New Q & A: It's just a matter of days before SmackDown! vs. RAW 2006 hits store shelves, and fans still have many questions riding in their heads. Though they know they will get the answers once they play the game themselves, they want these answer now, and who could blame them? The SmackDown! series has been by far one of the most successful franchises of all the wrestling games released. As I promised last week, I sent in 10 questions to THQ, and they delivered. Hopefully these question will put some fans at rest for a while, and at the same time keep them wanting more from this highly anticipated game. I would like to give my thanks to Jamie Jenson for accepting this interview and Bryan Williams for taking the time to answer these questions and I hope to do more interviews with them in the near future. Once again I warn that this is GTAKING.com exclusive. If you wish to post this on your website, please e-mail me at [email protected] First of all, I would like to thank you for taking the time in answering these questions. Very much appreciated. GTAKING.com: Since created superstars will have voiceovers this year, is there a limit in making good/bad choices in season mode, or will it expand even more? Bryan Williams: There have been no limitations placed upon created Superstars as a result of created Superstars being given a voice in WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2006. We never look to add a feature at the expense of removing or limiting another feature. GTAKING.com: General Manager Mode has been confirmed on top website IGN.com, can you tell us a bit more on what else can we do in this mode? Can divas be picked in the draft and involved in storylines for example? Bryan Williams: Yes, Divas will be selectable in the draft and will play a prominent role in the mode. Success in GM Mode will be based on how well players handle the Superstars on their rosters, and that includes the lovely Divas. Divas will want and request shots at the Women’s Championship, and as the GM it will be the player’s responsibility to accommodate their requests. GTAKING.com: There have been a few arguments on message boards about SvR2006's release date for the UK/US. Can you tell us when to expect the UK version and US version of SvR2006? Bryan Williams: The US release date for WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2006 is November 14, and fans in the UK can look forward to picking up their copies on November 11. GTAKING.com: I have also noticed in message boards that the fans want to create a lot of previous ECW/WCW legends/superstars. Will major parts (i.e. Stings face paint) be available in Create A Superstar? Bryan Williams: While I’m unable to get into specifics, Create A Superstar will contain an inordinate amount of Superstar parts and designs. GTAKING.com: As we all know, there are tons of WWE fans who love playing hardcore matches, but limits in previous years games didn't live up to their expectations. This year, what will we see new in hardcore matches? i.e. more weapons to choose from Bryan Williams: WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2006 will certainly include new weapons. However, where those weapons appear in the game you’ll just have to wait and see for yourself. GTAKING.com: So far we haven't seen much of the backstage. How much open area and different locations are we to expect? Bryan Williams: The Bar Brawl is an all-new backstage area making its debut in WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2006. Players will face off in a WWE-themed sports bar and utilize the surrounding environment as a weapon against their opponents. The Bar Brawl area, similar to the Parking Lot and Backstage areas that are also returning in WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2006, will contain a multitude of contextual grapple attacks that can be used to punish opponents. GTAKING.com: Since season mode is 2 full years to complete, how long until repetitive starts? i.e. Will season start all over again after 2 years, or will it continue on from where it finished? Bryan Williams: Each individual season of SmackDown and RAW will be self-contained. GTAKING.com: In last years version, Created Superstars who were champions would come out with the belt not looking fit around the waist, will the belts around the waist look much better on Created Superstars as it does on WWE Superstars? Bryan Williams: Yes. The all-around quality of created Superstars has improved significantly in WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2006, and that includes the appearance of any created Superstar wearing a Championship around his or her waist. GTAKING.com: Will created PPV arenas be available for online play? Bryan Williams: Yes. All of the offline PPV arenas will be available for online play. GTAKING.com: Just how many of the WWE Superstars can be used in Season mode? Can all be used, or is it certain amounts that actually get TV time in the WWE? Bryan Williams: A total of 32 Superstars, including three WWE Legends (Steve Austin, Mankind and Hulk Hogan), can be used in Season Mode. GTAKING.com: Again, I would like to thank you for taking the time in answering my questions I appreciate it very much. If there is anything else you would like to say to the fans on SvR2006, please do so, I'll have no problem posting it. Bryan Williams: I’d just like to thank the fans for their continued support of the series, and I hope they enjoy playing WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2006 as much as I enjoyed working on it. Thank you. WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW will be released later this month.

