THIS MOD IS RELEASING THIS YEAR BTW!!!!!!

What if WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain got the ultimate love letter it deserved?

I'm Nero, a longtime WWE games modder, and I'm working on Here Comes the Pain 3X, the sequel to my 2021 mod, Here Comes the Pain 2X!

This isn't just a roster update. It's a massive community overhaul built around the HCTP era, bringing the game closer than ever to the WWE of Summer 2002 through June 2003

Here's what you can look forward to:

• 122 Wrestlers from the HCTP era
• 400+ Attires and counting, with brand new entrance gear
• 255 Themes & Trons for every wrestler in the game
• Rebalanced Stats & Gameplay for a refreshed HCTP experience
• Restored Beta Content & Features that dig deeper into the game's unused content
• Partially Restored Commentary with lines brought back into the experience
• Hidden Easter Eggs & Fun Extras waiting to be discovered

And the best part? The mod will be completely FREE!

Whether you've been playing HCTP for over 20 years or you're discovering the game through mods, my goal is to make this a definitive celebration of the greatest wrestling game ever made.

Thanks for checking out the project, and stay tuned for more! 🤟

and it looks AMAZING in only 720p i wonder if they can get online to work like they did in the emulator a few months ago

Wtf is this game? 😂 Not as bad as Roman Reigns with superpowers and a sword though.

Shut your mouth. Stone cold play through! I’m currently the undisputed champ, and that does not work for Hogan, brother.

They just have no shame do they? They see everyone excited enjoying these free recomps and decide ‘yeah let’s start paywalling them’

It’s an almost 14 year old game!! Charging for a game they most likely used AI to ‘create’ 🙄 ugh just fk off

UPDATE: his post has now been removed and he’s going to be removing the paywall and making it free for everyone soon (allegedly)

All I know is that I'm using Ryu's finisher for a Goku CAW, lol

It doesn't have to be WWE. Any wrestling game will do.

I haven't played anywhere near to most wrestling games out there. And I haven't played any of the notoriously bad ones like Simpsons Wrestling, those PS2 backyard wrestling games, Wrestlemania 21, the TNA game, WWF King of the Ring, etc.

So, if I had to name a "worst wrestling game", I'd say WWF Wrestlemania on the NES. I know it's a classic, but I didn't have much fun with it. I did not grow up with it, so I'm sure age is a factor here. But, for example, Tecmo Wrestling that's also on the NES, is a better game, imo.

Feels like a combined entrance, video and 2000’s versions of these guys has been waited on so long and we only just got the entrance at the end of the 2K26 life cycle.

I used to play this game religiously when I was much younger and having a pc now I got it emulated and it’s great memories. I’m just wondering as a community what your opinions would be for a maybe newer more polished replacement without losing some of the nostalgia. I really don’t keep up with wrestling these days or since probably 2012ish honestly. I just want to play a game I did as a kid with a time appropriate roster and some of the features with obviously more advanced/polished mechanics and graphics. Could be any years release really if it holds up

Almost 20 years later, this PS2 classic still holds up! Playing it with a telescopic controller makes it even better. Anyone else still enjoying SVR 07?

You could easily mold the face and body to resemble any wrestler you want. All the needed body types and designs were there. No awkward face capture needed. Honestly some of these are *chef's kiss."

I don't think any other game has rivaled its CAW mode.

I’m playing the HCTP ultimate edition and ran into Trish in the back and she mentions that she’s been having issues with Stacy saying she slept her way to the top. Jericho shows up and mentions the Vince x Trish storyline and her barking like a dog, I don’t remember this being in the original version.

So, since i recently made some arenas from that year (https://www.reddit.com/r/WWEGames/comments/1wwtdcu/2008_arenas_pack_now_uploaded_to_cc_under_shows/) i've decided to upload images to create trons via video!!

Enjoy!!!

Hey guys, I’ve completed the 3rd chapter from the Island, and was wondering if it’s worthwhile to grind to unlock the secret chapters ahead. So anyone who’s done it, what do you think? Thank you

Hopped on after not being on for a week or so and for whatever reason it will not connect me to online servers for some reason. Says I dont have a connection (I definitely do)

I can't believe I can find time to do this while I'm moving.

I had intended from the jump to once again make Victoria around Halloween. When Sabu passed last year, I had begun working on her video and then rushed through to completing it. It was already supposed to be a Sabu tribute. Sabu hit me pretty hard.

This year I wanted to get back to making her showcase fun. I went through several songs. This video was almost set to "Heart Attack American" by the Bronx. I was thinking about doing that Lordi song for years so it was fun to revisit that band. I was really into them when the Arockalypse came out. Monsterman has a lot of big cues. This was a fun edit.

This CAW is starting to be one of my favorites. I kind of made her a vicious heel at first, but as a face she's way cooler.
