Correction: The " You Suck" chants are in Smackdown SYM. Maybe it was my headphones listening to the audio, I couldn't hear them clearly. The chants are at least a lot more audible in Smackdown vs Raw 2006. Second Correction: Hogan is playable In SVR 2006. But "Hollywood Hogan" and 80's Hogan are not.
A correction, Hulk Hogan DID provide voice-over for this game, in fact alongside Mankind and Stone Cold he's one of the exclusive legends you can play through either brand in Season Mode
Speaking of psp. I have a problem with the story mode with the ending. After I finish the story and it show me my rewards the screen goes black and I have to restart my psp and I don't even get the rewards. So I can't have the rock, stone cold, Hollywood hogan and 80s hogan. Does anybody else have the same problem and if so did you fix it?
This game was also the last game in the series to be exclusive for PlayStation systems because the next game was also for the Xbox 360. 2005 was the end of an era in wrestling games because that same year, WWE Day of Reckoning 2 was on the GameCube and that was the last WWE game on that system as well as the final Nintendo exclusive WWE game and the last licensed WWE game to emulate the gameplay of the N64 games of WrestleMania 2000 and No Mercy
@@wastelandwanderer2693 I mean they did release like 3 WWE games for the OG Xbox though because it had WWF RAW, WWE RAW 2, and Wrestlemania 21 from what I can remember? I never got a chance to play any of them though since I didn't own an Xbox, but yeah they were definitely releasing their mainline games on the PlayStation at the time. Nintendo (GCN) and Xbox were getting the spinoff series.
@@ElijahKMcCoy oh ok yeah I was a PS2 & GC kid in the early 2000's. Never had an OG Xbox either and being a kid back then I wasn't well informed about games then like I am now.
Really disappointing that the Dudley Boyz weren't included in the game, but Spike was. Baffling, to say the least. Matt Hardy also could have been in as although he was released in April, he was back in the company by July and the game would have started actual disc manufacturing in September.... And another thing that really annoyed me was that for some reason, Christian's tights had absolutely no designs on them. He was still with the company by the time the game was shipping, and had the designs in the 2 previous games but not this one.... Baffling.
Day Of Reckoning 2 had superior graphics but that wasn't enough for me. My friends were boasting about the amount of content SVR 2006 had and eventually i realized that they were right. I created a whole bunch of CAWs and completed the terrific Story Mode many times but after a while the game did not have a great replay value, so i bought a PSP and a copy of SVR 2006. Needless to say that i fell in love with the game! It certainly didn't have the outstanding graphics of DOR2 but at that point i didn't care because i could have title matches, play awesome and diverse career paths in Season Mode, create my PPV, my very own championship belt, experience brand new match types like Buried Alive and Fulfill Your Fantasy and step into the shoes of a GM and build my own brand from the scratch!😄
And not just Batista, but Eddie Guerrero had switched to his large flames on his tights in February 2004 yet had the pre-2004 tights he wore only very occasionally until mid-2004 after the aforementioned flame tights; Angle had his 2004 attire, and not his 2005 more black attires Christian had absolutely NO tights designs. They took all the C's off and just left it blank. Edge had no entrance coat.... Just poor to be honest
My Fav always from all the series. The CAWS and the move list is just amazing. I had made Big Daddy V, The Patriot, Mr Perfect, Ultimate Warrior, Vader, Ahmed Johnson, Goldberg, American Lex Luger, Yokozuna, Diesel, Ken Shamrock, Sid Vicious, Waylon Mercy, Doink, Razor Ramon, Legion Of Doom, Papa Shango, etc. Everybody with their exact movelist. I ´ve spent months creating their face features just like them , the attires and all their moves. I had 2 memory cards full of this game. I remember this with so much love =)
SVR 2006 and 2007 were the best WWE games of all time. The games soundtrack, the simplistic, yet diverse controls that felt natural, the create mode where u could make a wrestler look like anyone!, the graphics were fine. But typical WWE takes something that ain't broke and just break it all to hell.
@@mrnice162 I know, but WWE has creative control on how they want their games made and to look etc. Its WWEs fault for allowing it to be released. They get sampkes of every game before released to the public
@@nick56677 nah fam it seems like you just want an excuse to shit on the company, graphics were the responsibility of thq and yukes wwe just gives them the license and let’s them know what they want or don’t want in the game, other than that they are pretty hands off aside from marketing
my favorite wrestling game of all time it’s got better presentation than the smackdown games and i’ll argue it’s better than svr 2007 since it’s not overly focused on simulation
I was disappointed with the change in gameplay and controls in SVR 2007. Eventually, i mastered the game and came to love it but to me the gameplay mechanics from Shut Your Mouth - SVR 2006 will ALWAYS be the best.
