replies: text: Oh, well, since he's been with WWE for a while, he'll probably be in anyway, but we have to wait until he's confirmed.

message: According to WWE News & Notes, GameStop has the name of the game being WWE SmackDown vs RAW 2008:ECW Invasion. So, if someone wants to, they can check GameStop's website and see what they have as the name of the game. 24.7.217.221 02:24, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: 1. That site isn't run by WWE.; 2. That article nowhere mentions GameStop nor 'ECW Invasion'; 3. GameStop does not carry the title with 'ECW Invasion' Socby19 13:33, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: About the name of the game...

message: They have me confused here. Is it going to be Season mixed with General Manager Mode like they said? That seems to rule out the same Gameplay for General Manager Mode as WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007. Is General Manager Mode going to be the same? Obi-WanKenobi-2005 19:19, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I haven't played any games within the series, (nor any console wrestling games besides the NES), and yes, according to the interviews Season and GM Mode are combined and given the name 'WWE 24/7 Mode'. Don't ask me how that will work. Socby19 02:38, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, well I hope it's like General Manager Mode. It sounds good already though anyway. Obi-WanKenobi-2005 19:42, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

message: in the steel cage match reference it is the same as the hell in the cell reference, hence it is not confirmed that there will be a steel cage match. also the reference for ecw on sci-fi raw and smackdown(sdd.vzz.net) IS NOT A RELLIABLE SOURCE IT IS VERY SPAMMY. plus in the photos it DOES NOT SAY ANY WERE IN THE IMAGES SMACKDOWN, ECW, RAW. it should be removed. --Unsigned comment
Agreed on the steel cage match. However, interviews have stated that ECW will have 'a major presence', including ECW arenas. Therefore, the SciFi broadcast is a definite. Also, the blue and red rope colors seen in other screenshots indicate Raw and SmackDown. Also, some signs in the background have the SmackDown logo. Socby19 04:15, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

:No, not yet. The THQ page has the current logo without the 'ECW Invasion' logo. If, and when that changes, the move will be made accordingly. Socby19 01:39, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The way I see it: All entries have been confirmed by THQ, confirmed by the wrestlers themselves, have not denied within interviews, and/or mentioned in reputable websites; therefore all names as of now are to stay; although all names aren't of 'confirmed status' all have been mentioned by REPUTABLE sources (see warning on top). All announced content mentioned in my revert (04:47, July 9, 2007) are to stay, unless proven otherwise. This is why the sections read announced instead of confirmed. If someone would like to make a marking to distinguish the difference between 'announced' and 'confirmed by THQ', feel free to do so, but do not remove the names, as I have clearly explained why they are to stay.

text: It's not impossible in '07's version to create a wrestler and give it the name 'Kelly Kelly'. And as for doing an interview, yes, that does mean nothing, unless they themselves say that they are in the game. Socby19 17:32, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

text: 1. Melina is already on the game disc, and kelly kelly is used as a created wrestler. 2. That big board is just a tournament bracket, it has nothing to do with '08. Socby19 22:07, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I mean they are in the wwe and they are our wwe divas they got to be in the game anyway even if there's no source for it. I personally sometimes edit wikipedia myself. oh yea i'm the one who's been editing the match types and adding some superstars to make it a good page as much as possible!!!
:This is an encyclopedia, therefore information must not be false or misleading... That's why we wait for sources to confirm what editors add to this site. Stormin' Foreman 23:40, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it is likely that they will both be in the game. But, as of this edit, there is no reputable evidence/proof of a confirmation. Socby19 23:58, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Socby19 is right. Not all WWE wrestlers and/or Divas are in the SvR series. Maria, for example, has been on the roster for years now and she has not yet been featured in any of the games. Stormin' Foreman 01:34, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Some people have claimed to have gotten an e-mail from THQ, in which they announced that the roster cut-off date was One Night Stand. And also that the subtitle for the game is "ECW Invades." (Most people say it's not, some say it is) Can anyone confirm this or shed some light on the situation? Ladder4321 06:36, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The cut-off date has been at Vengeance since 2006. The last arena that has been up to date since then has been Vengeance. The Great American Bash arena has always been from the year before, so we won't be getting the 2007 GAB arena until SvR 2009.-- bulletproof 3:16 06:54, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

message: It says on her wikipedia page that her song "Whine Up" will be featured in the game. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kat_Deluna
And also, on the Kat DeLuna page, there is no source for that info.
That was most likely done by a sock puppet who is indefinitely banned for having at least a dozen different user names and adding nonsense. The user usually likes to add garbage information regarding WWE and Bratz to articles of each other (i.e. Bratz info added to WWE pages and vice versa). That Kat De Luna was probably added before he/she/they was/were banned and hasn;t been removed at the time you looked at it. Socby19 06:02, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Didn't Yuke's drop the "Exciting Pro Wrestling" name from the Japanese releases of the SmackDown games? Their SmackDown 2007 website doesn't seem to use the name and I don't think they've used the "Exciting" moniker since the original SmackDown vs. Raw came out. --Jtalledo (talk) 10:54, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Upon further inspection, it appears that the "Exciting Pro Wrestling" name was used up until the second SmackDown vs. Raw game was released. SmackDown vs. Raw 2007 doesn't show the Exciting Pro Wrestling name on the Japanese box - see http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-40-77-a-49-en-15-smackdown-70-1mfd.html. --Jtalledo (talk) 02:39, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

I think thats not the confirmed roster due to it saying ariel she was released,trinity she was released,trish stratus she retired,rob van dam he was released,mike knox hasent wrestles since febuary and extreme expose i doubt they ll be playable i think they will just be used in storylines.

replies: text: I don't think being released from WWE determines whether or not you get in a game. People get released every year and taking them out would just cause more problems within the game. The only exceptions would be a situation like Benoit's.. 76.21.249.103 22:17, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
