Get pumped: THQ, GameStop holding Smackdown vs. Raw tournament photo

If you think you have what it takes to oil up your virtual superstar and step into the squared-circle with other oiled up virtual superstars, you're in for a treat. THQ has announced that a GameStop sponsored WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 tournament, that will have the winner scoring a pair of floor tickets to WrestleMania 24.

Three regions will compete (North America, United Kingdom, and Continental Europe) through February, with the top four players in each region particiating in regional finals in early March. Four finalists (two from North America, and one each from those other stinky regions that are not North America) will go head-to-head in a live showdown, which will take place during the 6th Annual THQ Superstar Challenge on March 27 at the House of Blues Orlando, Florida.

Registration opens tomorrow over at http://www.gamestop.com/svr, which doesn't lead anywhere right now. But you can keep refreshing it until it's live. We won't judge you (within earshot, at least).

With there declining memberships over the firing of Jeff may leave them with a sorry bunch of players. Although since they have been so biased and seem to push one console and favor that console on game scores and commentary on on the spot i have since then removed my membership as-well. why pay more money to microsoft when i don't want tooo!!!!!

OMG Wrestling is the most shitty form of entertainment EVER!

1) Its fake
2) Its corny
3) Its Gay (sweaty, half naked guys making almost sexual positions in a ring is not manly in any way)

I prefer UFC over this crap any day. Even mexican Lucha Libre is fun/funny to watch.

This shit FTL!!!

@ Arroz:

Seriously, UFC may be real, but you still have the sweaty, partially naked men holding each other. In fact, UFC definitely features more sweaty dudes rolling around together than professional wrestling.

And they tend to protract said holding for minutes at a time.

UFC contains just as much gayness without the benefit of racial stereotyping scantily clad lady's or midget abuse.

My favorite part of this is seeing all the hypocritical douchebags who dismiss and look down upon one form of entertainment, then get all up in arms when some congressmen/lawyer/Fox News host says videogames are bad.

p.s. latent homophobia is usualy a sign that you are infected with the gay.

Too bad it's not like the N64 wrestlers...which were the only decent ones.

Now it's becoming the new Madden. -_-. Why is it always the tournaments that don't need tournaments? I'd rather play Rumble Roses over WWF games now.

and yes I say WWF since i'm old school.
