I love that HCTP borrowed moments from 1999-2002. Sometimes it’s better to copy great material than to come up with mediocre original material.

[@ThisGenGaming]

And in terms of RTWM, use the original source material to make something that is arguably better than what happened on WWE TV. SVR09-SVR11 was very lucky to have a very talented lead writer.

[@danielhudson5424]

The Better Than Utopia Storyline from WWE SvR 09 was Awesome

[@nemopouncey3827]

sym did it as well.

[@ayushgaurincredible]

@@ThisGenGaming but I think HCTP writers were simply at par with another level , out of this world. A year latter when svr was released it was pale in comparison to smackdown SYM and HCTP, the amount of freedom it was so freaking cool.

[@raybajamunde]

I had a lot of fun ruining Vince McMahon's speech in SvR 2010 to the point I let him finish the speech so that I could restart and have fun with the production a little more lol

[@theoutsiderjess4869]

Same that was my favorite rtwm story

[@havensinclair3832]

@@theoutsiderjess4869 I loved whooping Vince at Wrestlemania

[@deciduous_reaper]

@@havensinclair3832 and making him do the Chicken Dance it was so funny

[@jonathanallen3497]

I agree.

[@treymcclure4645]

that was triple h and shawn michaels

[@benespinosa6725]

The Reason why I always play smackdown Vs Raw 2006 it's because of the Teddy long Storyline and also GM Mode.

[@FABSTORIES50]

They had a lot of good storylines

[@FABSTORIES50]

@nemo pouncey it’s hard to explain

[@ms.aurora924]

@nemo pouncey It's the person you pick for season mode who gets attacked in that storyline regardless of past allegations.

[@TheMiraculous1]

4:58 how does Vince feel the drawing 😂😂

[@theoutsiderjess4869]

I always wondered that until I realized that it was the lighting

[@romacechina]

As much as THQ could be inconsistent with the series, It was always clear they were fans of WWE and loved wrestling, how games could tell stories that RL WWE couldn't like the Candice wand magic in SVR 2007. That honestly would be something Vince would do if he could.

[@JustinLeeper]

Having the player toss Triple H into the screen in gameplay instead of a cutscene was my evolution as a designer - trying to give the player as much storytelling through gameplay as possible.

[@ThisGenGaming]

Hope everyone enjoyed the video. When I say copy in the title, I do mean that it was heavily inspired by (but you know KZbin titles and all) This isn't to knock those storylines at all! Which is why I added "(In Awesome Ways)" to the title And I think in many cases like the Justin Leeper written RTWM storylines that are re-created in SVR09-SVR11 are honestly done better than WWE TV itself! Expect to see that video soon. Thanks as always for watching everyone!

[@kidz4p509]

I was gonna rant about the title, but you're in the clear.

[@Sirkitty01]

This is just as awesome a video as every other video on the channel

[@brandonperez8977]

4:26 there's also a unique scene if you just draw around the screen instead drawing at Vince's face

[@craigkaminker977]

Lol i loved thatt one that was DX in 2006

[@Miltypooh2001]

Dx drawing stuff on vince was funny as hell 🤣

[@JustinLeeper]

Mega Magazine was a bit based on Mean Magazine, which I wrote for occasionally before working at THQ. Legal had to check that it was okay to use. That Vince speech was fun to write, too. Vince as always gave a great voice performance. His actions were mocapped by Todd Soley who went on to voice Ethan in RE 7 and RE Village.

[@moddingmatrix2791]

Did they do their voice performances in studio or from some place else?

[@JustinLeeper]

@@moddingmatrix2791 We had a mobile studio that would travel with WWE to get talent for voiceover whenever we could. Some, we had to go to their house. A few, mostly non-wrestlers, we’d record at SounDeluxe in Hollywood or in the little THQ sound booth. I directed those.

[@syahminorizan8064]

@@JustinLeeper How did you meet Todd Soley?

