Pat took 3 minutes to just sit there, quietly, contemplating, to create the perfect game.

Woolie starts it off by saying you can’t just drop 100 wrestlers on an island, then Pat swoops in suggesting exactly that and the Zaibatsu falls in love with it. Pat should have been been a stock trader or at least in advertising.

Current emotion: Woolie clapping furiously

i love how pat is quiet for the first couple of minutes and then just drops EVERYTHING

It's unbelievable how excited these guys get over wrestling

6:26 When we're at the ring that's rapidly rising into the skies part, the clouds are going to gradually become a blurred version of a crowd and you're going to start hearing chants in the distance.

Had to come back to this clip after absolutely binging my first session of Rumbleverse

Pat may have created one of the few Battle Royales that has my attention.

In order to keep the sanctity of a Battle Royale intact, Royal Rumble should allow the wrestlers to hide under the ring with folding chairs in hand.

Somewhere out there, Cliffy B weeps...

I am SO disappointed that they didn't include some sort of wrestling move system, where you go around collecting wrestling magazines and wrestling posters to get wrestling moves. But the moves have rarity (i.e one backbreaker is level 2 which is weaker than a backbreaker level 4). Das free,Woolie. Das one's free

I love whenever Matt gets excited for something. It's so fun and pure.

This is real now, it's called Rumbleverse and it's being made by Iron Galaxy!

So wild that this idea actually will be coming out

All the items are on at elevated places and are only accessible via a ladder. And there is a Money in the Bank briefcase that lets you instantly be one of the final few wrestlers on the ring at the end

Pat is dropping liquid hot GOLD here, goddamn what a game pitch.

Woolie, killing the vibe with the words "Ring Cube" and its boring description, somehow has the audacity to tell Pat to "hurry up" with his easily better idea.

Which animator should take this one? I would say Plague, but i don't think this idea is furry enough.

Anybody else here because of the Rumbleverse announcement?

I'm surprised non of them had the idea of the map being a wrestling venue, with areas like the parking lot, locker rooms, manager office etc. And instead of circle of death, the areas get turned into death zones a la Radical Heights, with the final zone always being the ring.

I think a huge ring consisting of intertwining ropes and polls that make up 8 rings (4x4) would be fine. This would be be perfect for a 80 man and still enough to fit a 100 man wrestler battle royal.

Hulk Hogan immediately banned for spouting racial slurs upon entering the match.

My favorite parts of the friendcast are these moments; when are you guys gonna organize a game jam, seriously?

Instead of health packs, you find Mean Gene okerlunds around the map and cut promos. As you cut your promo your health is regenerating.

I can’t believe it actually happened

My favorite drop in this game is the Birthed Severed Hand. It causes mass confusion.

Closest thing we’ll get to Rustlemania. I’ll take it

I love how hyped these guys are over something that will be nothing forever.

The barrier ropes will always be in a square, a squared circle if you will. Pat said there'd be Backyard style wrestling environments like fences, sheds, houses etc., but there is a zone called the "House of Horrors" neighbourhood where each house is a hardcore match zone. Also, somewhere on the map, you can take control of the Wyatt Compound, where you can recruit others to join your family as a temporary alliance so that you can't be targeted by said family members--and if you defeat enough wrestlers, you can summon lightning! You can find Undertaker's workshop to use coffins. You can use the Lex Express to get around. You can find a special suit called, The Shock Master, that allows you to crash through walls. There would be Perks in the form of Belts, if you are wearing a belt either from your loadout or, just received one from the map in a Ladder match where there be a belt suspended. However, Belts can also be found in Triple Cages, Lethal Lockdowns, Cells, Kennels From Hell Cells, etc, even from the Champions themselves that are on the map, you need a referee though.

This sounds like a Kinnikuman arc

Time to make another billion dollar IP

If you win the time limited money in the bank event you can spectate any currently running match and at any time you can pull the trigger to cash it in and a big dumb entrance happens, no matter what state the match is in. Your wrestler runs down a huge ramp with their music blaring and you superhero land right in the middle of all the gassed finalists with full meter.

