Anyone care to list off who can't be used in Season? Also I heard a minor complaint on GameFaqs that the WWE Title never changes to it's proper belt form in Season (apparently you can pick which version to use in Exhibition).

I was waiting for Joe's rival to come back as I recall that Seth said on the commentary for the Special Olympics episode that they intended to make hi ma regualr character. He seemed to be much less confident in his abilities this time around. Novel and knee injury references were awesome. Loved the way they worked them in.

Well sometimes you never know... I ASSUME he wouldn't, but there might be some backlash about pointing out that a WWE superstar is short. I don't think in this case it would matter though for the reasons you mentioned.

King had a quick line that no one else seems to have caught that, unless I misheard, was pretty funny - he said he had to make sure to put Maria on his "to do" list. Not a bad idea if I say so myself.

I hope Styles doesn't get in trouble for pointing out how Michaels is usually the small man in his matches, but was the big man against Rey. That really made it clear to me just how small Rey must be (not that it matters to me or anything - he's one of my favs in WWE). It was a good match and I enjoyed seeing Shawn be the subtle heel by doing his not so subtle selling, if that makes any sense.

Pre-ordered today, was told they hoped to have it in tomorrow, Wednesday at the latest. They then warned me they (EB) would be busier than ever with Xbox 360 stuff arriving tomorrow so they may not have time to call me. It doesn't matter because I have to work noon to midnight tomorrow, so hopefully it does arrive tomorrow and I'll pick it up Wednesday morning.

I just read through this thread... what is the story with those two jokers doing haikus or what have you and blaming Downhome for Eddie's death? Stupid stuff... Anyway, as I've mentioned before, I cancelled plans made on Saturday to watch Raw at a friend's house in the event this show became too emotional for me, and it did right off the bat. Angle/Benjamin was a great TV match and took me out of the moment and made me feel good again, and I was ok until Benoit's promo broke me again. Cena/Orton was pointless as a match but Cena's post match tribute was great stuff. I applaud WWE for putting this tribute together and am interested in seeing SmackDown's version of it this week. Also, you could tell early on Styles was quite drained, even admitting that he needed to get into a match and call it to temporarliy get over Eddie. He still did a good job though and I really enjoy the little things that he points out (ex. Eddie and Cena's 2003 feud with the street fight).

Some football player is on now. Guess I was too late.

I was supposed to hang out with a friend tomorrow and watch Raw at night but I really don't think I can... I know I am not going be able to resist tearing up during Raw (in fact I almost did at work today... the later it got, the quieter it became, the more time I had to reflect) and he probably won't be able to either, and that's not the sort of moment I want to be a part of when I'm out of the house.

I don't recall the specifics but on a 2002 episode of SmackDown, it was a 6 man tag where the heel team was Eddie, Benoit, and Angle. Angle and Benoit started brawling. The face team (I believe it was Edge, Rey, and Rikishi) just kinda looked out confused... then Eddie joins them, puts his arm on one of their shoulders and acts like he was their pal. Not the greatest moment ever mind you, but quite hilarious.

The letters on WO.com are pretty good.

I read Meltzer's update to mean that Orton would be scheduled to win it NOW if they were to not think about it, but if people thought, they would realize it's not a good idea.

I think it would be nice if tonight they had a one night tournmanet that had Benoit/Rey as the finals. Just drop kayfabe all together tonight... have people talk about Eddie and how much he meant, admit Batista is injured.. I think that would be very nice. I am very interested in seeing what they do for SD! tonight.

I'm just in a state of shock and numbness right now. Trying to carry on with what I need to do today but this is hanging over my head and clouding my thoughts. All I wanted to read on the net today was that Eddie Guerrero won the world title. This is about as opposite as it gets. Very, very sad.

A friendly reminder that rosters lock tomorrow afternoon due to international tapings.

What does Toronto vs Kurt Angle mean? Angle vs. Edge? That's been done. Christian and Test are gone. Kurt Angle vs The Leafs? Interesting, but none are wrestlers so who cares. I'll buy a PPV for a wrestler wrestling a wrestler, thanks.

Unless WWE's back-up plan is to make Undertaker world champion by having him win the rumoured buried alive match at Survivor Series, Orton won't be winning it... However, now that I typed that, I could really see WWE giving Taker the belt over Orton at Survivor Series in Detroit to play up the history of that event and venue (Undertaker winning his first title at Survivor Series 91 at Joe Louis in Detroit).

From what I remember reading on GameFAQs you need to win story mode matches at WM21 and ECW ONS to bu ythose arenas.

I'm almost certain the big difference between EWR and GM Mode is you can't pick the winner in GM Mode, just assign champs. That's my understanding, anyway... would make it hard to bury people if that was the case.

Yep

I recall that being a rumour a while ago but I didn't think it would happen. That is quite awesome. When is this game coming out again? Also it's almost mid-November, where the hell is MMXC? Edit: I guess it's now coming out the first week of December. I'll beleive it when I see it.

I don't know who this MJ Styles fellow is or why he's just saying things without sources, but this "latest news" he posted is from the Monday's Observer, which came out before Batista's injury.

I posted in the General Forums 24/7 Thread but figured it deserved repeating here: WWE 24/7 Online Freeloaders: Another password will be out next week for people who buy SvR 2006 from GameStop that is good until the end of 2005. I assume it will be the same deal as the Taboo Tuesday one where it will be one password that the whole world can use.
