5. WWE Smackdown! Shut Your Mouth
Released in 2002, WWE Smackdown! Shut Your Mouth was the first to be released under the WWE's new guise. It was also the first wrestling game in THQ's series to feature wrestlers on two different brands - Raw and Smackdown, following the draft. This game marks the first appearance of former ECW and WCW wrestlers, as Vince McMahon purchased both companies in 2001. Superstars such as Booker T, Rob Van Dam, Diamond Dallas Page, Lance Storm, Billy Kidman, Torrie Wilson and Stacy Keibler all featured, whilst the game also marks the first appearance of future World Heavyweight Champions Randy Orton and Brock Lesnar as playable characters. There's a history lesson for you, folks!
