animation was PERFECT.
The original SVR Undertaker just hit different man. Being the first wrestling thing I ever found out about, the Undertaker was like the coolest thing to 4 year old me lol. Beat the career mode probably 20+ times as that man and did it multiple times undefeated.
I have one too many favorites in wrestling games but I always create my own and when I do create them i get inspired from my favorite wrestlers in WWE, ECW, WCW, AEW etc. I love letting my imagination go wild.
edge and kurt angle were my dudes in 07, roman was my dude in 2k14, daniel bryan, adam cole, and seth rollins were my favorites in 2k19
To name off the top of my head in all the games they were available in, HBK, Triple H, Orton, Mysterio, Edge, both Matt and Jeff Hardy, Edge, AJ Styles, there were a ton I just loved to play as.
Nahhhhhh Rey mysterio in svr 2008 was a different breed. His entrance with that helmet the theme the black white attire the movset was soo cool like I was 4 years old but he was Everything to me in that game.
You and I are the same age so watching this videos it’s such a trip lol. We woulda been homies growing up for sure 😂
Bringing back some deep memories watching this
Shawn Michaels and Attitude Era Kane came in clutch for me in WWE 13
same, i loved using Shawn in 13
Wade Barrett super fun in 2K24 imo
any reason?
@@KRTHK9 punch combos feel good and the bull hammer hits different
The last WWE game I ever played was probably SvR 2009, so I didn’t experience most of these but I can definitely tell you that Ultimo Dragon (HCtP), Brock Lesnar (HCtP), Fred Durst (Just Bring It), Chris Benoit (any game he was in), Ken Shamrock (Smackdown 2000), Stacy Keibler (HCtP), and Thug Life John Cena (HCtP) were always my go-to characters.
Honorable Mention: Eugene (SvR2006)
As you can see…I’m old and came up during the Attitude & Ruthless Aggression Eras and stopped watching around the time of the Benoit Tragedy, so my interest was limited maotly to the games until I started seeing more new faces I didn’t recognize and subsequently stopped playing those too. Given the “rise” of AEW…which I found to be “low rent WCW” w/ mostly indie wrestlers from the couple episodes I watched and the news of them losing major stars (due to Tony Khan’s ego & inability to deal with wrestlers)… how Triple H is (from what I’ve heard) actually bringing the WWE back to the prominence it once had and possibly even better than ever…I may just start binging all the games from 2010 to now!
If there’s anything I need to know, let me know bc I’m all ears!
Love that you threw that need for speed clip
This video reminded me why i love wrestling games
I remember for whatever reason when I was like 6, I would use Goldust on Ps2 and I would go full Perc Angle mode. I think his entrance music was probably why I used him. Such a cool song.
Mankind,Cactus Jack,Dudelove their all my guy
Where is SVR07? 8:27
He probably didn't have a favorite character in that game
Two underrated character's in the recent games imo are Cameron Grimes and Nathan Frazer. They both got amazing move sets and Nathan's theme in 2k23 is probably one of the best.
Great Vid, man
Morrison from 22 and Iyo Sky from 24 are my favorites to use.
Excellent video!
R-Truth in SVR 10. Underrated move set & one of the best entrances in the game
Cena, Roman, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, etc. I have several characters that I main on any WWE video game.
3:27 This was also my fav character in that game bro, I remember trying so many times to beat Rey Mysterio as him and I couldn't do it. I didn't understand how to properly game
YURRRRRR WE READY TO FEAST WITH THIS NEW PAV VIDEO
Alberto Del Rio in WWE2K15, just to piss everyone off 😂
Im so glad RVD and Eugene were named for SVR 06 they were always my tag champs oddly enough but they always had a great tag finisher combo, first get a finisher for both and as Eugene tag in RVD they had just a basic double team move like a double back drop or arm toss but then CPU Eugene would hit his peoples elbow which then sets you up as RVD to hit the 5 star. Such good memories
Love ur vids bro keep em coming
For me, svr10 was the game. We'd play with friends all night, and my guy was Rey Mysterio because he could roll. When my friends thought they'd hit a move, I'd just roll outta their way to drive them crazy lol. Good times. Rey was quite fast and had a great move-set as well.
"why did you skip most games?" "Where's this game? Where's that game?" "Dur." "Duh." "Dur." Bruh you can't expect him to have played every single game.
"My sole kind friend at the time"
Awe much love pavo
I remember I once decided to play as Justin Gabriel in wwe 12 and was surprised how smooth gameplay felt and also R Truth was fun to play in that game too
Got my subway for this banger
Hollywood Rock in Here comes the pain 🔥
