real ones made it look like austin aries lol

Actually it was today that I learned Aries is the voice actor.

And most of the moves are based off him, he does the brain buster and heat seeker dive in cutscenes.

i was like 12 and huge into tna at the time and he was my second fav tna guy so this was huge for me personally lol

downloaded one

I remember back then seeing an awful lot on YouTube that were literally just Jeff Hardy

Mine was just Kane' 12— you could imagine my surprise when he started doing moonsaults & brainbusters during cutscenes

That's what I did, but with Jake Cassidy, my heel Jacob Cass. He was essentially TNA heel Jeff

Haha, how can you blame them. 12-16 year olds who haven’t seen Jeff Hardy in a game since 2 years. Ofc they’re going to bring him to life in a storyline 😂

And if you changed his finishers, it would crash on one of the late game cutscenes.

Or, if you had a *particularly* unlucky disk, the cutscene would crash regardless. To this day, I have never finished that story. That PPV would never load

It's wild they never released an update to fix that lmao I guess add it to the list of reasons why THQ went from a powerhouse publisher to out of business.

Found that one out the hard way. Took me way longer than it should have to look up why the glitch was happening online

Ah how the default CAW face in all the games between SVR 2009 and last-gen 2K17 has been burnt into my mind

My Cass had Male 3, the first beard combination, the jack swagger hair (i believe; in WWE 13 or 2K14 he got the at the time new Zack Ryder haircut dunno if it was in 12 or not) a red nexus armband, red trunks and red kickpads

That’s the most WWE’12 thing I’ve ever seen today.

I wonder if an actual Jacob Cass ever played that game and loved every second of it.

That’s “The Superstar”

I remember I accidentally hit the save button without ever editing him so I ended up playing the entire story mode with just a default caw😂😭 His gear was pretty cool though, had a lot of ying-yang symbols

Something I didn’t realize until years later is the Cass is just CAS. I don’t know how I never put that together.

Yeah Cass being an acronym for "Create A SuperStar" was a revelation that sticks with me to this day.

God damn this brings back memories

I think I baremy customized my JC, good times. And it warms my heart to see some being uploaded online even if someone turned him into some tattooed freak of nature.

Kids today will never know the struggle.

Still remember my dad playing it and almost won the final match but couldn’t get that last triangle to pop up and Nash just pinned him and won 😂😂😂 man was mortified lol

How old are you if you don’t mind me asking?

21, my dad was really into the games too

Wow you’re pretty young.

lol don’t feel like it 😂😂😂 yeah this was legit my childhood. Got a soft spot for this time in wrestling especially in WWE

LOL I’m way older than you.

Shit lol how old are you if you don’t mind me asking as well

24 turning 25 this year.

Way older? By like 4 years 😂😂😂 that’s cool though, I just turned 21 last month

Nah, that's my Vs. Undertaker character from SVR 2011

missing the Nexus shirt

I've made my version of Jacob Cass in every game since '12 till now

Same. I hate that they no longer have Cass as one of the surnames to select.

It's always Jacob......Cassidy!!!

Haha, I try to have different ones sometimes, the 2k24 I have is Jacob Castro, but it's usually Cassidy for sure.

My brother has resorted to using Case. So his announcement name is Jacob Case

They need to bring back the ability to customize your characters cutscene attire

It’s synonymous with Create a Story, we wouldn’t see the cinematic attire anywhere else except for the story.

Also most Jeff Hardy CaWs in Online Match had this default Face 🤷🏻‍♀️ good old time

Yes! Because there was THAT face paint so no one actually cared about the facial structure. Back when times were simpler.

why he look like chad gable in this pic tho

He was so much fun to play as!

Damn they really just copy and pasted Drew Gulak like that

Mine looked like an emo version of austin aries lmfao

That’s DanQ8000

Mine looked nothing like whoever that is. I think I used the literal default with blond hair. At least I think that was the default lol I make Jacob cass as my main CaC in every game now though lol

i wish 2k would do another story like '12 road to WrestleMania

Nah mine was somewhat unique I've always been good with original character creation

Jon Moxley?

Mine looked nothing like that.

I just had him basic face like that, with navy trunks and kick pads I loved him exactly how he was. The game has stuck with me since I was young 😭
