I have a feeling Shannon Moore will be in the game if Wang is.
That's just me though. Plus add Michelle McCool and hopefully Victoria and Natalya. |
<font color=goldenrod>Yeah I think Moore's got a pretty good chance too. Come to think, if the roster is as big as they make it out to be...there might be an assload of teams in the game, around WM time there was:
1. Rhodes and Holly 2. Miz and Morrison 3. Jesse and Festus 4. Hawkins & Ryder 5. Moore Wang 6. Londrick 7. Cade & Murdoch 8. Deuce 'n Domino 9. Cryme Tyme (returned the night after WM so there's a chance) I highly doubt they all get in...but if the roster is around 65 or so and there aren't any legends it's not unreasonable, if only because I don't see singles guys who are also mega jobbers like Val Venis and DH Smith getting in.</font> |
<font color=goldenrod>Elijah Burke confirmed himself to be in the game on the message board of his official website.
I have a feeling he only made it to try and beef up ECW's roster total a bit...but like with Yang and Palumbo, I'm really glad to see he made it. He'll get more use in my game than he ever did on TV.</font> :o |
No GM mode, no created wrestlers in season mode... Those are the two modes I regularly play. This game sounds shit so far, they've given us a nice big roster and gutted out all the other features in return.

Hey-- So, beyond the daily Countdown, we have some special stuff happening this week. Monday - I'm putting up a brief eyes-on of RTW. Thursday - You're getting an IGN video feature detailing me playing a real WWE Diva who will be announced today. - Podcast Beyond -- the IGN PlayStation Team show -- will feature an interview with THQ Senior Creative Manager Cory Ledesma, Creative Manager Bryan Williams, and the Diva. Friday - Friday Fight. Polls should open Wednesday morning. Hugs. Greg |
So do they mean that Thursday will be the official announcement of said Diva in the game or that today's countdown will be the announcement of the Diva?
If it's today, then I'm calling Melina...if it's Thursday then Michelle McCool. |
I'd assume it's Thursday for the Diva because Punk,Jericho,Rey, and Batista have yet to be on the countdown still. After all, he said that the RTW guys are the next 7 guys for the countdown.

There is one thing you can say about Chris Jericho: The guy sure knows how to make an entrance. His WWE debut in 1999 as the man behind the mysterious Y2J millennium countdown was one of the most memorable moments in sports-entertainment history. But Jericho outdid himself in his "second coming" as the answer to a series of code-encrypted video eight years later. The man who will "Save_US" all is back after a two-year hiatus, and our fans couldn't be happier. Whether he's been beloved or hated by WWE fans, Jericho has never been at a loss for words. And "Y2J" has backed up every single word he said in his storied career, winning a laundry list of championships and going down in history as the first ever Undisputed WWE Champion. The son of former National Hockey League player Ted Irvine, Jericho was born in Manhasset, N.Y. but was raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba in Canada. He trained in Stu Hart's famed dungeon and made his pro wrestling debut at age 19 in 1990. Jericho wrestled around the world and infused different styles he learned in Canada, Mexico and Japan into his own repertoire. He slowly built a following what would become loyal "Jerichoholics" before appearing in ECW (where he briefly held the ECW TV Championship) and then landing in WCW in 1996. Jericho would rise to new heights of stardom – when he entered World Wrestling Entertainment in the summer of 1999. Jericho's rivalries with Chyna, The Rock, Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, Rob Van Dam and Christian were legendary for both their in-ring intensity and comic vignettes outside the ring. Hardly any titles were safe when he was around. Besides holding the European and Hardcore Championships, the self-proclaimed "Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Rolla" won the Intercontinental Championship seven times and held the World Tag Team Championship three times with three different partners. But Jericho cemented his place in WWE history on December 9, 2001 at Vengeance, when he beat both The Rock for the WCW Championship and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin for the WWE Championship to unify both titles and become the first Undisputed WWE Champion. Jericho's WWE championship was brief – he lost the title to Triple H three months later at WrestleMania X8 – but no one could take away his accomplishment. Y2J's WWE career appeared to end in August 2005 when he lost a You're Fired Match to then-WWE Champion John Cena on Raw. Jericho pursued an acting career, continued touring with Fozzy and appeared on VH1's Best Week Ever and I Love The '80s. He has also hosted his own show on XM Satellite Radio called The Rock of Jericho and released his biography, A Lion's Tale: Around the World in Spandex. Despite his numerous projects, the multitalented Jericho cannot get enough of the squared circle. Behold the second coming of Jericho. Who knows what the rebirth of his in-ring career will bring. One thing is certain, as Y2J would say, WWE fans are not likely to see anyone like him ever – evvvveerrrr – again!

