Sandman - Image 1 


Wrestling fans of all current platforms, rejoice - two new superstars are confirmed to be making their debut appearances in the upcoming wrestling title, WWE Smackdown Versus Raw 2008 (DS, PS2, PS3, PSP, Xbox 360, Wii) . We give you the skinny on the title that lets you step into the shoes of your favorite WWE superstar and claim your rightful place as the wrestler with all the gold.

So who are these two new superstars? Well, if you missed the enormous clue in the title, the latest additions to the game's roster are as follows: Jeff Hardy, second half of the high-flying Hardy Boys, and the ECW legend The Sandman. It's something to note that neither wrestler made it in last year's game, WWE Smackdown Versus Raw 2008 - making this their next-gen debuts.

Little bit of background on these two: Jeff Hardy is, as we've said, the second half of the Hardy Boys, the devastatingly-efficient tag team famous for their arsenal of high-risk, acrobatic moves, most of which taking place from the top rope. Dropkicks, splashes, moonsaults, you name it, they've done it.

The Sandman is a different matter entirely. He's not much of a flier like Jeff Hardy is, but coming from ECW's ranks, The Sandman is known for being a tireless juggernaut that loves to feel pain as much as he loves dishing it out. Never seen without his signature kendo stick, as well as a fresh beer on hand, The Sandman is a well-loved legend that can show anyone in the wrestling world what Hardcore really means.

More updates about the latest entry in the Smackdown Versus Raw series as we get them!

» Cool.

Not really big into wrestling anymore, it lost the raw language and sexual content and the maturity levels went very low. That made the show very boring. As for the games, I really enjoy them and the gameplay is amazing, as well as the graphics. Guess it's kind of like DBZ, worst show ever but the game is simply the best fighting game i've ever played.

Cool deal, I was hoping for Sandman to be in the game, although I was kinda expecting it.

» Uh...

What does ECW have to do with anything? Sandman is on RAW now. He got drafted, reason I know this is because I went to their website to see what the hell was up with Chris Benoit, I personally never liked the guy, I thought he completely sucked.

» uhhh

Well, who gives a crap about wrestling anyways. They're all actors and that's great. *Real* actors don't pretend to not be actors.... weird.



In other news, I played Fight Night 3 tonight. Man, is that a great game or what?

BUt it's not better than Smackdown VS. Raw.



"*Real* actors don't pretend to not be actors.... weird"- sure they do... when they're acting.
