Nothin but

If you thought the World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor marketing campaign that featured a gigantic axe seemingly plunged into the roadways in Time Square was unique and different, think again. Last night, Blizzard hosted a Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide wrestling match to promote Battle for Azeroth that featured Psycho Clown and Electro Shock, each appropriately decked out in factional colors. The official advertising from Media Tiempo reads: This event will have a very special flavor, since it will be a direct confrontation between AAA and Lucha Libre Elite , who will be representing the two factions of the videogame. Under the red banner, AAA superstars like Psycho Clown, Son of the Phantom, Faby Apache and Dr. Wagner Jr. will defend the honor of the AAA and the Horde ; while, under the blue banner, LA Park, Electro Shock and Zeuxis, Golden Magic, the Traumas and several more will fight for the glory of Lucha Libre Elite and the Alliance.

See these? These are my kid gloves. I’m putting them on special for this preview, because Blood Ancestors is so early alpha it’s not even funny. Even their splash screen says “BUGS” all over the place. This game has em. Get over it, if you’re going to look at it, at this stage. Otherwise, go play a game without bugs. Like… um… like… Yeah I got nothin. I played a game without bugs once. I think? Maybe? Now that’s out of the way, let’s get down to business.
