      Also, fun fact: WWF later got renamed into WWE because the World Wildlife Fund for Nature (the other WWF) threatened to sue them for sharing the same acronym. Reminds me of a parody T-shirt I once saw that features the WWF logo with two pandas fighting each other (one of them was holding a folding chair).

      I’m confused by his not recognizing any of the people. All but two for sure were in WWF in the 80s and 90s. Possibly the last one too. Unsure who the bottom right one is. But it’s Dustin Rhodes (Goldust), Vader, Rick Rhoode, Ric Flair, Johnny B Badd (Marc Mero), Rick Steiner, Sting, Brian Pilman, Scott Steiner, Ron Simmons (Farooq), Ricky Steamboat, and I’m unsure who the last one is. I think it’s Greg valentine… but not sure

I know it's hard, but he *always* had tons of that in the earlier episodes (up until #80 or so), that's what got me into them. But the newer ones either focus on a storyline or just finding new ways to curse. I still watch them, but without much enthusiasm. Don't get me wrong, I'm still thankful for all the enjoyment James brought me over the past 10 years.

      But James uses LJN's copyrighted material in his video with no permit and makes money off of RUclips so he should be thankful to LJN. Just as HAPPY SOFT used Jackie Chan's copyrighted images with no permit for their game lol

    The fact that you still rake in about 1 milli views average per video shows testament to the quality and consistency of your work. Amazing work for real, I don’t say thank you enough.

    "AVGN" should make a video on the Castlevania clones and imitators, Getsu Fuuma Den and Holy Diver are great examples.

    I had the Royal Rumble one and the Wrestlemania one by LJN. I actually like them at the time. Pro Wrestling tag team wasn't too bad once you got use to it. The B was so you could change your attack after you initiated the punch. That's all I remember to it.

    11:00 I agree with the Nerd. Why couldn't it be Capcom? I actually found a little easter egg on extreme rules today on PPV. There was a fan holding a message poster saying "Why did you let LJN make your your games in the 90s?" It was after the triple threat match for the intercontinental championship.

  • @MudkipzUlike

    Not that anyone could possibly care, but the wrestlers on the WCW SuperBrawl menu were in order: Dustin Rhodes, Vader, Ravishing Rick Rude, Ric Flair, Johnny B. Badd, Rick Steiner, Sting, Flyin' Brian Pillman, Scott Steiner, Ron Simmons, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, and Barry Windham.
    And yes, it is sad that I automatically knew all this after a couple seconds of staring at the screen. Been a huge wrestling nerd since I was a small child.
    Will agree that even with that knowledge, the menu still sucks ass as the casual fan/gamer won't know who the fuck anyone is.
