Neutrality violation? Are publishers editing the 'Reception' part?
The Reception part of this article seems biased. Games that get moderately positive reviews appear to be cherry picked, no matter how old they are, and there are no negative reviews. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.53.153.115 (talk) 11:53, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Protection
Can we look at protecting the article, as this user: 70.161.75.254 and others keep vandalising it. --Guns2006 13:18, 15 Sept 2007.

Shawn Michaels and the Sharpshooter

 * You're right. See the GameFaqs page at http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/game/914104.html. I'll remove the mention. --Jtalledo (talk) 15:23, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Backstage areas
It's been a long time since I played it, but I'm fairly sure SmackDown 2 had the ability to go backstage, a feature the article currently says was introduced in SmackDown 3. -- Oberonfoxie 22:40, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Wow... A lot of errors.
Okay so I was going through the list of characters in each game, and I noticed some characters listed as being in games they weren't and other characters listed as not being in games that they are (or should be) in. Now personally I don't think too many of the '08 characters should be confirmed or denied until the game is officially launched (that is excluding the characters who have appeared in promo ads for the game). But one of the issues I saw was that Road Dogg was listed as being in '07. Now I own the game, have beaten it several times, yadda yadda, and I know for a fact that he isn't in the game. I'd fix this myself but I'm too damn tired to go ctrl-f and search Road Dogg to mark him as not on the list (yes I AM that tired x.x). Just thought I'd point out the fact that this list needs a massive overhaul. Maverick Leonhart (Talk | Contribs) 02:58, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Smackdown vs raw 2009
what site did the writer of the bottom set of information where it says SmackDown vs Raw 2009 will feature over 150 superstars --81.99.46.64 (talk) 17:20, 6 March 2008 (UTC)chrispowellathome

Well i put the THQ vs Jakks part. But i didnt see anything that says SmackDown vs Raw 2009 will feature over 150 superstars someone else put that. So im going to remove it cause theres no source. MC RIDE (talk) 23:49, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Bring back curse info
I don't know who removed that. That was very interseting information. I was very surprised when I read that. Someone should put that information back on the page, but in a proper section, the same way the Madden page has a section on the Madden Curse. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.102.71.117 (talk) 16:18, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It constitutes original research which is not allowed on wikipedia. If you can find a reliable source for the info, it can be added back in. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 16:19, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * OK. I guess that the actual games and real-life events are not reliable resources. One should be able to find sources online. I know WWE.com had information on Jeff Hardy's house burning down. If I find the sources, could it be put back up? (sorry. misread what you said. I'll find sources and post them here first then the article page.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.102.71.117 (talk) 16:35, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

SvR 2010?
What's your source for this so called "WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2010?" I haven't heard anything about it. Danny Boy 420 (talk) 14:40, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

It has been announced on WWE.com. Go there for proof. Michaelclarkc (talk) 01:57, 2 June 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.99.216.2 (talk)

Number and list of WWE Superstars /Characters for the specific game articles
Hello, i was wondering why the playable Wrestlers arent listed in the wwe games articles. I asked me why not because other Gameseries have such lists included in the more popular cases

it could simply look like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_vs_capcom_2#Playable_characters the wrestlers wouldnt need any additional infos. its just to show the readers which wrestlers are in the game. Greets, GBK2010 (talk) 11:12, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

I agree. There is an article soley for that and I think that it could easily merge with this one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:ACC2:500:30AB:A7EF:7A2:8CA7 (talk) 12:30, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

WWE Smackdown vs RAW 2011?
Below the external link it reads in the SvR section WWE Smackdown vs RAW 2011, where did this come from, and is it in production? Tropical Devastation (talk) 20:46, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Road to WrestleMania
It should create an article called "Road to WrestleMania", giving information about this story mode that has been watching from WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009, bringing who the "Road to WrestleMania", which game has been and what has been the argument of each story. I think so.

