The Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 video game may miss its November deadline as Vince McMahon is going back and forth about whether to leave Chris Benoit in the game. The designers haven't completely removed Benoit from the game yet and Vince wants him out obviously. However, if they remove him, it would require the game to be delayed and they'd miss out on the 2007 holiday season revenue, which is always the most lucrative quarter for video games.

I can care less if hes in the game i wouldnt use him, i never use or wrestle with him in a ny game, his charater is boring but i just hope they have all of his moves in the game so i can have it as my finisher, it seems to always make people submit faster, but i wont get this game till june next year so they can delay it for all i care.

I would agree with WWE stop trying to erase him, he was aawesomely gifted wrestler, but does it really matter if he is in the game? theres always create a wrestler mode?..by the way, how many slots will there be for created wrestlers in this game?

how can you say that killer! there is NOTHING that can come good from that. think about it if you don't want to play the game right away it may be out for a little bit and get a price drop when you want to play it...

but see, if it comes out, i have to buy it, cause my other friends will get it as well, and i need to be able to put up a good match against them, i dont mean it to be negative for the game to be delayed, but for my sake, i kinda hope it does

I too love Chris Benoit and hate what they said on Google News and I hate to bring some people down but Chris Benoit is not gonna be on SVR 2008 because of the news becoming apparant that he did a double-murder-suicide. A picture that will be remembered for years.

i just saw the video and the entrance was cool, but the pyro was too late, the music didnt match when the pyro should've gone off, but thats just me maybe, i think they could've done better with the timing

Batista doesn't really do those mannerisms in time to the music anyways in real life.

That sounds awesome! I can't wait for this game. But as some people have posted, it still seems THQ has some issues to work out and tweak before they ship it, hopefully the load times won't be horrendous like last year, especially PSP wise.
