Their 5-match series this past July and August was, bar none, the best series of matches in any promotion this past year. Do yourself a favor and watch all of these matches.





Match #1

Start at the 36:00 mark.

I didn't like it. The one or two matches I seen with them seemed too much like the most current Money In the Bank match (aka setting up a spot, doing it, no sell, setting up a spot, repeat a million times)

In 2010, no. In 2011, yes, but the CAW maker has to have it as an option. It lets you know whether or not you can on the CAW details menu when you select it before downloading.

Harumph. Thanks for the answers, though.

Perhaps I should give SvR 2011 a shot for $20 at WM? Goes against my crybaby "I'm never gonna buy it new!" thing, but damn...$20.

[TheRock88]

I'd do it Myke. You also have an advantage over us 360 users cause you can transfer the themes over a flash drive instead of having to burn a cd.

Thanks Scorch, was also wondering about the volume edits. I heard if you have audacity, -6 or -4 tend to work best. Also about the Nexus titantron, I think he meant the video which is pretty lazy cause it's just the NXT logo flashing over and over again.

Fair enough. I really enjoyed them and since so few people here watch TNA I figured I'd give the opportunity for others to see the matches.

Carrying this over from the other thread:

Here's my second volume of Smackdown vs Raw themes for you guys. I had to edit a few, but I think they came out pretty good. Since Volume 1 had mostly individual themes and a few tag team themes (Corporate Ministry, Four Horsemen, Outsiders, and nWo), I decided to put mostly tag team/stable themes in this one. There's a few individual superstar themes in there, too, but it's mostly tag teams this time around.

ECW
Taz

WCW
Armstrong Brothers
Dungeon of Doom
Goldberg
Lex Luger (for the DLC)
Monday Nitro theme (since the arena will be DLC soon, I thought it was only fitting)
nWo Wolfpack

WWE
3 Minute Warning
Acolytes
British Bulldog (for the DLC)
Demolition
Evolution
Hardy Boyz
Legion of Doom
Los Guerreros
Nation of Domination
New Age Outlaws
Nexus (for the DLC - the edit that they put in the game is incorrect)
Oddities
Ted DiBiase (By request, his newest theme "I come from money". It's a little muffled, it's not perfect, but it's good)
The Radicalz
The Rock (By request, heel version)
World's Greatest Tag Team
X-Factor

Enjoy!

As always, if you have requests for a theme, PM me, I'll see what I can do.

I'll look into Audacity for my next batch of stuff.

Definitely get 2011, especially for $20!

[Scorch]

This is finally coming on DVD in March.. bahahahaha

[neocisco]

Oh my...

[diddy310]

Scorch looking around on Youtube it seems they gave them the generic NXT graphics isntead of their own video, which is weird considering they definitely had their own before Dashing Cody Rhodes had his newest one.


Also, I can't remember if this was in 2010, but one awesome thing they did this year was let you steer some finishers. (Sheamus' powerbomb was the first I noticed) Very helpful in getting people through tables.

It honestly took me about a month to realize you could control the direction of moves (not just finishers). Once I figured it out, it's a good change... had a lot of fun with it.

What's not a good change? Having to 'break' the HiaC to go outside. I don't like it in a general sense, but I really disagree with how specific it is. It's way tougher than it needs to be.

[TheRock88]

Nope wasnt in 2010, the directional steering was new for 2011.

[JJSP]

Hoping Amazon matches the $20 price.

[BlueSwim]

Hoping Amazon matches the $20 price.

For the 360, I'd bite at that price.

Also, dibs on the next thread.

[diddy310]

I haven't tried it, are they still using that same shitty animation for breaking through the top of the Hell in a Cell? If so it's been in there since I believe Smackdown 2.

[Halo05]

That movie is why MST3K should've never died. Goddamn.

[Brak]

Great thread title.

[Scorch]

They are. The exact same one.

They've reanimated some moves off the side of the cell, though.

I love steering moves, and I agree, breaking through the cell is WAY harder than it needs to be. I should play this game more. We (everyone) should play this game more online. If you see me on, send an invite.

[BlueSwim]

The Green Day theme for Smackdown sucks *SO* much. I don't usually watch Smackdown so this is the first time I've seen the full opening. Nickleback is pure shit, but at least their Raw theme fits in well enough.

[OnyxPrimal]

If you guys see me playing SvR2011 on line send me an invite.. I'll play a match or two. I tend to have to hop on and off due to my kids getting up through the night.

[Purple Flames]

That was a pretty good Last Man Standing match with a very clever and realistic finish.

[Mr. Beef]

Lingering from the last topic, but I thought you could rip mp3s to the 360 HDD from a flashdrive too? I'm fairly certain that I did it before, but I could be mistaken.

[diddy310]

Fatal 4 Way was lots of fun,especially the finish.

[TheRock88]

Nope, that only streams the music but you cant rip it onto the HD.

[JaytheGamefan]

God-DAMN that show ruled. The fans were into everything, and felt so bad for Rey after the loss that NUMEROUS FANS CONSOLED REY AFTER THE MATCH. Holy shit how great was that. Everything was really good and they set things up for the future nicely. Plus, YAY DOLPH GETS A WORLD TITLE PUSH. Looking forward to the Dolph-Edge match at the Rumble.

I'd do it Myke. You also have an advantage over us 360 users cause you can transfer the themes over a flash drive instead of having to burn a cd.

Yeah, I bit on SvR 2011. Copied the themes to my PS3 with ease. Even if I spent all the time burning music cds (which, while I'm not the greenest dude by any stretch, feels like such a waste of resources), turns out I wouldn't be able to use those mp3s w/ SvR 2010 at all. So...yeah. Too much trouble, and I'm not interested in building my own CAWs from scratch just to use themes when other people have already gone to the trouble to do a much, much better job creating them than I.

[-Never4ever-]

Smackdown was actually pretty good. I'd even go as far as to say it was great. If they have every episode come close to matching last night's show, I'll be a happy camper. I'd say my only gripes with the entire show was that the World HVT Championship match came before the IC match and

Spoiler

Dolph jobbed *TWICE* and is now the #1 contender. I'd much prefer McIntyere to win it and have Dolph & Vickie split, but that's just the McIntyere fan in me speaking.

WWE 2011 is a mixed bag. On one hand I love WWE Universe (even if it is limited in functionality and options) and I love the ability to download new stuff, I severly dislike the grapple system and boy howdy does Road to WM ever suck this year. Most certainly worth $20 though.

[cdubb1605]

So, for anyone who watched how did it all play out on SD?

[Purple Flames]

So, for anyone who watched how did it all play out on SD?

That was the best Smackdown in ages.

EDIT: Both RAW and Smackdown were both examples of what you were all discussing near the end of the last thread: what happens when storylines are kept to a minimum and the show is entirely focused on wrestling. People CARE when that happens, and they WILL watch in droves. WWE could easily put on show of this caliber on a regular basis and not just when someone on the active roster dies. Monday and Friday were devoid of anyone getting fired, kidnapped, exploding in a limo, forced to wrestle with a concussion, or accused of being the new Micheal Vick. If you simply have two guys in the ring and they feel that one is good enough to beat the other, that's all you need to to have a good, compelling match.
