ROFL last night someone on IGN posted a link to another board, where someone had a "magazine scan" leaking the entire roster. It was ridiculously well done, but it was obviously fake.

The roster had 70 active superstars and no legends (like 12 useless divas)...and it would have been the most outdated roster of all time because it was seemingly based no later than early January.

The things that made it obviously fake include:

1. Big Show was in there despite not returning until No Way Out, whereas a guy like Kofi Kingston was missing even though he debuted earlier
2. Chuck Palumbo wasn't there even though he actually had a big storyline at that point (Jamie Noble however, did get in)
3. People who were rarely used, MIA, or injured for a long time like Boogeyman, Helms, Dykstra, and Mike Knox all somehow made the cut
4. Jobbers like Balls, Nunzio, and Stevie got in somehow
5. Shane McMahon was in and on the Raw roster for some reason
and
6. OVR ratings and brands were included...all of the OVRs of people we've seen in the countdown were all wrong and the brands were outdated to reflect the time period (ie: Chavo and Kane on SD, Shelton on ECW, etc)...I suppose those two things are easily changeable, but its still clearly fake...case in point, I remember Vince had a higher OVR than Regal.

I was gonna post the pic here but the boards were down for a while last night and I can't find the topic on IGN anymore. If I find it I'll post it. But yeah, I just find it hilarious how not only did someone go through the trouble of making a top-notch mag scan replica but people actually believed it.
