Finally breaking free of one of the most useless acquisitions in WWE history, Trevor Murdoch.

[Excellent2]

I can see Cade being a big part in the WWE's future for some reason.

[Heart Break Kid]

yeah he'd young blood and he was taught by HBK so good things are bound to happen 4 him

[Excellent2]

Well I'm sure he's learnt a lot from jericho too, his technical ability has improved so much from when he first came on the scene.

[Heart Break Kid]

good point
and its not like he doesnt want to leave the WWE
his attitude has been remarkable
my mate seen him before in New York
he showed me the pics
he said he was one of the nicest people he'd ever met

WWE SVR09 Podcast http://www.gamingring.com/~mike/Arch...9.episode2.mp3 I've just listened to it, here are my notes:

SVR09 Podcast Notes:
Road To Wrestlemania Mode - Character driven, edited story modes, play as superstars in their own 'universe', no longer Undertaker going 'WOAH TEDDY GOT RAN OVER!" John Cena's story is about anti-American, never backs down, group of bad guys who take advantage of Cena. Chris Jericho's story is about WWE return, SAVE US code, someone else does mind games with Y2J, guess the mystery behind it. Undertaker's story is crazy production values, crazy effects, scary. CM Punk's story is from ECW, his up and coming hardcore style, overcomes this. Triple H has lots of relationships in his story; decide who your foes and friends are. Mysterio & Batista's story is about their history as tag team champions, decide whether to stick together or get split apart. Offline co-op. All wrestlers in this mode are traditional good guys, get stacks decked against you, done with the being hunted, you become the hunter. Can go on the attack and become heel. 2nd player real life co-op in Road To Wrestlemania Mode, but not online. 150+ minutes of cut scenes. Titles can be unlocked in Road To Wrestlemania Mode. Very much like television programming.

Career Mode - Performance based attribute system where you gain experience; sneak up behind gains sneaking ability, doing submissions increases submission ability etc. Kept storylines out of career mode. Record keeping, average time in matches, number of wins, losses etc. End of match rewards and bonuses, you break a chair you get a bonus. It's not match, match, match championship anymore. Win a belt and move on to win another belt. You can go back and wrestle superstars who are looking to win the Intercontinental title for example anytime. Added extra game play, if you win a number of belts, more game play is unlocked. To wrestle on the tag team title path, you can pick a superstar who you've beaten before to wrestle with you as a partner. Only one career mode can be saved at once. You can't be HBK and change to HHH without the career mode restarting from the start. Divas and CAWs can be used in career mode. By wrestling as a diva, you can win any title. [THQ then says 'If you wanna wrestle as Big Show, I mean... Sorry for that teaser...'] Male wrestlers can't win the Women's title. Rosters can't be edited half way through Career mode. Title matches can still be played in Exhibition mode. Title holders in Exhibition will be different to title holders in career mode. All abilities are available to unlock in Career Mode. 6 fighting styles can be unlocked for CAWs and WWE superstars. To build up performance of luchadore CAWs, climb the top rope a lot; do a lot of luchadore finishers such as moonsaults etc. To build up performance of hardcore CAWs, turn DQ and time out off before the match begins and start swinging chairs around. Infinite time in Career mode. If you want to wrestle the same guy 20 times to build up stats, you can do that. If you're 5 stars in every match, you can get to the title match quicker. Win main events to get a boost up of stats. If you just wrestle some guy in Career Mode and you just want to win the match as soon as possible, you won't get much performance increase and not many bonuses. CAWs start at a low level.

Statistical Tracking - Track distance dragging an opponent, tracks how you win matches, tracks counter success, tracks times you hit the referee, tracks distance that you run around the ring and much more.
