You prolly didn't know this as your not in America, but Aaron Hernandez won't be "spending" the rest of his life in prison, he "spent" the rest of his life in prison. Committed suicide in 2017...
(Dis)honourable mention: Jimmy Snuka. A wrestler who killed Nancy Argentino who last appeared in WWE SuperCard, and hasn't appeared in a game since the trial over her murder, even after he died.
Jimmy Snuka was never charged with the crime, and by the time he stood trial decades later, he had dementia, so we'll never know if he actually did it or not.
If this would warrant a spot in this video, so would Hulk Hogan missing WWE 2K16 to 2K19 (and having his 2K15 DLC being removed from the stores much earlier than usual).
The OG sports star removed from games would be Mike Tyson. Part of it was the license deal ended but his arrests and such made it a no brainer for Nintendo to replace him in Punch Out! carts made after 1989.
Yeah, Hernandez took his life. I realize Benoit also took his life. It was pretty huge. Also there was a lawsuit about the players in the NCAA game if I recall correctly. It’s a controversial/sports debate thing.
@@AmoralTom he said he had to avoid going too much into detail on certain topics to stay within TH-cam rules. I'm guessing that since Hernandez took his own life in prison after he was sentenced and removed from Madden, it wasn't really relevant to the video's topic and not worth going into detail and possibly have to dance around TH-cam rules.
@@AmoralTom Yeah, I'm not saying it won't. I'm saying American football and players are of virtually no interest outside the U.S. that's why Larry didn't know nor do most outside the U.S. about this Hernandez.
College & Pro Gridiron Football are the most popular sport in the States, I believe. You'll see merch for College Football in every Walmart in the Southern US, especially. The NCAA is probably to thank for that.
one thing i like about College Sports is that the kids are actually TRYING...the problem with "professional" sports is that its The Destination, so a lot of the guys that 'made it' get Lazy...why do they have to keep giving 110% if theyve already got a Guaranteed Contract for the next decade? ...whereas in the College level, when theyre still trying to make it TO that Destination, thats where you seem them impressing the scouts...
To answer Guru Larry's question about whether Vince would patch out a wrestler from the game and get people mad, yes he would and did. 2K22 was going to include a wrestler who was part of a tag team in a DLC pack but when the wrestler's ex posted pics of him doing WW2 Axis forces stuff they removed him from the pack, and many fans were upset because they released the pack with missing content and giving nothing in return
There's still ongoing controversy about WWE letting that guy go. Pro wrestling had a huge cleansing of a lot of weirdos a few years ago, so his ex knew she was throwing him to the wolves in the locker room and to the people taking a glance at this story online. There are a lot of high profile wrestlers who would likely prefer not to be pulled down into the muck going out on a limb to defend Nash Carter/Zachery Wentz, and to this day the only evidence WWE had to let him go was a dumb joke photo he took midway through a shave when his moustache looked a bit like a certain dictator's. I don't know the truth of the matter, but WWE brought back/kept on Velveteen Dream, Matt Riddle and Jordan Devlin even with ongoing allegations, and in the case of the former, that came back to really bite them on the ass.
@@TheAweman49 WWE brought him back in late 2020 after the initial wave of accusations against him, saying "We've done our own investigation and found nothing". They then fired him in early 2021 because the accusations didn't stop and the audience were actively calling for his firing. And in the years since even more kept coming out. At one point he was seen as a wunderkind, but now he couldn't get a job in the lowest of indy federations.
That was from a DLC pack that hadn't yet been released at the moment, though, yes? And I know there have been other instances of wrestlers being removed pre-release. I'm pretty sure Hulk Hogan was pulled from the then upcoming 2K game when his racist comments came out. But what about patching a wrestler out of the base game, post-launch?
@@Larry when you are planning a video do come up with the title first then fill the video … how do you remember all these facts, I realise you have some help but still. Genuinely impressive team effort or not
SvR 2008 actually wasn't delayed unless they intended to release it earlier than usual. They did, however, remove all references to Benoit and even eliminated moves he was associate with (diving headbutt, crossface)
With Just Dance being in the Olympics now, you could have covered the Kris Wu stuff in this one or a similar episode. In Just Dance China, there was 2 routines for songs by Kris Wu. Until some stuff happened that are on similar levels to some of these entries. Then, due to China's strictness, two of the routines was completely removed and the other had a completely new song made to replace the song but keep the same routine.
An interesting ban was Luis Suarez in Fifa 15. He got a 4 month ban after biting an Italy player at the 2014 World Cup (his third biting incident in his career). Suarez wasn’t on Fifa 15 (and Ultimate Team) when it originally released and was only added back once his ban ended.
Aaron Hernandez died in prison like 2017 but that case was kind of sad to see. A dude who had it all playing with the best team at the time just waste it all away
Man, I remember Chris Benoit being one of my favorite wrestlers as a kid. Knowing that he killed his wife and son and then committed suicide was shocking back then.
How harshly they tried to erase him from history has always made me suspect they knew he was on the brink of blowing up, didn't give him time to heal his head trauma and substance abuse issues, and didn't want the authorities looking into it.
doubly so since it was released he had so much brain damage it was quite likely he wasn't even there when it happened. makes me think the wwf trying to erase his existence was partially due to them not facing consequences for his brain damage.
Also, in later wwe games you could upload created wrestlers and for a while people kept getting their "zombie benoit" creations taken down for a while but people kept putting new ones up so they eventually just let it happen
That Chris Benoit thing was terrible. Overnight, people went from mourning his passing, to taking pleasure in it. The darkest day in the history of Wrestling. Still can hardly believe it's been 16 years.
