Action Arcade Wrestling & Its Insane Community Creations 

Cool to see one of the creators here. Thinking of making this his official backstory, because that would be both cool and hilarious

Just out of curiosity, what does the "J" stand for? Jacuzzi? 😂

I always wish I could thank the people who made some if the awesome character creations, so thank you! There are many awesome ones!

Would've been pretty cool if the "AAW" wrestlers actually had their own lore and backstories. That's probably my only complaint. Like say, The Manhandler was essentially "The Ultimate Warrior" during the prime of his career, whose rivaled against Teddy "Titanium" Idol for the World Championship Title. Kinda like an homage between Rocky and Apollo Creed. Ben Eiteef being a soviet MMA fighter with a criminal past, and considering they gave him an actual date tattooed on his chest *(5-16-09/ May 16th 2009)* perhaps this could've been the same day he was convicted for his crime, which he constantly has to remind himself of, as he tries to turn over a new leaf. Hoping to never make the same mistake again. Biohazard being a crazed nuclearpowered supervillain who's attempting to start his very own *WorldWar3* with powerbombs and suplexes, and who's possibly responsible for creating the wrestler, Codename Scales. A secret weapon gone rogue. The Haunted could've been a wrestler who died in the ring, and has now returned as a ghoulish fiend after being resurrected by Forsaken, taking his revenge upon on AAW for allowing him to die unceremoniously. (Sorta an homage to Owen Hart, but with design similarities to "Crow"Sting.) To even The Blue Serpent being a masked vigilante of Mexico and longtime enemy to The Krimson Klaw. Stuff like that would've definitely been fun to see within the game itself. Even if it was just on a simple Bio Screen. Also, hats off to you BigAl for your creations! All of them were pretty spot on.

He's already done so. He goes by the name of Lexis King rather than his family name, though.

Frankly I thought it was a reference to Timmy Turner's dad in the pencil costume. Of all the pro wrestling parodies, that one still cracks me up.

I miss them every day. Was attending it 2009-2016.

@@SartorialisticSavage65 my ex girlfriend was always there as well. When I worked with RCW here in Maryland, we worked with Quack for sometime before we folded ourselves. They were a fun bunch of people, I did errands for many of them when we had them at our show.

meh just indy garbage show with memes and indy talents dress as luchadors . cp munk (necrobutcher) gives me chuckle tho

@@LordDeBahs No. It was much more than that.

@@LordDeBahs I wouldn't call them Indy garbage. They brought in styles what you wouldn't see outside of the states of TV. They had their fanbase and sure it was kiddied but it was more charming than just corny kid friendly.

I saw the Ultimate Muscle characters, too! A real selling point!

Buy me a copy

This game was fun

This is why I'm still playing WWE 2k19

Was honestly surprised finding out this game's "series" was actually on the Xbox 360 Indie Games tab, along with its sequel. Simpler times back then...

Don't forget Grey Dog Software's stuff. He's still producing "Total Extreme Wrestling". I still play "Total Extreme Wrestling 2005" and "Extreme Warfare Revenge"! Both of those games are great with real world databases added to them, and making new databases for them is a snap. I always found TEW a bit on the expensive side for what it is. I remember playing TEW back in the early 90's! I downloaded it from a dial-up BBS. That's how old that game is. And it doesn't look like it's physically changed much since then. The dev seems to have just built addons for it.

@@BlackburnBigdragon That is TEW lol. I used the shorthand. Latest iteration being TEW 2020. The Cornellverse is legendary.

There's Prowrestling Sim on steam and Journey of wrestling a free browser game.

@@Hyde_Hill Oh my god. You know... when i posted that, I hadn't had my coffee yet. Hahaha!!! I feel like an idiot. I don't know why, but it clicked in my head that we were talking about "TNM7" and somehow I confused TNM7 with TEW. Haha! Oh well. It's got to be a sign that I'm experiencing early dementia or something. Either that or... lack of coffee and the brain wasn't firing right.

I played a lot of EWR. Would love to cover it, I'm just not sure how it would translate well into a video. Will keep it in mind though.

2k14 up there too

@@ryankeefe2102 Also, SD VS RAW 2007, as arguably the last great SD VS RAW game (minus the addition of WWECW a year later).

Where would I get a download of these games? EWR is for a pc so I couldn't use that .

The only big caveat with the Switch version is that you wont be able to download Nintendo based creations. Nintendo is so protective of their copyright that they only allowed a Switch version of the game to be ported if they locked all nintendo characters from being downloaded.

@@BigAl2k6 I'd probably only be downloading wrestlers anyway to be fair. Thanks for the info though.

If the game had an online mode, would've been pretty fun gifting extra copies to friends for an ultimate royal-athon.

AAW 3, (1/2) is what it seems like imo. Which is funny if you compare this version to Chikara, it's almost uncanny what stayed and what's been replaced. Such as the two default arenas changing their logos, to the entire roster getting replaced, to even Arcade Gauntlet Mode not being available in the older Chikara version. Just found that fascinating.

Chikara Pro, in a nutshell it’s a wrestling stable where it’s roster contains people who created their own wrestling personas to express themselves in the ring alongside with other pro wrestlers of different countries to create a unity against modern day (hipster) corporate pseudo-wrestling stables like WWE.
