*Slight correction, the move Lashley is using is actually the Yokosuka Cutter, not the Big Ending. Forgive me, i've not stopped editing since last night, my eyes are fried* 😥

Unless I didn't see it, I believe that the Yokosuka Cutter is just the new version Bobby Lashley has used for the Dominator, presumably since it's a safer move to take in this form.

The Move Bobby Lashley used wasnt "the big ending" it was an entirely different move, Has no relations to Big E move because of the way it used. Bobby Lashley has used that move alot of times sense his first return and forward.

That was not the big ending, for the big ending he picks the opponent up like a powerslam then drops down
I love how it looks like they actually tried with the retro versions of superstars instead of just pasting there face on an old attire
That Shawn Michaels, with the Red Chaps! I’m definitely using, cause I didn’t like how they had his hairline in 2K20! Great Vid Smack! I haven’t commented on your vid in a while buddy! Oh, that’s not Big E’s finisher, lashley does a Modified version of it! He does it in real life too!
I’m so happy that they have Smackdown referee shirt
I really wanted Rock to have his right arm tattoo but i guess it’s because he didn’t have it the last time he appeared in WWE
Heads up, the Cyber Sunday 2008 set is actually made up a giant cell phone, as WWE was high on mobile voting back then.
This is a great start(and maybe where they should have been a couple months ago?)but I am hyped up by them a tally giving some gameplay and info...now they gotta keep going, showing more features and some arenas and talk about how the game works, mygm, etc. If they do all these things right thos game could be off the chain 😎👌
Seeing some footage of the Rey Rey showcase makes me wish they added his matchup against Sabu ECW one night stand 06. I know the arena has been used before but it'd be great to have the tights attire for Rey and getting Sabu.

One thing I hope they keep from 2k20 is the weapon wheel customization or even expand on it having more than 2 tables in an extreme rules match was sick
Exciting stuff, thank you!
This video has me pumped! Smacktalks, thanks for your coverage! I was wondering, the older video showing some of the creation suite, I noticed each body type had 4 squares under the weight class name. in each body type there is a different square selected. I am guessing but could this mean each weight class has possibly 4 different body types to choose from? What do you think man? Thanks again for the awesome coverage!
Such a minor thing but I always wanted victory scenes with the champions having their own victory scene with the title. And all the ones with a generic victory scene with the title
Thanks for all the info on wwe 2k22 ❤️
These were amazing details can't wait to get the game!
I can honestly say I’m actually interested in this game. Thanks for the updates !!!
What it boils down to is whether all of these new features work or not, lots of thought and care were clearly put into making this game something fresh and not the same Smackdown game we've gotten for the last 15 years. For that, I can definitely respect the devs for that. If we are starting with a wrestling game that is actually FUN TO PLAY, that is a massive improvement. The visuals look leaps and bounds better, and it's not just the visual improvements, but things have been FIXED that needed to be fixed for over a decade now. Long coats flow instead of sticking to characters legs, while not perfect, hair actually behaves somewhat like hair. I am really excited for them to show off the creation suite. My hope is that there is enough improvements visually for CAW models that will make this the game for the CAW community for the foreseeable future.
Incredible updates man, and breakdown on what's happening in trailers and clips for the game. Its Looks real good. Major thanks for all the work and hints going on. Think the game is a huge jump from the 2k20 disaster👍
I’m really excited for the new wwe I have been waiting for so long bro
Some of the entrances look so realistic that it's uncanny! They really improved the lighting in this game!
This Game Looks Clean and Promising ☺️ I hope we can see spl guest referee,war games ,3 stages of hell and more more and matches types I'm eagerly waiting for that game 🥰

When are they revealing the new game mode. If they are bringing something back I hope it’s a good match type. I don’t mind mixed match being brought back it’s just very boring at times. Honestly special referee should be the highest at least in my opinion to be brought back cause here’s a convincing argument has there ever been a year of wwe, where the special referee match type has not been used more than at least 5 times. Hell even more probably because the match in general helps push controversy in story lines. Brings more creative to multiplayer and also it’s fun screwing over my brother in matches when he pisses me off😂. I put it on hardest difficulty, he fights Andre and I just set up weapon spots. Lastly the special referee isn’t a match that would suffer from the PG era. Maybe take the stupid Laurenities garbage out. 🤷♂️

Haven't seen anybody talk about this but the lighting in the Rey vs Eddie match is just mind blowing. It looks amazing. The rest of the game as well, of course, but the lighting on that match looks incredibly real.
I wonder If the steel steps move when being irish whipped in to them I don't know why they ever took that away.

