WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008 Roster Update

If you're a professional wresting fan, we don't have to tell you -- WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008 is coming. However, the wait hasn't been -- and isn't going to be -- easy. Each week, WWE Superstars duke it out on TV, and you end up sadly glancing at your videogame machine and praying that the faces and heels will make haste to the digital world.

Today, the wait is a bit easier. THQ has announced the next five superstars for this year's game: Carlito, CM Punk, the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels, the Nature Boy Ric Flair and Mr. Kennedy … Kennedy!

The five join the previously announced roster of Jeff Hardy, Undertaker, Bobby Lashley, Kane, Triple H, John Cena, Rey Mysterio and Randy Orton. The company's three commentary teams will also join a plethora of others on the final roster.
