Does anyone still play the older SD games? If so, is there a way to give a CAW entrance attire in "Shut Your Mouth"?

No, I don't think they implemented that until HCTP.

My theory as to why the games have gotten worse is that there hasn't been any competition for THQ, and no impetus to change over the last few years. And WWE hasn't helped either. There's been rumoirs for years that they do NOT want a CAW in the mix, as they don't like the idea of created wrestlers being played more than their boys.

I dunno man what competition did SYM, HCTP, WM 2000 or No Mercy have? The last great, non-WWE wrestling game to be released in the US was WCW vs NWO Revenge. Once THQ lost the WCW liscense (And even the THQ made Nitro and Thunder) all the WCW games were crap, and the ECW games were just Attitude with lesser known characters,

That is a good point. Maybe it started when they dropped Sanders Keel as producer and hired Corey Ledesma. I don't want to throw it on one guy, but it seems like things started to backslide when that happened.

jesus, imagine what '08 would be like if they decided to tak it out, that game would 80% buttsecks! IGN would give it a billion outta ten!

[Wheresmy5bucks]

If they take out CAW, I'm not buying it.

I'm serious, the only reason I bought 07 was for some E-fed I've been in for a year at that point with original characters.

Which is funny because I HATED, HATED, HATED Sanders when he was there because he seemed like SUCH a tool and lied about a bunch of stuff, but, who knows. You might be right. Corey is certainly no better.

Well, given that I hate Corey Ledesma I have every reason to believe bad things are his fault.

Then again I hold Johnny Ace ultimately responsible for every bad thing that occurs in the WWE so maybe i'm a bit insane in the membrane.

Sanders fed people a bunch of baloney, too, but I never thought it was as bald-faced as the stuff the current team pulled.

"Oh yeah, well, when it comes to Custom Soundtracks, let's just say we've got a GREAT BIG SURPRISE for everyone!"
-*Custom Soundtrack pulled 2 months later*

Plus, Sanders always came across as someone that actually LIKED wrestling and knew his stuff. That's just me. Personally, nothing will be better as long as THQ is producing, and WWE has the screws to whatever company does it. Soooooo...

PWX! PWX! PWX! PWX! ;D

Speaking of PWX, one of the more recent newsletters talked about them working on 360 controller interface issues so they're definitely working on a 360 version at this time.

Well, not having custom soundtracks on the f***ing 360 when tons of wrestling games on the original XBox had it....that sure as f*** was a big surprise for me, LOL.

Which ones had them on the Xbox? The RAW ones had them? They were THQ made?

RAW 2 had custom soundtracks. Published by THQ, developed by Anchor.

So did the WrestleMania game made by Studio Gigante (wow, that SUCKED) and I think one or two of the LoW games but dont quote me on that

Studio Elegante? STRAIGHT TO DA PAY WINDAH, SHIBONNY!!

THe only redemming parts of that game were that they had a wrestling ring in a gym and the GHC title as a created belt. Fact.

This question has probably been answered before, but how do you unlock the Saturday Night's Main Event and One Night Stand arenas?

SNME gets unlocked after you beat the Superstar challenges. ONS gets unlocked after you beat an MITB exhibition match on Legend Difficulty.

Does Anybody know what I would have to do to play a Japanese wrestling game on a US Playstation2?

Which game(s) are the best??? I've looked at Wrestle Kingdom and it looks pretty neat, plus, playing as DARKNESS MUTA is greater than the sum of experiences you could have doing anything else.

I can find those games on, like, ebay, or something, right?

There are a couple ways. I think one of the AR/Game Shark devices out there supposedly lets you play forigen games, haven't tried it though.

Or, search for something called a "flip top loader". I've never tried this due to the fact you have to physically install it inside your PS2, but my friend swears by it.

Would it be reasonable to assume there would be some kind of translation for the game somewhere on the internets tubes?

By the way, do you know which game is the most fun to play, Godz? I've seen vids of Wrestle Kingdom and King of Colisseum 2 and WK seems smoother and more wrestle-y, I've seen vids of KOC2 that are two guys circling each other and sticking their chests out. However, I also found this game:

From what I've heard, Fire Pro followed by KoC 2. I wouldn't mess with Wrestle Kingdom because its made by Yukes just like SmackDown, but I'll try to find out if any of my friends have played it.
