My new WWE Smackdown 5 website is up:  Click here

15.2.2003

Everyone, I have decided to stop updating this Website.  This has been a very hard decision to make for me and I hope you will keep returning to the site for CAWs etc.

I will leave this site up so you can still get CAWs and Cheats etc.  Also I will be opening a Smackdown 5 site in the next few Months.  

Thank You All For visiting my site, please continue to do so.  You are all the best, and Jeff - If your reading this all the best mate.

If you would like to you can buy me something from my Amazon wishlist, By clicking here if paying in Dollars or by Clicking here if paying in pounds  

It would be greatly appreciated as creating sites isn't cheap!!  At least this way I am getting some of the money I spent on the site back through products.  Once again the link is here in dollars and here in pounds

Goodbye.

PLEASE JOIN THAT SITE, EVEN IF YOU WON'T USE IT!  IT WILL HELP ME AND MY SITE GREATLY!

27.1.2003

Please will everyone keep visiting my new WWE website at www.stevenwwe.cjb.net .  Here is an example of some of the news you will find on the site:

There is a lot of news going around lately about the Rock, causing a lot of controversy and a lot of speculation about what is true and what isn't. A story released by 1wrestling.com earlier this weekend basically had the major points below:

- He would return as a heel.
- He would face Hulk Hogan at No Way Out.
- He would possibly face Goldberg (who visited him at the sets of his latest movie) at Wrestlemania.
- He has bought the rights to his name "The Rock" from WWE.
- He may retire from wrestling for good later this year.

Apparently, most of these items if not all, are indeed true. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer states that Rock will indeed return to wrestle Hogan at No Way Out, with the possibility being that Vince McMahon will interfere in the match to cost Hogan the win and unite with the Rock as a heel alliance, possibly as the Corporation. From there, Hogan would face Vince at Wrestlemania and Hogan could possibly bring in Goldberg to face the Rock there as well, though no deal between Goldberg and WWE has thus far been reached.

Meltzer also confirmed that Goldberg did actually stop by to meet Rock on the set of Helldorado and that the Rock had officially bought "The Rock" trademark from WWE, which would allow him to use that name for other purposes without WWE's consent or input.

And finally, as it pertains to Rock leaving wrestling - right now they are just rumors but the Rock has not committed to anything with WWE past April.  

For more news etc like this go to www.stevenwwe.cjb.net 

22.1.2003

Hey everyone!!  I got a new website!!  It is dedicated to all things WWE.  Plz visit it and If you like it keep returning.  I'd like it to be as popular as this site is!!  You can find it at www.stevenwwe.cjb.net 

18.1.2003

I hope everyone had a happy new year!!  I won't be updating as much anymore now that Smackdown 4 is out, I'll be concentrating on the e-fed more.  There is a Dawn Marie CAW up, by the way.  Oh, and please vote for the site here!!

27.12.2002

Hope you had a good Christmas!!  How is everyone, sorry about not updating for quite a long time, I've been very busy.  

I've created my own e-fed.  It's in the forum.  Its called Xtreme Wrestling Entertainment or XWE for Short.

*From now one of the 1st 5 people to sign up for the e-fed will get a shot at the XWE World Heavyweight Championship on one of the shows - Monday Night Excess.  The person will be randomly selected.  If your not picked don't despair as I will randomly decide who's to have a chance at other title's during the next few weeks.*  So if you want a chance sign up! 

If you are already a member of my forum click here to login.

If you aren't a member you can register by clicking here.

Once you are logged in, you must sign you're wrestler up with the XWE.  Just follow the instructions on the sign up board.  Then you become a member, there's no waiting!!  After you've signed up you can start roleplaying!  To be in with a chance of getting a shot at the title, you MUST roleplay, not just sign up and never use your wrestler agin.

Every Monday, there is Monday Night Excess, which you might get match in.  Every Friday there is, Slamdown.  The results to matches on these will be regularly displayed on time.  There is 1 PPV a month.  If you want a match on Excess, go to the excess GMs Office.  If you want a match on Slamdown, go to the Slamdown GMs office.  Wrestlers will appear on both shows.  You can roleplay on the Excess board Friday to Sunday.  You can roleplay on the Slamdown board, Monday to Thursday.  If you want a PPV match, ask in either of the GM offices.  Your feuds with other wrestlers during the weekly shows, will setup most of your matches at the PPVs.  However, you can request title shots, for the PPVs in the GM offices as well.   