WTF at Jericho's bitchified stats
|
Sick new theme.
|
I watched the last Raw and I swear he didn't use that theme and I can't remember him ever using it.
Wish he did though, pretty awesome. |
I wish he'd use his old Sevendust theme. Attitude Era :'(
|
Chris BORICHO!
|
<font color=goldenrod>Jericho :love:
Shocked he didn't get over 90 tho. Ah well. Also, wish he would have his normal theme. That's what custom themes are for tho.</font> |
<font color=goldenrod>I can't be bothered to get the timing down to pause it at the right time but apparently in Jericho's Wii vid, after his entrance...the brief shot of the loading screen confirms Holly as being in (as expected) as one half of the tag champs.
Also, Maria and Lance Cade are shown there too. Guessing Trevor Murdoch is in as well then. Maria will be the diva featured on Thursday.</font> |

Luck is for losers, at least according to CM Punk. Even though his arm is literally tattooed with good-luck charms, Punk believes you make your own good fortune through hard work and intense preparation. Growing up in Chicago, the Raw Superstar's childhood consisted of watching the likes of "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and Jimmy Snuka exchange words, then blows. Such heated rivalries helped Punk realize that sports-entertainment was where he belonged. Adopting the "straightedge" movement—in which one bases their life around personal development, and avoids drugs, alcohol and a dependency lifestyle — Punk has brought his own style to WWE. Punk's in-ring repertoire is an assimilation of fighting styles he has learned from his travels around the world. In his WWE pay-per-view debut as a part of Team DX at Survivor Series 2006, Punk brought down the house in Philadelphia where fans showed their respect for his talents. In 2007, the Straightedge Supertar obtained the ECW Championship by defeating John Morrison on ECW on Sci Fi. In his tenure in the Land of the Extreme, he was considered a top contender and constant threat for whoever was holding the ECW Title.

<font color=goldenrod>Boourns, I was hoping to see the GTS...though it might have been shown in another vid, can't remember.
Prolly gonna use Punk for my first RTW.</font> |
My RTW in order will be
1. CM Punk 2. John Cena 3. Triple H 4. Rey Mysterio/Batista 5. Undertaker 6. Chris Jericho I don't know why thats the order it just is. |
1. CM Punk
2. Undertaker 3. Triple H 4. Chris Jericho 5. John Cena 6. Rey Mysterio/Batista That's mine. |
<font color=goldenrod>1. CM Punk
2. Chris Jericho 3. Undertaker 4. Triple H 5. Rey Mysterio/Batista 6. John Cena Close between Punk and Jericho...but one thing I've noticed with SD games is that I've never used the same guy in my first season more than once, and I used Jericho first in HCTP I think.</font> :o |
<font color=goldenrod>Actually, yeah...that got me thinking. I was right, I've never used the same guy in season first more than once:
SD1: Triple H SD2: The Undertaker JBI: Tazz SYM: DDP HCTP: Chris Jericho SVR: Kane SVR06: JBL SVR07: Ric Flair SVR08: Didn't play</font> :o |
My List Actually has been.
SD1: X-Pac.... SD2: Undertaker JBI: Triple H SYM: Raven HCTP: Shawn Michaels SVR: Chris Jericho SVR06: Edge SVR07: Randy Orton SVR08: Jeff Hardy. I'm thinking I'm going to do Punk, who would of been my first last year. |
I think Digi-Punk has been on 'the gas'
|
I like how they're getting most of the obvious ones out of the way first. They know that we're more interested in the not-so-obvious mid/low-carders.