New IGN Play of the day videos. A Legends TLC Match between Bret, Bulldog and Jake Roberts. http://media.sports.ign.com/articles/663/663778/vids_1.html Wow... Ladder match AI is weird.

Pretty sure you can. I'm hoping you can draft CAWs. If not, I don't see why you can't release the WWE guys and sign a roster of CAWs. Of course there are only 20 Roster spots per show in GM Mode and only 30 caws can be made. So both shows can't be full of CAWs... but I guess you can even it out with the released guys like Haas, Spike, Hassan, Jindrak, Christian, Jericho to create some kind of Indy Dream land. Which I think I may do when I get enough CAWs up.

Not watching the PPV. But I'd bet Mickie James wins the title tonight. They have a bad habit of rushing to put the belts on Tag Teams/Women's wrestlers. Edit: Darn I was wrong... but they still do.

Some Q and A from GamingRing.com.... (pretty long....) LOD's hair style and face paint are in CAW which I was happy to see since they aren't in the game this year. There are alot of hair styles this year, almost 100... The turnbuckle chop mini game as far as I can see, is gone. Unless its character specific and I highly doubt that. The Canadian Destroyer is NOT in the game. - Yes there alot of new/re animated moves this year. Alot more than people once originally thought. I could probably agree with the 40% THQ said after spending as much time with the game as I have recently. - No, unfortunatley the Styles Clash is not re animated. Q: How many CAW slots are there? A: Another question I checked because I knew it would be asked, there are 30 this year...two less than last year. But with the detail of the CAW this year, I can understand why. Q: In the list of names for CAW, is Quinn in there? A: Alright, i knew i forgot to add something I wouldnt do...you got me. Let me just get this over with, this is the COMPLETE listing of call names... Aaron Adam Adrian Alex Alexander The Alien Amanda Amber Amy Andrew Anthony Antonio Ashley The Beast Benjamin Big Daddy Blake Bradley Brandon The Brawler Brent Brett Brian Brittany The Bruiser Bryan The Bull Carlos Casey The Cat Chad Charles The Cheater Christina Christopher The Cobra Cody Colin The Corporal Cory The Cowboy Craig The Criminal Crystal Curtis Daniel Danielle David Derek Derrick The Devil Devin Donald Douglas Dustin Dylan Dynamite Edward Elizabeth Emily Eric Erik Evan Frank The Freak Gabriel Gary The Genius George The Ghost The Giant Gregory Heather The Hero The Hitman Hollywood Hot Stuff Ian The Icon The Immortal The Immovable Object The Irresistable Force Jacob James Jared Jason Jeffery Jeffrey Jennifer Jeremy Jesse Jessica Joel John Jonathan Jordan Jose Joseph Joshua Juan Justin Keith Kendall Kenneth Kevin The Kid Kimberly The King Kyle The Ladies Man Larry Laura Lauren The Legend The Legend Killer Luis The Machine The Man Marcus Mark Matthew Megan Melissa Michael Michelle The Miss The Monster Nathan Nathaniel Nicholas Nick Nicole The Ninja Patrick Paul The Peoples Champ Peter Philip Phillip The Player The President The Professional Prototype The Queen Rachel Raymond Rebecca Richard Robert Ronald Ryan The Saint Samuel The Samurai Sarah Scott Sean Sexy Girl Shane Shawn The soldier The Star Stephanie Stephen Steven The Superstar Tank Thomas Tiffany Timothy Todd Travis Tyler The Vampire Victor The Villian Vincent Wesley Will William Zachary Q: is there any new weapon and apron besides the head into apron moves??? Thanx A: What I have seen so far is slamming your opponents head into the ring apron and slaming them into the steel pole turnbuckle from the outside. Thats all ive seen so far. Q: I have seen a challenge that says break 5 weapons so I wondered what weapons actually break and is there a masterlock challenge in the challenge mode or anywhere in season from what you have seen? A: Some of the weapons take FOREVER to break, so thats not gonna be easy. The easiest one to break is the chair and that takes almost a dozen hits to break and dissapear. I have not seen the Master Lock challenge but I havent played through the RAW season, Ill keep you posted. Q: What are the songs that are currently in your build of the game? A: These are the current songs in my build... "Bang Bang" By Bumby Knuckles "I aint going no Where" By Ron J "Scream At Me" by Billy Ray "Crush Kill Destroy" by Post "King of the Mat" by Vada "You Dont Want War" by Bumby Knuckles "The Broken" by Fireball Ministry "Unretrofied" by Dillinger Escape Plan "Pieces" by Dark New Day "Waiting" by Not Forgotten "Symphony of Destruction (remix)" by Megadeth "Start of War" by Static X Q: Are there any new grapple moves off the ladder? A: Not that I have seen sorry. Q: Does Bret Hart have voice overs for season? Ive been dying to find out. A: I doubt it, cause you cant use him in season and I havent played the Legend Tour story line yet so i dont know for sure. Q: Is there a cobra clutch slam like the one Renee Dupree used for a few weeks available for him and for CAWs? A: Dupree's finishers are the Death Valley Driver and the Dupree Bomb Q: is rock playable in season and does he