SmackDown vs. Raw 2008

...

What?

[Ruki]

The legends list in my mind is VERY lack luster.

But I am happy with the addition of Cor Von and Kenny....Will I use them? No, most likely not. I generally just use CAWs.

[VerbalPuke]

God damn disappointing to see London and Kendrick snubbed again this year. I probably wouldn't have used them a lot, but it would have been nice to have had them for a fleshed out tag team and lightweight division. Besides, as chincy as they were with the legends, why couldn't they have added those two?

Still, Rick Rude and Terry Funk are fucking awesome additions as legends.

And once more, Tommy Dreamer finally making it almost makes up for the snub of Londrick.

[LL!]

Also notice a lack of Kevin Thorn, Matt Striker, and Viscera.

[VerbalPuke]

Yeah, strange that those three wouldn't make it, but Marcus Cor Von would make it. Although, I admit that I'd rather use Cor Von then any of those three.

I'm not too annoyed, but it seems illogical that they can't make these rosters as accurate and full as possible. I understand that they can't add every single guy, or cut out every single guy that is released, but they could do much better than this (this statement being directed toward the powers that be in making the decision for the roster).

More than does in my book. >_>

[Ignition]

Agreed. But Cor von hasn't been used on ECW for months, whereas Thorn has been used steadily for a long time. I'm suprised V isn't on there. I hope they can add him in with his new gimmick and look.

It's certainly not bad, really the only guys missing are - Boogeyman, World's Greatest Tag Team, London, Kendrick, Vis, Thorne, Miz, Deuce & Domino, Mark Henry, Jimmy Wang Yang, Cade & Murdoch, and Duggan (I was convinced he'd be a Legend this year).

Some of those certainly don't surprise me, but Mizark and Boogeyman I thought for sure would be in.

For Vis, the Big Daddy V gimmick came WAY too late to make it in the game and Vis wasn't doing anything when the list was finalized. Striker was always the weak link of the New Breed so no surprise there. Thorne is a bit surprising, but I bet they dropped him when Ariel was on thin ice. And it's not that Cor Von isn't being used, he's in the middle of serious family issues so WWE is giving him time off. He was prominently featured on ECW around WrestleMania though.

Well, the PSP legends roster is considerably much better with Eddie Guerrero, Jim Neidhart, Sgt Slaughter... But I'm guessing they simply ported their skins from the past game.

Yeah, and out of that group, it's the tag teams that I miss the most. It makes me wonder which characters will be holding the tag team titles from the start of the game.

I've heard Batista/Rey Rey are Smackdown's Tag Champs while the Hardys are RAW's.

And if anyone cares about the DS version of the game, it has an exclusive character (due to the MUCH smaller roster) - Hardcore Holly.

[Bodom]

[R.W.]

I could be wrong, but I swear I remember mention of Xbox 360 DLC for SVR08 this year, to include extra wrestlers...?

[Bodom]

Oh shit Rick Rude? The Ravishing One is going to dominate. Cena fears The Rude Awakening!

What do the WWE have against Londrick? The 2nd game running that they could and should have appeared in.
