It's hilarious how CM Punk always moves like he's got a stick up his ass in these games.

My only wish for this QL was that I would see Paul Bearer. And it has been granted. Truly a great day to be alive

I've always had a morbid fascination with wrestling games despite having no interest in actually watching it. The game looks entertaining, there's just too much out right now and I have too little time and money to play them all.

Remember that Lionhead game The Movies? That's exactly what I think about toward the end of this.

Ghost Problems might be the funniest thing in a Quick Look this year. Especially the last scene taking place at WRESTLEMANIA!

That is Paul Bearer with Punk. For some reason they use his usual look for his portrait but his '97 bad guy look in-game.

I was POSITIVE that the Sleeping Dogs DLC was going to be the best Quick Look of the year. Now it's got competition.

God I could sit for hours listening to Jeff elaborate on wrestling and wrestling games. It's the fucking dumbest thing ever but still totally fascinating to me regarding the whole circus surrounding it. I think my appreciation for these videos has a lot to do with him actually knowing a ton regarding the stuff and being really good at explaining the utter nonsense that wrestling is.

And having Vinny sitting in on this just takes it to another level - I love the "complete wrestler walkthrough" at the start. Kudos guys, a wonderful QL!

I know a couple more wrestlers than Vinny, I watched RAW from 2008-2009 and all the PPVs and realized that I knew how all of it will turn out so I stopped. Who's that other dude with the mask? not Rey Mysterio the other dude, is he a luchador?

@Pop: That's Sin Cara, better known as Mistico when he wrestled in Mexico. He was basically THE most popular luchador for a good while.

I really enjoyed the roster breakdown you guys did. I haven't played a wrestling game since N64 so it was kinda neat to see this...even though I don't care about wrestling...at all.

...wow..I might have to get this game just because it has Big Van Vader in it. I swear, Vader was one of the hardest working, and most underrated wrestlers of all time. Dude pushed his eyeball back into its socket in Japan, and finished his match. Thats crazyness.

@ShaggE: If you like MBMBAM you should look into "Professor Blastoff"(part of Earwolf) and "Top Five" (part of major spoilers).

Looks kinda cool, too bad I haven't given a shit about wrestling in like 10 years, otherwise I might have considered this. The story creation part of the QL was amazing.

oh man. the story at the end was superb. probably the first time that i actually laughed out loud since the Madden 13 QL. the great roster and the stuff they go into with the attitude era stuff totally appeals to me, but i have nobody to play this game with anymore. ; ; i think the friends i used to play wrestling games with have moved on from this kinda stuff.

That was great. Really, really great...but if there would've been a chance for those voice acting shenanigans like in Hulk Hogan's Main Event...can't even imagine how great that could've been.

Oh, watched the very end of it now and Ghost Problems...aaaaamazing stuff.