have a voiceover A: The Rock is not playable in Season thus he has no voice over. Q: can I give my CAW an nWo entrance (including the black and white lighting like Hollywood Hogan?) A: I just checked...and put the Hollywood Hogan entrance on Matt Hardy and everything is in black and white, including Hardy! Its awesome! nWo 4 life!!! Q: Can you make the CAWS fat this year? A: Yes you can! Q: Have you checked out how many layers a CAW can have? A: 32 Layers, i just looked Q: would like to know what old wrestlers attires are in the game, maby one or two of the city/call names and which wrestlers hair styles are in the game besides hawk, animal and hardy. And thanks for all your hard effort. A: There is way too much attire to go through man, not tonight...sorry bro I will soon though. Q: Hi just curious....have you seen any new moves for Paul London in the game? Namely the Mushroom Stomp & the Waffle Face or does he have generic cruiserweight moves? A: I have not used Paul London, but his finishers are...450 Splash pin and the Dragon Suplex Pin Q: where can we find the barbie weapon (foley's bat with barbwiring) in the game??? A: In Hardcore matches, its under the left side of the apron. Q: Is the Evolution theme in? Are there any WWE themes that are not used for the roster like Degeneration X? A: Just McMahons and Bischoffs, no Evolution or D-X Q: Are there entrance moves for Goldberg and Brock Lesnar? A: Brock yes, Goldberg no. Q: can you not have a announcer call your name like the just dont say it at all? A: The announcers do not say your name in the game. Q: Here's another one. In create an entrance, can we carry things down to the ring? I would only be interested in towel and a water bottle. I want to create an entrance with a towel and water bottle in my hand like I just got back from working out or something. You are definitely the man for taking the time to let us ask you these questions. A: Unless that specific wrestler holds it on his way to the ring you cant carry it either. Q: can you tell us about the tag team entrances? Is there a tag team nWo entrance? DX? Ok...tag entrances...There are 8 of them. 1.) Eugene And William Regal...I just had Batista and Big Show come out as them LMAO!!!!!!! 2.) The Bashams I believe 3.) You yell at the crowd almost the whole time, could be Flair and Triple H? Could be Hassan and Daviari...Im not sure... 4.) Eugene and Regal # 2 not as good as the first. 5.) This is Hassan and Daviari...Im sure of it!!! 6.) The Bushwhackers 7.) Charlie Haas and Miss. Jackie 8.) Generic Tag Entrance Trio Tag, only 3 of em... 1.) Degeneration-X 2.) Hogan, Hall, and Nash...n...W...o!!!! All black and white. 3.) Generic one i believe from looking at it. Q: In your current build does/did Jake Roberts have a brand new DDT in the game or was he given a previous one from an older game? A: It looks like both of Jakes DDTs are new, for him. I could be wrong but they look great! Q: Can Carlito use his apple as an weapon? A: LMAO! He uses it in the winning animation and spits on his opponent, thats it. Q: In season mode does your character talk this time or is it the same as last year were he mime's and text is shown A: Yes, your character speaks in season mode. Q: do they have after match beat downs, or is it only winning animations? Is the hair better as in more options or better quality...or both? A: Only winning animations, the hair is better in quality and options in my opinion. Q: Belts on CAWs, does it still look like the belts are too big for the CAWs or do they fit on them like they do on normal superstars? A: They don't look perfect in this build, but definitley the best ive ever seen them look on CAWs maybe on the last build we will know for sure. But for now, they look better than last year but not as good as the real wrestlers. Q: can you watch championship matches in exhibition? like cpu vs cpu for the created championship? A: Yes you can. Q: Ok here is my question and its a damn good one, what exactly happens when you close your opponent inside the casket?? A: Not much, you tell the dumpster to dump the dirt on the casket and then lightning hits the tombstone and you celebrate. Thats it...pretty lame really. Q: Like I asked before, is it possible to make fat people in CAW mode this year? Because I was planning on making Earthquake, and Yokozuna. A: I already said yes! Do NOT ask this again!!! Q: does taker have an alternate attire? A: Not in this build Q: do female caws also look better? A: Yes I made one, it looks fantastic Q: is there a new tombstone? A: No Q: Any news Kane related in SvR 2006 like for example ... New Chokeslam or different NEW chokeslam in the game , new animated Tombstone or SD1 tombstone, Does Kane have his own season mode storyline= aka Character specific storylines (When you pick kane he will have kane related storylines and such) Who has Character specific storylines in Svr 2006? Any new chokeslams in the new game ? Thats all i can think of I hope 1 of these will be answered at least ! *Prays* A: Kanes story line on RAW starts off like anyone else, i just checked.

