Pictures From the 2008 THQ Superstar Challenge

Shanker, myself, and GS Live's cameraman extraordinaire Tyler Winegarner were in Orlando yesterday and today for the announcement of THQ's latest SmackDown! vs. Raw game. Last night we hit the sixth annual THQ SuperStar Challenge, won once again by the inimitable Elijah Burke. Check out these shots that Tyler took from the event...

Two in a row for Elijah...

The Legend Killer was ousted in the first round but was a crowd favorite. Orton is also bigger than he looks on TV...

On the other hand, Rey Mysterio Jr., is actually smaller than he appears on TV, which is saying something. Rey appeared briefly in the interviews with his pals from the band P.O.D. (who also played a show after the tourney) but Rey didn't participate because he's nursing a bicep injury.

The lovely and sorta scary Ashley made it further than expected in the tournament and I'd like to take full credit for that. What do I mean by that? Well you'll have to tune in to our segment from the tournament on next week's On the Spot...

(BTW, I know these pictures are small. If you want the full size versions, you can find them on the Images portion of my profile page.)