@Vahan Nisanian The weird thing is, I remember seeing that tribute episode of Smackdown the week they found out Benoit died. Every wrestler did talking head interviews about how great of a man Benoit was, how he's "looking down on us from Heaven," and Eddy Guerrero even crying on camera. This was all of course before the police reports found out it was a murder/suicide. I don't normally approve of most things Vince and WWE does, but just deciding to retcon Chris Benoit out of literally all WWE history and pretend like he never existed was probably the best route they could've gone after that massively embarrassing tribute show.
Taking pleasure is a massive stretch. The whole situation was still terrible and mourned, no one was happy and gleeful of anything that night. The opinions of a man was changed, that's about it
@@MarvinPowell1 Eddie died 2 years before the Benoit stuff happened, he was being sincere about the man he knew in a interview much prior, a man he knew before the death of a best friend (Eddie and Chris were like brothers), head trauma, and steroid abuse took the worst toll on a person's psyche that it could Edit: and I'm not excusing any actions, just saying shit changes people and some can't handle it. Chris was one of the, for lack of a better term, weaker ones who couldn't
@@ShrexyGuy I still don't get why were there Holy Bibles at the crime scene. Benoit was not a religious man. That was what the police said they found when they were investigating what had happened.
I don't know. Having your entire career be scrubbed from the history of WWE, all while the company themselves taking extreme measures to prevent such a tragedy from happening again by banning moves and attacks that directly harm the head. Beniot was such a perfectionist to his craft, that taking his accolades away is the ultimate punishment.
You ever consider doing a 'sports game cover curse' video? There was the 'Madden curse' that existed for a few years, but also a few NHL cover athletes that needed to be changed because of off-ice issues. And that's just examples from the top of my head.
You ask whether a wrestler would be patched out of a WWE game if a Chris Benoit type situation happened today, which did happen when a tag team wrestler was removed from 2K22's DLC after the news came out that he abused his partner.
Hernandez appeared in NCAA 14 originally as a portrait which was rewarded for completing a objective in the Nike Skills Trainer. He was not a useable player. This reward was removed via an update and replaced with an item honoring Alex Smith. he was also removed from Madden NFL 25.
4: _FUN (but not-so-fun) FACT:_ I remembered watching that week's episode of Raw, where Vince enters a limousine and then it exploded at the end of the show. This was supposed to be some sort of storyline on who killed Vince, and then the next day I heard the news about Benoit. They swiftly scrapped it.
Another reason why NCAA Football 14 is so expensive is due to the recent College Football Revamped fan mod that consistently updates roster for each year as well as uniforms. Also NCAA Football is based around College Football which in some ways is bigger than pro football here in the states.
Another athlete removed from his game was Mike Tyson. No, not from THAT game. He was removed from Punch-Out because his contract had expired and he wasn't the champion anymore. The game he was removed from was what would become Power Punch II. Initially billed as "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out II", the playable boxer was Mike Tyson. After his arrest and subsequent conviction, he was replaced with a generic boxer named Mark Tyler. You can still see some elements of Tyson. For instance, his manager is a bald Don King, and the ghost of his trainer, Cus D'Amato, can be seen in the crowd in matches.
College sports games aren't weird at all - College football, baseball and basketball are incredibly popular in The US. They're practically a professional sport in themselves. I used to love playing NCAA Baseball, but unfortunately they're not allowed to make them anymore.
Thing is a lot of the players get paid penny's compared to what everyone else involved would get. They're basically taken advantage of by their college with no guarantees of making it past college football once they graduate.
@@MarvinPowell1 Not really, College is HUGE everywhere around the US, the games are broadcast on national TV just the same as the pro games and they get similar viewership. Every major city has huge college teams and events. Now sports in general ARE way, WAY more popular in the rural south though, and the popularity even goes as far as HIGH SCHOOL teams are treated about the same as college/pro! I live up north but I travel a LOT and one big shock for me was when visiting central Georgia it went as far as they literally shut down almost all the radio stations playing music and they tuned into the local high school games, like I'm talking people from all around driving in to watch, people having tailgate parties, shit you'd expect to see for a pro team they'd be doing for a high school match!
@@oraw1234W It depends on where you live. Minor League Baseball definitely steals some of NCAA Baseball's thunder, but there are parts of the country where NCAA Baseball is king.
Kind of strange the whole Aaron Hernandez NCAA 14 thing when they can't use the names of the college football players just positions and numbers, but I do see it was a whole thing about the game's card system so it makes a little more sense.
I know you don't have time to cover all of them but the one that always comes to my mind is the removal of Mike Tyson from (future versions of) Punch Out and even renaming the game.
That one's kinda weird because technically they did rename it because the VC version is the tyson version with a sprite swap, but the original release, the arcade games, the snes game, etc were always "Punch out/super punch out" and never had tyson, and they're older than the NES game. He also wasn't removed for the conviction either, the contract with nintendo expired so they had to remove his likeness to continue selling it. What's odd is that there's an older version of the NES release pre-tyson that has the arcade final boss and they decided to just sprite swap instead of using that version.
Nintendo removed Tyson due to their license for his likeness expiring and choosing not to renew it. The game Tyson was removed from (before it was ever released) was Mike Tyson's Intergalactic Power Punch. The company behind it removed Tyson and renamed the game to Power Punch II to confuse customers into thinking their terrible game was a sequel to Punch-Out.
@@KasumiKenshirou Dude, I said he was removed, right? And was he removed? Yes, he was. I didn't mention anything else. You are the literal definition of the "acktually" meme. Go touch some grass.
College sports are crazy popular in the US. Especially Football and Basketball. I think part of the reason is that Football season is pretty short and their are a fairly limited number of games being played(especially compared to say Baseball, Hockey or Soccer/real football). So really big fans supplement their professional watching with college games as well. Plus the biggest college players often times are the next big players in the NFL and people like to invest in watching a career At least that’s how I see it. I’m very much a “whatever it’s all sports ball” kinda guy so I find watching it religiously to be tedious.