Happy Roleplaying!!!!!

Oh yeah!  The counter's been going up like crazy recently and we've reached my aim of 100,000 people in about 3 weeks!!  Well done everybody!! 

I have deleted the forum, because of certain people posting fake messages, rude, disgusting messages about me and my family.  This person knows who he/she is and should think about what their saying.  I also know who this person is.

7.9.2002

Soon I will be releasing a new site called Game Reviews Central with my friend Dominic.  I'll post the URL here as soon as possible!!!

Oh, yeah I thought I'd show you all this ridiculous e-mail from Jeff:

Yo Steven,
        I got some thing's I would like to bring to your attention. First You got the Boxart from me. You didn't give credit. Your "Pic of the Week" which you got the phrase from me, you got from my Geocities site. The Kane Pic, under my "Pic of the Week". You also say that you get lots of emails. Well tell me how many you get? and I read your update today and you asked if someone would give you there copy of it. How dumb are you? No ones going to do that. Don't get your hopes up. That boxart you had before the one you took from me was nto real! I had everyone going "Oh on Steven Whites site he says he got the real one. your's is wrong!" So That really made me mad. You also got that Addfreestats thing from me on my new site. Your forum also sucks ass. Bravenet stuff sucks. Oh yeah we will have some good fun when I get my site up. That will be fun wont it? I don't mean to be an asshole here just alot of things that you have done have pissed me off. your not the only person that I'm doing this to. I got acouple other people so don;t think I'm singling you out. I hope you take what I said to you seriously and don't delete this. I hope you had a good time with this E-Mail.

Regards,
Jeff

6.9.2002

I'm removing Jeff's Site from my affiliates.  If he can't take that my site is as good as his, then it's not my problem.   I don't want any trouble with Jeff so this is something I have to do.  I hope you will stick by me and support me as I make this decision.

On a lighter note, it looks like Eric Bischoff may now be in the game!!

Nothing really happening in the gaming world of WWE today!!

I have updated the wrestlers!!

Oh, yeah there's a new Pic of the week!!

20.8.2002

Trish, Batista, Maven and Nidia are definately in the game!!!

Just so everyone knows as of the 24.8.2002 I'm going away so the site won't be updated again till 31.8.2002.  After that I will carry on with my daily updates!!

I found this review on Gamespot.com:

THQ recently dropped by the GameSpot office to show off the latest game in the SmackDown series, SmackDown! Shut Your Mouth. The first thing about the game that immediately stands out is the substantial increase in detail in the character models. The wrestler models are made up of 3,000 polygons each and feature much more facial animation than in any previous SmackDown game--it's amazing to see the wrinkles on Hulk Hogan's face or Booker T's wide-eyed look as he gazes at his "five-time WCW champion" hand. In addition, the game's developer, Yukes, has been working steadily to add some special effects such as specular highlights, which will be used to mimic sweat on the wrestlers' bodies.

The general animation has also been significantly improved, particularly during entrances. Shawn Michaels does all his little dances, Hogan (complete with a feather boa) strums his air guitar and calls to the crowd, and DDP does his trademark diamond-cutter hand gesture. It's also worth nothing that THQ says there will be no problem with entrance music in Shut Your Mouth, so every wrestler will come out with the proper track playing. Kurt Angle's entrance even features the "you suck" chant from the crowd as his music plays. The improvement in animation also extends to the gameplay. From suplexes to pile drivers, the transition from one move to the next is nearly seamless, and it really makes Shut Your Mouth play differently from previous games in the SmackDown series.

The improved animation also lends itself well to the reversal system, which has been changed slightly. Instead of just pressing a particular button on the controller, you can hold the button and press one of four directions on the analog stick to perform a different counter. Moreover, not only can you counter basic holds, punches, and kicks, but you can also counter finishers. In fact, you can even perform another wrestler's finisher, so theoretically Hulk Hogan could perform a "rock bottom" during a match with The Rock.

