| 0:00.0 | T-H-Q produced some of the best wrestling games ever, but they didn't stop at crafting |
| 0:14.8 | superior digital wrestle first. Oh no, these developers also predicted WWE's future. Who |
| 0:22.9 | knows, if WWE consciously poached these ideas, I mean it's hard to see Vince McMahon sitting |
| 0:28.1 | down to play SmackDown vs Raw 2010 after all. They are damn spooky, nonetheless. With I'm |
| 0:34.4 | I'm Adam Wilborn from Whatculture, and these are nine wrestling video game moments, but |
| 0:39.4 | became real. 9. The Legacy Implosion |
| 0:43.4 | WrestleMania 26's triple threat between Randall and Ted DiBiossi Jr and Cody Rhodes was supposed |
| 0:49.9 | to prep WWE for the future. It was a teasing glance into Vinnie Max crystal ball to see who |
| 0:56.4 | was a future world heavyweight champion. Things didn't quite work out that way for Ted or Cody, |
| 1:02.9 | and also T-H-Q called the Legacy Implosion first. SmackDown vs Raw 2010's road to WrestleMania |

| 1:32.6 | of 2010 come spring. 8. ECW Returns For Good |
| 1:38.8 | In SmackDown vs Raw 2006's season mode, RVD takes the WWE title and announces ECW was on the |
| 1:47.6 | comeback trail. Again, someone at T-H-Q could have been tipped off on future plans here. WWE |
| 1:53.4 | eventually brought ECW back, and that went well as a third brand, following the wildly successful |
| 1:59.6 | One Nightstand 2005 pay-per-view that, as most know was supposed to be a strict one-off, |
| 2:05.8 | but the McMahons decided to put their own spin on Paul Heckman's magic in the summer of |
| 2:11.6 | 2006. RVD went on to take the WWE belt from John Cena at One Nightstand 2006, |
