This triple tag team match is WrestleMania 39’s legacy moment, a slice of nostalgia where past WWE icons are given a lap of honour. Wow, video games really are too realistic sometimes.īecky Lynch, Lita & Trish Stratus vs. In the end, a sledgehammer to the back of the head made sure of that. Bodies are slammed through tables, and Edge…doesn’t quite get the Edge needed to secure the win. Grown men are clubbed in the head with baseball bats, only to get up shortly after. In the virtual version of WrestleMania 39’s very real match, Edge (of former Edge and Christian fame) and ‘The Demon’ Finn Bálor essentially commit murder on each other somehow. It’s a match that begs the question, how is any of this actually legal? Well, whether through legal oversight or loophole, it is. Wrestlers scale the cage, reach the top, only to be thrown off it and land 20-feet below in a crumpled mess. More often than not, the fight is taken outside. Wrestlers must beat down their opponent, all while locked inside a steel cube. The Hell in a Cell match has long been famed for being probably the most brutal match formats ever. Hey, we don’t make the outcome, we just predict it using the least amount of skill or knowledge possible. And this time, it’s Scotland with the winner as Drew McIntyre takes home the title thanks to a somewhat lacklustre DDT finisher. Then, there’s Drew McIntyre, a claymore-wielding Scotsman who sends wrestlers to sleep with his signature headbutt, the Glasgow kiss. There’s the flame-haired ‘Celtic warrior’ Sheamus, a cheeky chap with a headrattling finisher known as the brogue kick. You have the Intercontinental Champion Gunther, a towering Austrian giant nicknamed ‘The Ring General’. This triple threat match between Gunther, Sheamus and Drew McIntyre is essentially a decider for which national stereotype is superior. Drew McIntyre – Intercontinental Championship We can only assume the match lost half a star because neither of those things happened. There are moves in here that we’re pretty sure would actually kill a human being in real life. But still, this match was one of only two ‘instant classics’, and saw the pairing of Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez take home the metaphorical gold. Since we recorded this match in-game, Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville have been announced so this prediction may not be entirely accurate. Braun Strowman & Ricochet get the win in this one, a little and large tag pairing who are pretty much a jacked up wrestling version of The Two Ronnies. Don’t know what that means? Essentially, it’s a no holds barred bout that’ll probably end in a few sore heads. This is what wrestling is all about, and that’s what we got in this 8-man, 4-way tornado tag match. A gaggle of gigantic bald men slapping other gigantic bald men in the face. The moral of the story? Never have children.īraun Strowman & Ricochet vs. Eight minutes was all it took for Dominik to defeat his father, even finishing Rey off with his own finishing move, the 619. Sadly for ol’ daddy Rey, though, this story closer resembles the tale of Cronus. But just as Saturn devoured his son, Rey must do the same to his son Dominik Mysterio (but in much tighter clothing). For kids of the mid-00s, this masked wrestler was pretty much the coolest guy in the world, and we’re pretty sure a few bones were broken attempting his high-flying moves off the living room sofa. Who’ll get there’s this year? Let’s try predict the future.įans of a certain era will know the name Rey Mysterio all too well. But in the real world, there’s a WrestleMania moment on the line. This wouldn’t be considered a legal tag in a real match,” says Sykes, which is pretty fine to overlook in a video game. “In one match, a tag is made to their opponent under the top rope. In the real world, errors like a delayed count may at best be part of the story, or worse a legit botch that can derail a match.