As far as options are concerned, SmackDown! Shut Your Mouth has plenty to offer. Yukes has added some variety to the plain old one-on-one exhibition matches by allowing you to decide whether or not you want to attack the other wrestle while he or she is on the ground or just leave the ring after the match has ended. In addition to one-on-one matches, you'll have access to hell in a cell, steel cage, lumberjack, elimination tag, stages of hell, tornado six-man tag, and many more. But perhaps the most important mode in Shut Your Mouth is the season option. At the beginning of this mode, you'll have to go through the draft and decide which wrestlers appear on various WWE shows. For example, you can have Brock Lesnar, The Hurricane, and members of the NWO on Raw, and then place Hogan, The Rock, Triple H, and Kurt Angle on SmackDown. In addition, each wrestler will have an individual rating (with any created wrestlers starting out at the bottom of the rankings), which seemingly comes into play as the season progresses, as it will determine who you have matches with and whether or not you make it into certain pay-per-view events like WrestleMania. The season mode will cover the last year of WWE programming, so you'll see some familiar events such as the return of the NWO (without Scott Hall, who will not be included in the game) and the drama surrounding Stone Cold's draft decision.

There are approximately 15 backstage and special areas in Shut Your Mouth. You'll be able to fight inside The World (the WWE's restaurant complex in New York), out in the streets (which feature pedestrian and vehicle traffic), in the subways, and even on subway trains. Yukes has also added more interactivity with the backgrounds--pipes, boxes, glass, and other such objects will break when wrestlers make contact with them. A few improvements have been made to the weapons as well. You can actually use the fire extinguisher to spray flame retardant on your opponent, or set up a chair on the floor and perform a DDT, or a similar move, directly onto it. You can even ride the Undertaker's motorcycle around the ring. Unfortunately, you won't be able to fight in the crowds in the arenas, but you can perform moves off the barrier surrounding the ring. Some wrestlers can even execute special moves when placed in specific parts of the arena. For example, Rob Van Dam can perform the five-star frog splash off the top of the fist on the SmackDown set.

The create-a-wrestler mode has also been drastically improved. Yukes thought that last year's version was a little too clunky and difficult to navigate, so it's cleaned it up a little and added even more features. You'll be able to edit facial animations and body animations, morph different parts of the wrestler's body to your liking, and even place tattoos anywhere you want. When you're done creating your wrestler, the game will give you a special password that you can give to your friends so they can instantly create the same wrestler.

There will be commentary in the game, but it won't be play-by-play. Instead, Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler will provide color-style commentary, giving information on the wrestlers in the ring and the current situation. They'll provide similar commentary during the cutscenes in the season mode to give the game a TV-style presentation.

Yukes has really made quite a few improvements to the SmackDown series with Shut Your Mouth, and if you're a fan of previous games, you'll notice these changes almost immediately. SmackDown! Shut Your Mouth is scheduled for release at the end of October. We'll have more on the game soon.

I've looked into the Rey. Mysterio situation, and have come to the conclusion that he may well be in the game.  I'll try and get screenshots soon!!

Also, blood isn't in the game, THQ will want to keep Smackdown 4! a sensible age rating!!

13.8.2002

New pictures of the Raw set!!!

There has been lots of speculation over John Cena and Randy Orton.  Well, I can tell you all that they are both in Smackdown SYM!!  

Sorry if the movies don't work, I can't fix them as they don't belong to me, they were sent to me via e-mail!  There are now 53 movies in the movies section.

11.8.2002

Stone Cold is back in the game!! I'll try to get screenshots as soon as possible!!

Just so everybody knows Rey. Mysterio will probably not be in the game as he has only recently debuted in the WWE.  I think the release date for everywhere apart from America is November 1st.

Loads of new HHH and Hogan screenshots!!

25.7.2002

Smackdown 4 will have an all new story mode!!  This will be a BIG improvement from Smackdown 3.  There will now be a draft that your wrestler will be incorporated into!!  Also Ric Flair and Vince McMahon will have arguments over signing free agents etc.  You will now be able to play four players in story mode!!  Smackdown 4 will have all the new titantron entrances including Motorhead's The Game for Triple H.  Chris Jericho will also have his new 'heel' movie and entrance.  Four commentators will be in the game: Jim Ross, Jerry 'The King' Lawler, Michael Cole and Tazz.  It's not confirmed but Tazz may also be a wrestler.  On the game there will be a shopzone where you can exchange points for new wrestlers, clothes and moves.  Shawn Michaels will be in the game, but I don't think he will be in the NWO colours.  Scott Hall is definitely NOT in the game.  However, the BIG news is that Stone Cold Steve Austin will also NOT be in the game.  The game will be titled WWE, not WWF and Earl Hebner will now referee all matches apart from Special Referee matches.  There are lots of screenshots in the screenshot section including probable box art.  You will be disqualified for using illegal objects such as chairs.....that's if the referee see's it!!
