I have this game very close to my heart for making me discover wrestling, but the fact 2008 is the worst SvR of all takes away that this was already a step down from 05/06.
Sometimes I'd like to think it was a direct Vince McMahon order to make all the cruiserweights useless in this game because he hates them. Otherwise I don't understand why you would make a part of the roster unplayable.