Addressing Matt from the beginning of the video, a battle royal is already a match type. The Royal Rumble is just a modified version of it, created by Pat Paterson. It's all the guys in the ring at the beginning of the match and then being eliminated by being thrown over the ropes. The Royal Rumble is a superior drip feed version of that.

Oooh, I was hoping that this segment would be uploaded when I was listening to the podcast.

"Ahhhh!!! I've been SO knocked out. Better disregard me." Matt Mcmuscles - Coward

If any devoloper took notice of the zaibatsu, and made some of the shit they talk about, serious money could be had.

I've never contributed to a Kickstarter before, but if someone is seriously going to do this I'll consider it

Meanwhile in 2020, WWE 2K Battlegrounds exists in name, so we’re getting closer to the late Best Friends’ dream than ever

Rumbleverse: Origins

This starting autoplaying and I'm so thankful. This conversation is godlike.

Woolie's weird Mario Galaxy Cube world got me thinking about the movie Cube. Like the entire cube consists of smaller cubes made of rings and only once in a blue moon, when the ring cube you and your opponent are currently inhabiting is at the outmost layer of cubes, only then are you able to score a ring-out until you plummet back into the depths of the Time Ring Cube. Just typing this out made me feel the rush of Insight gained from Madman's Knowledge.

Rumbleverse (FINAL)

Not gonna lie this would be fucking incredible.

No, there should only be one ref on the field but players have a set numbr of refs they can call in during a game that will function similarly to a supply drop

There needs to be a face/heel dynamic you can pick for your wrestler. Faces do more damage by performing difficult technical moves, heels do more damage by using weapons, performing sneak attacks, nut shots, etc.

I love Pat at the beginning just deflated, like 'these idiots and their ring world'

This is the most beautiful thing they've ever come up with

When the ring rises in the center, the ground around it opens up and stands full of fans also rises up along with the ring!

And now there’s rumors of AEW Fight Forever having a battle Royale mode

They did do the ring cube in Ultimate Muscle and even they said it was stupid

Thats big bucks right here my favourite bit in a while

The real money left on the table is that they were calling it "Battle Royale Rumble" instead of "Royal Royale".

I just imagine it being like the duelist kingdom in Yugioh where like everyone is dropped in an island and there's like rings literred all over the place. You go up to someone and go "hey I challenge you to a match let's go to the ring and settle this also bring in the ref". Anyone eliminated gets sent back on a plane while the winners just continue looking for the others before it's finally one man standing

Ok listen hear me out. Refs don't get dropped by crates, refs get summoned. Each wrestler can carry a maximum of one ref whistle and starts out with one. The moment one wrestler hits another, a ring spawns around them. The ring disappears only when there is one wrestler left standing. Anyone can jump in an existing ring. Any wrestler inside the ring can summon a ref to rule on a submission hold, but that consumes the ref whistle he carries. If the ref rules in his favour, the ref remains as long as that wrestler keeps winning. Ref whistles are dropped like crates, but a bit more frequently. You can also jump out of the ring and run away, but that consumes one ref whistle. The death zone is a closing cage. Once 5 people are left standing, it becomes a proper wrestle stage 10km up in the air as Pat said. The cage actually pushes you, you physically cannot be outside it. So if you're in a ring and the cage pushes you out, you have a ring out and lose. This means that two people can be pushed out of a ring simultaneously and both lose.

King of the Hill mode: It’s just Hardcore Title 24/7 rules.

You can pick from a variety of different wrestlers and if you get a double pick they just change outfits

And all of the wrestlers sky dive from a XFL blimp, those that drop too late will be killed when the blimp inevitably crashes to the ground.

I like how the coffin idea more or less predicted Apex' revive mechanic months ahead of time.

I'd play that battle royal, but only if the falling animation is an elbow drop

The Tournament of Power

I just want some Deadliest Warrior multicube of bars and metal cages, and you not only are trying to win the royale rumble but escape the cube to the final arena, like extreme ladder tier

I'm bummed that none of them realized that at a point they started describing the fucking pyramid from Mortal Kombat Armaggeddon.

Im sold take my money

Pat is a Hideo Kojima of Super Best Friends.