Gambling is a large part of it. Not every big college sports fan is a degenerate gambler...but almost every degenerate gambler is a big college sports fan
A lot of it is because college sports in the US (outside of baseball) were the only quality team sports out there into the 1950s, and even once the pro leagues started getting a lot of public respect, they barely did anything in the Midwest and South (you basically have Atlanta, St. Louis, and Kansas City). American college football stadiums are some of the largest-capacity sports complexes in the world.
i think it also has more to do with higher identification with the town. i mean the professional sports teams in the usa are just "millionaires little toy" which can just move to another location on a whim. whereas the university sports game are more rooted and better represent the city you live in
The Benoit thing is understandable though. If I ran things. And something like that happen under my watch. I would scrub the person from all media. It’s a PR nightmare to include Benoit on anything, market it like it’s a good thing, and not expect news stations to run with it to the masses in a negative light.
@@Larry I remember when people got to vote on who would be on the cover of Madden one year there was controversy when Michael Vick was one of the choices in the poll and there was real concern that he might win. A couple episodes of the Nickelodeon animated series NFL Rush Zone were never re-aired due to their NFL guest stars Adrian Peterson and Ray Rice getting into trouble after they aired.
Nice to see that you appreciate the original Pro Evo Soccer/Winning Eleven Series. it was always infinitely better than the FIFA games. at some point EA started copying what Konami was doing, and their Fifa games improved somewhat, but to me Fifa games are still really clunky and slow. Hopefully someday Konami will be a good company again and bring back all their series in their full glory.
The college football thing isn't really strange when you see how absolutely insane the south and in general rural areas go for it. Also, coming from a part of america that absolutely LOVES soccer (seriously look up the portland timbers) it's still american football. No matter if you call soccer football or not, american football still has that name. lol. It's best not to question america. You'll be a mixture of confused, concerned, and probably end up with a headache.
To explain why NCAA Football 14 goes for so much on the second hand market, the game was the last in the NCAA Football series, and was very highly received by sports fans as one of EA’s last truly great football titles. In fact, people have gone as far as to release mods for the game that update jerseys, rosters, playbooks & much more!
NCAA Football is HUGE in the USA. And Hernandez never went to prison - he took his own life. It was a MASSIVE story here in the USA. And he was already playing for the New England Patriots for the NFL. There's also a massive controversy about NCAA college athletes and sports games, jerseys, and general merchandise because they aren't allowed to receive any of the money because they are college students.
He actually did go to prison. He ended up peacefully sunsetting himself and his autopsy revealed severe CTE. It wasn't until after his death that they found out he was actually innocent.
Regarding Chris Benoit; it should be noted that while he had been abusing steroids for years (though none were found in his system at the time of death) he had severe CTE from years of his finishing move, the diving headbutt, and WWE allowing chair shots to the head before Benoit's murder-suicide. The CTE was so severe that upon a posthumous examination of his brain for research into CTE a neurologist stated that despite being 40 at his time of death his brain was comparable to that of an 85-year old Alzheimer's patient. This is by no means meant as an excuse to what he did but it is an explanation or at the very least a contributing factor. Also, although the WWE did try to erase Benoit for years they did ease up on that rule and he is now acknowledged in a historical context and his matches are available on WWE network uncensored and they eventually added him back into the championship record books.
4:35 Patching them out of the game is the exact thing they did. Nash Carter aka Zachary Wentz was planned to be DLC in WWE 2K22, but was cut after his upset and jealous ex-wife posted an image of him doing a Nazi salute with a sharpied on Hitler mustache from 5 years before, causing people to falsely accuse him of anti-semitism, leading to his removal and release from the company. There's also a bit of hypocrisy about his firing and removal from the game, as JBL had done the pose decades before in a Germany house show, where it's illegal to do so, yet he's still in the game, and set to be in the one coming out later this week. On a side note, I was actually playing WWE SmackDown Vs RAW 2008 before watching this, and I had made a created wrestler of Chris Benoit. Great timing Larry.
NCAA college football is massive in tbe States. Comparing it to U-21 football in the UK or elsewhere is disingenuous. One of the several college football leagues called the Big Ten will be receiving over a billion dollars a year in TV rights alone starting this fall. The top 100 college football teams have an average attendance of 40,000 per game.
i m surprised u didn t mention oliver kahn who sued EA to get his image removed from the cover of Fifa 2002. as a consequence of Kahn not being happy about being portraited, several games actually "removed him" by replacing him with a goalkeeper with appropriate stats to him, but with different name and appearance.
4:37 Well, the WWE did try to remove characters from WWE 2K24 - no playable Brock Lesnar or Vince McMahon in the normal play mode although they are still both featured prominently in the WrestleMania showcase mode. It was too late for them to be completely omited.
Not having El Bicho in the cover art for the Fifa games is a blessing in disguise, who wants to be associated with such awful gambling machines, I mean, games.
"Found innocent" isn't a thing. If the charges were dropped, regardless of the reason, then he's currently not guilty of any crime legally, personal opinions aside. I love that all it takes for men to disappear is an accusation, but if a woman gets accused, they receive nothing but support and continue to find work mostly unimpeded. Just ask Amber.
In the WWE game that came out towards the end of 2005, there was a storyline involving Eddie Guerrero and The Undertaker, that ended with Eddie being slammed into a coffin and the lid being closed. Eddie died not long after the game came out in real life. The next installment of the game had Undertaker feuding with Chris Benoit in a storyline, with Undertaker naturally implying he was going to murder Chris Benoit in his typical, gloomy prose. Chris Benoit would go on to do what he did. I don't know who Undertaker had storylines with in the following games, but I'm pretty sure there weren't any repeats of these situations. Honestly, the Eddie one was tragic to me. I got hold of the game after he had passed, and was flabbergasted at that storyline.
