Here's a look at the 5 times WWE games copied their own storylines. It could sometimes take years for it to happen, other times, it'd be the next game in the series.

2K20 was so forgettable that I forgot Orton was GM again...

[@blackpoptart4781]

Cause of all those bugs they had, nobody played it.

[@OtherBarry4908]

No it's not. Everyone remembers 2k20, only for how bad it is.

[@gusmanfilmmaking6672]

Ok wtf was that “Wait and See” delivery by Swagger at 1:22

[@JustinLeeper]

Glad you asked! We got that in our file dump from voiceover sessions, and I thought it was hilarious. I believe it was an adlib by Swagger. I think our audio team (Soundelux DMG) added it in and surprised me, or maybe I requested it. Either way, damn right I was gonna use it! I don’t believe it was in the original script, so when Cesaro (who played Swagger in mocap) did that scene, he didn’t act that line. For another great/odd VO, I made sure we snuck in Flair’s “WOOOO, ATTACK!” in an SVR 2009 cutscene - which he strangely said while recording what were supposed to be attack/reaction sounds (we called them “efforts”)

[@mohabalserafe3795]

Can't wait to see how his voice acting as king shark in the suicide squade kill the justice league is going to be once the game is realesed man I wish I had a playstation

He really is. I never noticed how God Awful the voice acting was in the games

@@CharlesHitmanStone They all sound like whispering or something. The director of these games is really bad

[@ThirdRateNerds]

Orton's performance actually improved a lot since the earlier games. Sounds like somebody actually gave him some direction in 2k20. Shame the game sucked, but ya know, small victories

[@mr.mayhem6755]

Joe who?

[@Homerstar]

After WWE 2K22 is released I think a good video could be Wrestlers who appeared in WWE games despite being in another company. For example Rob Van Dam appeared in SVR 2011 despite being in TNA at the time.

[@JustinLeeper]

We were lucky to snap up RVD for 2011 when we did. He was between contracts, but seemed destined for TNA.

Tre: “I put the ‘entertre-ment in sports entertainment!” Randy: You’re fired. *RKO*

It’s crazy how the games make better groups & storylines then the real thing. They need to hire the writers from the game they might save the ratings from droppin

[@mohabalserafe3795]

Not only that but even the general managers in these games are useful it's like they are the ones who are calling the shots around and they are the ones who makes the matches and not the writers of the shows kinda wish that would be a thing in real life too