@@Payday2JoyMain Agreed 💯. I always wanted to play as Mankind in season mode, but couldn't and I think the same thing happened with Kane too where they didn't let you pick his Masked attire either. That would've been cool
The PSP version of the game…is literally the entire game. Same characters, arenas, moves, animations, GM mode, creation suites, season mode, everything. Masterclsss of handheld gaming
I got an AR MAX cheat device, and used it heaps on this game. It allowed me to:- -Unlock Jake "The Snake" Roberts permanently. -Unlock all the NPC's (know how the guy said you can only play as Vince in story mode. Well this allowed you to unlock Vince McMahon, Eric Bischoff, Jerry Lawler, JR, Tazz and Jonathan Coachman, and play them in Exhibition and GM Mode). -I could do a MITB Ladder Match (you had to use the WM21 Arena) and using the code allowed a 6-Man Ladder Match. -I also had codes which allowed me to play a Masterlock Challenge, Kurt Angle Invitational, and GM Mode codes which unlocked money and allowed you to turn off injuries.
I recently found out from watching Everything Pro Wrestling‘s interview with Bryan Williams that Brock Lesnar was in the game at one point and then got pulled. I never knew that until that interview.
@@ShadowKnight1886-1994 Bryan Williams who made the game did an interview with me and confirmed this. I guess he was close to signing a deal but got pulled last minute.
Here's another interesting fact. I'm pretty sure this is the last WWE game that Eddie Guerrero voiced in. It's either this one, or Day of Reckoning for the Gamecube.
Actually, Matt Hardy and the Dudley Boyz do appear as preset entrances. There are 5 preset wrestler entrances. Matt Hardy, the Dudley Boyz, Jackie Gayda, Brock Lesnar and a generic one, possibly Maven or Luther Reigns. DX, Team Angle and the NWO also appear as preset Trios entrances.
Damn I miss this game. It really was a worthy successor to SvR the year before. Didn't know about the Taz thing though. Interesting. Didn't know about the cage glitch or special finish for the parking lot brawl either. Goddamn that was crazy.
The first smackdown all the way through SvR07 are very good games at least with multiple fantastic ones. All of them just felt unique and worth owning, after that though things just got too samey and were of far less quality on the whole. There were a few good years here and there (SvR11, WWE 13, and 2k14) but over all they just no longer felt like worth owning every year.
AK Pochino I wanted to like 16 but that wheel submission system was awful. I prefer 18 just for offering an alternative even though it’s not as good a game as 16 over all
Ill always make make character fight clean and use top rope moves. Sometimes a single top rope move gives you an instant finisher. When I fight dirty I'll remove the turnbuckle pad and Irish whip the CPU in exposed turnbuckle multiple times the body limb will change quickly to red in seconds.
Trish and Eugene had voice overs in the game for the season mode. Same with Torrie Wilson. Some like 2% of the divas had voice overs and the "you suck" chants started in Shut your mouth.
I'm not sure if it's a secret but some of the counters in the game that aren't meant to be countered... well... can be countered. I used to know a few of them, but the only one that comes to mind is when someone counters your back grapple and slips under you, putting you in a hammerlock, you can counter that. Usually they jerk up on your arm in the hammerlock and push you away. However, press R2 (If I'm not mistaken, it may be L2... it's been a long time lol) right before they jerk up your arm and the game will glitch up and you'll be in their waistlock and you elbow out of it to escape. I'm not sure if it's common knowledge or not but with counter help turned on, it doesn't tell you that it's a counter. Plus it looks glitchy. If I can remember anymore I'll jump back in the comments. I'm pretty sure I found 4 or so playing this game so much.
The “you suck” chants were in 1 of the 2 versions of Angle’s music in SYM, if I remember right? You had to select the that version to hear it, I think.
I always thought the spinner belt looked horrendous and I still do to this day. It is a fair comparison to have John Cena’s belt be in the same comparison to Stone Cold Steve Austin’s belt, however I thought Austin’s belt looked way cooler. Finally I would’ve been cool with it if Cena held the spinner belt and say Randy Orton beat him they would transition back to the undisputed design, if Cena won the belt he would go back to the spinner belt, vice versa however WWE decide the spinner belt would be the default design which I hated.
At least after Cena's injury in the Fall of '07 the belt was "fixed" so it wouldn't spin anymore. I did like how it looked with Jeff Hardy and CM Punk.
