I loved Smackdown vs Raw 2007. I just hope they add Ashley Massaro to the game. Ashamed they didn't put her in 2007. But 2008 will be her year.

mynamesgenirc
I really hope they have jeff hardy and hornswoogle.

Gonzo
I love Elimination Chamber, I love season mode, I love Triple H. John Cena sucks. Everyone overrates him!

Gonzo
I think the Undertaker is going to be on the cover.

Franksy
I've got 2007, 2006 for the ps2 and I'm getting this for the Wii.

Sonic Fan
I wonder when Mr Kennedy is going to cash in the money in the bank.

Halski
I'm really looking forward to this, I just hope they don't make a mess with the control scheme.

crusoe
I think rey mysterio will be on the cover. He is the best.

john cena
Hbk sucks I think cena will be on the cover.

Franksy
We want John Cena! He's always been cool (since he was born).

Sonic Fan
I got to admit, John Cena has always kept the WWE Championship for a freaking long time. I hope he does keep it. Unless he challenges The Undertaker and loses (heh heh).

WWE
Looking forward to the release in october! Hope Jeff Hardy is on the game this time.

Kennedy lost the money. Edge, rey, hbk should be on front.

coxy
I hope you can make your own arena, and if it ain't on 08 it should be on 09, so that's another thing to think about THQ. Another thing, you should be able to have more than 6 men in the ring.

wwe fan 54
I think every superstar should have their own season mode, please THQ, because in 2007, mostly all superstars have the same story mode (except Edge). Please try to give every single superstar their own story mode, otherwise the game should be good.

tyler619
I bet Rey Mysterio and John Cena will be on the cover in 2008, and all the ECW extremest in it too. If only there will be a 2009.

Ian C
I can't wait for this one.

Sonic Fan
Acutally coxy, that would be a good idea. But if they did, then they probably would only do it for the Royal Rumble.

Gonzo
Yea, but John Cena already had SVR 2006. Maybe it should be Undertaker. He's so good, and I never remember him getting a game cover. Or at least Mysterio. Not Cena again.

rahoul
I like rey mysterio in the games.

Undertaker
Undertaker should be on the front and john cena, they're the best. I hope jeff hardy's on this game.

Sujal
It's going to release on 13 November 2007, for damn sure. It would have Jeff Hardy.

Ian C
I saw the cover, Randy is in it

Gonzo
I also saw the cover! It has Randy Orton, Shelton Benjamin, Mr Kennedy, Undertaker, Kane, Batisa, Carlito and Jeff Hardy! That's 8 freaking cover boys.

ECW
I hope they have tommy Dreamer.

Sonic Fan
I'm curious to know if MVP will make the cut. It's possible he might. Plus, I don't like Deuce and Domino. But Cherry's not my type of Diva. I'll stick with Torrie Wilson.

Link Q
I really hope the controls rule!

Sonic Fan
What if they add an Inferno Match where you have to set your opponent on fire to win the match? I mean, we all saw Kane do it to MVP back at Armageddon. So I think an Inferno Match would be a great idea.

jj
I love the strength of john cena, it's incredible. He should pick up the great khali.

Sonic Fan
I just read in the new GameInformer THQ has combined General Manager Mode and Season Mode this year. Also new this year, fighters will benefit from eight unique fighting styles "technical, high flyer, powerhouse, submission artist, hardcore, dirty, showman and brawler". Each fighter will be assigned two different styles. For example, the primary ability of the powerhouse fighting style is Rampage Mode, which increases the strength level of powerhouse superstars and also grants them a momentary boost of invulnerability, making them a truly formidable force within the squared circle. The secondary ability of the powerhouse style is something called the Irresistible Force, which allows players to forcefully and aggressively kick out of pinning situations. SVR 2008 will come out in November, but I don't know about the date. But nevertheless, this will be a kick ass game.

Sonic Phantom
Oh and jj, if you've seen WWE One Night Stand you'll see that John Cena did pick up The Great Khali. He F-Ued Khali off of a car. If you haven't seen it, then you should buy One Night Stand on DVD when it comes out.

wrestlemaniaC
I hope there is more special matches and rey & jeff on the cover.

Ian C
Candice is my hottie!

Gonzo
Wait, Sonic Fan, do you have a subscription to GI? I have one! You wrote the exact thing it said in the magazine.

Gonzo
Sadly, everybody, I have some bad news! Chris Benoit just died on June 25, 2007. They said CB murdered his wife and his 7 yr old son, and then committed suicide.

Marcus Bradshaw Jr
I would like for you guys to make superstars be able to join the commentators and also make commercial breaks at the turning point in the match.

Gonzo
Tell THQ that, not us.

steve
I would like for you guys to make superstars be able to hit the commentators because they talk too much trash about you sometimes.

Guillermo
MVP better be in this game and he better have a cool storyline. He is the future of wrestling.

Bennnnnnn
Jeff Hardy should be on this one. All the finishers should be updated for sure.

TaranCena
Jeff Hardy is #1 and if he's not in it I will riot.

brandon
Make the crowd more realistic and the commentary too.

Kyle Weaver
I hope they have a storyline for every superstar. I also hope they've got jeff hardy. He's my favorite wrestler ever.

gold berg
I think gold berg should make a comeback, he was the best. Why did he leave? Anyway they should have a last ride match and have tribute to the troops on the game.

gold berg
They should have a last ride match. And you should be able to fight actually in the crowd. I think that you should be able to light tables on fire like at wrestle mania what edge did to mick foley.

KINGOFTHERING
Jeff hardy will be in the game. There's a picture of him.

matt g
I want all superstars from smackdown, raw and ecw. I'd also like for the superstars to be able to hit commentators. Make it as realistic as possible. Make a storyline for every one. Put every kind of match in season mode and last make a career mode and let superstars be able to become legends. Oh yeah let the midgets like hornswaggle and little boogeyman be able to come in the ring.

bm
I hope they have boogeyman.

xlrt
I hope they have a inferno match and you could always put santino murella.

blanka
I agree totally with matt g. Storyline for everyone. A lot of work for the makers but the fans will appreciate it a lot more. Should make the created superstars look a lot more realistic and be able to become legends. Not too sure about midgets running around though. The crowd should however be more realistic and the commentators do chat some rubbish! Can't wait.

Trish Stratus
I want Trish in there but I don't think she will be.

Tony
I hope that you can set tables on fire like at WrestleMania 22.

alex
I hope they have hair vs hair match.