[@JustinLeeper]

@@syahminorizan8064 He did mocap for WWE games before I came on board at THQ. I continued to use him once I took over mocap.

rikishi:I did it for the rock. chris jericho:I did it for me.

[@robloxwithacetheavenger4908]

Rikishi: I did it for The Rock! Dominik: I did it for Eddie!

[@Brandon-zk7sy]

It always sounds like they were whispering while recording the voice lines for the older games

[@Wolfman051970]

I was in attendance at the Air Canada Centre (now Scotiabank Arena) in 1999 when Bret Hart wore a steel plate under his Tie Domi Leafs jersey when Goldberg speared him

[@thunderstorm3969]

Ive got an idea times WWE games predicted the future. WWE 12 predicted: Miz in a wheelchair and kinda predicted AEW.

[@vegetalover9297]

AEW?

[@DillonMurway]

@@vegetalover9297 There's a bit with WCW returning to compete with WWE, like in the old days

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

[@landrylongacre6391]

Funny enough AEW is getting a game made for it by Yukes who made the main wwe games from smackdown vs raw to wwe 2k19

[@joshiesworld77]

A bit earlier I was thinking of searching to see if anyone made this video, I'm thankful to you for making this and KZbin for recommending it.

[@MessiahKOF]

I love how Teddy just stood there while the car was driving towards him lol

[@ms.aurora924]

Man I miss good season modes like this in the SmackDown vs RAW games.

[@DrDoomBloom]

The way Teddy was hit by that car though 😂😂😂

[@t-boy1gamer137]

The way Teddy Long got hit by the car it looked like he did a 360 tornado turn around with his body 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@smeake]

I loved this video TGG, can’t wait for the next one :)

[@TheOneWhoReportsForDuty]

To be fair, if your gonna copy something then copy it from your own show.

[@TheMiraculous1]

16:56 usually girls get disgusted when they see other girls where the same clothes

[@homersimpson8371]

Man Road To WrestleMania was short but incredible looking back.

[@grandslamgaming]

Stone cold Steve Austin got ran down by a car in 1999.

[@tariqdogg5944]

My favorite one is the US Title open challenge because 1. It was my favorite wrestler John Cena who did it first 2. They mentioned it in the game 3. It was inspired by him

[@mr.aayush2407]

14:16 the commentators mention that it's from bret hart's playbook😅😅and 21:25 there also buzz mentions John Cena😅😅

[@akasumora]

Moments like these are why I keep my old games and consoles

[@ChrisTownsend98]

The Wrestlemania story for SVR 2006 with Stone Cold Steve Austin as G.M. was my favorite. Don't get me wrong I also liked the Triple H storyline as well.

[@TheMiraculous1]

15:09 also done on Wade Barrett in dec 2011 on smackdown

[@sentsky3281]

that was years later after the game released

[@DrDark7]

some moments copied were better than others

I Remember Vincent Kennedy McMahon's Speech

[@dapikafreak6340]

I wish they did the thing where they made mr. McMahon sound like he let loud fart and then at end when asked for his music go to his 80's music video

[@Suleiman2000]

I laughed when Corey Graves said that buzz is the one who watched nitro 😂

[@thestrong2401]

They also rip off the whole storyline about the number one contender pretending to have changed only to betray the Champion when he least expects it in sm vs raw 2007 form the Eddie Guerrero and Batista storyline in 2005 except in the game JBL was the number one contender and Eddie Guettero couldn't finish the storyline because unfortunately he passed away 😔

[@richardtherichard26]

I really love that cowboy bob orton in a 2008 video had the same broken arm he suffered back in 85 😂

[@craigkaminker7583]

And especially at 17:21 I remember when Santino won the Intercontinental tile from Umaga

Whenever i change Vince's voice all the way down and start drawing in SVR 10, his voice almost sounded like either the devil from hell or Dark Vader off from Star Wars.
