No problem! Glad you enjoyed this!

At the end only the big names stayed in the ring. Congratulations to the winner!

[@VanHellingtonStudios]

A rightful win for sure!

And they already got the finisher, when they enter the ring? Weird. John Cena and Rowdy Roddy Piper did very well in this battle.

[@VanHellingtonStudios]

Yeah weird indeed, couldn't change it. But it kinda makes sense since they usually enter in a big way I guess

I thought wwe smackdown vs raw had a bit unrealistic graphics and models, gameplay was slower than previous games. But in terms of the realism of throwing wrestlers out of the ring in this video, everything is much better. But why are there no names of wrestlers?

[@VanHellingtonStudios]

I always thought SvR had a way more realistic artstyle and lightning, was a bit too bland and devoid of colour for my liking though. And I turned the hud off for a more televised experience. I tend to stare at the finisher bars filling up, removing it does make finishers appear out of nowhere, sort of haha