A: No you cant Q: hey im new at this and i was wondering if stone cold does his beer bash after a win and if so does it look better this year ? thanks A: No he doesnt.

Is Buffalo, New York an option of hometown? A: Yes Buffalo, NY is IN! Q: Crap...I don't want to be rude or sound rude or anything...but I was just wondering if the cobra-clutch slam was in the moveset thing where you pick a move. I knew that Dupree didn't get it, but someone told me on DOR2 he has it as a normal move, so I thought it might at least be in Smackdown. A: There is a move called the Cobra Clutch bomb but i dont think thats what your talking about. Sorry but thats all there is! Q: How many people can be in a stable, and is there a manager slot? A: 5 Members Q: Are J.R. and King/ Cole and Tazz interactive? If not, do they say stuff when you get close to them? A: No and No Q: Can you do moves on the weapons. A: No not really. Q: Can you give your CAW like a hat like the undertakers then give him undertakers entrance(or the ring part) and have him take the hat off? A: I gave Takers entrance to Matt Hardy, he came out with the hat on from Takers entrance and takes it off. There ya have it! Q: are Girls barred again from Matchtypes? If yes, which one? A: Yes they are, from quite a bit. Im sure you can figure out which ones I dont want to go look through them all right now. Q: does stone cold has voice overs?? A: Yes he does. Q: when you play a FYF match do the 1st and 2nd player always have the same uniform, or does each diva have her own clothes? What i mean is, player 1 always wears the same outfit, or if you pick trish 1st, and in another match lita 1st, do they have different outfits? A: Yes each divas clothes are unique in FYF. Q: Divas in mixed tags? A: Yes they can be in mixed tags, I just checked.

And to wrap up this "Wrestler/Legend" of the day stuff... The Rock: http://media.ps2.ign.com/media/717/717798/vids_1.html They said they won't be showing the PSP Legend (aka Jake Roberts) but you can see him in the above post anyway.

GM Mode FINALLY revealed! http://ps2.ign.com/articles/662/662051p1.html I wonder why they hid it for so long.... sounds like alot of fun.

