October 2, 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: 82
Submission: 74
Durability: 73
Technique: 76
Speed: 77
Charisma: 79
Hardcore: 73
Stamina: 80
Overall: 82

While his looks may be deceiving, Cade is not your typical good ol' boy. The handsome Cade is a smooth talking southerner known for boasting about his intentions and then delivering on the goods.
Together with Trevor Murdoch, Cade came to Raw in September 2005. Almost immediately, the pair became World Tag Team Champions with a victory at Unforgiven. With a successful blend of sweet and sour, the duo seemed unstoppable.
Their harmony didn't last forever; they split up amicably and remained allies throughout their tenure as singles competitors. Soon enough, their paths crossed again, and the Southern duo once again rejoined Raw's tag team division.
Murdoch proclaimed it was just the beginning for the re-formed team, warning that when you make rednecks angry, bad things happen. Unfortunately for him, this was true, and when Cade became angry with their losing streak, a bad thing did happen. Cade turned on his friend, punching Murdoch out.
Since venturing out as a singles competitor, Cade has found himself under the wing of Chris Jericho and Jericho's new mindset in WWE, even joining the first-ever Undisputed Champion's moral battle against his former mentor Shawn Michaels. Will his alliance with Jericho see Cade rise to new heights, and perhaps find him holding singles gold sooner rather than later?Source: WWE.com