Matt B but didn’t you think it looked weird to see Randy Orton, CM punk, or even Jeff Hardy holding that belt when in my mind it should’ve transition back to Undisputed design? I still don’t understand why they got rid of that design there was nothing wrong with it actually thought it looked very good.
This game got me to start watching wrestling again back when I got it lol. I had a good 2nd run as a fan in the peak of the ruthless aggression era... I just starting watching a bit just to see who all the new guys on the roster were... Next thing I knew I was hooked into the stories. There were still enough attitude era alumni to make me feel at home
I'm surprised the infamous cutscene in season mode where Undertaker buried Eddie Guerrero and the game was released around the same time as Eddie's death. It's a shame that THQ didn't bother to delete the cutscene in the rereleases of the game
@@jaycerrito3142 Games might have had PSP exclusive wrestlers up to SVR 2011, but this was the only time they wanted you to get the game on PSP and transfer a wrestler over to the PS2 for a complete PS2 roster.
All SVR games are lack of superstar and especially the divas. Just like wwe victoria not included in SVR 2006,2007,2008, and others wwe superstar many matches in a tv show of wwe while in the game they not included.
Fun fact: When you win the WWE Championship, choose the Undisputed Title and go to Title Match mode, you can see the WWF scratch logo on the main plate.
I fucking remember that “sing to the music” bs come up randomly( I loved Shawn Michaels) always thinking the tone and volume were off, and feeling confused
I unlocked Jake "The Snake" Roberts with an AR Max on this, as well as adding in MITB Ladder Match and being able to use NPC's in matches. I even had a code which allowed a tag-team Buried Alive Match (like the one that Taker and Show had against Rock and Mankind on SD)
Ahh yes the “Full-fill your Fantasy” match, or the term i christened for the “make sure your parents arent within a 30 mile vicinity when playing” match.
i knew couple glitches in SVR 08 steel cage and back breaker barricade steel cage glitch all you gotta do is become a superstar with brawler set perform it throw your opponent at the lower left cage door do a suplex it'll seem you would be escaping animation but suddenly get back up expect your opponent now you would got a wacky camera angle back breaker barricade is simple just go outside the ring and perform a back breaker animation hit your opponent on any corner and walk to the crowd (this also works in SVR 09)
Weird/sad fact: SvR 2006 was released on Nov 11th 2005, 2 days before Eddie Guerrero’s death on Nov 13th 2005. Plus, in the actual storyline “The Undertaker’s Urn,” once you defeat Taker in a Buried Alive match, he chokeslams Eddie into the casket and Eddie is buried. Just weird to think Eddie passed away in real life 2 days later.
This was my favourite wwe game and I collected them every year from "just bring it" the gm mode in this game was ahead of its time, even for me! I didn't get it but I've now dug the game out of storage to play again and wow! It's good. The only games I played day in day out the most with.
Fun fact: Retro Hulk Hogan is labeled as Hogan 80s even that's clearly 90s Hogan: 1990-1991 to be more specific cause if it was 80s Hogan his tang-top would have said Hulkamania and he would be wearing his Hulkamania headtie instead of his Hulk Rules du-rag.
Correction: The " You Suck" chants are in Smackdown SYM. Maybe it was my headphones listening to the audio, I couldn't hear them clearly. The chants are at least a lot more audible in Smackdown vs Raw 2006.
Second Correction: Hogan is playable In SVR 2006. But "Hollywood Hogan" and 80's Hogan are not.

To be fair, there was no way they could get Bret to do voice over since he was not on good terms with wwe in 2005
I think It was only in 2006, when he was inducted in the Hall Of Fame, and even after that, It took him another 4 years to return to WWE
This game got me to start watching wrestling again back when I got it lol. I had a good 2nd run as a fan in the peak of the ruthless aggression era... I just starting watching a bit just to see who all the new guys on the roster were... Next thing I knew I was hooked into the stories. There were still enough attitude era alumni to make me feel at home
Do Smackdown vs Raw 2007 next!!!
He does it in order
The soundtrack of this game is underrated. For me, it’s one of the best ever produced in a video game, especially if you like hip-hop.
I'm surprised the infamous cutscene in season mode where Undertaker buried Eddie Guerrero and the game was released around the same time as Eddie's death. It's a shame that THQ didn't bother to delete the cutscene in the rereleases of the game
Eddie wouldn't care.
he died to late to remove it from the game
Jay Cerrito If you know how to remove something two days before release date, I’d love to know.
Was too late to cut. But I did find it weird.
@@callmeshady6234 In fact, he died two days before the game came out.
