[@ninjaswordtothehead]

The realization that wrestling is just an action movie preformed live, like a play, gave me a new appreciation for the spectacle of it all.

[@nicholaslienandjaja1815]

Also, fun fact: WWF later got renamed into WWE because the World Wildlife Fund for Nature (the other WWF) threatened to sue them for sharing the same acronym. Reminds me of a parody T-shirt I once saw that features the WWF logo with two pandas fighting each other (one of them was holding a folding chair).

[@Bman32x]

It’s the best explanation of it.

[@perrycoffey5410]

[@brandonselitetv1436]

Dan Severn said it best. They're stunt men that dont use a Safety net. When They're falling of the ladder, they're not faking gravity.

I’m confused by his not recognizing any of the people. All but two for sure were in WWF in the 80s and 90s. Possibly the last one too. Unsure who the bottom right one is. But it’s Dustin Rhodes (Goldust), Vader, Rick Rhoode, Ric Flair, Johnny B Badd (Marc Mero), Rick Steiner, Sting, Brian Pilman, Scott Steiner, Ron Simmons (Farooq), Ricky Steamboat, and I’m unsure who the last one is.

It was pretty funny, but it felt a bit unnatural.

Which is funny because it wasn’t even DiBiase’s music but Strike Force’s

No, 2011 was when AVGN was funny :(

[@ImSquiggs]

AVGN has still got it man, a lot of my favourites are from the early days too but the fact that he can put out quality episodes a decade after the show started is incredible. How many other TV shows are still producing quality content during Season 10? Hardly any even make it that far, and when they do they have the Fonz jumping sharks and shit.

[@TriteNight1218]

Raw was actually the best wrestling game on SNES if you were a wrestling fan. The grappling system allowed you to do a bunch of moves, and all of the character’s special moves were included.

[@sebanj222]

I totally agree. You could also climb the ropes, slam a chair on your opponents head and lots of other stuff.

[@zyber9]

By now, I think The Nerd has played every LJN game released!

[@wwemonkey619]

[@herbcruz4697]

[@claudiobizama5603]

Yeah, they said there isn't too much to talk about it to make it an episode.

[@mattford6848]

They said the same thing about Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 when they played it on James & Mike and that didn't stop James from making a avgn episode about that game

[@Hailstorm273]

Well, they didn't even complete Wave Ocean in that video. I can only assume that James got better at that game, if he could get to Silver in the AVGN video.

Oh man, those non AKI WCW games pre-Electronic Arts are fucking dogshit. Mayhem and Backstage Assault are fine, though. Especially since you make a disco dancing Robocop in the former.

[@midwestmonster9886]

Fun Fact: LJN's contract with the World Wrestling Federation is why Sgt. Slaughter left the company in the mid-80s. He wasn't allowed to be an LJN WWF figure and a Hasbro G.I. Joe figure at the same time. The company brought him back in 1990 when they signed a toy contract with Hasbro. LJN still produced the video games.