Dave Batista has been "The Animal" since childhood, in temper if not in name. Raised in a rough part of southeast Washington, D.C., he describes himself as being "a skinny kid with asthma and a bad size complex" — and a penchant for getting into trouble with authorities. He spent a few years in San Francisco after his parents separated, until his mother sent the troubled teen to live with his father in suburban Virginia. By the time he turned 17, he was estranged from both parents, living on his own, and still getting into trouble. For the better part of 10 years, Batista spent his days training and competing as a bodybuilder, and his nights "bouncing in clubs, floating from here to there." (He's still amazed that one club he worked at is less than two blocks from Washington D.C.'s MCI Center, where he defended his World Heavyweight Championship against JBL at SummerSlam in 2005.) His drifting stopped the night he unleashed his explosive temper on two patrons who had attacked his fellow bouncers. "By the time I was finished with them," he relates, "they were lying on the ground with their eyes rolling in the back of their heads. I was very scared they were going to die." They didn't, but the incident did result in Batista's arrest, a year's probation, and his decision to make radical changes in his life. Enrolling in Wild Samoan Afa's wrestling school in Allentown, Pa., Batista admits that at first he saw sports-entertainment simply as "a way to make a living"— until he was told at a WCW tryout that he didn't have the chops to make it as a wrestler. "That lit a fire under my a**. Wrestling became an obsession that I fell in love with. I completely redirected my training and philosophies, redesigned my body and mental outlook. I just really wanted to be an athlete and an entertainer." Though his personal perseverance brought him to WWE in May 2002, Batista credits former Evolution colleagues Triple H and Ric Flair with developing "a muscleheaded goofball" into a World Heavyweight Champion, one who backs his composed words and demeanor with an explosive fury befitting his nickname. He considers himself neither a leader nor a follower in the locker room ("I'm just a loner, I keep to myself," he insists), but inside the ring, on the covers of muscle mags like FLEX, and even once against budding Superman Tom Welling on The CW Network series Smallville, "The Animal" is clearly a dominant species. A dominant species who, by the way, has collected more than 50 vintage tin lunchboxes. Our advice: respect this six-foot-six, 290-pound beast and his 1967 Green Hornet sandwich container (sporting Bruce Lee's face on the front), which he cherishes among his most prized possessions.

Exploding onto the sports-entertainment scene in the mid 1990s, the colorfully masked Rey Mysterio quickly redefined the way the game was played in the ring. From his awe-inspiring West Coast Pop to his trademark 619, Mysterio is on the cutting edge of wrestling excellence. The definitive high-flying Superstar, Mysterio, despite his size, is an innovative underdog that fans of all ages have grown to respect and love. Rey's impressive Championship resume ranks up there with the all-time greats. His World Championship reign complimented eight Cruiserweight Championships, four WWE Tag Team Championships and one Royal Rumble win. Becoming a World Champion is something he aspired to do all his life. While growing up in San Diego, Rey Mysterio always wanted to be a wrestling Superstar. As a young teenager, he followed his dreams by training in the unpredictable and high-flying Mexican Lucha Libre style of wrestling. His training and early career in Tijuana, Mexico led him to an even bigger stage – first in ECW and then WCW where he revolutionized the fast, high-impact style you now associate with the master of the 619.Source: WWE.com Abilities Evasive Dodge Fan Favorite Ladder Match Outside Dives Springboard Possum Pin Signature Moves Bulldog 4 DDT 13 Finshers The 619 Senton The 619 Body Splash Pin PS3/360 <EMBED src=http://videomedia.ign.com/ev/ev.swf width=433 height=360 type=application/x-shockwave-flash flashvars='object_ID=14242649&downloadURL=http://ps3movies.ign.com/ps3/video/article/910/910937/svr_rey_091708_flvlowwide.flv&allownetworking="all"'></EMBED> Wii <EMBED src=http://videomedia.ign.com/ev/ev.swf width=433 height=360 type=application/x-shockwave-flash flashvars='object_ID=14242659&downloadURL=http://wiimovies.ign.com/wii/video/article/911/911128/Rey-countdown-2-9394_flvlowwide.flv&allownetworking="all"'></EMBED> Road to Wrestlemania <embed src='http://videomedia.ign.com/ev/ev.swf' flashvars='object_ID=14242649&downloadURL=http://ps3movies.ign.com/ps3/video/article/911/911187/091708_RTW_Batista_Rey_flvlowwide.flv&allownetworking="all%"' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' width='433' height='360'></embed> Rey Mysterio Batista and Rey Mysterio's Road to Wrestlemania credit - Greg Miller, ps3.ign.com |