A dishonorable mention to Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs getting removed from Madden '22 for drunkenly crashing into someone at 120 mph (190 km/h) causing a 23 year old woman and her dog to burn to death in the wreckage, leaving him potentially facing a maximum of 26 years in jail.
So, Larry. They had to do it again with Nash Carter. He was removed from the DLC because of "friendly german soldier" imagery and allegations of abuse.
Im surprised that OJ Simpson wasn’t removed in All Pro Football 2K8, he made a cameo in that game before he was arrested for armed robbery! Once the game came out the Goldman family sued the game since OJ Simpson’s appearance required OJ to pay half his royalties to the victim’s family in the civil suit!
OJ wasn't removed, but he was moved between teams. At first he was supposed to be on the New Jersey Assassins, and when a screenshot of him doing the throat slit gesture went viral, they moved him to the Orlando Cyclones.
@@supersasukemaniac I know, but they should’ve completely removed OJ Simpson from the game, since he’s already a criminal, he’s was found guilty of the murder charges in the civil case. They even had to halt from selling the game anymore.
I have a Nascar game worth ~$90, Nascar Racing 2003 season, basically because of the same reason as NCAA '14: has a community here on TH-cam and a bunch of mods.
thought you would mention Jacques Villeneuve, but he just asked to be cut of F-1 World Grand Prix due to copyright issues, but since he didn't had any offense (only if you consider him a jerk), it caused the game to have the world champion driver out just because
@@GAMEPRODELTA They shuffled Balrog, Vega, and M. Bison's names around (M. Bison was the boxer in the Japanese version), but that was to avoid any likeness trademark issues, rather than to Tyson's arrest (the arcade released 6 months before that happened). And Punch-Out!! dropped Mike Tyson in 1989 for the 1990 rerelease because of the license expiring (because that was a year before his arrest).
3:03 Ugh, I knew there'd be a joke along those lines. 8:15 Heh, I knew Larry wouldn't miss the opportunity to reference the c word. 9:21 Janey mack, it's Bohemians.
To put some perspective on how big university-level gridiron is in the United States: Etihad Stadium, home ground of last year’s Premier League champion Manchester City, has a capacity of 53,000. Michigan Stadium, the football stadium for the University of Michigan Wolverines, has twice the capacity of Etihad at almost 110,000.
They haven't been made since 2013 due to the NCAA losing a lawsuit involving name image and likeness of the players which caused the schools to pull their licenses from ea making the game to expensive to make.after a supreme court ruling which rule student athletes can make money of their likeness ea has said their rebooting the series
It should be noted, because WWE likes to act as if this wasn't the case, but Benoit had YEARS of constant head injuries due to his performances in the ring. His brains towards the end was more or less beyond repair and was pretty much the reason why he did what he did. And when you think about it, had Hulk Hogan never snitched to Vince about the wrestlers wanting to make a union many years prior, the Benoit tragedy could have been prevented because he would have had a better chance of getting help.
i know you're gonna read this, so let me just say i never saw a guru larry video i didn't like, and I've watched all your videos from the last 10 years or so. I hope this year goes really well for you!
Thanks Rebecca :) Super bad so far this year, but I think I need to mix things up and try (similar but) new content. But thank you ever so much for the kind words. I really appreaciate it!
Not quite the same thing, but during Barry Bonds’ career in Major League Baseball, he didn’t allow MVP Baseball 2005 to use his likeness in their game. Which is pretty ironic considering he had won the last 4 MVPs in a row. He was replaced with Jon Dowd, a made up player with the same stats who batted right handed instead of left handed
I appreciate that there was a mix here of probably-guilty and getting punished, probably-guilty and not getting punished, and probably-innocent and getting punished. Just so we're aware it's ... all over the place.
There was a lot of controversy around the NCAA games because EA and the NCAA were profiting off the likenesses of players who legally couldn't even get a free doughnut or sell an autograph (college players were required to be 100% amateurs outside of university scholarships, and there's a TON of scandals around boosters giving kids and their families houses, cash, and prostitutes to get them to play at their school). That changed recently now that the NCAA is allowing players to make money off of their likenesses, but yeah, the NCAA is mega sketchy.
The funniest thing about Chris Benoit is that i never watched wrestling but i was dating this girl in high school and she had a RIP Benoit on her myspace. Years later i found out who he was after watching that youtube video that made fun of him and had his son not tapping out. It was the video thst called him weapon x

With Just Dance being in the Olympics now, you could have covered the Kris Wu stuff in this one or a similar episode.
In Just Dance China, there was 2 routines for songs by Kris Wu. Until some stuff happened that are on similar levels to some of these entries.

Poor baby jock.
Man, I remember Chris Benoit being one of my favorite wrestlers as a kid. Knowing that he killed his wife and son and then committed suicide was shocking back then.
Same here
How harshly they tried to erase him from history has always made me suspect they knew he was on the brink of blowing up, didn't give him time to heal his head trauma and substance abuse issues, and didn't want the authorities looking into it.
@@Stroggoii yeah
doubly so since it was released he had so much brain damage it was quite likely he wasn't even there when it happened. makes me think the wwf trying to erase his existence was partially due to them not facing consequences for his brain damage.
@@professorpenne9962 possibly also the death of Eddie didn't help either
Also, in later wwe games you could upload created wrestlers and for a while people kept getting their "zombie benoit" creations taken down for a while but people kept putting new ones up so they eventually just let it happen
Awesome
😂😂😂😂😂 Now that's funny as hell! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
That Chris Benoit thing was terrible. Overnight, people went from mourning his passing, to taking pleasure in it.
