1.2) About me
-------------
I am a 30 years old man, and always liked wrestling, I started with WWF for a
lot of years, but after some years "TV Koper" stopped broadcasting it.
I passed a lot of years without wrestling (except for videogames), and now I
can only watch "Smackdown!" and NWE, because the other shows are on satellite
Pay TV, and I can't watch them.
I am Italian, and I live in a small town called Castelfranco Veneto. Right now
I am studying to became a sort of sanitarian operator (called O.S.S.)
My dream? To marry with my girlfriend Eleonor.

3.0) Bio
--------
Real Name: Danny Holly
Ring Name: Danny Basham
Height: 6 feet and 3 inches
Weight: 250 lbs
From: Seymour, Indiana
Trained by: Danny Davis, Doug Basham and Jim Cornette
Professional Debut: 1999
Finishing Moves: Brain Damage, Elevated DDT, Top-Rope Back Suplex
Career Titles:
- WWE Tag-Team Champion with Doug Basham (2 times)
- OVW Heavyweight Champion (4 times)
- OVW Southern Tag-Team Champion (3 times)
Holly made his wrestling debut in Ohio Valley Wrestling, as the Damaja. On
January 6, he and David C. were awarded the OVW Tag Title when Nick Dinsmore
no-showed and Rob Conway was counted out. He was also a three-time OVW
Champion, defeating the likes of Dinsmore, Flash Flanagan, and Nova.
In 2003 he was given the managerial services of Tough Enough II winner Jackie
Gayda, and then on May 29, made his WWE television debut (as Danny Basham),
teaming with Doug Basham to form the heel tag-team, the Basham Brothers. The
Bashams (as they were commonly known) were later aligned with the valet,
Shaniqua. As well as being portrayed with a bondage-based S&M gimmick, the
"brothers" often switched places mid-match, so the "fresher" wrestler was
always in the ring. In almost all cases the referee acted oblivious to the
switch, despite their easily differentiated faces.
In November 2004, the Basham Brothers joined John 'Bradshaw' Layfield's stable,
The Cabinet, as "Co-Secretaries of Defense". Their role was often to sacrifice
themselves to prevent Layfield from getting harmed after he had provoked an
opponent. However, the Basham Brothers quit Layfield's Cabinet on the June 16,
2005 episode of SmackDown!, claiming that they were tired of being "JBL's crash
test dummies".
On June 30, 2005, Basham became one of the last-minute trades in the 2005 WWE
Draft, which saw him leave SmackDown! for RAW. This marked the end of the
partnership with his "twin brother," who remained on SmackDown!
Holly has been working dark matches during RAW tapings as his old character,
The Damaja.

6.0 Game review
---------------
This is mi personal review for this game. I hope it can help you to decide if
to buy it or not. You can find this review on Gamefaqs.com, the first free
source of faqs all over the web.
Here I am, to talk about another game about the WWE universe. But is that a
good game? On a first look this game can be taken as an update of his
predecessor, Smackdown! vs RAW, but it offers more on every aspect, like
gameplay and value that you will like it. Keep reading, if you want to know
more.
Graphics: 9/10
Every game they improve the graphic. Smackdown! vs RAW 2006 is no exception,
they scan the wrestler faces, and you can see the results with your own eyes.
The only thing I don't like, it's a problem I see every WWE game. I am talking
about the "create a wrestler" section.
I know that a Playstation 2 has some power limits, but I hate when I see my
creation almost perfect, and when it goes to ring is graphically downgraded to
spare console power. It's simply frustrating (if you have a lot of created
wrestlers like me.)
But the arenas, detailed, well done... but they looks exactly like the last
year arenas.
Another good addition to the graphic side are the entrances, this year they are
very well detailed, and almost all of them are marvellous reproductions of real
WWE superstars entrances. With some exceptions, of course (Batista and others).
