"It seems I can never escape personnel problems in my federation’s locker room. A few years ago, while reviewing Adam Ryland’s Total Extreme Wrestling 2010 from Grey Dog Software, I had to deal with locker room cancer Jay Chord, son of then owner, Rip. My plans to get him injured so badly he’d never work again fell through, but fortunately he signed with a larger federation and stopped being my problem. In 2013, Rip has retired from the business, and his idiot son is still an annoying fish in someone else’s pond. I thought new ownership would bring peace and stability to MAW (Mid Atlantic Wrestling in Ryalnd’s fictional Cornellverse), but now I have to deal with yet another entitled goofball with ties to the industry in Hollywood Bret Starr… He’s already causing locker room havoc, but I can’t fire him because he draws money and is destined to be a star, even if he alienates everyone else in the process. Is he worth the effort, or should I dump him and try to replace him in the upper midcard with someone less… troublesome?"
It's WrestleMania week, and A Pixelated View decided to look wrestling's greatest contributions to gaming. This is the Top 5 Greatest Pro Wrestling Games.
Hardcore Gamer: There are hardcore simulation games, and then there’s Total Extreme Wrestling. Don’t let the lack of true aesthetics fool you; this is a full-bodied experience that will suck in any gamer who has the urge to run a wrestling company from the ground up. Let it be known now that this game isn’t for the faint of heart; this is truly a niche title that lays on choice after choice to the point of almost drowning the player in menus. But if the prospect of being your own Vince McMahon has ever even been in the slightest bit interesting to you, then Total Extreme Wrestling 2013 is the game to play.
