Oh, I agree with Bri on less stress with 3 ways to beat Hogan. Andre, so far has slaughtered 2 of them (NWO Hogan has yet to face him).

So who are everyone's champions in GM Mode? Mine are:

Smackdown:
WWE: Angle (won from Bret)
US: Hassan (won from Hogan)
Tag: The World's Greatest Tag Team (won from Batista and Benoit in a ladder match)

CW: Divari (won from Rey in a triple threat match)

Keep me posted on the Hogan "Beat-A-Thon".

Thanks for the finisher tip too.

I drafted a RAW roster last night. My champs...

World: Eddie (I wanted it to be Benoit, but my plan is for Eddie to lose it to Edge, who will lose it to Benoit at WM)
IC: Carlito
Tag Team: Regal & Eugene
Women's: Trish

I was just messing around with things though, as my first goal will be to beat the season mode in both SD and RAW, to get those unlimited EXP points. Then I'll build all my EC guys onto the game and run a fed with them instead.

Oh, I thought of another positive. You can use the weight of a guy to determine his body size. This will help with COTG CAW's.

Hey Guys,

I've come up with an interesting idea. I want to create a non-EC COTG character to go through season mode with, but can't decide, so I've created a poll in the "Off-Topic Polls" section, so you guys can help me pick.

I'll beat RAW with the winner and then I'll use the runner-up for SD. Whoever the two characters end up being I'll post the CAW formulas on here so you guys can create them too if you'd like!

Check out my poll and vote!

I'm not sure if you have to win the World/WWE title to win season mode. I'm also not sure if you need to win the rumble to ge the title shot at WM. If so, I reccommend a superheavyweight for season like Batista or UT. Otherwise, someone with a deadly KO finisher will work, since if you win a triple threat match in January, you can enter the rumble at #30.

Another cheap tip (I don't know if this works on raw as I only tried it on Smackdown): When playing the Smackdown storyline and in the Rumble, pause the game right fater the Rumble begins and choose to end the game. They'll ask you if you're sure, and say Yes. Suddenly, you'll be in a 6-man Rumble, and those are the only guys you need to beat to win the Rumble (Thanks again gamespot.com)!

Last night, Angle beat Hogan, thus defending his title, with a ground sleeper.

Also, Andre suffered his first loss (on GM and exhibition) when Snitsky pinned him after a pump handle slam (don't ask me how...I have no clue!).

I just made Shamrock, Karelin, Lewis, and Puder. Severn is my US champ in Exhibition, and a damn good one at that (KO'ed Brock two matches in a row)!

Take care,

Jay