Woolie really needs to watch Tiger Mask W because in one of the episodes there a wrestler battle royal and a pyramid match where fighters fight to the top. Also there is a battle royal deathmatch where the final boss is a terminator wrestler robot. Im not making this shit up.

Perk: High Time The ability to super jump off the turn buckle, soar in air over the whole map for a limited time and pick who you wanna elbow-drop like you're a living tactical nuke strike

Something else to make the game work would be instances of matches that happen across the map randomly like pubg's red danger bombing zones. Get caught in one and now everyone in its radius is forced into something like a ladder match, climb or die losers. Also pick ups could just be the special moves of real wrestlers.

Shoutout to Woolie wearing a Team Rocket shirt. Glad to know he's on our side.

I preferred the massive open ring. Can you imagine clotheslining someone from a mile run up. Running across a wasteland forearm out, opponent CANNOT dodge.

Somewhere in the world Vince Ruso is taking notes

The storm should be the crowd and you should have port-a-rings

in addition to finding weapons throughout the map, you can find special moves

The shrinking cage idea is already taken by One Piece. Hell... The end of Dressrosa was essentially an attempt at a Battle Royale put on by Doffy.

Didn't expect the idea to snowball to such dope heights

Imagine an island where there are rings of all kinds spread out across it, one is a cage, another is a ladder match, etc. Now, you can fight outside of the rings, BUT, you can only eliminate someone inside the ring. Of course instead of guns you can find chairs, tables and many different items across the map that you can use. There will also be different modes, one could be called Undertaker mode, think of the Thanos event, but with the Undertaker.

If you look really closely, you can see Woolie getting haunted as fuck.

Holy shit Matt I lost my shit at "Massive ring!"

Wasnt Ring World literally a Kinnikuman thing? Why dont they read Kinnikumon?

I had an idea similar to a wrestling battle royal. King of the hill on top of a multilevel cage, like a step pyramid. You get eliminated by being thrown off.

Game of death style with the last boss!

Isnt this the Stone Cold Classic The Condemmed?

All I can imagine is a constantly moving 4D tesseract of wrestling rings.

Fucking awesome x'D I'm not even into wrestling and y'all had me hype af

How do managers work? And as the ring rises gigantic rocket standts fly in and float around the ring!!! Fuckin yeah!!!!

Every time I close my eyes

This just makes me think of Tiger Mask W and the Temple Ring that they used

Omg and what if there is a special item that is just a section of ropes that when it is placed near an opponent you will be able to do high damage moves like the 619 omg. And with customized moves and taunts. Custom characters is a must.AAAAAAHHHH AND SPECIAL DROPS CAN CALL IN SUPER CHARACTERS FOR SUPER MOVES. WHY AM I GETTING SO EXCITED!!!!!?????

The barrier could be ropes, which is strong, but to punish the wrestler for being outside the barrier you are being pummelled by fans and / or Lumberjack wrestlers.

This just as crazy as the New Japan Rumble

WRESTLEWORLD: WRESTLING IS EVERYWHERE

Pat's final idea sounds a lot like a sequence from a certain Fistshark Marketing episode.

This idea, with Smash characters. But all characters use wrestling moves.

Just have the wrestlers parachuted outside of the stadium itself. The ropes can still be the enclosing boundary, and just have all the Rustling shenanigans you'd see every time the cameras were outside the ring be the eliminations (i.e. chasing dudes around with a sledgehammer, running over fools in your golf cart, and gathering all your chairs/chains/ladders and etc). Then, the ropes force everyone into the stadium, where the fans have been waiting and cheer on the last few remaining wrestlers as they climb into the ring, with all of their gear in tow, for the final cage match.

This is a few episodes of Tiger Mask W.

Ok.....man....if only i was more skilled as a programmer i would totally try and do this and maybe even someday i will ;) . And if i made it super rich from it you bet your ass i would be giving all 3 of these guys my money and credit for the idea because i love these goofballs and have been watching them for 8 years.

The time has come. Kickstart this shit.

Call it The Clash at Wrestlehead

This is amazing and I hope this happens

Fun feature: a ko’d player is randomly selected to fight the last man standing on top of wrestling mount olympus as GOD