Gruesome Greggy laid down a challenge to THQ: he'd put his IGN Championship belt on the line in a SVR 09 match against any of the real WWE Superstars who have a championship in the game.
THQ accepted, and the company sent the game's greatest champ: WWE Diva Maria. In the game, Maria's the WWE Women's Champion, and in real life she's a sexy spitfire you probably know from her in-ring skills and Playboy cover. |
If there's one thing two-time BYWF Champion and Current IGN Campion Gruesome Greggy (also know as IGN Editor Greg Miller) is good at, it's eating chicken wings. However, if there's a silver medal in his talent pool, it goes to the kid's WWE SmackDown vs. Raw abilities.
With a few weeks of WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 -- THQ's latest wrestling game that's set for a November release -- under his belt, Gruesome Greggy laid down a challenge to THQ: he'd put his IGN Championship belt on the line in a SVR 09 match against any of the real WWE Superstars who have a championship in the game. THQ accepted, and the company sent the game's greatest champ: WWE Diva Maria. In the game, Maria's the WWE Women's Champion, and in real life she's a sexy spitfire you probably know from her in-ring skills and Playboy cover.

If there's one thing Candice Michelle is determined to prove, it's that she's not just another pretty face. And she seemed to prove it by winning the WWE Women's Championship and holding on to it for almost three months. A native of Milwaukee, Candice moved to Los Angeles at age 19 to pursue a career in acting, and after appearing in multiple movies, TV shows and magazines, she applied for the 2004 Diva Search. While she didn't win, Candice was quickly signed to the Raw roster. Since becoming a WWE Diva, Candice has maintained her beautiful image while continuing to improve her grappling skills. She's worked with legendary Four Horsemen enforcer Arn Anderson to hone her in-ring skills, and her development is evident every time she steps into the ring. From physical battles to the vaunted Lingerie Pillow Fight, Candice is not afraid to mix it up in any way. Her training and her heart have paid off with the Women's Championship. And of course, there's her impressive resume of external activities as well. Candice has been featured in numerous magazines, from DXL to Stuff, and she graced the cover of Playboy in 2006. In addition, she acts as a memorable spokeswoman for GoDaddy.com, starring in multiple controversial and nearly too hot for TV commercials that began airing during Super Bowls XXXIX and XL. Candice embodies the spirit of a true WWE Diva, that being a woman who can kick ass and look good doing it. With her particularly striking combination of good looks, in-ring ability and bubbly personality, this the self-professed "Cheese Head" from Wisconsin could someday be considered one of the greatest WWE Divas ever.Source: WWE.com Abilities Evasive Dodge Fan Favorite Possum Pin Signature Moves Crucifix Head Scissor Spinning Wheel Kick 2 Finishers Candywrapper Candylicious PS3/360 <embed src='http://videomedia.ign.com/ev/ev.swf' flashvars='object_ID=14242649&downloadURL=http://ps3movies.ign.com/ps3/video/article/911/911415/svr_candice_091808_flvlowwide.flv&allownetworking="all"' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' width='433' height='360' ></embed> Wii soon Candice Michelle credit - Greg Miller, ps3.ign.com |
<font color=goldenrod>ugh, the podcast is up and as always, fucking Ledesma dangles the mystery mode in front of everyone only to say they aren't ready to announce it yet
he did, however, say that you'd be able to go after all the championships in it...so I'm thinking maybe a No Mercy-esque mode?</font> |
<font color=goldenrod>The only other interesting note was that at least 30% of the roster is making their first ever SD game appearance, which is pretty awesome
Oh, and Maria likes to play with herself</font> :shifty: |
:lol: gruesome greggy is amazing

ZOMG, totally gonna masturbate to Maria's entrance.

HMMM I wonder if Hogan is one of the legends since Real American is in there.
