I like the theory someone floated out here that there aren't any natural tag teams because they didn't want to spend the time trying to fix tag team AI, so their answer was to make people not want to play tag matches. Makes sense in their Bizarro universe. Same with fixing cruiserweight hit/lift detection. They removed guys like Super Crazy, and in the demo build that I played, Rey could lift Taker with certain moves.....

Has THQ ever commented on why they were left off of the roster. yeah they did here it is from IGN: Hey, What About This Team? Do you have something against Paul London and Brian Kendrick because they have been left out once again and they were tag team champions for close to a year. -- randyorko Good question "randyorko." I have seen some complaints about their omission; however it was out of our control. They were on our initial list, but we were requested to remove them for other talent. When we expand our roster next year, hopefully they will make it in the game. We apologize if your favorite Superstar is not on the roster. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They were on our initial list, but we were requested to remove them for other talent. I can just see Johnny Ace and/or Vince McMahon looking at an early build of the game... Vince: "Looks good, but wait a minute... why are Paul London and Brian Kendrick in this game? They don't even work for me!" Cory Ledesma: "Mr. McMahon, with all due respect, they are quite popular wrestlers, even Smackdown tag champions for a year, and even though we've had a blast screwing with our fans in recent years we thought we'd put these guys in the game this year..." Vince: "SHUT UP! Did you just say the "W" word? Our entertainers are Superstars! And I don't know these guys at all, YOU'RE FIRED!" Ledesma: "Mr. McMahon, I am the creative manager of THQ and I don't work for your company. Even though people say I'm a spineless goblin-like creature, you can't fire me." Vince: "I'M VINCE MCMAHON, DAMMIT! Well... at least remove those two Superstars, whatever their names were. They're too small and can't work believably. Replace them with Snitsky and Kelly Kelly and while you're at it, make Candice Michelle's breasts larger!" Ledesma (resigned tone): "...yes sir, Mr. McMahon!"

I fixed for more Ledesma bashing.

It's not the out-of-dateness that bothers me....I'm GLAD fired people like Booker, Sandman, and Cryme Tyme are still in the game, I still like them. I'm pissed off that they put idiots in there no one would ever use, like Kenny Dykestra, but they left out important tag teams like Murdoch and Cade and Londrick, ECW guys like Balls, Thorn and Stevie, and don't let you use any ECW guys in season mode. That has nothing to do with dates or deadlines, its laziness and bad game design. Yeah, that's something thats been bothering me for a few years now. Listen, I am NOT sexist. I just don't see the need of putting the divas in the game. I'm sorry but I really don't think they are more important than Londrick, The Redneck Wrecking Crew, WGTT or pretty much the ECW Roster.. The fact that Torrie Wilson or Kelly Kelly get in the game..female characters on WWE programming that never wrestle and are usually featured as valet's should not be on the roster. I remember a few years back in a SD game..I'm not sure which one..but you could choose Paul Heyman ONLY as a manager and nothing else. That was great. .why not do that with the Divas? I guess I'm just frustrated. I'm tired of having these people in the game who no one picks and even if anyone wants to choose them in a match..they are limited with what match types you can use them for! Its a waste of time and space. The commentary and all that crap doesn't bother me because I instantly shut it off anyway. Commentary in a wrestling game is not needed at all and is a total waste of space and memory. I usually play SD a lot when I own it..and I can only listen to looped commentary so many times..so, having JR and the King say the same thing for the past 3 years isn't something that is keeping me from getting the game. The Johnny Nitro thing is also something that is annoying me. Why did they take his coat away? Its not really that hard to change someone's name and music..its not like he totally changed his attire or grew a beard..or cut his hair. Although, they seemed to have the time to take Benoit out..but who knows? Do I ever hate MNM's theme music, I seriously think it borders on Right to Censor as the most annoying theme ever used in WWE. and finally..why the hell isn't Santino in the game!? I went out to my local GameStop recently, and purchased a game for $15. WWE Raw 2: Ruthless Aggression. And I love it. Sure, for some reason you can't use the Custom Soundtrack feature on a 360, but who cares? Edit attires (Stevie has his proper attire, and Nash is nWo, etc), AMAZING moves (it's a Teddy Hart Heaven with all the flippy moves!), and a multi-year Season mode. The game plays like BUTTONMASHBUTTONMASHBUTTONMASH, but that isn't stopping me from enjoying the game.

I can no longer appreciate it however, as my Xbox died about 6 months ago.
