September 18, 2008 - Grab your steel chair, elbow pads, and Magic Marker-laden poster board -- the SmackDown Countdown is finally here.
For eight years IGN's been teaming with THQ to bring you videos, screens, and information for every playable character in the latest WWE videogame, and this year is no different -- except for the fact that it's very different. Rather than hand you the entire roster at the onset of this feature and then profiling the people on it day by day, we're going to give you the roster one person at a time.
That's right; every day we'll be announcing a new character in the game.
Monday through Friday from now until the release of WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009, we'll be profiling Superstars, showing their entrance, signature move, and finisher on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii. Now -- PSP, PS2, and DS users -- if you see the Countdown pop up on your channel with videos from the PS3, it's not a mistake. That appearance means that character is in your version of the game. We're hoping to have weekly updates to your media sections with platform-specific stuff.
We've got a long way to go, but keep in mind that you're a huge part of this Countdown. Both Friday Fights and the THQ&A are back this year. Every Friday -- in addition to the Countdown -- IGN will post either a match in its entirety or a quick developer Q&A. If you check the IGN SmackDown vs. Raw message board, you'll find threads where you'll be able to vote on who you want to see fight and in what match as well as post your questions for the developers.
Can you smell what we're cooking?
Strength: 57
Submission: 58
Durability: 74
Technique: 77
Speed: 84
Charisma: 75
Hardcore: 59
Stamina: 77
Overall: 76

If there's one thing Candice Michelle is determined to prove, it's that she's not just another pretty face. And she seemed to prove it by winning the WWE Women's Championship and holding on to it for almost three months.
A native of Milwaukee, Candice moved to Los Angeles at age 19 to pursue a career in acting, and after appearing in multiple movies, TV shows and magazines, she applied for the 2004 Diva Search. While she didn't win, Candice was quickly signed to the Raw roster.
Since becoming a WWE Diva, Candice has maintained her beautiful image while continuing to improve her grappling skills. She's worked with legendary Four Horsemen enforcer Arn Anderson to hone her in-ring skills, and her development is evident every time she steps into the ring. From physical battles to the vaunted Lingerie Pillow Fight, Candice is not afraid to mix it up in any way. Her training and her heart have paid off with the Women's Championship.
And of course, there's her impressive resume of external activities as well. Candice has been featured in numerous magazines, from DXL to Stuff, and she graced the cover of Playboy in 2006. In addition, she acts as a memorable spokeswoman for GoDaddy.com, starring in multiple controversial and nearly too hot for TV commercials that began airing during Super Bowls XXXIX and XL.
Candice embodies the spirit of a true WWE Diva, that being a woman who can kick ass and look good doing it. With her particularly striking combination of good looks, in-ring ability and bubbly personality, this the self-professed "Cheese Head" from Wisconsin could someday be considered one of the greatest WWE Divas ever.Source: WWE.com
