Did you know, if you lock in a submission move like a heel hook and hold it long enough, but they don't tap out, they'll spend the rest of the match "selling" by slapping their leg or have a minor limp.

[@onlytri6734]

I was so happy when I ran into Cole Quinn the performance center. Now they just need to make him playable

[@FattPaulie]

Did you know there is a great way to farm evolve challenges in weekly towers? I've been able to evolve 3 of my undertaker cards in the Iron Man Match against Kendrick. Say the card says "get 3 pins" well all the points in that match count towards it. It's a fast way to evolve cards as long as the challenge doesn't require limb targeting. Also Carmella and Angel Garza have specific chants if they get hit in the face. The crowd will say "Not the face, not the face." Pretty neat detail.

[@WukisGGK]

I was playing a tag team match with Kushida and Cesaro against Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch. Cesaro and Kushida won the match, and after the bell rang, they called Cesaro by his full name, Antonio Cesaro.

[@Veteran622]

Bro, legit, the fact that we can now do the Royal Rumble in any arena we want makes me *so* happy, like for real. I have been asking for something like that for *YEARS* every time a new game was announced. This game really feels like a fix up from all the past small things from past games that, up until now, I didn't even *realize* I had a problem with.

3:02 The NXT Thunderdome arena is playable in MyGM mode. Weird that we can't use it anywhere else in the game.

[@sirkjohno0129]

In all fairness, they're also easy enough to create in create an arena. Just use the Thunderdome stage template and choose the NXT/NXT UK graphics, and download the apron designs That being said, it's weird they're not selectable in regular gameplay

[@chrisdanger5426]

Did you know that the retribution trio entrance no longer is in the game despite being in KZbin videos before the game came out maybe because of the patch 1.05

[@ericmurrill7847]

Must be a glitch

[@gator9339]

I was wondering where it went.

[@thecellardoor54543]

That stable was weird since the 8th. Them and imperium were locked and u couldn’t edit them. I think retribution was supposed to be a 4 man entrance because I put Ali in the group and instead of coming out after them just the 3 came out as a team and it skipped right over Ali… I don’t know if the placement matters or what but if u look at the 3 man entrance and win animation there’s definitly room for a 4th guy… so now it’s gone gone like you can’t select it? Is the default team still set with it if we didn’t mess with it? So dumb really nothing u can do with them guys but that in their states in the game. Was just gonna have Ali lead it for universe.

[@kieran5971]

Whilst playing today I did a match with Hogan v Warrior and the commentary team reference the “Ultimate Challenge” from WM 6 at the start of the match. Also there was some funny commentary as we all know how Hogan doesn’t like his hair being mentioned and that’s why his bandana can’t be removed well during his entrance Byron does an impression of Hulk and Cole says “the only thing you have in common is your hairline” that amused me. 😂

[@dominikstasiak4247]

So if you beat the Ministry of Darkness Taker, Cole will say "The streak.....is gone"

[@ThisIsMarkJones]

Did you know that there is a logo for Mark Andrews in WWE Images within Create a Superstar despite him being removed from the game.

Did you know that while playing MyRise during a match in PC, you can hear Bryan Danielson's WWE 2K19 theme in the background

[@lrodriguez4354]

I was just playing as Io Shirai. As some might not know, if you either run toward the corner or hold the right bumper in the corner while holding the right trigger, you can jump up to the top while facing outward. Ya know, kinda like how Io Shirai does it all the time in real life. Well, I tried doing this to do the moonsault and the game would NOT give me the toggle to hit the finisher nor would it let me hit it by pressing the finisher buttons. Seemingly, it’s impossible to hit her finisher this way. I’m sure it’s still possible as a normal move, but I haven’t tried it that way yet. I had to make it look contrived by having her do RVD’s style of climbing the ropes, then she had to turn back around just to hit the moonsault. Hope next update should fix this

[@splashbros-yc9lk]

Yeah her finisher has been glitched for a while now idk when they plan on fixing it

[@UndeadAngel1987]

Diving finishers just seem to be wonky in general this year. I don't think Ember ever does the Eclipse in-game. because of it. The range on a lot of them is screwed up as well. I've had so many times where the game would make me think my opponent was out of range only for me to hit them with a regular diving move.

[@splashbros-yc9lk]

@@UndeadAngel1987 it sucks too because the last 2 years aerial finishers were already almost useless cause they were so easy to reverse now we have this issue on top of them being super easy to reverse

[@hugotennington2202]

I've reported this to 2K and the response I got was because you can't execute top rope finishers when facing away from the opponent. This is kinda annoying since it worked fine in previous games

[@thecellardoor54543]

Yea the range is dumb took forever to hit ricochets…. The being able to climb up backwards is such a cool little attention detail too sucks they can never get it right since 20…. 20 had guys turning around when u went up backwards almost like they were targeting someone. Only smaller guys stay backwards in 20 which sucked for guy like Keith. Now we got the dumb “giant rope climb” glitch that makes guys like hogan only able to either step over the top or jump over. Pretty sure it’s connected to the top rope nonsense in create a move set go check it out….. PLUS everyone jumps to the top top of you try to 2 step climb. Go outside to the apron then run up a turnbuckle and see Braun jump

If you make a custom attire for Hulk Hogan, he won't rip his shirt off during his entrance even if you leave his attire unchanged. Also, the crowd will be completely silent and stay seated the whole time acting like nobody is coming out. This happens even if you set the new attire as an alternate attire for Hogan. I made Hogan's 80's attire (which is actually pretty easy to do) and discovered this. It's frustrating because I prefer the 80's Hogan over '02-'03 Hogan as I'm sure a lot of people do. Plus there's no way to remove Hogan's bandana in any way to get the full 80's look either without making a custom creation from the ground up.