5:06 I first seen this in 07 never noticed it was in 06 too. Also I always thought it was Michael Cole singing it😂😂
I thought I'd never see Undertaker hitting JBL with a Kawada Driver through a car windshield. 9:56
2:52 Thankfully this wasn't made a yearly thing...
It was until SVR 2011
@@jaycerrito3142 Games might have had PSP exclusive wrestlers up to SVR 2011, but this was the only time they wanted you to get the game on PSP and transfer a wrestler over to the PS2 for a complete PS2 roster.
Actually SVR 2006 provides Eugene, Trish Stratus and Torrie Wilson voice-over on Season Mode.
Sweet chin music almost as painful as your singing 😂😂 that line will never get old
Kurt Angle saying "no no we're gonna redo that" for his entrance lol
Still love SvR '06, play it to this day
2:22 actually, only the 80's Hogan wasn't playable in the Season Mode, the current version (at the time) was! And he had his own voice acting!
All SVR games are lack of superstar and especially the divas. Just like wwe victoria not included in SVR 2006,2007,2008, and others wwe superstar many matches in a tv show of wwe while in the game they not included.
2:22 Hogan is playable in season mode
Fun fact: When you win the WWE Championship, choose the Undisputed Title and go to Title Match mode, you can see the WWF scratch logo on the main plate.
This is still my favorite WWE game
I already knew all this but good video non the less 😁
I fucking remember that “sing to the music” bs come up randomly( I loved Shawn Michaels) always thinking the tone and volume were off, and feeling confused
I love these kind of videos!
I unlocked Jake "The Snake" Roberts with an AR Max on this, as well as adding in MITB Ladder Match and being able to use NPC's in matches.
I even had a code which allowed a tag-team Buried Alive Match (like the one that Taker and Show had against Rock and Mankind on SD)
That wipe from Joy Giovanni to Vince was oddly fitting .
I bought this game again (It's very complicated to find out in my country) and I'm playing as child... What a piece of art!
“The crowd I’d the most important things in wwe”
Shows in background: Empty Raw and Smackdown Arena
... that was the point
I enjoyed the video but why did you record all gameplays in 144p???
Ahh yes the “Full-fill your Fantasy” match, or the term i christened for the “make sure your parents arent within a 30 mile vicinity when playing” match.
SvR 2006 was one of the best games in the series that year.
Not just the fulfill your fantasy but if you play as lita and taunt alot you'll get the same chants because of Matt hardy
The GOAT wrestling game of the PS2 era as far as your create a wrestler mode goes.
In 2K18 my Created Wrestler uses the Heat Seeking Elbow as a finisher and Michael Cole calls it a Piledriver every damn time
Can you mute the commentary and get the menu music to play instead? Or are you left with just silence and just the sound effects
i knew couple glitches in SVR 08 steel cage and back breaker barricade
steel cage glitch all you gotta do is become a superstar with brawler set perform it throw your opponent at the lower left cage door do a suplex it'll seem you would be escaping animation but suddenly get back up expect your opponent now you would got a wacky camera angle
back breaker barricade is simple just go outside the ring and perform a back breaker animation hit your opponent on any corner and walk to the crowd (this also works in SVR 09)
The loading times on PSP were definitely horrible lol but always worth the wait
I played it yesterday too.
Weird/sad fact: SvR 2006 was released on Nov 11th 2005, 2 days before Eddie Guerrero’s death on Nov 13th 2005.
Plus, in the actual storyline “The Undertaker’s Urn,” once you defeat Taker in a Buried Alive match, he chokeslams Eddie into the casket and Eddie is buried. Just weird to think Eddie passed away in real life 2 days later.
I remember thinking the same in 2005 when I first used eddie to beat the smackdown season. my bro go Utube - are you a good person by Living Waters
tazz sings this in the next few games whenever he’s on commentary
They started the "You Suck" chants back in SYM.
This was my favourite wwe game and I collected them every year from "just bring it" the gm mode in this game was ahead of its time, even for me! I didn't get it but I've now dug the game out of storage to play again and wow! It's good. The only games I played day in day out the most with.
Hulk Hogan was playable in season mode. I vividly remember that one
Who in the blue hell is hill Hogan
@@callmeshady6234 Auto correct has claimed another victim today
Fun fact: Retro Hulk Hogan is labeled as Hogan 80s even that's clearly 90s Hogan: 1990-1991 to be more specific cause if it was 80s Hogan his tang-top would have said Hulkamania and he would be wearing his Hulkamania headtie instead of his Hulk Rules du-rag.
Wow when tazz sings that I remember Michael Cole would say his singing was as bad as is cooking legendary commentary