The darkest day in the history of Wrestling. Still can hardly believe it's been 16 years.
fortunately they have started letting him be shown in matches again.
@Vahan Nisanian
The weird thing is, I remember seeing that tribute episode of Smackdown the week they found out Benoit died. Every wrestler did talking head interviews about how great of a man Benoit was, how he's "looking down on us from Heaven," and Eddy Guerrero even crying on camera. This was all of course before the police reports found out it was a murder/suicide. I don't normally approve of most things Vince and WWE does, but just deciding to retcon Chris Benoit out of literally all WWE history and pretend like he never existed was probably the best route they could've gone after that massively embarrassing tribute show.
Taking pleasure is a massive stretch. The whole situation was still terrible and mourned, no one was happy and gleeful of anything that night. The opinions of a man was changed, that's about it
@@MarvinPowell1 Eddie died 2 years before the Benoit stuff happened, he was being sincere about the man he knew in a interview much prior, a man he knew before the death of a best friend (Eddie and Chris were like brothers), head trauma, and steroid abuse took the worst toll on a person's psyche that it could
Edit: and I'm not excusing any actions, just saying shit changes people and some can't handle it. Chris was one of the, for lack of a better term, weaker ones who couldn't
@@ShrexyGuy I still don't get why were there Holy Bibles at the crime scene. Benoit was not a religious man. That was what the police said they found when they were investigating what had happened.
Always a treat when a new Fact Hunt drops. Yeah, the Benoit tragedy was a rough one and it's a real shame he never faced actual justice for it.
I don't know. Having your entire career be scrubbed from the history of WWE, all while the company themselves taking extreme measures to prevent such a tragedy from happening again by banning moves and attacks that directly harm the head.
Beniot was such a perfectionist to his craft, that taking his accolades away is the ultimate punishment.
Hard to prosecute someone beyond the grave.
His brain was utter mush. We're talking Biden levels of brain damage here.
He had the brain of an 80 year old with alzheimers, I doubt he he even knew what he was doing.
@@vDeadbolt True, but it is a shame the law couldn't do anything to him.
You ever consider doing a 'sports game cover curse' video? There was the 'Madden curse' that existed for a few years, but also a few NHL cover athletes that needed to be changed because of off-ice issues. And that's just examples from the top of my head.
Man, I'm not one to usually play sports games (let alone an EA one), but it's crazy to hear stories of the removed
Stories like these are far more interesting to me than the games themselves! Though honestly, that's not a high bar to clear.
I like stories like these.. I want to know the backstory on why they were removed..
Benoit and Snuka are never gonna be seen in a WWE Game again.
Snuka is so banned, Tamina had to remove the Snuka part of her name.
@@Ulqui_210 yep.
It's funny cause they all knew about snuka. But they didn't care to do or say anything till long after his star had fallen
Yeah no shit
Snuka will be back
You've inspired me, Larry. I've now caught myself telling bad jokes and responding with "I'll get my coat. "
lol, you are indeed most welcome!
@@Larry He’s not the only one XD
The timing of this video with what's going on in the UK's football is fantastic
It couldn’t of worked out better!
You ask whether a wrestler would be patched out of a WWE game if a Chris Benoit type situation happened today, which did happen when a tag team wrestler was removed from 2K22's DLC after the news came out that he abused his partner.
No one watches wwekids anymore.
Hernandez appeared in NCAA 14 originally as a portrait which was rewarded for completing a objective in the Nike Skills Trainer. He was not a useable player. This reward was removed via an update and replaced with an item honoring Alex Smith. he was also removed from Madden NFL 25.
4: _FUN (but not-so-fun) FACT:_ I remembered watching that week's episode of Raw, where Vince enters a limousine and then it exploded at the end of the show. This was supposed to be some sort of storyline on who killed Vince, and then the next day I heard the news about Benoit. They swiftly scrapped it.
always love those fact hunt episodes. always something weird to find out
Thank you, if you ever feel like passing them around, I could really do with the viewers :)
@@Larry i will pass them around. you deserve the views for sure.
The double take i did when i heard "going to spend the rest of his life in prison" almost snapped my neck.
Another reason why NCAA Football 14 is so expensive is due to the recent College Football Revamped fan mod that consistently updates roster for each year as well as uniforms. Also NCAA Football is based around College Football which in some ways is bigger than pro football here in the states.
Another athlete removed from his game was Mike Tyson.
No, not from THAT game. He was removed from Punch-Out because his contract had expired and he wasn't the champion anymore. The game he was removed from was what would become Power Punch II. Initially billed as "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out II", the playable boxer was Mike Tyson. After his arrest and subsequent conviction, he was replaced with a generic boxer named Mark Tyler. You can still see some elements of Tyson. For instance, his manager is a bald Don King, and the ghost of his trainer, Cus D'Amato, can be seen in the crowd in matches.
This episode had to have been incredibly easy to come up with the alliterations in the opening
Finally, a Fact Hunt that actually features a Hunt.
College sports games aren't weird at all - College football, baseball and basketball are incredibly popular in The US. They're practically a professional sport in themselves.
I used to love playing NCAA Baseball, but unfortunately they're not allowed to make them anymore.
College football, baseball and basketball are incredibly popular in the _*southern, rural part of the US._
Not in most of the country.
not so much for college baseball it is no were near as popular as college football and basketball.
Thing is a lot of the players get paid penny's compared to what everyone else involved would get. They're basically taken advantage of by their college with no guarantees of making it past college football once they graduate.
