The Unoffical Channel Awesome Royal Rumble Match
Using WWE 12 on the Xbox 360, I created 20 different personalities from TGWTG and BT to duke it out in a Royal Rumble match, Enjoy

This was a ton of fun to watch, and a smaller version with the ladies of TGWTG would be great to see. ![]()
I know it's moot at this point, but I do have a couple constructive criticisms in case you choose to do this again, like as an annual thing or whatever. First: more reviewers! I don't know how many characters you can have in a Rumble in WWE12 (I know it's 30 in Smackdown vs Raw 2011), but I kept my fingers crossed to see Kyle Kallgren, Sadpanda and Welshy. I'm not bummed (you got Todd in there, and Todd is my favorite reviewer on the site), but more faces would have been nice. ![]()
Second: Maybe dub some intro and victory music in there, using the reviewers' themes (Nostalgia Critic Anthem, Ready to Roll by Jet Black Stare for Film Brain, Believe it or Not by Joey Scarsbury for the Cinema Snob, Benzaie's Gay Dance, et cetera) to give the match a little more punch.
Other than that, there's not much else to say. Again, I enjoyed watching this. ![]()
Man, I didn't think it was going to be that entertaining honestly, but I started to watch and couldn't stop. Rooting for Film Brain personally (not gonna give away the winner here). You should totally find a way to inform the winner of this at least.
OMG thank you this was awesome even though there was no Rap Critic or a few others that were mentioned in other replies. Please do the gals of Channel Awesome next.
I'm just gunna call it now, Dark Nella FTW.
Awesome. Just a little bummed that these games don't keep in the entrance themes as they do in the actual Royal Rumble. And I echo the wishes for a female producer match, although one would probably have to dip into the "3 faces of Foley" rule again to hit 20 (Nella's and Elisa's aliases come to mind).
Hahaha that was fun. Didn't think it would be as entertaining as it was.
A bit of advice though: I don't know if you scripted the commentary or not. I believe you improvised. While I think you did a very good job (definately better than I would have), there were some lines that you just used a bit too much ('Hanging on for dear life' comes to mind ^^). As for media, I think either the apropriate show's theme song (if available) or national anthem or something defining would've been awesome for the winner (that was quite spoiler free
).
Other than that, again it was pretty enjoyable and a very cool idea! Really looking forward for another instalment.
Very entertaining and wow does your play by play voice sound just like Joey Styles. I was hoping you'd let out an "OH MY GOD" at some point!
If I had any complaints it would be Benzaie and 8 Bit Mickey were too tall, and the match was too short, I would have loved to have seen a 30 man RR. And yes I agree with the others, we want a divas (female producers) RR with the 3 faces of Foley rule in effect! And my money is on Maven of the Eventide (aka Elisa Hansen) for the win! Would love to see her and Dark Nella as the last two but we'll see what happens ![]()
One thing I'd like to remark on: I'm not sure I would've maxed out everybody's stats, as it seems as though somebody like Paw probably wouldn't be as capable of lifting as somebody like Phelous, and stuff like that. The characters could've been more personalized if they excelled in certain areas and fell back in others, and it would've added a "wild card" element to the match.
Years ago there were versions of Smackdown vs Raw (2007 i think) that had weight restrictions. so crusierweights and females could not lift guys like The Big Show or Great Khali. regular guys could but with a bit of a strain in their animation. THQ for some odd reason decided to remove it.
Yes! Please do one with the female producers also! This was great, and I would love to see it yearly
