Going on 10 years with WrestleZone
Sometimes, the fun part about the professional wrestling video games is seeing the computer characters perform the ring entrances of the real-life characters. It's funny, and we sorta take it for granted. But when you stop to think about it, those entrance poses become as much a part of that character as the theme music, finishing maneuver, and catch phrase. It's part of who they are.
And a few stand out over time. I want to know who has the best, ever.
Here's my list of nominees:
Stone Cold Steve Austin. Hits each turnbuckle, occassionally shoving the ref out of the way. Arms in the air, often with the middle fingers up.
Randy Orton. The wingspan. Kinda like an uneven Jesus pose, it basically says "here I am, bask in my greatness."
Hulk Hogan. The shirt rip. I swear some fans bought tickets just to see him do that.
Shawn Michaels. The old school is the side lunge into the front double biceps pose. So synonymous with him, it was the cover of his autobiography.
Batista. Not sure why, but he became 10 times cooler to me when he started timing his pyro and music with that machine gun turret move he does. His entrance gets people FIRED UP.
Kane. Arms up. Arms down. Fire everywhere.
AJ Styles. The man who inspired this thread. I was at the gym doing legs yesterday, and when a buddy of mine started walking towards me, I did the sweatshirt hood flip. Always liked that.
Rob Van Dam. The double thumbs while mouthing "R-V-D." Fans loved to imitate that.
Bret Hart. Jacket open, both arms out asking for the respect of the crowd. A great segue into giving away the pink sunglasses.
Who are your favorites, and more important, who did I miss???