@@MarvinPowell1 Not really, College is HUGE everywhere around the US, the games are broadcast on national TV just the same as the pro games and they get similar viewership. Every major city has huge college teams and events. Now sports in general ARE way, WAY more popular in the rural south though, and the popularity even goes as far as HIGH SCHOOL teams are treated about the same as college/pro! I live up north but I travel a LOT and one big shock for me was when visiting central Georgia it went as far as they literally shut down almost all the radio stations playing music and they tuned into the local high school games, like I'm talking people from all around driving in to watch, people having tailgate parties, shit you'd expect to see for a pro team they'd be doing for a high school match!
@@oraw1234W It depends on where you live. Minor League Baseball definitely steals some of NCAA Baseball's thunder, but there are parts of the country where NCAA Baseball is king.
I really like how you take a subject that I don’t really care about and turn it into a fun and informative video! Thanks once again!
Thank you, yeah, I'm no lover of sports, but the "behind the scenes" stuff is always fascinating to me :)
Kind of strange the whole Aaron Hernandez NCAA 14 thing when they can't use the names of the college football players just positions and numbers, but I do see it was a whole thing about the game's card system so it makes a little more sense.
by that point Hernandez was in the NFL, All the then- current NFL players where avalible on Ultimate Team in their college form.
I know you don't have time to cover all of them but the one that always comes to my mind is the removal of Mike Tyson from (future versions of) Punch Out and even renaming the game.
That one's kinda weird because technically they did rename it because the VC version is the tyson version with a sprite swap, but the original release, the arcade games, the snes game, etc were always "Punch out/super punch out" and never had tyson, and they're older than the NES game. He also wasn't removed for the conviction either, the contract with nintendo expired so they had to remove his likeness to continue selling it. What's odd is that there's an older version of the NES release pre-tyson that has the arcade final boss and they decided to just sprite swap instead of using that version.
Nintendo removed Tyson due to their license for his likeness expiring and choosing not to renew it. The game Tyson was removed from (before it was ever released) was Mike Tyson's Intergalactic Power Punch. The company behind it removed Tyson and renamed the game to Power Punch II to confuse customers into thinking their terrible game was a sequel to Punch-Out.
@@KasumiKenshirou Dude, I said he was removed, right? And was he removed?
Yes, he was.
I didn't mention anything else. You are the literal definition of the "acktually" meme. Go touch some grass.
I can’t believe you got me with the Ronaldhino Soccer!
:P
With some of the games, or at least how they were handled, you can say that somebody....dropped the ball!
College sports are crazy popular in the US. Especially Football and Basketball. I think part of the reason is that Football season is pretty short and their are a fairly limited number of games being played(especially compared to say Baseball, Hockey or Soccer/real football). So really big fans supplement their professional watching with college games as well. Plus the biggest college players often times are the next big players in the NFL and people like to invest in watching a career
At least that’s how I see it. I’m very much a “whatever it’s all sports ball” kinda guy so I find watching it religiously to be tedious.
Gambling is a large part of it. Not every big college sports fan is a degenerate gambler...but almost every degenerate gambler is a big college sports fan
A lot of it is because college sports in the US (outside of baseball) were the only quality team sports out there into the 1950s, and even once the pro leagues started getting a lot of public respect, they barely did anything in the Midwest and South (you basically have Atlanta, St. Louis, and Kansas City). American college football stadiums are some of the largest-capacity sports complexes in the world.
i think it also has more to do with higher identification with the town.
i mean the professional sports teams in the usa are just "millionaires little toy" which can just move to another location on a whim. whereas the university sports game are more rooted and better represent the city you live in
The Benoit thing is understandable though. If I ran things. And something like that happen under my watch. I would scrub the person from all media. It’s a PR nightmare to include Benoit on anything, market it like it’s a good thing, and not expect news stations to run with it to the masses in a negative light.
Yeah like people criticize WWE for that but no other sport would want to acknowledge something who killed thier own kid and wife.
If he had done it two months later, it would be too late to remove him, as it would have hit the market.
Great Video Larry, I didn't know a single fact on the list, despite being a pretty big Sports Game fan myself!
Ah wow, thank you"
@@Larry I remember when people got to vote on who would be on the cover of Madden one year there was controversy when Michael Vick was one of the choices in the poll and there was real concern that he might win.
A couple episodes of the Nickelodeon animated series NFL Rush Zone were never re-aired due to their NFL guest stars Adrian Peterson and Ray Rice getting into trouble after they aired.
Nice to see that you appreciate the original Pro Evo Soccer/Winning Eleven Series. it was always infinitely better than the FIFA games. at some point EA started copying what Konami was doing, and their Fifa games improved somewhat, but to me Fifa games are still really clunky and slow.
Hopefully someday Konami will be a good company again and bring back all their series in their full glory.
Agree completely,
Pro evo was king until 2020 then Konami happens.
The college football thing isn't really strange when you see how absolutely insane the south and in general rural areas go for it. Also, coming from a part of america that absolutely LOVES soccer (seriously look up the portland timbers) it's still american football. No matter if you call soccer football or not, american football still has that name. lol. It's best not to question america. You'll be a mixture of confused, concerned, and probably end up with a headache.
The fact you can’t say certain words or things without your video being put in danger just shows how bad TH-cam is nowadays
It’s a great day when Larry uploads. I have this week off work too. Yay!
To explain why NCAA Football 14 goes for so much on the second hand market, the game was the last in the NCAA Football series, and was very highly received by sports fans as one of EA’s last truly great football titles. In fact, people have gone as far as to release mods for the game that update jerseys, rosters, playbooks & much more!
There was some sort of player payment thing that stopped EA from making any more or something, wasn't there?
@@Larry Yea, basically.
All new fact hunt! It's always a great day when Larry uploads.
