Austin Theory Revision

[RandomGuy2345]

Well, after he won winning MITB, despite it being pretty late, I thought "Why not make a revision thread for the wrestler who is most likely going to be the future of the WWE?"

And that's what I'm doing! I'm going to do a short and sweet revision on Austin Theory. Hopefully, it won't be too controversial.

Power Mimicry: Copied Bobby Lashley's spear.

At least Peak Human, likely Class 5 for LS: We've done a revision on this already. Theory is known for using his LS as well. He even won a bodybuilding competition at the age of 17 (stated in his profile).

Instinctive Reactions: Theory was powerbombed through a table, he was then able to respond to the 10 count, as well as instinctively hit a forearm strike on his opponent. Theory was able to instinctively put his foot on the rope, which was stated to be instinctive by the commentators.

That is all for A-Town!

Agreed

This is iffy and idk whether this should be put on the profile as justification

but this is good for IR

so yeah agree with everything

 

[InfiniteDay]

I agree with everything.

Theory usually spams forearm smashes in character. Theory likely didn't even know where he was at after barely responding to a 10 count.

It's kinda similar to Kenny's Instinctive Reactions.

Looks good

 

[Pikaman]

I honestly doubt any verse supporters will have issues with these upgrades as very similar stuff has been agreed on unanimously with 0 issues at all, we should move onto contacting staff to evaluate

One step ahead of me lol

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Forgot how long it takes for most staff to respond.

We'll just wait it out.

Power Mimicry: Copied Bobby Lashley's spear.

Ah, er, how is this Power Mimicry? I don't think I'm understanding it right. I know nothing about WWE, so I don't see any mechanisms at play.

Could I see it?

I don't think this part is usable. The man has a good look at his opponent before throwing the punch.

Theory was able to instinctively put his foot on the rope, which was stated to be instinctive by the commentators.

This does work I guess, if WWE's commentators contribute to the story.

Pretty much copied/stole the main move of his opponent and used it against him

 

[RandomGuy2345]

The Spear is Bobby Lashley's finishing move. Wrestlers have shown to mimic other wrestlers finishing moves. Here's further proof of that.

Could I see it?

Here it is. Here is Austin's profile so you can see his LS.

He still looked incredibly wary and out of it after hitting that forearm smash.

If it helps this is treated as a special ability not all superstars are inherently capable of in the 2K Games, though they technically are not canon to the mainline universe they have extreme parallels and the only real difference is the sandbox nature of the games

In WWE games, there is a Payback ability called "Move Thief" where you can 'steal' your opponents' finishing move.

I mean, so does many other battle fiction that get tired after a long fight/action showdowns but we don't qualify Instinctive Reactions from that.

Lets not composite but interesting to note.

Thank you, this appears to look ok. Likely would fit winning a bodybuilding competition.

Ok. Would work better organized as blog to link on profiles for explanation (just an idea) than a thread but then thats fine.

That's not what I'm doing.

Though, I am interested in making profiles for the WWE games.

I was basing it off this, which was accepted to be Instinctive Reactions.

But... what for?

 

[RandomGuy2345]

But... what for?

Wdym?

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Theory was able to instinctively put his foot on the rope, which was stated to be instinctive by the commentators.

Either way, this is without a doubt Instinctive Reactions (though I don't know how Theory would be able to use this in combat).

 

[ElixirBlue]

Wdym?

Was the guy knocked out or something?

Well, yeah, if the commentators are treated as narrators of the story.

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Eh, it's hard to tell if he was knocked out.

I'll try my best to explain this: Wrestlers try their best to make moves and/or feats seem legit. Copying abilities, using pure instincts to fight, and much more don't seem like all that when watching, but the feats are supposed to made as legit.

Theory clearly looked like he wasn't aware of what was going on before and after he striked his opponent. He looked dazed.

Well technically the games are somewhere in the mainline cosmology, as they are constantly referenced in the proper show.

Granted in the shows the games are treated as, well, games, and the games themselves have a possibly infinite multiverse, so, either a 4th wall break or R>F transcendence over an infinite multiverse for wrestlers, I’d probably be willing to bet on the former...

 

[RandomGuy2345]

WWE games aren't canon to the actual WWE verse, but it would be nice to have profiles of them.

Don’t the commentators sometimes say “he’s out here doing it so easy it’s like he’s playing WWE 2KXX” or something along those lines? Also Mainline WWE is probably floating about somewhere in that Woken Matt Hardy Multiverse

That's a 4th Wall Break lmao.

There's been a couple of videos talking about WWE games breaking the 4th wall.

 

[Qawsedf234]

If it wasn't for the statements I'd probably throw out the reaction thing.

Lifting strength needs a better reasoning imo.

Martial Arts Power Mimicry seems alright for the context of the WWE KayFabe.

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Lifting strength needs a better reasoning imo.

We had a whole entire discussion about this in the previous thread.

No I get what he would scale to, I mean the listed reasoning for Class 5 isn't enough.

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Well, he did win a Bodybuilding challenge at the age of 17, and he's likely gotten even more fit since then (he's a professional wrestler after all).

Also, Theory had a pose down with the likes of Bobby Lashley, the latter being able to fight on par with Brock Lesnar, who's known for decimating his opponents with his sheer strength (LS).

Theory lost the pose down, so he should downscale from Class 25 (the peak of the verse in LS), and he should end up being Class 5.

 

[FinePoint]

I'm fine with power mimicry so long as it's made clear it's for martial arts techniques.
The instinctive reaction seems fine too based on the statements.

I'll remain neutral on the lifting strength since its reasonings dig deeper than I am invested.

 

[Pikaman]

No I get what he would scale to, I mean the listed reasoning for Class 5 isn't enough.

Pretty much the WWE scaling chain goes that anyone who is anyone gets at least Class 5 as those are the lower tiered LS feats of the strongmen, and most have at some point through one scaling chain or another briefly matched or at least contended with them/those comparable

 

[RandomGuy2345]

I'm assuming these are all fine to apply?

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Well, unfortunately, the fandom is blocked on my laptop, so I can't add these to Theory's profile.

So, can someone add them for me? It would be greatly appreciated.
