#89 - WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2006 (PS2, 2005)

I was a huge wrestling fan in the late 90s and early 00s. My first wrestling game I ever owned was WCW Thunder, where the game itself sucked, but each wrestler had about 20 seconds to talk about how they were gonna fuck up whoever they fought, and thats rad. But the PS2 wrestling games were much better, culminating in my favorite: Smackdown vs Raw 2006. The main draw to this game was the GM mode, where you could take control of one of the two shows, and then battle the other to see who could get the better ratings. You could instill rivalries between wrestlers, have them run promos, and book matches to try and work up the fans as best you could. It wasnt nearly as in-depth as something like TEW, but it was functional, and that was good enough for me.

The game itself was great, too. That said, the one match my friends and I would play pretty much always were the Triple Threat Tag Team Ladder matches, which would lead to some hilarious shenanigans 100% of the time. Someone would be grabbing the belt, and then someone would take the ladder out from under them, and another would jump off a turnbuckle, and the physics would get all wonky and wed just laugh our asses off. Fun times.
