Might These Video Sport Households Beat WWE’s Bloodline?

Wrestlemania 40 is almost upon us, and in the event you’ve been following WWE for the previous three years, the present, like almost each story throughout this time, revolves round one household: the Bloodline. The large household tree of Samoan wrestlers dates again many years and contains members akin to present undisputed champion Roman Reigns, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Yokozuna, Rikishi, and so many others. In a enterprise crammed with well-known households, the Bloodline is probably going the largest household dynasty in professional wrestling historical past. 

That acquired me considering of comparable household bushes throughout all of online game fiction and if any of them may stand toe-to-toe towards the Bloodline. I’ve gathered up a couple of worthy clans, and whereas we’ll by no means see them sq. off towards Roman’s fam for dominance, we are able to at the very least hypothesize who would earn the best to be acknowledged. 

The Kong Household – Donkey Kong

Donkey Kong chucked his first barrels at gamers in 1981, cementing himself as an icon and staple of the medium. Since then, Nintendo’s well-known ape has multiplied into an expansive household tree of youngsters, grandchildren, nephews, and romantic companions with their very own clans, all sure by the identify Kong. In case you totaled each Kong to look in video games, comics, promotional supplies, and the Donkey Kong Nation animated collection, there’s sufficient to fill a number of barrels. And in the event you ever have hassle remembering some members, the notorious DK Rap serves as a useful function name. If this confrontation devolves right into a rap battle, although, Roman’s cousins, the Usos, have the Kongs soundly crushed. 

The Belmonts – Castlevania

Very similar to the Bloodline, the members of Castlevania’s Belmont household have made their identify being superb at doing the identical job: killing Dracula. This legendary lineage of vampire hunters (although they’re equally adept at slaying all method of supernatural threats) has been slinging whips and tossing holy water higher than anybody for hundreds of years. The merciless irony is that their major foe, Dracula, has a more in-depth connection to them than the latter Belmonts could notice. We don’t typically see Belmonts working collectively as a result of generational gaps, so whichever member faces Roman could also be in a Cody Rhodes-like situation of representing his household alone, inserting them at a extreme drawback. 

Nurse Joys/Officer Jennys – Pokémon

One of many Pokémon anime’s longest-running gags was how every city has its personal Nurse Pleasure and Officer Jenny. They’re not the identical particular person however quite a visually similar member of two obscenely giant clans of medical practitioners and legislation enforcement officers. It’s unbelievable that one household would encompass dozens of clone-like siblings, cousins, first cousins, and so forth., not to mention two. Think about if the Bloodline was simply a number of copies of Roman Reigns and solely his wiseman Paul Heyman (satirically enjoying the function of Brock) may inform the refined variations akin to eyelash size and enamel whiteness. One-on-one, Nurse Pleasure is much too nice for a struggle, however Officer Jenny is at all times prepared for a scrap. Plus, her omnipresent Arcanine may counter an inevitable Solo Sikoa run-in. 

Desmond Miles’ Lineage – Murderer’s Creed

That is an attention-grabbing one, as these are extra descendants than direct members of the family. However provided that centuries separate Desmond’s most well-known ancestors, Altaïr and Ezio, one would assume numerous relations exist in between for his bloodline to outlive to the current day. Because of the superior science-magic of the Animus, stabbing Templars within the neck has turn into a hereditary trait quite than a realized commerce. The Bloodline would possible solely should cope with Desmond, however he channels the various expertise (learn: stabbing/climbing issues very well) of his ancestors because of the science-magic of the Animus. 

The Feys – Ace Legal professional

From the surface, the Ace Legal professional collection appears to be nearly successful court docket instances and yelling OBJECTION, however the franchise is steeped within the supernatural. Phoenix Wright’s mentor was Mia Fey, a famend protection lawyer and a spirit medium from an extended line of them. After Mia’s dying, her bubbly youthful sister Maya turns into Phoenix’s long-time sidekick, and gamers encounter extra Fey relations all through the collection. There are 9 recognized members (all ladies since solely females can study the household’s spirit channeling approach), nevertheless it’s assumed to be a lot bigger given its construction of getting a “essential” household and a number of other department households of “lesser” siblings and their kin. The Feys may channel the spirits of Roman’s departed brethren to play some efficient thoughts video games. After Cody Rhodes’ claims that Roman and Rock’s grandfathers can be ashamed of their villainous antics, the Feys may simply verify this. Nonetheless, the Feys haven’t been resistant to interior turmoil and have been prepared to resort to homicide to climb the hierarchy, a schism the Bloodline may capitalize on. 

Aquato Household – Psychonauts

Raz’s household will not be wrestlers, however they’re the subsequent neatest thing: circus performers. Recognized by their stage identify because the “Flying Aquatos,” Raz’s fast (and really giant) household excelled at water acrobatics till an aquatic-related household curse derailed their act. The Bloodline may simply make the most of this by having the match happen on a literal Island of Relevancy, triggering Raz and his household’s long-standing trauma. On the flip facet, Raz moving into Roman’s head and exploring what makes him tick would make for an enchanting platforming stage. There would possible be quite a lot of Royal Rumble 2015-related baggage collectibles to search out. 

The Coopers – Sly Cooper

Sly Cooper was destined to be a grasp thief from the second he was born. That’s as a result of he’s the most recent of generations of benevolent thieves. Someway courting again to the Ice Age, Coopers have been pulling off heists since dinosaurs roamed the Earth, presumably making them the oldest household on this record. For all we all know, Coopers invented the very idea of stealing and, very like the Bloodline, may devise some sneaky methods of pulling out a win. Plus, they might all be current through the match because of the fourth sport’s introduction of time journey. Win or lose, one factor is definite: there’s no method in Hell the Coopers aren’t strolling out with Roman’s belt, by hook, or by expertly executed criminal.
