The Invisible Boy Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 It sounds interesting, I'd give it a watch and see what it's like but I'm guessing it won't be around long as it seems like one of those side projects that just fizzles away after a while. When I saw those pictures of the different teams it made me think of WWE Crush Hour, which despite a lot of people being critical about I actually thought it was a pretty fun game, I might dust it off and have a few games on it after work.

stingersplash Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 oh it sounds like a disaster - and it seems right now the only 4 guys they have employed are the 4 captains. Â also those first 2 matches sound stupid to me and will make guys look weak as fuck.

alanchiz Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 oh it sounds like a disaster - and it seems right now the only 4 guys they have employed are the 4 captains. also those first 2 matches sound stupid to me and will make guys look weak as fuck.  <-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler 5 minute iron man matches - total waste of time and poor sonjay getting beat 4-0 in 5 minutes? what is this, a video game?  [close spoiler] ");document.close();  To be fair - theres no point in announcing any more names at this stage - Its just a pilot, and if it doesnt get picked up then the other people would never be seen or used. the 4 team captains for the pilot is fine, and if it does get commissioned, then they can use the reveal of the further names to get people to actually watch the show, rather than announcing everyone up front.  It does sound interesting, it sounds like it is something that needs to be watched to be appreciated, and its at least trying to be different. To be honest, Im not too sure where the 'Wheels' part comes into play at all (Other than it trying to get onto a racing channel) - Maybe there will be side stories/vignettes filmed to account for that. Maybe there will even be some sort of 'side matches', like races or something, that dont take place in the arena.  Theres certainly scope for things that can be done with such a vague 'wrestling, but not actually wrestling' format.  <-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler 4 falls in a 5 minute 'iron man' match does indeed sound ridiculous though. Again, unless they are planning to break it up into edited parts, intercut into other footage.  [close spoiler] ");document.close(); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny McBride Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 It's a bit of a Southern Strategy, but the kind of people who watch NASCAR are the same kind of people that watch wrasslin'. If it's something along the lines of there being a team of cars and drivers attached to each team of wrestlers, competing seperately but being in each others' corners/pits and cutting promos together with semi-worked rivalries between and within teams worked into the angles on the wrestling part of the show, it has a bit of potential. Not much, most likely, but at this stage of the game anything is worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
