This man did an entire minute-long AMV for a mostly-forgotten PG era midcarder Beefy is such a goat holy shit

28:35 Genuinely loved the Monster edit, and can’t believe Beefy found a “This is Riley Country” sign lmao

I really hope this is a sign that we are getting our next WWE 12 Universe Mode Stream soon!

I'm happy that Riley was finally able to turn into A MONSTER, A MONSTER

Alex Riley being announced in a triple threat and main event title match, then pinning Lesnar clean was the hardest I've laughed and most I've ever seen chat pop ever watching a stream.

Why did the Alex Riley “Monster” promo have to go so hard like that? 🔥

James Darnell’s hero Alex Riley got his Dreams do come true moment.

Showcasing Alex Riley, just like Pulse did NOT do during that meet and greet with his friend.

Every time I see Alex Riley, I always remember that time he thought a crowd sign reading "PUSH RAGE" was meant to be for him but in reality it was Matt McMuscles putting his Def Jam character over on TV.

Holy fuck, that A-Ry 'Monster' hype video made him seem like more of a star than he's ever seemed in his entire life; also, does anyone know who does that cover of Monster because it sounds better than the original Imagine Dragons version?

Oh my god Beefy COOKED with the Alex Riley Monster video package

The montage damn near brought a tear to my eye, beautiful stuff.

I did not expect “HE’S SHOOT DEAD”

please continue this universe mode im super into it!

Alex Riley as the True Babyface and Mason Ryan as the despicable heel was the WWE TV we needed in 2012

7:00 *NEVER* has a Universe Mode been so accurate to the wrestler it is portraying.

Praying for another WWE 12 Universe episode 🙏

Pulse watching this: THERE GOES MY HEROOOO! WATCH HIM AS HE GOESSSS!

Jeez Shawn took it personal on Alex Riley with the belt shots 😂

Big Show tripping over the steps had me crying

NL could just become a full time WWE 12 universe channel and id be all for it 😂

Remember when Yoshi Tatsu and Tyson Kidd had that feud over an action figure and it culminated in a ladder match where the action figure's leg was hanging above the ring?

2:11. Perfect timing by Michael Cole. LOL.

13:28 Mason Ryan casually doing the Mike Knox "Quarter Past Ten" taunt

It honestly is amazing just how freaking great the storytelling in the HBK vs Alex Riley match was. The face-heel-dynamic was executed to perfection, I could practically hear the chorus of boos during HBK's assault with the replica belt, then Riley's apparent comeback after the Impaler DDT and the chair set-up, only for it to be interrupted by the Sweet Chin Music, HBK getting the Okada treatment with the camera zoom-out during his taunt, before utterly destroying Riley and getting the win. A simple story, seen thousands of times before in wrestling, yet still when it's executed to perfection, it will always pull you in, even in a video game.

I love that the game just doesn't remember the factions the boys made.

I've legit come back to this video twice just to rewatch the video package. Amazing job on that beefy!

The Stone Cold soundboard gets me every time.

The Monster WMV was fantastic, props to beefy. Also, the Stone Cold soundboard bit never gets old. I was there for the live stream and the bit with the WHAT?s on the stunner still got me cackling.

Things are about to go A-RY!

“What is wrong with the assholes in 2012” -Slip

why tf is nobody talking abt how that sincara rana edit looked kinda clean tho?

I hope this means that they will do more of the WWE 12 universe mode soon. Feels like forever since we got any of that or any 2k23 GM mode content.

As someone who also pushed A-Ry in their WWE Universe, this is beautiful to see and makes me feel like I’ve connected with Newlegacyinc on a spiritual level.

That hype package made me want to sign A-ry to my company in 2k

That Alex Riley “Monster” video package…….perfection 🤧

Never thought I'd hear the term "bumpmeister" in 2023, but here we are.

SAY IT TO MY FAAAAAAACE

I can't believe how faithful to a Sin Cara match this game was.

Y'all gotta continue this

So when can we expect Alex Riley's long-awaited Deadlock debut?

It was so awesome seeing this live...and unfortunately experiencing the heartbreak alongside the boys of Alex Riley not becoming a double champ in one night.

4:11 *has PTSD flashbacks to Punk v Carlito*

THE First 0:35 are the best time of my life 😂Johnnys laughs is sooo funny 1:25

riley the miracle kid! the mirecal kid!

