Oh and man, it sucks that there's no fantasy warfare matchup between "New DX" and Miz & Morrison. At 13:37, you're right - when you think of tag teams, you do NOT think of Triple H and HBK. But they're on the roster, so why not? I'm no hater - I dig them rocking DX together - but they're not really Degeneration X. There's no Chyna, no X-Pac, no Road Dogg, etc. Still, the pairing of Triple H and HBK is cool - they should match 'em up against Miz & Morrison with one of those sweet Fantasy Warfare video packages.

If you can't run people over with cars, I'm not interested.

@vinsanityv22:  
I don't know anything about animation blending (but I did enjoy Shaolin Monks), but it's nice to see the studio not go to waste. I remember listening to a podcast sometime ago (Hotspot maybe?), and one of them threw out the (conspiracy) theory that THQ bought the San Diego studio to make sure there was no competition to the WWE games.

Jared's Super Dragon reference earns him the win... the complete and utter win.

" I so don't get wrestling. "

My parents informed me right from the start that it was all choreographed.  Consequently, my entire experience with wrestling as a kid consisted of arguments with my friends about the fraud.  I was all, " wrestling is fake and so is Santa!" 
"nuh uh! "
"you're stupid"
"no you are!"
 
etc.  
 
I don't understand the appeal either.  :/

something about John Cena's model specifically reminds me of the "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" sequence in Across The Universe.

I presume wrestlers who have died haven't been included for respect's sake.
edit: No, it would seem the gigantism dude has snuffed it (probably due to the gigantism) so I guess the rest of the popular ones will be in the sequel? OK, so I'm gutted that the British Bulldog isn't in this basically. Guess I'll never know why not.

This looks like it take a lot of stuff from Def Jam: Fight for NY, which I am absolutely alright with.

"He's called goddamn 'Andre the Giant'. You have to make him really big!" 
This made me laugh really hard for some reason.

I wish I could read the comments of just one video that had either Jared or Alex in them where there weren't comments full of either "I hate him, rrrraaaahh!!" or "GB should hire him! I want to see him everywhere!" Regardless of how interesting they can be in some moments they do not nearly have the rapport and humor that the core GB crew have. 
 
Jared and Alex are very much like something like vanilla extract with GB in that they can help make something larger than them more interesting but if I saw them on Giant Bomb on a regular basis I think it would ruin the overall product. (And frankly, in regard to Jared, he's really a one-trick pony. He spoke alot about DAII on the podcast last time but basically all he brings to the table is fighting game stuff that, selfishly, I can't take in large quantities.)

This quick look is especially hilarious if you're at all familiar with the wrestling landscape.
 
P.S. - Botchamania FTW.

The song at the 14:00 mark is from the Red Alert 2 soundtrack. Why do I know this? More importantly, why is THQ using it?

I got the game and was enjoying it, until I played it for about 8 hours and though "Is this it?"

Even a Hell in the Cell mode couldn't keep me from selling it at this point...

I somehow wanted to watch this after hearing about the passing of "Macho Man" Randy Savage. I'm playing as him the rest of the day online.

This seemed to be the most appropriate thing to do, basically remembering the idealized Macho Man from the game. Snap those slim jims forever MM
