Recently, an event involving Flight caught the attention of fans on social media when he was caught on the receiving end of one of The Joker's moves while playing WWE 2 K. The YouTuber, who is known for his reaction videos and gaming content, could not believe his eyes when the Joker had him 'levitating' in the air and dramatically threatened to uninstall the game upon witnessing the absurd events unfold.
Flight has a passion for professional wrestling and can be regularly seen playing wrestling games on his stream, most notably WWE 2 K. The game often allows players to create custom-made characters as well, and the incident in question happened when Flight came up against one of them. As the Joker defied the laws of physics by having him float in the air, the YouTuber broke into an explosive rant that ridiculed the gameplay.
What made the clip even funnier is that Flight wasn't the only one who was taken aback by the sudden move, as the in-game commentators seemed to be lost for words as well. Nobody seemed to have a clue about what was happening in the ring. The incident also caught the eyes of fans on social media, who banded together with the YouTuber to poke fun at the over-the-top encounter:
"Ok but who’s move is this? No way that happened IRL", wrote one fan.
"When I saw this in WWE 2k 24 I nearly took the disc out the tray and sold the game", quipped another fan.
"Even the commentators were surprised", joked another.
"Joker had Flight floating like his career after that WWE uninstall scare", added yet another fan.
The clip went viral on social media as fans related to Flight's frustrations, drawing parallels to their own rage-quit experiences.
One fan, who longed for the olden days to return, commented:
"Nah what has wwe games become I miss the og raw vs smack down games man"
Another fan chimed in:
"LMAO this is peak comedy! Man really hit that Joker finisher like it’s WWE 2K25"
Another fan poked fun at the dynamics of the match:
"Bro was in the shadow realm mid match.... Joker had him rethinking his whole life.... Even 2K couldn’t render that spiritual a** whooping"
WWE 2K has introduced a number of features to make the game more interesting and immersive for the players, such as new character designs, over-the-top super moves, pyros, and new storylines. Gone are the days of simple SmackDown vs Raw battles, and the game has taken on new meaning for the fans.
With the game continuing to evolve every year, we are sure to see more moments like these in the future.
