The last game I wrote the scripts and dialogue for, WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007, has just been released, and it's getting some pretty decent reviews, which is always good news for those of us who enjoy the prospect of continued employment.
FUN FACT 1: The most-discussed storyline in the game is the one I didn't come up with. I lay the blame for the "Candice Michelle turns male wrestlers into women with her magic wand" story squarely at the feet of my former script supervisor, who was either having a moment of pure insanity or pure genius. In retrospect, some might see it as him leaving a metaphorical turd on the desk of the company he was getting ready to leave, although he's far too much of a pro to do something like that intentionally. I think.
FUN FACT 2: One of the storylines in the game featured former WWE Superstar Christian in a major role. As soon as I finished my first draft of the script, Christian opted not to renew his WWE contract and instead jumped to TNA (new, upstart rasslin' company). We replaced him in the script with Eddie Guerrero, who died shortly after the second draft of the script was finished. Johnny Nitro was our third choice for the story, so if something awful happens to him, you know why.
