I don't know much about wrestling but I would watch Andy and Mike play wrestling games everyday just because they are hilarious and wonderful together.

Okay, "on account of there being no voiceover" got a big laugh from me

While I am not a fan of wrestling games, I do enjoy watching yall play.

some cool features in this game, i love it how Andy started to do the outro just before pinning the guy, such confidence he was going to win

Road to Elite writer/designer here. Fun to watch you all play through (one version of) the mode! Big fan of the channel (and sister channel) - mostly for list-based content.

My favorite part was the 100% correct response to seeing Sammy Guevara

At this point…Mike and Andy are the authority for me on all things wrestling games

I live in Jacksonville Florida and that restaurant didn't have enough random stuff stapled to the walls but the gator tail is on point!

I want a simulator of going out to various cities and eating regional delicacies without the wrestling part.

God, that cheesesteak at 8:12 looks amazing. "All my days are Cheat days, my friend." See? Mike gets it.

Wow, the cutscenes remind me so much of Yakuza, especially how your guy chows down with his back to the camera then it shows you a photo of the food

I would watch actual wrestling if Andy and Mike did the commentary.

I am absolutely living for all the wrestling game content lately.

Love the waddle at 15:13 and the whaling on nothing at 19:54.

Can we get Mike and Andy going head to head in wwe2k23 GM mode? That would be fun

35:29 Best moment in the video 😂😂😂

The only name I recognise here is Luchasaurus (I know nothing about wrestling, but he was in the "Super Slow Show" once- seems like a cool guy by the way), but it's always fun to see a game that both delivers actual gameplay and doesn't take itself too seriously:)

Floridian here. We do have crocodiles as well but not in Jacksonville. We’ve got them down in the Everglades

Turns out a running kick to the back of the skull is a very effective maneuver lol

Any fight forever content you are guaranteed to see comments where people are so angry that others enjoy the game. Love how their feels revolve around a game they don't play

Awesome, I could watch another hour of this.

This is great to see. Recently got into watching wrestling (AEW) and it’s always fun to find videos where your current interests overlap!

If you didn't know, Adam Cole is a gamer, too. He has some some let's-play-together series with GrandPooBear among other things. You should reach out to him / his agent(s) and play with him on this channel.

Just love Andy and Mike's wrestle banter! More please!

They didn’t say BAY BAY

More of this. More WWE 2k23. Once the Stadium Stampede mode drops we all need a multi virw stream with you guys, Zoe on Eurogamer, Wheels on Dicebreaker, and Simon Miller on his channel.

Loving the wrestling content lately

This looks pretty fun. Might have to check this one out

Very generous to call those kicks missing a "no sell" 😂

Who knew a wrestling game could be so informative?

Need more of this!!!

As a Seattlite I can say the local dish is completely wrong. While not glamorous, Teriyaki meals are an iconic part of Seattle history. Seafood is an important part of our food options, but teriyaki joints are as numerous as Starbucks out here and people have their preferred places

Absolutely love that y'all are into AEW 💛 Can't afford the game so this is by far my most joyous long-form content watch in a while

Mike bombing Andy's outro is on brand for him.

To be fair, Andy, Road Warrior Animal wore the spikes into his 50s, too.

"This is on Dark so no one is watching it" the burn is burning bright I actually watched AEW Dark during its first year in KZfaq and did have some great matches back then before it became squash match city.

I've no idea who wrestlers are, but the guy andy is playing as looks like a young, shiny, Peter Stormare - so that is my headcanon for this video.

As someone who actually lives in Jacksonville Florida, I can confirm what Andy and Mike have to say about it.

You said it wrong. "I'm playing Adam Cole BAY BAY!" FTFY

They say the game was supposed to be a reflection of no mercy

*NOTICE: Long, Nostalgia Fueled, Vicariously Joyous, EPIC STORY About the Power of Friendship, Fambly, Games, Wrestling, & KZfaq! Please enjoy, I tried to make a point!* SO, TRENT, from the BEST FRIENDS, WENT TO MY HIGH SCHOOL!!! I WENT TO HIS HOUSE COUNTLESS TIMES GROWING UP! "SUE" (HIS MOM THAT APPEARS OFTEN, I'M TOLD) KNOWS ME LIKE A FAMILY MEMBER, AS DOES "TRENT", BECAUSE HIS YOUNGER BROTHER WAS - GET THIS - *MY* BEST FRIEND GROWING UP, AND STILL IS TO THIS DAY! We're all from Long Island, New York, but Trent's family has since moved to the South (as most New Yorkers tend to do once their kids grow up), but I've been following his career through stories from his lil bro, & our other best friend, who also has the same connection to the family (I don't have cable TV, & have a lot on my plate rn, so I've only seen clips & stuff of Trent being dropped off by Sue in the SUV, etc.). Once he _left_ the WWE & entered AEW, I was super happy for him. He got to keep going, arguably in the better job. Around this time, I left a comment on an OXBOX video. I asked Andy if he knew who Trent was; he REPLIED to my comment, saying "Yes of course, the Best Friends!" That was mind-blowing enough right then! Little did I know... Now, like 9 years later or something, after Trent has come back from countless horrific injuries, & still continues to wrestle like an absolute LEGEND, I saw that AEW was releasing a *GAME!* I asked one of my aforementioned "mates" if Greg (his real name🤫) was going to be immortalized in videogame form- and he sent me a promo pic of his character model! I STILL can't believe it (even if the likeness isn't good, I know his face lol). So just imagine this. You grow up with your best friend - who wrestled in a homebrew Ring with us in his backyard btw - (I've f**king wrestled Trent lol) and then your BFF tells you "my brother is gonna be a pro wrestler!". You go on living your life, KZfaq explodes, and the first channel you really fall in love with is this upstart with Andy from Inside Xbox, Mike from OXM, & millionaire KZfaqr Jane Douglas😅 You watch it for years, it grows and becomes a wonderful community. Then one day, *that channel who you've watched since day one, says they're ABOUT TO WRESTLE **_YOUR BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER,_** in a VIDEO GAME!* To make it even more insane- they're called the damn *BEST FRIENDS!* I know I'm late to this video, but again- I got a lot going on lately. I just hope that anyone can appreciate how amazing, mind-blowing and RADICAL AF this is for me, and everyone I will be sending this to! I've paused it before the match began, because God knows what my meltdown will be like once it actually STARTS. I LOVE YOU ANDY & MIKE! I LOVE YOU TRENT AND FAMILY, MISS YOU ALL! I'm so proud of Greg for repping our hometown in the most creative, hilarious way possible! For anyone who is curious, "Trent" is the nicest guy you'll ever meet, and his family always took care of me too. Life is _wild_ you guys💚