NCAA Football is HUGE in the USA. And Hernandez never went to prison - he took his own life. It was a MASSIVE story here in the USA. And he was already playing for the New England Patriots for the NFL. There's also a massive controversy about NCAA college athletes and sports games, jerseys, and general merchandise because they aren't allowed to receive any of the money because they are college students.
...and sometimes they receive money anyway. 😶
He actually did go to prison. He ended up peacefully sunsetting himself and his autopsy revealed severe CTE. It wasn't until after his death that they found out he was actually innocent.
He used to be a tight end, now he’s a wide receiver
Badum - tisch :D
That’s actually even better than the original joke! Well done!
Regarding Chris Benoit; it should be noted that while he had been abusing steroids for years (though none were found in his system at the time of death) he had severe CTE from years of his finishing move, the diving headbutt, and WWE allowing chair shots to the head before Benoit's murder-suicide. The CTE was so severe that upon a posthumous examination of his brain for research into CTE a neurologist stated that despite being 40 at his time of death his brain was comparable to that of an 85-year old Alzheimer's patient.
This is by no means meant as an excuse to what he did but it is an explanation or at the very least a contributing factor.
Also, although the WWE did try to erase Benoit for years they did ease up on that rule and he is now acknowledged in a historical context and his matches are available on WWE network uncensored and they eventually added him back into the championship record books.
4:35 Patching them out of the game is the exact thing they did. Nash Carter aka Zachary Wentz was planned to be DLC in WWE 2K22, but was cut after his upset and jealous ex-wife posted an image of him doing a Nazi salute with a sharpied on Hitler mustache from 5 years before, causing people to falsely accuse him of anti-semitism, leading to his removal and release from the company. There's also a bit of hypocrisy about his firing and removal from the game, as JBL had done the pose decades before in a Germany house show, where it's illegal to do so, yet he's still in the game, and set to be in the one coming out later this week.
On a side note, I was actually playing WWE SmackDown Vs RAW 2008 before watching this, and I had made a created wrestler of Chris Benoit. Great timing Larry.
it wasn't a false accusation, the dude was doing racist shit.
@jacksonteller3973 Oh no, those poor Nazis are being mocked! Best shoot the monkeys and jail the dog!
Excellent episode. I care not for sports and yet you and the delicious foodstuff kept me captivated throughout.
Thank you, yeah, I'm no lover of sports either, but the "behind the scenes" stuff is always fascinating to me :)
Thank you for the subtitles, they're much appreciated.
thank you :), i tink they work better than the mess yt auto generates,
NCAA college football is massive in tbe States. Comparing it to U-21 football in the UK or elsewhere is disingenuous. One of the several college football leagues called the Big Ten will be receiving over a billion dollars a year in TV rights alone starting this fall. The top 100 college football teams have an average attendance of 40,000 per game.
3:57 Luther Reigns!? Man, that would have been his only game!
Well Larry, Hernandez certainly did indeed spend the rest of his life in prison but it wasn’t a long life
i m surprised u didn t mention oliver kahn who sued EA to get his image removed from the cover of Fifa 2002.
as a consequence of Kahn not being happy about being portraited, several games actually "removed him" by replacing him with a goalkeeper with appropriate stats to him, but with different name and appearance.
4:37 Well, the WWE did try to remove characters from WWE 2K24 - no playable Brock Lesnar or Vince McMahon in the normal play mode although they are still both featured prominently in the WrestleMania showcase mode.
It was too late for them to be completely omited.
*_Guru Larry rules all!_*
Larry, when you say "hello you" I always smile!!!
aww, bless you.
Not having El Bicho in the cover art for the Fifa games is a blessing in disguise, who wants to be associated with such awful gambling machines, I mean, games.
6:23 This could be called as "non-consensual body interaction."
"Found innocent" isn't a thing. If the charges were dropped, regardless of the reason, then he's currently not guilty of any crime legally, personal opinions aside. I love that all it takes for men to disappear is an accusation, but if a woman gets accused, they receive nothing but support and continue to find work mostly unimpeded. Just ask Amber.
Hi! Thanks for the captions. I really appreciate it.
In the WWE game that came out towards the end of 2005, there was a storyline involving Eddie Guerrero and The Undertaker, that ended with Eddie being slammed into a coffin and the lid being closed. Eddie died not long after the game came out in real life. The next installment of the game had Undertaker feuding with Chris Benoit in a storyline, with Undertaker naturally implying he was going to murder Chris Benoit in his typical, gloomy prose. Chris Benoit would go on to do what he did.
I don't know who Undertaker had storylines with in the following games, but I'm pretty sure there weren't any repeats of these situations. Honestly, the Eddie one was tragic to me. I got hold of the game after he had passed, and was flabbergasted at that storyline.
Wow, some real bad timing! O.o
A dishonorable mention to Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs getting removed from Madden '22 for drunkenly crashing into someone at 120 mph (190 km/h) causing a 23 year old woman and her dog to burn to death in the wreckage, leaving him potentially facing a maximum of 26 years in jail.
So, Larry.
They had to do it again with Nash Carter. He was removed from the DLC because of "friendly german soldier" imagery and allegations of abuse.
Im surprised that OJ Simpson wasn’t removed in All Pro Football 2K8, he made a cameo in that game before he was arrested for armed robbery! Once the game came out the Goldman family sued the game since OJ Simpson’s appearance required OJ to pay half his royalties to the victim’s family in the civil suit!
OJ wasn't removed, but he was moved between teams. At first he was supposed to be on the New Jersey Assassins, and when a screenshot of him doing the throat slit gesture went viral, they moved him to the Orlando Cyclones.
