WWE Superstar Xavier Woods BURIES WWE 2K18 in his Top 10 Games of 2017

Puts Fire Pro Wrestling World in his Top 10 article, doesn't include WWE 2K18.

And this:

Fire Pro Wrestling World

Austin: It's been years since a new version dropped and this one definitely didn't disappoint. What gets me about this game is the awesome animations mixed with the retro look. Definitely one of the most fun wrestling franchises out there.

when was the last time a WWE 2K game was worthy of a top 10 list that wasn't negative?

 

[Kabuki Waq]

awesome

 

[Abriael]

What part of not mentioning a game equates to "BURYING" it?

Xavier Woods is a massive gamer. He likes a ton of gamers. He also loves retro games, so it makes sense that he'd like Fire Pro Wrestling World. Not including a specific wrestling game in his top 10 games certainly doesn't seem like an intentional shot.

 

[Cordy]

Austin just worked you and still making sure he gets a check. He said "one of" to save his ass.

He's a student of the buzinezz.

 

[Lashley]

He's right tbh, WWE games are playable, but hardly ever fun

Never.

 

[Ponchito]

I missed the part where he buries it.

It's the fact that WWE is his employer, so you'd think he'd praise it at any point possible (or be forced to) to make him and the company look good.

Better analogy: Imagine if I were a Microsoft employee, and I made a public Top 10 video with it littered with Playstation exclusives.

 

[Lashley]

I'd hardly say he buried it too, but whatever

 

[Deleted member 7462]

Don't get worked into a shoot, marks. You should be working, not getting worked, brothers.

 

[JEH]

I wouldn't say he buried it.

 

[Deleted member 9317]

Since when did he change his name on Twitter to Austin Creed??

Let me breakout my Steiner Math *puts on reading glasses*

Woods was given the task of creating a Top 10 Games of 2017 List

Woods decides to put Fire Pro on the list

Woods decides to not put WWE 2K18 on the list

Through transitive property, Woods has declared that WWE 2K18 is not the best wrestling game released this year.

BURIED

The numbers don't lie, and they spell future endeavor for you.

 

[Salty Rice]

Not mentioning it is not burying.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Lol He didn't say anything about it. DMczaf got WORKED.

 

[Loggjaw]

 

[ApeEscaper]

The 2K WWE games suck

[Brass Body Dave]

I appreciate you trying your best DMczaf

You tried

 

[Trojita]

Oh shit Kenny Omega!

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

Lets talk about the important part here. Both he and Kenny Omega put Sonic Mania in the top 10. They are both good people.

 

[AcridMeat]

What? I feel like he plays it safe with putting it that way...

 

[AuthenticM]

Is Xavier's real name Austin? If so, then why does the article call him Xavier?

 

[Balphon]

I'm fairly sure Up Up Down Down is full of WWE 2K18 videos.

 

[DecoReturns]

Woah!

A Fire Emblem Warriors mention.

 

[OnanieBomb]

DM, you missed the perfect opportunity to use SHOOTS HARD in the title.

 

[DMczaf]

I'm fairly sure Up Up Down Down is full of WWE 2K18 videos.

The channel has WWE 2K18 videos featuring "sim matches" promoting upcoming WWE PPV match ups.

No one actually playing the game.

Hmm, interesting.

I watch stuff from his channel now and then but usually skip those.

Actually, I'll take that back, they had a couple of vids of people playing it, but that was the week the game was coming out.

So yeah, still basically promoting the game for his company.

 

[JackSlate]

Wouldn't say he buried it, but nice that he put Fire Pro Wrestling World in there. It's a very nice list overall too.

 

[ryushe]

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is the most fun I've had with a JRPG this year.


Did I do a good job burying Persona 5?

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Fire Pro is his honorable mention.

DM pls.

Doesn't put WWE 2K18 in the article!

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

This thread title reminds me of those annoying youtube recommendations I get. X BURIES Y! Y SHOOTS HARD ON X!

 

[Brian_FETO]

Xavier Woods SHOOTS HARD on WWE 2K!!!!!

Edit: I Wanna Be The Guy stealing heat

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

He sandbagged it more than buried it tbh

I guess depending on the player. My kids and I are having a blast with 2k18 right now.

You better not read all those lists of top games from developers coming out of Japanese websites and magazines then. Almost no one mentions games by his own companies. By your logic, those are all burying their employers.

Nope. I really don't see any burying done here. Caps or otherwise.

 

[BFIB]

Fire Pro on Switch when?

 

[Bakercat]

2k18 is at least no.1 in the list of worse ports on the Nintendo Switch.




Dat framerate

This is WWE we are talking about.

 

[Foffy]

WWE is petty enough to find this an issue if they wanted to.

That said he mentioned the better game. Fire Pro Wrestling World is probably the last wrestling game you'll ever need.

On PC, the modding scene is unreal. The changes offered on the platform are amazing.

 

[rancey]

good parody of youtube shoot wrestling videos.
