I revisit SvR 2007 quite often. It was the first wrestling game I paid for myself (in 5th grade). My best friends and I played it for hours. It's still our favorite from the series. However, I could never win GM of the Year in GM mode. Today, 11yrs later, I finally did it. It made me think about how well the game mode stil holds up.
What was your favorite year to play GM Mode?
What brand did you pick/ who was your top guy?
Would you like to see GM Mode return or be an option in Universe Mode in the 2K games?

2007 was my favorite game for GM Mode. I always picked the Smackdown brand for a challenge. I personally am surprised we didn't get some sort of GM Mode, whether it was its own mode or combined with Universe Mode. I would have made it as part of Universe Mode where you get an option of either playing the regular Universe Mode or play as a GM.

They should make it where your "major" shows are competing in ratings to determine joint PPVs. I'd love to have it and it'd add some more depth to Universe mode.

Much as I loved GM mode, I'm not afraid to admit that it was always of questionable popularity until SvR 2008 killed it with the awfully implemented 24/7 mode. It's a shame it wasn't all that popular because I would love GM mode to come back otherwise.
SvR 2007 had the best version of it for sure though. 06 laid the foundation and 07 improved on it heavily.

2007. I always picked Smackdown and back in the day was always taking Orton as my top guy - which is funny as I find 2017 Orton painfully dull. I hopped on it quite recently and was painfully reminded that a superstar must be a 'contender' in order to have a title shot, argh. Also the CPU putting on Inferno TLC in a Cell matches on free television week in week out to pip your show is still frustrating

I think it was '06? But I always made it a priority to boost Regal's popularity. He started in the 50s and slowly but surely, I'd have him main eventing Wrestlemania and he'd always deliver a 5 star match.
I still bust out the PSP from time to time, just to sim through GM mode.
