EDIT 2: Does Bryan not drink? I imagine being friends with Punk and Cabana he probably doesn't often if at all, which is fine. But look at the way he holds that Miller in the video. That's a really awkward way to hold a beer.

Bryan is Pacific Northwest as gently caress, there's no way he doesn't have strong opinions on craft beer.

Wasn't he strictly vegan until his doctors told him that the diet combined with his lifestyle would kill him?

He actually went vegan due to a health issue (not saying that was the proper medical response)

Bryan, 32, went vegan in 2009 after suffering three staff(sic) infections over the course of a year. “My immune system is really weak and the idea was that meats take more energy for my body to process,” he says, “so if you stop eating meat then you have more energy to fight of bacteria

He quit the diet a few years later due to developing a soy allergy:

“I became a vegan for health issues and then I developed a soy intolerance,” he said in an interview with WrestlingInc.com. “So, I’ve been getting really sick lately. it’s a very unmanly way to stop being vegan, to have a soy intolerance. [Laughs.] But I was getting sick all the time, and they were trying to figure out what it was and they found out it was the soy.

He doesn't drink. This is really obvious on Total Divas, where everyone is drinking huge glasses of red wine and DB is sipping a water bottle.

If I recall correctly he also didn't take painkillers until very recently.

It's listing title reigns. When it highlights Daniel Bryan it lists the dates he won the world titles, same for Paige / Divas Title and Ambrose / US Title. Balor just happens to be reigning currently.

No. These days PC versions of games budgeted for consoles only come out once all the DLC is released so they can act like they're giving you a deal.

WWE always goes with the wrong format or outdated brand to bandwagon onto, like Tout or Tapout. So it's more likely we'd see 2k and Sega co-publish WWE vs Eternal Champions.

It is gonna be all new commentary because now they will have JBL yelling at Cole and Lawler. So get ready to have even more unbearable commentary. I also just realized they are going to have to a whole lot of new ring introductions now that Justin Roberts is gone. I'm guessing it'll be Lillian and not Eden or JoJo though.

I don't trust them to actually record new lines for Cole and Lawler. They'll just insert JBL's lines around them.

Actually you should all go back to playing SVR 06 for longer than half an hour because it's genuinely great

The PC versions need commentary mods kind of like the voice packs you could give to bots in the old Unreal Tournament games. Let me have Tom Servo and Bender at the desk.

I figured that 2K is still working out how to handle the Hogan situation in Immortals and Supercard.

The answer is to replace all Hogans with Pipers, of course.
