Leading worldwide video game developer and publisher, THQ Inc., today called on fans to join the hundreds already registered to compete in the WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 International Tournament, presented by HMV, before registration closes on February 8, 2008.

Since registration began in December 2007, almost 700 WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 players have signed up to compete against international opponents from the USA, United Kingdom and Europe on Xbox Live.

The tournament, which is running qualifying challenges until February 8, 2008, places online gamers across the globe in a virtual ring, battling for the ultimate prize of two highly coveted floor tickets to the WWE live event, WrestleMania 24, which will take place on March 30, 2008 in Orlando, Florida, USA.

Major League Gaming, the world’s largest organised video gaming league, is producing, hosting and operating the WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 International Tournament on www.gamebattles.com/svr. In early March, the four top players in each region will move on to compete in regional finals.

One European finalist, one UK finalist and two North American finalists will then battle head-to-head at the grand finale, scheduled to take place during the 6th Annual THQ Superstar Challenge on March 27, 2008 at the House of Blues, Orlando, Florida, USA.

At the 6th Annual THQ Superstar Challenge, finalists will not only have the opportunity to play live against one another in front of a capacity crowd, but will also get to share the gaming spotlight with the top WWE Superstars in attendance.  

In addition to the grand prize winner receiving floor tickets to WrestleMania 24, all will not be lost for the three runner-up competitors.  After battling to the end on stage, each will receive two stadium tickets to WWE’s biggest event of the year.

Registration for the WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 Global Challenge begins on December 8.  Gamers may register for the tournament at www.gamebattles.com/svr.

  • Nice im registering now wouldn't mind some of those tickets
  • wow, i suck compared to the players online, think i'll sit this one out. that grand prize is pretty nice though.
  • shame i no longer have the game. D'oh
  • Yeah,I neither have,nor want the game.Even after reading this.....And Mustard,how can you say the grand prize is nice though?Why do so many people want to see WWE matches in person?All of the crap is rigged.I personally stopped watching the matches years ago....
  • I kinda like the picture on my tv better and besides i lost my interest in wrestling a long time ago
  • yeah i would sign up that wrestling stuff is all fake so theirs really no point but to sell them..
  • wrestling is literally gay...
  • i allready have my ticket to that event booked so i dont need this contest, plus this game sucks compared to previous games so no doubt some glitching lil idiot will win using some cheap move or something.
  • Guys stop flaming and just shut the fuck up. There's plenty of people who enjoy wrestling for the athletics and entertaining storylines. "wrestling is literally gay" Really? Thanks for the headline.
  • wrestling is fake, and set up. I may get the game to check it out, but the actual sport is fake.
  • This game is bad compared to the previous one.
  • Worldwide? I was going to join this, until I noticed that Australians aren't included...
  • i was training to be a wrestler it is set up but the damage to their bodies is real but like i said i lost interest in it a long time ago but i still have a wrestlemania party every year for me and my friends the game is ok just some quick and easy achievements but not one of the best ones
