Cory Lesdema recently had an interview with ign on the 10th game in the series. Features in this game is new tag team moves, the return of career mode, and for the first time downloadable content! Also there's anew co-op mode.

Confirmed wrestlers are randy orton, john cena, jeff and matt hardy, mr. kennedy, the undertaker and Y2J Chris Jericho will be in his first smackdown game since smackdown v.s. raw 2006.

Matt hardy will not die!

The Undertaker 16-0!

Oh thank you lord! Here I was thinking THQ was going to skip this year. Thanks for the find Snake612.

haha great sarcasm onyx. looking forward to the create a finisher portion for the HD versions. Not real psyched about the motions in entrances for the Wii version so I think i'll skip that since last year's version sucked horribly.

In all seriousness, I think this game is going to be great. All of the added tag team mechanics, the create-a-finisher, everything looks great. Hopefully the roster will be more full this year than last. It should be with the Wrestlemania Legends game coming out, they can axe out all of the legends. Maybe they can just add them in as optional DLC fo those interested. I am speaking of course about the PS3/360 versions. The Wii version has a few years to go before it's even in the same league. THQ is taking baby steps with that version.

I was kinda hoping they would skip a year.

Last years afair was so buggy....

and the 24/7 mode just pissed me off. Nothing more annoying then winning a match, but having the after event match say I lost.

If you don't want branching paths don't make it possible to win. End of story.

I liked the mechanics fo it... but there were sooo many bugs.

That and being friendly with the people you hate... etc. So stupid.

I'll stick to Fire Pro Wrestling... maybe rent the game to check it out. 

 Fire Pro Wrestling was hilarious. I played it on the Dreamcast and it had like every pro wrestler in the world it seemed. The funniest part was the triple team moves. 6 fists pounding down on one person is just too funny.

08 was awesome,i hope 09 would be even better

So tired, of games coming out every year that are sequels.

Then why, did you buy Guitar Hero III and Mario Party 8? The latter isn't even a very good game.
