Giant Bomb Presents: A Chat With Video Game Championship Wrestling's Baz McMahon

Been looking forward to this!

@amyggen: So have I!

Special thanks to SuperNormal Step for making many of the best CAWS in the organization and organizing SNST, the previous developmental division of the VGCW.

@alex That version of Kefka was actually the end boss of Final Fantasy VI.

Alright, let's check out this sweet dump!

Yay!

Yay Bazza!

Thank you for this Alex!

I've dipped in once or twice, but last week was the first time I had actually sat and watched a full "episode" of VGCW. It was a great time. Baz does great work with that story creator, and he obviously has a great community of guys around him working hard on those CAW models.

Frog Fractions 2?

Thank you so much for doing this, Alex. Oh, and THANK YOU BAZZA

great interview

"Everyone loves seeing people go off the cage into the table at the bottom"

You leave table-san alone.

Great interview! End Game 7 should be good.

Thanks for doing this @alex been a long time coming! :)

A VGCW interview with Bazza on Giant Bomb?

Great interview Alex and Bazza, End Game 7 is going to be great.

Baz McMahon sounds like the fusion of Zubaz and Vince McMahon.

Buff my ass, or prepare for the Walking Apocalypse!

I just saw the CM Punk pilebomb... holy shit.

End Game 6 was fucking awesome

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

Of course Alex mentions winning the PAX East Royal Rumble. What a self-mark, always putting yourself over when possible. :-)

Going to have to check out End Game 7 after this interview since some of the things discussed just make VGCW so damn crazy. I did briefly watch a bit of a stream or two but the AI controlled matches will probably be a bit unbearable for me to watch and just watch the upcoming show for the storyline stuff I guess.

Who is that green skinned girl in the black dress in the image? It looks so familiar and I can't place it for the life of me.

EDIT: It's Gruntilda from banjo kazooie, took me about 20 seconds after I posted this

GET HYPE

Bazza has mentioned his unfamiliarity with Giant Bomb in the past. I wonder if he ever figured out who Giant Bomb was, and why everyone kept demanding that Jeff Gerstmann CAW.

Fun interview! Been watching VGCW since it was first mentioned on the Bombcast. It's amazing that Bazza has kept it fun and creative for so long. He does great work.

The most previous End Game may have had my favorite ending yet, with all the Phoenix Wright-related insanity. I was literally jumping out of my seat with all the reveals.

Aww yeah hype4dis!

yesssssssssssss

Does this have spoilers for the most recent season?

I haven't had time to watch it yet!

@vikingdeath1:

Yeah, he talks about the lead-up to each of the matches at End Game.

THANKS ALEX! THANKS BAZZA!

Is the Jeff Gerstmann character still in VGCW? I thought he was at some point, never watched so I could be mistaken

El Jefe

He's in the developmental show, EDBW. Here's his latest match.

Wow, those Paper Mario 2 spoilers...

The Gerstmann CAW entrance is great. One of the greatest in VGCW history.

Oh, man, now I HAVE to watch these.

... Did John Dudebro just give up Dr Tracksuit's real identity?

Awesome interview, really smooth and natural throughout. Bazza really does do an amazing job. He puts the real thing to shame. Can't wait for tonight. And yes I do believe that tonight is the night.

40 minutes until show time! Hype!

10 minutes!

TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT

The only kind of wrestling I watch and will probably ever watch.

Pretty great overview of the madness; thanks for making this happen, Alex!

I really, really liked this interview. Alex, thanks for going so deep into these rabbit holes for us.

From what I read of these storylines, they're all absurd and amazing and super creative. Their preview of the matches and setup for the PPV had me chuckling all the way through.

This was a good un.

It's amazing how's he able to make a weekly show.

Well done, Alex.

Great interview, Alex!

Baz McMahon, huh? Little bit on the nose, there.