That hype package. ❤

When a game from 2011 can make me care about and regret a wrestler from that time not being used properly, some good player created narratives there

We’re really underestimating the damage that that SOB Dibiase did with the sledgehammer on the 3 count. A-Ry needs to make him pay!

9:04 I like how everyone, even the AI had the same reaction

Literally clicked so fast when I saw Riley on the cover ... Dead ass my all time favorite underrated wrestler

I was very saddened by the fact that we didn't see an appearance from Kae Malik Shibaz Austin.

I like to think the game eventually caught on to nL's in-jokes by the time it decided to have Cody do a random run-in, considering the whole running joke with Cody in the WWE PLE sims a little while ago

What an amazing moment the A-Ry 'Monster' video is.

Yoooo that promo package actually ruled 😂

Shawn Michaels and his backstage politicing once again keeping the up and comers down

I just realized that we were all amazed when they “Changed” the logo for WWE 2k23 with the special font on the “23” now I realized that it’s just the same as “WWE’12” 🤣🤣

Honestly i love yall doing these with superstars that're in one game!

Like 10/31, Fuckbuster, Oglehand, and Slip ( reverse or Float over DDT), the Atomic Drop shall now always be the "Babymaker" to me

SAY IT TO MY FACE!

We do not deserve these Beefy edits. That video package is up there with the Daniel Bryan Wrestlemania one.

*THREE?!*

need episode THREE IMMEDIATELY 🙂

Yeah, a good video package can make literally anything feel compelling af 😂

I need to sign Alex Riley to my caw company now

Would love to see you guys do more of this! Those WWE '12 Universe Mode streams were awesome.

I'm stuck at home with a 5 day quarantine, so I needed some sweet nL content, to make it more bareable. Thanks to beefy and the rest of the nL boys for the content. ✌️💙

Holy shit Beefy, I was NOT ready for that video package to hit so damn hard.

As much as I understand the nL guys being sick of Universe Mode (because of how broken the game mode can be and boring at times) and they've got other good projects, their UM content is just peak wrestling gaming content. From the original streams in 2k14, to the Wrestlemania show in 2k18, to these more recent WWE '12 UM streams - this is just so fun to watch and follow. UM and Johnny playing Career Modes will forever be GOATed

I hope that means we get more 2k12 universe mode 😊

if riley saw this im sure he'd be happy he's appreciated. ppl underrate tf out of him, he was good. give him his cake, he did wtv he had to and it was fucking executed perfectly.

I can't believe they pushed rage.

That was an amazing watch! Loved the promo package editing, was honestly incredible!

Seeing Vader being listed as “recovery is hopeless” and then “the big show” had me on the floor, and then Shawn Michaels Vs. Micheal Cole right after was the cherry on top

A MONSTER A MONSTER

I think I started watching your content right around the time this game was the big thing, and honestly seeing you guys playing it after all this time is so cool I love it, shoutout fr !

I can see why Alex Riley is James’s hero

the monster video brought a tear to my eye 😓😓😓

P U S H R A G E ! ! ! This brings me back nice WWE 2k14 nL Universe memories. Cept without the poorly aged early 2010s humor. lol

Bruh this is so fire...amazing

brock missing 4 chairshots and then throwing the chair out of the ring in frustration sent me

That montage was amazing.

I'm surprised Jawnny never had Stone Cold say: _"I said that man's name was- _*_WHAT?"_*

love you guys hahahhahahahahhaha y'all literally brighten up my day

Another amazing video package

The Atomic Drop: the New NL Special.

Riley wins the next Royal Rumble mark my word. the A-RY train is going to wrestlemania

I don’t think I’ve ever been more hyped about watching a custom buildup package. A-RY has won my heart forever ❤️ beautiful work boys 👏🏻

Between Jawwny & Slip...I don't know who's laugh is the best? 😂

Alex has actually returned too wrestling maybe a drew McIntyre level comeback is on the books

SAY IT TO MY FACE

Great Video Does anyone know the cover for 'Monster' and where to find it?

I haven't seen HBK be such a menace in so long thanks boys

'12 was good, but '13 was a masterpiece.

Slip and Stone Cold as all-time commentary duo

Cant wait for more wwe 12!!

First like here. Always loved these guys. First exposed to them in All Stars and Create-A-Story. Brought me joy after joy.

I’ll never forget getting this game for the WII on Christmas

I popped hard for the Matt McMuscles cameo

Let this continue

I want to see Michael Cole take the championship away from Shawn Michaels in WWE '12 universe mode, he's freaking deserve it! Jawnny, your laugh made my day, every time. 😀
