September 30, 2008 - Grab your steel chair, elbow pads, and Magic Marker-laden poster board -- the SmackDown Countdown is finally here.

For eight years IGN's been teaming with THQ to bring you videos, screens, and information for every playable character in the latest WWE videogame, and this year is no different -- except for the fact that it's very different. Rather than hand you the entire roster at the onset of this feature and then profiling the people on it day by day, we're going to give you the roster one person at a time.

That's right; every day we'll be announcing a new character in the game.

Monday through Friday from now until the release of WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009, we'll be profiling Superstars, showing their entrance, signature move, and finisher on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii. Now -- PSP, PS2, and DS users -- if you see the Countdown pop up on your channel with videos from the PS3, it's not a mistake. That appearance means that character is in your version of the game. We're hoping to have weekly updates to your media sections with platform-specific stuff.

We've got a long way to go, but keep in mind that you're a huge part of this Countdown. Both Friday Fights and the THQ&A are back this year. Every Friday -- in addition to the Countdown -- IGN will post either a match in its entirety or a quick developer Q&A. If you check the IGN SmackDown vs. Raw message board, you'll find threads where you'll be able to vote on who you want to see fight and in what match as well as post your questions for the developers.

Can you smell what we're cooking?

Extreme Rules match confirmed if it wasn't already

Table match as an ability, interesting.

And why don't they call it the Dreamer DDT instead of DDT 17.

[RIOT!]

True to all of what you said Phoenix

Practically he looks the same as lat year's game IMO.

[Zcrux]

nice. Extreme rules confirmed and table match as an ability. There's Smoke's last ability.

[.Truth]

looks just about the same as 08 lat but i might play as him every once in a while

[∃xtremeEnigm∀]

nice model, but kinda the sme

[drcat125]

wow I can't believe he made the roster.

awesome

of course he is only ecw guy to sell the censored out every match.

[Jericho]

I noticed something. Look at his top in this picture:




Now watch his entrance and look at his top. There different ECW logos which means he could have multiple attires.

[phoenixsplash630]

Or just the he has a different picture on the selection screen, which is quite likely

doubt it

probably different logos in game. there was 3 last year in CAB. purple, white, and red

[Dday141]

Table Match? That sounds like the ability to use different grapples to put people through a table. And wow at his Hardcore stat this year. A whopping 91

[glennsoe]

Shouldn't he have the Ecw Extreme Rules match instead of the table match as an ability?

Same entrance as SvR08 :down:

[Ryan]

They've changed the attire a little which is good, it's more up to date. As for everything else about him, tbh, you can't really complain about thq/yukes not really changing much else with dreamer as he's barely changed at all in the past 10 years any way.

That's what sucks about THQ & Yukes.

[Sharpshooter93]

I hope its not an extra attire for him. I would rather have an extra attire for other more important people. I'm hoping Kendrick gets both his attires, One with London, and the other as The Brian Kendrick.

[Tommy]

That would be nice considering they where one hell of a tag team

[Dday141]

I doubt that would happen because he turned into THE Kendrick a bit too late to have his new persona added to the game.

THQ and Yukes suck because Tommy Dreamer has had the same gimmick, attire, and music for several years?

[The Fallen Angel]

Dreamer has a gimmick???

Anyways his overall is an 86!!!! How is that possible, he has been a jobber for the last 2 years.

His overall is proabably boosted by his high hardcore stat, it's like 91.