Legends of the day: Andre The Giant: http://ps2.ign.com/articles/662/662053p1.html Bret Hart: http://ps2.ign.com/articles/662/662054p1.html Only The Rock and PSP Legend (Jake I guess) left

New IGN "Play of the day" movie http://sports.ign.com/articles/661/661909p1.html Featuring an Elimination Chamber Match between Batista, Orton, Triple H, Cena, Jericho, and Angle

Just saying... I remember the Bulldog with that attire and entrance having the dreads. Heck, the pic of him in his tron is with the dreads... ANYWAY interesting news 2 UK corporate websites have GM MODE listed on the official boxart. http://img.tesco.com/pi/entertainment/MM/L...7329_GS_L_B.jpg http://www.woolworths.co.uk//product_image...54/12205470.jpg Interesting... Oh and Mankind is up http://ps2.ign.com/articles/661/661498p1.html

Legends of the Day: Bulldog: http://ps2.ign.com/articles/661/661499p1.html Really doesn't look right without the dreads.

That they are! JYD: http://ps2.ign.com/articles/661/661223p1.html Million Dollar Man: http://ps2.ign.com/articles/661/661224p1.html I usually can care less about entrances... but Ted's is awesome. Just love that theme...

Legends of the day: Stone Cold Steve Austin: http://ps2.ign.com/articles/660/660890p1.html Jimmy Hart: http://ps2.ign.com/articles/660/660889p1.html New Q&A as well: http://ps2.ign.com/articles/660/660888p1.html

Fuck. I'll still be getting it to play Season with the Legends. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> All I meant from that... is the stuff I posted on it (and edited out) was fake. There is still very good chance GM mode is in. All the signs are pointing to it, and most people with BETA copies have more or less hinted that it's in. We'll see.... In other news, GamingRing posted a Paul London Vs. RVD - Cage Match http://gamingring.com/~mike/Smackdown/Steelcage.wmv Notes of interest: RVD's rolling thunder is now a proper ground move with an actual impact, and a few good looks at London's Dropsault! As well as the new Cage Door feature. Check it out...

Where was that revealed? The photo looked pretty legit.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't mean the back of the box photo, that's been around for awhile (if that's what you mean) It was another photo of a GM MODE Trophy, that was revealed to be photoshopped. And all the detailed info I posted earlier on the mode was made up by some moron.... SO everything is still up in the air right now. But to make up for that, here's a neat bit of info on the Move Sets from GamingRing: "You can pick the 4 other grapples. You don’t HAVE to have “Power, Submission, etc”. You can Mix and Match choices including Power, Technical, Luchador, Martial Arts, Old school, and Submission." Finally, certain CAWs aren't forced to have a whole set of Submission grapples.

EDIT: Sorry... all that GM mode stuff was revealed to be all bullshit posted by some idiot. Knew it sounded too good to true.

LEGENDS OF THE DAY! aka a Whole lotta HOGAN! 80's Hogan! http://ps2.ign.com/articles/660/660398p1.html Hollywood Hogan! http://ps2.ign.com/articles/660/660399p1.html 80's Hogan is 96 overall... wow.

Final Wrestlers of the day: JBL: http://ps2.ign.com/articles/660/660028p1.html Batista: http://ps2.ign.com/articles/660/660029p1.html Tommorrow the legends countdown starts... get ready for alot of Hogan. Also neat Season write up at IGN http://sports.ign.com/articles/660/660160p1.html including first pics of a Jimmy Hart and The Bulldog.

As far as new moves. I haven't noticed any thing major yet (no big Indy moves that is) Just some I remember: Danny Basham has a spinning Baldo Bomb Eugene has a new People's Elbow Shelton has a Cobra Clutch into a backbreaker, and his T-Bone Powerslam move New Tornado DDT Press Slam into a backbreaker Standing Gord Buster Paul London has his dropsault (as a striking move) Lita has a new Snap DDT finisher. alot of new smaller redone moves like arm submissions, half crabs Some of the new animations are good (Edge's stalking spear for one) but some are actually worst IMO, like The Dudley Dog, Big Show's chokeslam. They are motion capped and seem to lack any real impact.

Wrestlers of the day: Chris Jericho: http://ps2.ign.com/articles/659/659655p1.html Rob Van Dam: http://ps2.ign.com/articles/659/659656p1.html Also IGN has a Cage match video up: http://sports.ign.com/articles/659/659731p1.html Crazy eh?

