THQ has announced details on the first community contest in a ten-week series for its game WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2010 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. (You might know it as the videogame with the best writing in the history of videogames.) The company is challenging its customers to create the ultimate WWE Superstar and/or Diva. Here’s a snippet from the press release:
The first community contest begins today, encouraging site members to use the game’s Create-a-Superstar Mode to construct and name their ultimate Superstars and Divas. Consumers will also submit brief written descriptions to further tell the stories behind their creations. All entries will be received via PlayStation Network for the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and Xbox Live Marketplace for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. The entries will be judged on character design, character name and the written description. The winner will receive his or her choice of a WWE sweatshirt and WWE t-shirt from www.wweshop.com (subject to availability).
As a videogame lover and WWE fan, I encourage all of you to participate in these contests. If you happen to win with an original Superstar based on me, I’ll get you something special. The storyline can start off with something like this, “Cast off from the place he called home due to dubious circumstances, a lonely Superstar goes back to his roots to fight the battles he loves, the only way he knows how.” Ha!
How much do you want to bet that people are going to create wrestlers using the characters from the South Park episode about wrestling… or rather "wrassling". Rad Russian, Hammerclaw, Triceratops, Juggernaut, Congo, Irene, and (my favorite) El Pollo Loco. I wish I could see some of the entries.

Smartguy,
That line was awsome, but for some reason the "They tuk yer job!" and "They tuk yer dog" lines had me spitting milk through my nose. I just didn't expect the reference to the "Goobacks" episode.
"They tok hid-drr! "

@iceman
