This is the seventh year of IGN teaming with THQ to bring you an exclusive look at the Superstars of the latest WWE videogame. This year, we'll be detailing all of the WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008's in-ring renegades -- legends, divas and the current brawlers. What can you expect on these pages as time goes by? Well, be on the lookout for stats, bios, videos, screens and much more as we get in-depth, hands-on time with these titles.
Who gets the special PSP Countdown spotlight today? Why, it's none other than the portable's exclusive legends -- Jim Neidhart, Sgt. Slaughter and Eddie Guerrero.

6' WEIGHT:
282 lbs. HOMETOWN:
Calgary, Alberta
An amateur record-holding shot-putter. A devoted family man. A former NFL player. Those are a few of the things you could call Jim Neidhart, but most would call The Anvil one of the most intense sports-entertainers of all-time. Intensity is an attribute that many Superstars go their whole careers attempting to perfect in the ring, but for this former WWE Superstar, it was a trademark all his own, although he is quick to point out his beginning in the business was extreme enough.
After an outstanding high school shot-putting career at Newport Harbor High School in Newport Beach, Calif., and after being cut by the Dallas Cowboys, Neidhart ventured north to Calgary, Alberta, and Stu Hart's infamous dungeon for professional wrestling training.
Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart then became a mainstay with WWE in the '80s, one-half of the legendary Hart Foundation with Bret "Hit Man" Hart. The two men were on top of the tag team world for much of the decade, either holding the World Tag Team Championship or battling over the titles.
