For years, WWE SmackDown!: Here Comes the Pain has been considered one of the best wrestling games of all time. Headlined by the top stars of the Attitude Era, new faces such as Goldberg and Brock Lesnar as well as the SmackDown Six. Does it still hold up in 2024? Let's find out!

I've always thought Shut Your Mouth was an underrated game because of what came after it. On it's own, it's still a really fun game with a tremendous graphical update. Except for the CAWs...

Finally! The episode is...here. On Smackdown! Just bring it. Woah! The review. Alex Wright!..is a really great person.

Not much wrestling game news this week but there's a helluva lot of figure talk coming out of Comic Con. We talk all the wrestling brands as well as Marvel and DC.

Happy 75th birthday, Mongo! Somehow, we were able to record an episode that is under an hour! We take a look at the Simple Series games. Japanese releases by YUKES using the Smackdown engine. We also talk Steve Masson's Neckbreaker game, Fight Forever and pre-Comic Con figure reveals.

We've decided to hold off until next week for the Simple Series so this week we're talking a little bit of gaming and a whole lot of wrestling figure Comic Con speculation. As well as Marvel, DC and terrible fanbases.

We're back, babbby! As promised a few weeks ago, we're looking at the first two Smackdown games for the PSX. We also talk about Virtual Basement lol, UPW looking for a publisher and the craziest news of the week, WWF No Mercy prototypes! New figures! DC Comics! Oh my!

Well, our recording software failed on us so a lot of this episode is missing but you do get to hear us talk about the Fire Pro Wrestling 35th Anniversary. Which was..a t-shirt giveaway. We also go over 2K24 DLC featuring the Honky Chunk Man, figures, the Wyatts and the state of wrestling as a whole.

Luckily, I was able to call in a special favour from a friend to close out this episode.

This week, we welcome back Freem to discuss WWF No Mercy. Is it really the best AKI game? We also go over the news. The newest VPW2 Freem Edition update, new Fire Pro? Rated Arrrgh DLC, UPW animations and a whole lot more. Here's to another 50 and 80 uncounted Special Reports.

Blazing Tornado was HUMAN's attempt at an arcade wrestling game. With a much smaller roster than usual, but great presentation. The game would see improvements in its Saturn port which we also go over. We also take a deep dive into the current gaming industry on the week of Summer Game Fest.
