RULES & REGULATIONS
This is where the official rules & regulations of AAW are written down & will be updated upon WWE 2K20's release after testing of moves, paybacks & anything that can influence competitive play. Last Updated: 21st of October 2019
PLEASE NOTE THAT RULES WILL BE REWRITTEN AFTER TESTING & RELEASE OF WWE 2K20 WHEN NEEDED
No Cheating, Hacking, Spamming
Standard rule of most leagues, clubs & e-feds, any cheating or hacking will be looked down upon & will most likely see you "future endeavoured". In regards to spamming, do not use the same move more then 3 times in a row & we encourage you to try mixing up your moves. For Example: Body Slam, Stomp, Stomp, Elbow Drop, Suplex, Stomp etc.
Submissions
In regards to the Submission Systems, Submissions by default are not allowed in official sanctioned matches, unless all competitors involved agree to allow submission moves in advance. Rest Holds that regain stamina & are different from submissions are 100% legal.
Rematch Clauses
In an attempt to prevent the same people fighting each other as often & having them go back & forth for a title, no AUTOMATIC Rematch clauses are given. However you are still able to challenge for the same title if you earn your shot fair & square, if there are no other challengers set or pre-determined.
Character Creation Guidelines
You are allowed to us any weight class, however we would like to encourage you to keep your wrestler at realistic proportions for official matches. As an example, you mostly likely wouldn't have a giant as a cruiserweight.
To also clarify on that further, Giants are allowed the occasional high flying move in their moveset, but otherwise we don't want to see Big Show like characters doing lots of cruiserweight moves.
We encourage you to play with an original wrestler, however we will allow the use of normal superstars in game & created versions of other superstars (Example: Jon Moxley / Formerly Dean Ambrose)
That being said we do not want to see Thanos, Superman, Spiderman, Batman, Deadpool, Joker, Shrek, Goku, Waluigi, any other meme characters etc. in official matches as it breaks the realism of the match. You are more then welcome however to reference those characters in your attire, as long as it's not a complete carbon copy of them & you are allowed to use the full fantasy characters in non-official matches.
~ BANNED MOVES & PAYBACKS ~
*This will be edited accordingly as we test more stuff & DLC is dropped with what we are able to test*
Instant Recovery (In Last Man Standing Type Matches, Legal elsewhere)
*This extends the match to an excessive degree & makes it much harder in order to win the match*
Hands of Fate: *To Be Tested / Pending Review*
(Testing ability to reverse / escape time / how many times can it be used in a match)
We are currently awaiting the release of the game & testing out various moves will take us some time to see if it's something that can be abused. We will update the list when needed & keep you informed. Otherwise, we don't want to see everyone using a load of RKO's or Curb Stomps as regular moves. Some moves such as a spear or superkick we will allow as limited moves, so you are allowed to use them as regular moves but only sparingly & not close together.
We will offer more info & clarification after testing & as we get it.
Match Issues
If there are issues with split screening, try again without entrances or custom arenas & see if that helps. If not, inform management & we will either give you a new opponent or rebook the match for another time.
If there are complaints during your matches inform us & please record a clip of your match, (the more the better) and upload to our community on PlayStation 4 for us to review. Otherwise without any evidence it will be tougher to come to a decision.
Leaving AAW?
We want all WWE 2K Players to enjoy their stay in AAW, but if you feel unsatisfied with what our club is doing, then please get in touch with Glacier_Ange1 or WhistleBackWisp first before making the decision to leave. We strive 24/7 to make AAW a home for WWE 2K players all over to come together and have fun and your input and suggestions are much appreciated in the improvement of AAW on PlayStation 4 going forward.