@@supersasukemaniac I know, but they should’ve completely removed OJ Simpson from the game, since he’s already a criminal, he’s was found guilty of the murder charges in the civil case. They even had to halt from selling the game anymore.
I can't believe I've been watching this series for years and had no idea Fact Hunt was a wordplay joke....
I have a Nascar game worth ~$90, Nascar Racing 2003 season, basically because of the same reason as NCAA '14: has a community here on TH-cam and a bunch of mods.
And they don't make NCAA games
thought you would mention Jacques Villeneuve, but he just asked to be cut of F-1 World Grand Prix due to copyright issues, but since he didn't had any offense (only if you consider him a jerk), it caused the game to have the world champion driver out just because
I remember this. So weird
We can't forget the earliest removal of a sports star from a video game: Mike Tyson.
That "almost" went on, but he was removed because the license had expired long before he was arrested.
@@Larry did lead to Capcom renaming three of the final bosses from street fighter 2 just to avoid the game being yanked from arcades though.
@@GAMEPRODELTA They shuffled Balrog, Vega, and M. Bison's names around (M. Bison was the boxer in the Japanese version), but that was to avoid any likeness trademark issues, rather than to Tyson's arrest (the arcade released 6 months before that happened).
And Punch-Out!! dropped Mike Tyson in 1989 for the 1990 rerelease because of the license expiring (because that was a year before his arrest).
Did you remove the "tight end" bit because of Hernandez's self game-ending?
getting loads of negative comments about it :(
@@Larry understandable
Thank you Larry! Great Job!
No worries matey, any time!!!
@@Larry I’m so fanboying!

To put some perspective on how big university-level gridiron is in the United States: Etihad Stadium, home ground of last year’s Premier League champion Manchester City, has a capacity of 53,000. Michigan Stadium, the football stadium for the University of Michigan Wolverines, has twice the capacity of Etihad at almost 110,000.
The Madden SNES song brought some hidden memories. Thanks sir.
Ditto for Mega Drive FIFA menu music :)
When you have Chris Benoit, you know it's a good video.
I didn’t know that NCAA Football games were a thing. Also I don’t follow sports games so most of this was new to me.
They haven't been made since 2013 due to the NCAA losing a lawsuit involving name image and likeness of the players which caused the schools to pull their licenses from ea making the game to expensive to make.after a supreme court ruling which rule student athletes can make money of their likeness ea has said their rebooting the series
Coziest channel on TH-cam
LLLLAAAAARRRRRYYYY!!! it's a great day for Jr
College sports are huge here, even more so in states that don't have pro teams in any sport.
I was going to be disappointed if chris benoit wasn't front and center on the thumbnail but here he is lol
Yet another informative and witty episode of fact hunt! Bravo, Larry!
I think I need a shower.
It should be noted, because WWE likes to act as if this wasn't the case, but Benoit had YEARS of constant head injuries due to his performances in the ring. His brains towards the end was more or less beyond repair and was pretty much the reason why he did what he did. And when you think about it, had Hulk Hogan never snitched to Vince about the wrestlers wanting to make a union many years prior, the Benoit tragedy could have been prevented because he would have had a better chance of getting help.
i know you're gonna read this, so let me just say i never saw a guru larry video i didn't like, and I've watched all your videos from the last 10 years or so. I hope this year goes really well for you!
Thanks Rebecca :) Super bad so far this year, but I think I need to mix things up and try (similar but) new content.
But thank you ever so much for the kind words. I really appreaciate it!
@@Larry that sounds exciting, i hope it works out!
I can’t fucking believe I got Ronaldinho’d
Not quite the same thing, but during Barry Bonds’ career in Major League Baseball, he didn’t allow MVP Baseball 2005 to use his likeness in their game. Which is pretty ironic considering he had won the last 4 MVPs in a row. He was replaced with Jon Dowd, a made up player with the same stats who batted right handed instead of left handed
I appreciate that there was a mix here of probably-guilty and getting punished, probably-guilty and not getting punished, and probably-innocent and getting punished. Just so we're aware it's ... all over the place.
I remember this Plug & Play WWF game that removed Hulk Hogan and another wrestler but replaced them with just as bad ones
I did a video on that a while ago funnily enough!
Love the videos, and really appreciate subtitles! ❤️❤️
Glad you like them! Do you have the english ones?
@@Larry yes 😊
There was a lot of controversy around the NCAA games because EA and the NCAA were profiting off the likenesses of players who legally couldn't even get a free doughnut or sell an autograph (college players were required to be 100% amateurs outside of university scholarships, and there's a TON of scandals around boosters giving kids and their families houses, cash, and prostitutes to get them to play at their school). That changed recently now that the NCAA is allowing players to make money off of their likenesses, but yeah, the NCAA is mega sketchy.
Interesting timing on a video about sports starts getting cancelled 👀
Which one are we talking about here? :)
@@Larry I can't tell if that's rhetorical or not 😂
Oh? What happened? Can’t say I’m big in the sports sphere.
Likely referencing Brett Favre, who pulled a reverse Robin Hood. Lol
Was referring to the Gary Lineker drama that has panned out over the last few days
5:14 I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition, ops, a reference to Ronaldinho Soccer on a non-Brazilian video.
The funniest thing about Chris Benoit is that i never watched wrestling but i was dating this girl in high school and she had a RIP Benoit on her myspace. Years later i found out who he was after watching that youtube video that made fun of him and had his son not tapping out. It was the video thst called him weapon x
The tight end joke was dirty.😂🤣😂
I love these videos and I hope they keep on coming.
It's absolutely frustrating how TH-cam has now become so strict with their monetization policies that TH-camrs now have to censor what they say in the most ridiculous ways possible
Yeah, Larry. You have to prove your innocence in a court of law, everyone knows that.🙊