This is a lot of information for right now I can’t wait for more
Is their any updates on burial matchs or first blood? Also special ref matchs online?
I wanna be able to do a finisher through the table without actually having to be on top of it
I was waiting for war games arena tbh was hyped that they gonna add it in a game
All I wanna know is do wrestlers still teleport to the entrance way or do they actually walking through the curtain on entrances
I love watching Smacktalks because he always gives honest info not just opinions and bs taglines. Unlike a lot of KZreadrs.
One of the change I hope they made is if you out a hat example taker hat on your caw and use cena in ring e trance that he actually throws the hat or if we give a robe or jacket with charlott entrance that they remove the jacket or AJ remove the hoods so if you make an alternate for him hand put him in his 2k20 outfit he doesn't keep the hood
I wanna know if they improved create an arena like adding new parts.
Graphics looks awesome
The actual wrestling/combat looks a lot cleaner and more fluid, looks like they’ve turned it into more of a traditional fighting game. A big thing is the hit detection, which even in 2K19, could be really frustrating, while this looks like it works perfectly due to the new animation system. Though I’m not huge on the camera and I do wonder how it’s going to work in multi person matches, it would be nice to knowing If there are different camera options like in the NBA 2K games. If they can keep all of the customisation of 2K19 with this new promising gameplay engine than this game looks like it could be a great step forward for the franchise, god I hope it’s good

they should add voices when u do promos or anything like that , and you should be able to have your title with you , and they should add mixed championship match and to be able to fight during promos and to be able for other superstars to come in the promo.. another one is being able to do a open challenge and much more , really just want to to be able to do everything that you can do in irl.
I’m getting this on my birthday thx for the news

Are these graphics and gameplay from current gen or new gen
Honestly some of this game play footage that I’ve seen looks just absolutely beautiful. Potentially rivaling the most beautiful game I’ve played Arkham knight. Possibly we shall see
I hope the CAW entrances are like the actual wrestlers like if you have a mask and use Asuka entrance you should be able to take it off

I just wish WWE and 2k would add a WarGames match to the game finally. It's definitely possible. Check out Wrestling Revolution 3D and the War Games match they have in there. If they can do it then 2K can as well. I'd also love to see it go back to each character having the ability to have at least 2 or 3 different attire types and them not take up the CAW spots! Would love to see over a 100 CAW spots available again. Not to mention I'd love to see either lots more Legends or finally a game of just Legends!
Damn I might have to use a old school arena, or make a custom arena with old school lighting and fog. Man the clip of Kane VS Mysterio and Eddie VS Mysterio looked dang near photo realistic, they looked way better then the modern arenas. Not that the superstars in the modern arenas looked bad, but you could tell they had that slightly plastic 2K20 kind of look to them. But the superstars featured in the old school arenas, man under that lighting and fog they looked mind blowing.
They should add going under the rope into the royal rumble it's been done so much should be in the game or atleast a kofi style save ability to like jump to a announcement table and get back in

Since it comes out in March, when do you think is the cut off date for scanning, arenas, etc? Previously when the games launched in October/November, the cut off was around SummerSlam (August)
I hope we get new stage sets for create an arena.
I’m worried about that “special meter” Idk how I feel about payback being included there and how exactly it will work. My main concern is you won’t be able to have control and call the match how you want it to go. 2k16 - 2k20 had a lot of issues and had gotten stale but I still felt I had enough control to have epic simulation matches.

Anyone know if create a finisher is in the game? I used to spend hours doing mine, and it was one of my favourite features in a wwe game ever. Adds a level of personalisation to your CAW that truly makes him/her your own.
My biggest concern is do the championships glitch through the clothes and do clothes glitch through the skin just little details. I would also love way more commentary added especially for certain matches with superstars like if they’re rivals. Looks great so far though
See i told people that even the people who got released are still in the game there is literally a Mickie James t shirt in the crowd during the Kane and Rey match and a Nia Jax shirt as well in edge’s entrance and a Jeff hardy t shirt
i believe the referee texture was actually in past WWE games as the security guard npc Character that you could use for story designer or in universe etc
They were super generous with that hair they gave Shawn Michaels on that cutscene 😂😂😂😂
Macho Man still looks a little off to me, I mean anything is better than his 2K20 model at least...that shit looked like one of the devs kids made a CAW of him and they put it the game for some reason. They also mentioned that Championships have upgrades to them as well, not just in the designs. I really want to see this in action as one of my biggest complaints for years now has been the shoddy work on things like belt physics or the way it bends at the side plates. I'm also hoping they managed to fix the warping problems when the belt can't decide if it needs to go under or over a jacket, or if you modify a CAW's waist line, the belt gets way too big and starts to hover over them.
I love the new lighting on the models
I love how he says move thief while bobby is doing the dominator, but that doesn't matter
I would like to know on what device the footage is shot. Is this the PS5 version gonna be this footage and PS4 and PC a downgrade of it.