Thanks for your time. --Ponce (talk) 00:14, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

History Section?
I was thinking of a history section for this page because non-gamers don't know why the series had to change it's name. Do you agree?--Mikeymike2001 (talk) 21:37, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The gameplay section basically covers the history of the game. Other than a few name changes, there isn't much else to discuss other than the gameplay. Maybe a mention in the Development section would be more appropriate. --Jtalledo (talk) 02:11, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Take-Two/2K publishing era
Just thinking outloud here, should the Take-Two/2K stuff be included like I see somebody did? The way I see it this article is about the THQ WWF Smackdown series and it's yearly iterations (and name changes). While TT/2K got the rights to publish WWE video games and while THQ did the other month say that WWE '14 was in development, I don't think the TT/2K stuff should be included in this article (atleast in the fashion it is currently) until TT/2K/(Rockstar?) announces their plans to continue the current WWF Smackdown series (or until a run of the game appears with TT/2K/R* listed as the publisher in retail). Info about the WWE games that are not part of this series aren't included on this page so IMHO it would make sense to not include the TT/2K info until they confirm (if they confirm) they are continuing the WWF Smackdown series instead of creating their own new series. Thoughts? Fisha695 (talk) 02:09, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Fixed it per WP:CRYSTAL. It's fine to say what was reported, but as it was, the blurb jumped to the conclusion that the series was acquired and would be continued by Take 2. --Jtalledo (talk) 16:04, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Currently the situation is that Take 2 is retaining Yuke's as developer, but it's not certain if the WWE series will continue in its current form. --Jtalledo (talk) 22:33, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Per 2K Sports' announcement, the series will continue as "WWE Games", starting with WWE '14, but with continued support for WWE '13. This article should be retitled accordingly. InedibleHulk (talk) 20:35, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Where does it say the series is called "WWE Games?" WWE Games has referred to THQ's brand of WWE titles as a whole (including other titles like WWE All-Stars), as well as the combined dev teams of THQ and Yuke's, not the game series formerly known as Smackdown. And the page at that link even calls it the "WWE Video Game Series." Also, the next entry is being called WWE '14 not "WWE Games 14." --Jtalledo (talk) 00:20, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
 * It doesn't explicitly say it, but phrases like "future WWE Games titles" and "no need to worry that there will be any loss of continuity from the old days" suggest a series. The title of a game in a series doesn't need to have the exact title. If that were true, we couldn't consider any of the WWF SmackDown! or SmackDown vs Raw games to be part of a series called "WWE". Just like the name has changed before, it appears to be doing so again. Why exactly isn't All-Stars considered part of this series? InedibleHulk (talk) 03:05, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

OK, I've found a press release which explicitly calls the series the "WWE series". Given this, I change my position and support a move back. InedibleHulk (talk) 03:48, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

"WWE 2K" as article title
Anyone else think this is a bad title? Most of the games in the series are called anything but WWE 2K. Maybe something less specific like WWE (video game series). I'm not saying that's the best title, just something better than WWE 2K.69.212.228.109 (talk) 00:39, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

There seems to be a lot of outdated information.
Someone more experienced than I needs to go through and revise a bit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:ACC2:500:30AB:A7EF:7A2:8CA7 (talk) 09:09, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

A lot of the article is written as if it were still called SvR
Many mentions to SvR such as "every time a new SmackDown vs Raw game is released" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:ACC2:500:30AB:A7EF:7A2:8CA7 (talk) 12:27, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Worst game of all time
Almost 20 years from wwe games past. Why in Wwe 2k18 and in its previous maximum 8 men can be in ring at the same time and no more? In games like Assasins Creed you can fight with numberless enemy and in Pes series are 22 player in land and they have their own fan in the game that, are more than wwe 2k18 and in many more games this is so. Really, 20 years is not enough for rich company to increase wresler more than 8 man like their tv shows? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.219.70.34 (talk) 15:56, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

Page revamp
I've cleaned up the opening to describe the publishing and development of the series in the second paragraph. There were no cited sources talking about the "Polygon count" so I removed that entry. I've merged the History and Development sections for easier reading, and revamped the Reception section to focus on the series as a whole. The Reception section was basically coping reviews for each individual games from their own sections; i've based my entry on the Metacritic review scores for the original game in comparison to SDvR 08 and the series decline in reception since then.Thecleanerand (talk) 00:38, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
