Earliest WWF game I plaid was Just Bring It so if that was the Aki engine then yea. The gameplay and engine is one thing, having the wrestlers is another.

No it ended after No Mercy

The closest thing to it were the first two Def Jam fighting games on the PS2

That engine was meant for the Playstation Smackdown games but Yuke's took over

This was the GOAT and WOAT at the same time. The button combo moves were trash but the create a wrestler and create an entrance was :banderas:

The career mode was no slouch either:ehh:.

Starting from the house shows to the legit ones was revolutionary for it's time beyond the ticking timebomb ass codes to do a irish whip:picard:

real talk this game was significant in my childhood, the gameplay was meh but the commentary, wrestler sound bites, and having access to entrance themes was amazing to me

Did anyone even read the article :deadrose:

Yukes is clamoring for change but are stuck doing what their publisher/distributor, 2K, wants them to do. They were so frustrated they split their team and have started working on their own wrestling ip to explore all the ideas and concepts 2K haven't allowed them to develop, and to create competition in the marketplace that 2K would have to reckon with. 2K wanted them to stop, they refused, and that's why they split. This isn't good news for WWE games, but I'm sure AEW is on the phone right now interested in that other IP they're developing.
