“We are thrilled to offer fans the ability to further customize their WWE SmackDown vs. Raw videogame experience through a variety of in-game music options,” said Cory Ledesma, senior creative manager, THQ. “These songs are a perfect complement of WWE attitude and the spirit of our fans.”

- The seed that was planted between Shane McMahon and Stephanie McMahon on Raw this past week is believed to be the start of a long storyline between the pair that could see them have a match, as well as bring the return of Vince to TV before Wrestlemania.

- One reason this may be happening is that USA Network’s Bonnie Hammer is upset with the Raw ratings and she has always been an advocate of things that were big during the attitude era. Plus Vince has to come back at some time right?
