Do I hear wedding bells?
Sfone and me have a similar taste in games, if he likes it it's pretty certain I will too.

Doesn't really bother me. In Smackdown 4 they wear it for ring entrances but never for the match. I am looking to sell the original RAW and Smackdown 4 and to pick up RAW 2. If its bad then I can sell it fund money for another game.
So the stamina bars have gone haven't they?
But what about the crowd/momentum meter?
I really like that in RAW because when you go up against a crowd favourite it's more difficult to get the crowd on your side and pull off specials. I found it a great feature but I can't remember if they've left it in RAW 2.
I also really liked the way normal moves became better/special as the crowd/momentum meter was flashing.
I can see what people meant by some of the specials being difficult to do though, but mianly this is down to not knowing the wrestlers special move in the first place - pulling of Benoit's Crippler Crossface is dead easy and extremely satisfying when it results in a submission!

True. But I'd rather have the optionof putting on a belt rather than having to go in to CAW mode and take it off everytime I win one.

If it's anything like RAW there'll be loads. There's 10 grapple moves per character at least and a lot of location specific ones depending on where you are and where your opponent is. If you need to check for other moves go back into create-a-wrestler and have a look at your characters move list again.

I think this is because you need to gain more status before some of the better known characters will bother with your character.

It still makes it unrealistic though for those who don't like CAW modes. I have a feeling Freedom ighters will have little replay value and even though it is an awesome game I will most likely trade it in for either RAW 2 or Viewtiful Joe nearer the time.

If it's anything like the original RAW you can put the belt on a created wrestler by going into create a wrestler and editing your wrestler. Select the male option and then go to the 'special/etra features/itmes' box or whatever it's called, ythen go to 'waist' and you should be able to select the belt. Your wrestler will come into matches with the belt on and it can be used as a weapon once it gets knocked off.
The belt should also appear on the pre-match screen.
This is what you have to do in the original RAW, so I hope it is of some help.