I can't believe it but you are slowly getting me into wrestling

Adam Cole superkicks Hangman, but they’re buddies their very next match 😂

Mike stepping on Andy's Outro. *Andy:* Michael Jennifer Channell, you jabroni...

8:02 is Andy deliberately or unintentionally saying cheese _-cake_ instead of cheese _-steak?_

To me the best part of this game is the inclusion of Owen Hart. Glad to see him finally get his due as well

I used to watch a lot, even went to see smackdown live when they came to town, was great fun, think a bit of my eyebrows singed when my favorite came out (kane), sadly think Mick Foley was retired so no Mankind…anyways the games are fun and this one seems cool

I imagine crocodile hungree is a crocodile dundee reference.

While this is probably not that important, there are crocodile in Florida. The American crocodile is in the southern most tip of Florida (I think).

1:43 The T shirt he's wearing is incomplete. It should also say 'Center of the Universe' :)

I enjoy the wrestling content.

Florida actually has both alligators and American crocodiles

I'm seeing a lot of people say this game looks terrible, and I have to wonder if they have actually played wrestling video games at all despite what they say. This looks like every other wrestling game ever, all due respect to AEW.

I like this. Strong buy. Looks fun.

MIKE! insulting my name! kidding about my outrage but my name is Adam haha

Haa! 35:34 So Perfect. 😆👍

Y'all should review the online mode for ps4. Of course, that would mean that it would have to work first.

I found the first match quite confusing, as it seemed to be Andy playing Adam, fighting someone who looked like Andy, named Chuck?

I tend to agree with Ethan Page, the post is the hardest part of the ring...

I thought Abadon was your created character when the vid started.

Did you just drop a Simon Miller Reference?? The ring apron?? Wait a minute…. I believe it’s the hardest part of the ring

Wonderful haha

I’m here for the hardyz luv. Those were the days.

17:35 - Also called "the WhatCulture problem."

I do enjoy that has my favorite part of wwe 2k20. It's absolutely unhinged and ridiculous so you have no idea what's going to happen next. My favorite part of wrestling.

Obviously the name for a team of two Adams should be The Adams Family

As a resident of Jacksonville Florida, let me just say, Crocodile Hungree is a fictional place and does not represent us.

Please play Def Jam Fight for NY

The match scoring system gives higher scores to shorter matches, as well as higher scores for you losing less health throughout the course of the fight. Both indicators of a one sided, boring match. It’s based on dominance, rather than some sort of “audience enjoyment” metric…which would’ve been more fun

hardest part of the ring is not the apron it's the post

Fans of Ups and Downs are we? The ring apron, of course, is the hardest part of the ring.

I feel like bonkers is a word to be used solely by this channel alone, as it fits it so well

I love how Andy keeps riffing at Meltzer for the Tokyo Dome when you can actually unlock it in WWE 2K23.

THE HARDEST PART OF THE RING? I WONDER WHAT THAT IS

Hardest part of the ring 😂😂. Gotta love a Simon Miller reference

More Please ...

As a former South Philly resident, I approve of the cheesesteak shout-outs. Not from the game, from Mike.

"all my days are cheat days" there's IDKFAday, IDDQDday, COOPER TEAMday ...

Yeah they stripped back the press conference mode from the original version where you had a free entry text field and as many muffins as you could cram into your mouth

...And Eventually Wrestling.

More. AEW. Content.

This game looks awesome, another great video guys!

You guys like wrestling, im not surprised but i wasnt expecting the knoledge. NICE

Is this an aki game?

Why do all wrestling games look like they were made with $5

Jax fl? I'd rather eat off the floor!

It seems the same waitress is following them from city to city. 🤔

Yes

I thought the thumbnail read RONKERS, so I was confused.

A shame you didn't invite EG's Zoe along.

Adam Paige steals your bag and hides in it his locker. Spoiler alert

This is a game from this year?!?

nice, this looks pretty impressive for a ps2 game

I'm first?

KZfaq's new UI for fire TVs is abysmal and gives me a headache now as I try to browse your videos. I'm unfortunately not going to be able to view much more of your future youtube content under these circumstances. It shame, because oxbox and oxboxtra are my favorite youtube channels. Really wish KZfaq would be reasonable and allow some level of accessibility features/customization. But we should all know better than to expect KZfaq to ever do the right thing. Anyways, wishing you all the best for the future. Hopefully I'll be able to safely tune in again, eventually.

This game looks awful.

Forget this garbage, start work on those jingles for the remaster of Red Dead ! Its gonna be a year or so, plenty of time for getting those new John tunes. 😀

I hate how sports games do their career modes these days, so much fluff between matches

Man, this game is bad. Almost as bad as watching Dynamite.

It's completely guff. 20 quid game.
