Over in the WWE thread, someone posted that HHH told Ryback that John Cena was the last marquee name wrestling would ever have. We all talk about WWE being focused on "the Brand" over superstars. Is AEW always going to be seen as a competing "brand" to WWE, or is there a chance for a legit superstar to become a new household name ala Hogan and Austin?

I don't think it'll ever get to that point again but if someone (hangman) did get extremely over and was approaching that level, I don't think AEW would kneecap them (intentionally) like WWE would.

Hangman or Starks seem like the ones most likely to eventually pull off mainstream success, even if I don’t think that actually exists anymore.

I think AEW as a brand has to reach some saturation point before it can be the primordial goop that a household name comes from, to that end presuming we're on that trajectory i think MJF and Hangman could easily

And to that end, I don’t think any wrestling will ever rise to the level of popularity it had in the late 90s and early aughts.

Hangman would make a great guest star as a bad guy on that Sammo Hung show Martial Law, or an alien from the a cowboy planet on Deep Space Nine. Total attitude era level star

if jack perry's entire skillset for connecting with people is to be the plucky underdog who can get mad in the middle of a good match then he's going to be super over but will never be anywhere near part of the zeitgeist. no idea if that's all he's got though since he hasn't been asked/allowed to go beyond that. and maybe no one can anyway so i'm not trying to poo poo on him

And the media world is so different, it's hard to imagine that any wrestler can reach that level of recognition now without a much more significant external catalyst. Short of someone being cast, and then crushing their role, in a Marvel film or a good Star War the only thing I can think of doing it would be if the AEW video game just blows the doors off and becomes a massive crossover hit, which opens the floodgates into AEW and lets the star power flow back out.

I just hope they get the AEW game out on the current console generation, but I’m not optimistic at this point, never could get into Fire Pro, especially once you had to start buying DLC for all your CAWs to work.

the ps5 and XSX are both confirmed backwards compatible (the disc-drive versions at least) so it's not a complete loss/waste to develop for current gen. this is gonna be capcom's first "sports" franchise so it will be interesting to see if they do a yearly model or a legacy title with dlc updates issued periodically to have an updating roster. the way they treat fighting games seems to point to the second model, and i don't necessarily hate it, especially if the dlc wrestlers (im in straight theory mode here) wind up being legends of the ring instead of holding back vital roster members to ensure you'll sell character packs (ie no hangman at launch, in dlc wave 1, proud n powerful in wave 2, etc)

the install base of last-gen consoles is usually enough to get companies to release their games on the older hardware for an extra year or even two unless it's meant to be an exclusive system seller type of game. i'm pretty sure ports are also the easiest they have ever been given the hardware this gen and next gen use. i wouldn't expect a game to come out next year though really. i dunno

The next gen consoles are fully backwards compatible, it’s just that obviously any discs you own won’t be able to put into the digital only versions since there’s no drive (and neither platform holder will say “oh yeah, BC is 100%” because then one game turns out to not work and suddenly someone tries to start a class action over false advertising).

i still usually wait 2-3 years into a console generation before buying one to make sure the hardware issues are worked out/the price has dropped by the time i get one. plus by then whichever console i get has a pretty well established library. i dunno which way im gonna lean for next gen, its definitely gonna depend on the games. i think i lean ps5 but nothing's locked in

its weird how the dreamcast is considered a failure (really its only a failure due to the distrust in the market sega earned during their constant waffling between the 16 and 32 bit transition era and the poisonous relationship between sega of japan and sega of america and their inability to communicate) but the console itself is beloved seemingly universally by gamers. it was def my favorite console of its gen even though it died early and it did kill me on the inside to see the good dreamcast games get ported to other consoles and get ignored

It's definitely happening and Aubrey Edwards is project manager because that was her career once upon a time. I don't know that we have much more concrete than that though.

The dreamcast sold less units than the saturn. I've even seen a saturn. Which apparently had a thousand games. But yeah, every gamer I knew back then loved the Dreamcast. Even the PC gamers in my extended circles did, since it had arcade stuff they craved. Sold sub 10 million units. The N64 is considered a massive success but sold half the units of the NES and one third the units of the PS1. poo poo's just weird.

i think i am piecing together some hot info. first, this tweet https://twitter.com/RefAubrey/status/1204103679151751169 next, this quote:In an appearance on Talk Is Jericho, Edwards confirmed an AEW game is in the development stage and she’s one of the people working on it. “We’re very, very early on. There’s a lot of things that we’re talking about,” she revealed. to me it sounds like aubrey edwards is the 'project manager' of aew projects including the video game that they are going to pitch to someone or some poo poo. idk how you can be more than that without working for the game company. so i bet they don't really have anything truly developed but i'm scared to @ people on twitter