Also a look at the Hell in the cell http://sports.ign.com/articles/658/658995p1.html Mostly the same... except they climb it slower. And GamingRing posted an Angle Vs. Batista match http://gamingring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43311

Wrestlers of the day: Shelton: http://ps2.ign.com/articles/658/658874p1.html Kurt Angle: http://ps2.ign.com/articles/658/658873p1.html Looks like they will finish up the roster by Friday... then start on the Legends I guess.

PWG's "Straight To DVD" Takes Places On Friday, October 14! By Silverback, PWG Staff Writer Rainbow Lake, CA – Newly promoted Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (http://www.prowrestlingguerrilla.com) commissioner Dino Winwood's first solo event seemed to be going pretty well, until things got out of control, that is. First, Scott Lost interfered on behalf of Joey Ryan. Then Joey hit Dino with a chair. Then Joey interfered on behalf of Scott. Then Chris Bosh punched a ref. Then Chris Bosh won the match and was the new champion. Then Kevin Steen was still champion. Then Dino Winwood learned first hand about stomach ulcers. The biggest news of the evening came when Chris Bosh actually pinned PWG Champion Kevin Steen, but the result was immediately overturned, as Bosh was disqualified for striking PWG official Marty Valenza earlier in the match. Kevin Steen felt that this was an extremely fortunate turn of events, but Bosh, along with many fans, felt this was extremely unfair. Commissioner Winwood decided to make lemonade out of the situation, and give Chris Bosh a rematch! Not only is Chris Bosh getting a rematch, but former PWG Champion AJ Styles is getting a rematch! Wha huh?! That's right! AJ Styles, who did not receive his rematch for the title, pinned Steen during the Battle of Los Angeles, is also demanding a rematch against Chris Bosh, who defeated him in the finals of BOLA 2005! The only way to possibly make sense of all these convoluted rivalries is to make the main event of "Straight To DVD" a 3 Way Match for the PWG Championship, with "Mr. Wrestling" Kevin Steen defending the title against "Photogenic" Chris Bosh and "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles! Also taking place at "Straight To DVD" on Friday, October 14 at 8PM at the Hollywood-Los Feliz JCC is: - Newly crowned PWG Tag Team Champions Super Dragon & Davey Richards vs. Chris Sabin & Petey Williams! Sabin and Williams were originally meant to face 2 Skinny Black Guys for the titles, but Sabin's injury forced a change in plans. Now that he's 100%, he and Williams intend to make this the 2nd shortest tag title reign in PWG history (The shortest is like 13 hours, so it's a tough one to beat.) - Joey Ryan vs. El Generico! With Joey's recent (questionable) victories over vastly technically superior opponents, he's gotten a bit of a big head. Everyone is sick of hearing about it, especially Dino, who is going to throw a little "ole!" Joey's way to deflate his oversized mellon! - Scott Lost vs. Chris Hero! Scott helped Joey Ryan defeat Chris Hero at "After School Special," and immediately after the match, Hero demanded a shot at one of the two! Dino obliged, but already has plans for Joey, so Hero can take out his frustration on "The Professional!" - "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels vs. Scorpio Sky! Scorpio Sky still wants his revenge on Scott Lost, but he's going to have to get in line! Since Chris Hero is already getting a shot at Lost, Dino will give Scorpio Sky a chance to elevate his career by facing the one and only Christopher Daniels! - Disco Machine vs. Quicksilver! These two met in the frantic six man match at "After School Special," and Quicksilver wants to avenge his team's loss, but Disco intends to prove it was no fluke! Plus Dino Winwood will answer Joey Ryan's challenge! Also scheduled to appear: TJ Perkins, Top Gun Talwar, Ronin, Hook Bomberry, and More! Pro Wrestling Guerrilla's "After School Special" takes place at the Hollywood-Los Feliz JCC on Friday, October 14, 2005 at 8:00PM. The Hollywood-Los Feliz JCC is located at 1110 Bates Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90029. Tickets are only $15, and will be available at the door.
