September 30, 2008 - Grab your steel chair, elbow pads, and Magic Marker-laden poster board -- the SmackDown Countdown is finally here.
For eight years IGN's been teaming with THQ to bring you videos, screens, and information for every playable character in the latest WWE videogame, and this year is no different -- except for the fact that it's very different. Rather than hand you the entire roster at the onset of this feature and then profiling the people on it day by day, we're going to give you the roster one person at a time.
That's right; every day we'll be announcing a new character in the game.
Monday through Friday from now until the release of WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009, we'll be profiling Superstars, showing their entrance, signature move, and finisher on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii. Now -- PSP, PS2, and DS users -- if you see the Countdown pop up on your channel with videos from the PS3, it's not a mistake. That appearance means that character is in your version of the game. We're hoping to have weekly updates to your media sections with platform-specific stuff.
We've got a long way to go, but keep in mind that you're a huge part of this Countdown. Both Friday Fights and the THQ&A are back this year. Every Friday -- in addition to the Countdown -- IGN will post either a match in its entirety or a quick developer Q&A. If you check the IGN SmackDown vs. Raw message board, you'll find threads where you'll be able to vote on who you want to see fight and in what match as well as post your questions for the developers.
Can you smell what we're cooking?
Debuting in 1993, Tommy Dreamer is the longest tenured Original in ECW. His blue collar ethic is something that all aspire to, and it finally paid off when he won the ECW World Title from Tazz in 2000.
The first wrestler ever to kick out of "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka's Superfly Splash, Dreamer is often considered the heart of ECW for his loyalty and devotion. He is best remembered for his long-term rivalries and classic matches with Sandman and Raven.
The 14-time WWE Hardcore Champion would have an integral role in the revival of ECW when he helped Paul Heyman book the inaugural One Night Stand. As soon as the ECW brand was back in full swing, Dreamer was there. It would be hard to ever imagine ECW without Tommy Dreamer.Source: WWE.com
