Wwe 2k20 career mode3/20/2023 Finally, though that is set to change as 2K have revealed that in this year’s game you will be able to play as both a male and female character in My Career Mode. For the entirety of the series, stretching back to the halcyon days of THQ, it has been a male focused affair that only ever offers a little taste of women’s wrestling. Long overdue isn’t even the word to describe this move from 2K and Yukes. If you get the chance, then you should absolutely check out this debut episode just to see what else wrestling can offer outside of the current big two. Nick Aldis finally looks the part as their face of the company and the roster around him has such a different vibe to that of any other company out there right now. That’s not to say it’s stuck in the past, it certainly embraces certain elements of the modern day, but so to does it revel in what made the NWA such a force to be reckoned with in the first place. If you’re a fan of Jim Cornette and, like him, yearn for a time when wrestling made a bit more sense then this is the show for you. Now they are producing weekly content via their social media streams and it has a delightfully old school feel to it. The long since relevant group have seen a resurgence in popularity over the past few years with Billy Corgan at the helm and an influx of new talent working tirelessly on each card. In what might seem like a headline from the mid-eighties, the NWA are back on television! Sort of. Certain world leaders could take note of that. He’s a good person who does what he does not for recognition or acclaim but instead to help people. The world needs more people like this and I for one hope that he is given more screen time each week in order to not only wow the crowd with his unbelievable athleticism but also to spread his message as it is definitely one that the world needs to hear right. There are so many examples of Ali interacting with people via social media and in real life, spreading love and compassion at every turn. Most wrestlers would not have responded to the tweet, much less do what Ali did which was to tell the fan that he would try to sort it so that he could come along anyway. One such exchange on Twitter recently saw a fan (Detective Chimp on Twitter) of Ali’s mention to his other half that he’d love to meet the Superstar at an upcoming show but was not able to afford to do so. The man is so kind hearted that it is inspiring to see his interactions with his fans. In fact, he is the man who inspired me to produce this weekly list of positivity. ![]() So, this entry doesn’t entirely relate to anything happening on either brand at the moment, but rather it serves to highlight just how much of a role model Ali truly is. Mustafa Ali / Adeel Alam October 7, 2019 There’s plenty of cynicism surrounding this but let’s be optimistic for once and look forward to something a little different. It’s not much to build a feud off of but Tyson’s innate charisma coupled with Braun’s over the top character could well make for a sensational bout. The most they have in common is that Fury is a World Championship winning boxer and Strowman likes to invite people to “Get these hands”. Anyone who said that they saw this one coming is an out and out liar as it is, on the surface, a nonsensical pairing. On the Raw side of things, you have the more ”out of nowhere” feud between Braun Strowman and Tyson Fury. It is easy to be cynical over Brock winning the WWE Championship in such quick fashion but if the payoff is this blockbuster encounter then it should serve to lessen the blow somewhat. On top of that you have the fact that Brock Lesnar is a fantastic wrestler when he’s of a mind to be and Velasquez has shown early signs of promise in his own match in AAA. This will be invaluable to building a heated story that people will pay to see conclude down the line. With this pairing you have the benefit of a legitimate history stemming from their previous fight in UFC. Over on Smackdown Cain Velasquez has shown up far sooner than anyone thought he was going to be able to and has immediately declared war on Brock Lesnar, ostensibly in defence of Rey Mysterio. ![]() Somehow, the WWE have two such situations right now. ![]() ![]() For every Mike Tyson there is a Tito Ortiz but when the stars align, and it all comes together these cameos can produce magic. Wrestling has a mixed history when it comes to bringing in stars from other sports.
