Just had a match on Nitro, which was SD, with Randy Orton (me) vs Christian. Before the match started, Christian took out a pair of brass knucks and nailed Orton while the ref wasn't looking (cool cutscene).

He formed one with Del Rio in mine, which I thought was strange.

That was of course until I had a match agaisnt Del Rio and Punk ran interference and laid him out.

Punk, Ryder, and myself are now "The Originals."

I know it's been around forever; I just wasn't sure if that was the actual storyline. But, if what I wrote made sense, then I guess it has to be.

I've eliminated all the divas. I have The Rock pushing to be the face of Smackdown and Punk the face of Raw. Almost at RR.

This mode is definitely addictive.

Re: Official: How's your WWE 12 Universe going?

didnt know where else to put this, but stephensonmc just confirmed to me on twitter that free agents and any dead brand you create will randomly show up in your universe. it was programed in that free agents show up as mystery opponents here and there to add some randomness/surprise to the shows and that same coding goes for other brands that are created.

sorry if everyone knew that already, was news to me. boo!!

But free agents randomly showing up makes perfect sense... THEY ARE FREE AGENTS. They are now "contracted" to any show. Back in the day before they started having all this talent exchange and super show stuff, "free agent" wrestlers would be on both shows to try to get a contract. There is nothing wrong with it.

And there is no such thing as a dead brand in the game; you call it dead because that's how you wish to interpret it. NXT isn't "dead", you would just rather not use it is all. 100% realism shouldn't be anyone's object as this is basically a sandbox mode. A) It doesn't start on the Raw after Survivor Series so it won't follow the WWE exactly, and B) as soon as you do one week, you are deviating from TV because you could have Air Boom turn on each other for instance. What are you going to do? Put them back together because TV says so? Now, if some of these guys you want off your shows go and win the Rumble, ok, now its a problem. Although it would take a while to prove it, I'm guessing things like the Rumble, the computer sets up so that a Raw or Smackdown superstar wins, unless you get involved and change that. Also, roster size may affect it. If you have 40 guys on each roster, there is plenty to choose from. If you cut it down to the minimum of 15, it is probably a lot more likely to draw people from your "dead" brands.

That's fine and all if Universe allowed you to select wrestlers you don't want to use at all and allowed you to vacate titles permanently, unless you decide otherwise.

So, now Michael Cole is gonna make an appearance carrying 10 titles on his waist? How is that realistic? It will ruin the experience.

I mean, I'm not really crying about it, but it's unfortunate that there isn't an option to do two simple things: Not have certain wrestlers appear in Universe and vacate titles permanently.

I don't know guys....I've been playing and simming within Universe mode for two weeks and have gone through at least four years worth of events and have NEVER seen anyone from WCW (the "dead" brand I shipped all of the legends and other titles to) show up. I did see the tag teams -- Demolition and the Road Warriors -- make an appearance, but once I split those teams up within WCW, that stopped as well.

If one of the devs says it can happen, then who am I to argue? But I have yet to see it myself and I've played A LOT of Universe mode. Maybe I've just been lucky...
