WWE 2K24 - Dusty Rhodes vs. "Superstar" Billy Graham Gameplay | IGN Fan Fest 2024

The old Madison square garden arena is needed for this match.

[@ElDunPleb]

Well wm 20 arena is in the game so you can create you're own garden arena

[@bertusbotha]

As well as Vince McMahon and Jesse "The Body" Ventura on commentary

Didn't ol' Dusty have a rivalry with Ric Flair and the Four Horsemen also?

[@michaelbreen7865]

Yes, but Ric Flair and Arn Anderson aren't in the game this year.

[@jonathanturbide2232]

That was arguably his biggest feud (although Dusty himself always said his top rival was Terry Funk), Dusty feuded with the Horsemen for 3 years or so and drew huge money with them. Sadly Flair isn't in the game, however other Dusty rivals are in the game (Harley Race, Boss man, DiBiase, Macho, Terry Funk as dlc). 😊

Can you believe people actually complained about this? It added so much ESPECIALLY on the far side of the ring

[@PEGASEYE.]

@@silveredgrunion7196 Deadass thought it was never coming back too bro. It makes the game more immersive and feels like your watching a different cut like on tv. All they need left is an Upclose stage camera like in WWE 12..

@@PEGASEYE. yessssss! You get it

[@ashleyburns6752]

Why didnt they give Billy Graham these royalties when he was alive? Too often guys get the recognition when they are gone.

[@Al-jq6yp]

Cody should play Dusty's theme while walking through the ring at wresltemania 40 when he faces Roman.

[@Kidfriday305]

It would hit better if he came out with his normal entrance music & then after winning, they play American Dream

[@roaches23]

Nah. The woah at wrestlemania is needed

Nah do the American dream part at the beginning then go into kingdom

Guessing it’s supposed to be mimicking the old MSG layout that was used during the period this feud took place.

[@aswadi1991]

THQ always better

[@jonathanturbide2232]

​@EvaFull Therefore IGN should have used the Summerslam 88 arena or Wrestlemania 1 arena, which was Madison Square garden.

[@FullmetalNinja25]

The Match that almost changed history in 1977. Back when Superstar Billy Graham was WWWF Champion and in what he thought at the time the twilight of his career Vince McMahon Sr. was seriously considering putting the Title on Dusty Rhodes, 2 years before he would win his first NWA Championship. However Dusty and Vince Sr. could never come to an agreement over money and dates, so Dusty and Billy's match in MSG for the title would end in a DQ. Dusty would go to the NWA and become a legend there and in 1978 Billy Graham would eventually drop the title to Bob Backlund.

[@jonathanturbide2232]

Yeah Dusty was loyal to Eddie Graham and couldn't promise Vince Sr that he was going to be on every WWWF card, therefore his championship reign never happened. It's a shame because Dusty would have been a huge box office attraction for New York.

[@FullmetalNinja25]

@@jonathanturbide2232 It would've not only changed WWWF history but NWA history as well. Because without Dusty Rhodes in NWA Ric Flair wouldn't have had one of his greatest rivals of the 80s.

[@jonathanturbide2232]

@FullmetalNinja25 True, Dusty might have never went to work for Jim Crockett, and without Dusty's booking it's doubtful that JCP would have achieved the level of success that they achieved from 85 to 88. A very interesting "what if". 🤔😀

[@Dirrtysouth1]

​@@jonathanturbide2232 And....we might not have gotten all the major events Dusty created. No Great American Bash, no Starrcade, no Wargames, etc.

[@Daves_Faves]

Dusty's *second* NWA World title was "4 years" later in 1981, not his first. His first was in 1979.

No way. It’s so much better just like 2k19. Nothing thing is worse than when your wrestlers are on the bottom or top of the camera view and not see half of what’s going on. Also it makes it look more like the actual broadcast. It’s not like the controls change.
