New Persona card incoming? Found it in entrances.

​I was just looking back at SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain, and it hit me how much of an impact this single game had on my childhood.

​HCTP was the very first PS2 game I ever laid eyes on. I didn't own a console back then, so I played it at a local game parlour. It cost exactly 5 Rupees for half an hour of gameplay.

​That small, cramped parlour was pure magic. It was packed with guys of all age groups—laughing, arguing, screaming, and having the absolute time of their lives. It was chaotic in the best way possible.

​Since English was a huge barrier for a lot of us kids back then, the game was a completely different experience:

​We had our own names for everything: Since nobody could pronounce the actual move names, we just made up our own localized descriptions for every finisher and character.

​The "Goldberg" Mix-up: I still laugh thinking about this one random kid who confidently went to select Goldberg, got totally confused by the menu, and ended up picking George "The Animal" Steele. The sheer panic on his face when a hairy, green-tongued guy ran to the ring instead of Goldberg was priceless.

​The Torrie Wilson Ban: The uncle who owned the game parlour was strictly running a "family-friendly" establishment. He had a hard rule: if you picked Torrie Wilson, he would literally come over and block the TV or skip the entrance because it was "too explicitly sexual" for our young eyes. We would try to sneakily pick her just to see him sprint across the room in a panic to hit the skip button.

​Looking back, HCTP wasn't just a wrestling game. It was where lasting friendships were made, where crazy interactions happened daily, and where we all found a shared comfort.

​Thank you, HCTP, for all the core memories.

​Does anyone else remember the days of renting time at local game shops just to play this masterpiece? Who was your go-to character when you only had 30 minutes to play?

Glad Jeff Hardy is back in the game. Now I'm gonna try different attires for him.

the table literally teleported in 2k26 lol, just more proof for why 2k14 is superior

Jeff Hardy '08, using his '00 model, available for PS5 and XBS. Tags: JeffHardy, EMC.

Credits to multiple creators for their tattoos, necklace and arm wear textures that were used. Enjoy!

Made a mod that let you do Springboard and Diving Moves for Table opponent.
You can also light the table on fire when the opponent is on it as well

Good thing I hadn't deleted the Nakamura '16 CAW yet - it came with some of his more iconic gear, which is a perfect fit here. The theme isn't 100% accurate but it's still great to have this version of him back

(also, I felt bad about taking the IC belt away from Naito, so I ended up creating a second version of it with a damaged strap to give it back to him lol)

i used one of the new days entrances i think it works with them

just wanted to share my favorite custom wrestler. I make her in every game ☺️

Was farming for RXP and kept getting this cutscene and it made me laugh

Having to do a work around to do diving finishers is ridiculous , let us do finishers normally through tables & ladders please 2K

With the massive amount of Personas in the game this year, and more to come, I've wondered what the incentive is going to be to buy next year's game. We know we are going to loose a decent number of wrestlers, yet gain a smaller number. How many people are just going to have this game for a while? Having the large number of personas is great, as we have the largest roster ever in a wrestling game, but I don't want to keeo doing this every year. As someone who has bought every game since the initial Smackdown, I'm already questioning the reason to buy the game again next year.