The create an entrance section this year gives you more tools to prepare a
better entrance, allowing you to choose lights, pyros and moves for every
section of the stadium. That is a very good thing, but when I prepared my first
entrance, it took almost one hour to check every single camera position!
Sound: 10/10
This time you will hear a lot of voices from your favourite wrestlers, music
are very good, and entrance music are reproduced very well, in an almost
perfect way. This time is a professional work that won't disappoint you in any
way.
Unfortunately the commentary can't be described as above. It will give you a
bad feeling of repetition, hearing all the times you do a finishing move the
same words and phrases over and over again.
Controls: 9/10
Controls are well distributed on the gamepad, and they work fast. The only
thing I never liked is the targeting system. Almost every time I try to target
a different opponent I target my own partner, or the referee or even the wrong
enemy.
In a single match it's not a real problem, but on multi-opponent matches, like
the Royal Rumble, it's a real pain.
Gameplay: 8/10
No doubt that Smackdown! vs RAW 2006 is a really great game. So, why I gave
only 8 points on gameplay? It's sad to say that, but... if you play that game
alone, it's not too fun. The core of the entire game, the season, it's made by
only a few episodes. You will play two episodes (not chosen randomly), the
Royal Rumble episode, and then the Wrestlemania Episode (and not for all
wrestlers, some of them won't be available for season play.)
No more, no less. There are no plots like title defence or parties, like Here
Comes the Pain (the best season of all WWE games). When I played the game for
the first time I was really disappointed of that, and I think it will be the
same for you.
The roster is pretty good, a huge selection of WWE superstars and divas like
Trish Stratus, the Undertaker, Batista and John Cena.
There is also a legend selection that includes Andre the Giant, three (yes,
three) almost identical version of the legendary Hulk Hogan, and the usual
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin and the Rock.
I was disappointed to have three different version of the same wrestler, I
think it's a waste of space than can be used for other wrestlers and legends.
Another bad thing it's the idea to put Jake "the Snake" Roberts in the game,
but you have to connect your PS2 with a PSP with him unlocked in that, then
transfer it to your PS2.
Sincerely, I find all this stuff nothing more than a marketing manoeuvre to
promote the PSP.
Of course, if you have the old PS2 (not the slim version), you can't connect
with a PSP, and it's very difficult you will ever see Jake Roberts on your
machine.
If you play this game with at least a friend... this changes a lot. I have
played with a multi-tap, and four friends, and I can assure you that I had the
time of my life! We shouted, insulted each other... we really enjoyed that.
Regarding the multiplayer option, I have the old PS2, and I can't play online,
so I don't know how is this game online, but a lot of people said me that is
slowed down. The online play is hosted on a Gamespy server, and it seems that
it's not doing a very good job.
Sometimes after a match the game will freeze up. Another problem is that
sometimes your wins or losses won't even count for some reason or bugs.
I am sorry, but I don't play online, so I don�t have more details for you.
The challenges are back in this game again, and add something more to the
length of the game, giving you something more to do in this game. They will
also allow you to unlock special bonus, like furniture for your room, and
increase the durability of the game quite a lot.
There is also a new season type, called General mode. In that season you can
arrange your brand by yourself, creating a roster, deciding all the matches
every week. You decide your marketing strategies, creating feuds and
interfering with the other show.
The only thing I don't like is that you can't decide the match results by
yourself, so, after all you don't have all the control on the brand you will
have as a real General Manager.
This mode has potential, and a lot of it, but it's not really entertaining as
it sound, but, after all, it's the first year that this new game mode is
implemented, I am sure it will be in future WWE games, and will became more and
more fun than now.
Conclusions: 9/10
If you want to play this game alone, I suggest you Here Comes the Pain or
Smackdown! vs RAW.
But, if you will play this game with some friends, it will give you one of the
most entertaining experience of your life, for you and all your friends. If you
are a fan of the WWE games then you should absolutely try give game, it
absolutely worth the effort.
