PSP and WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2007

My gaming story from Christmas past came around the time when I was ten years old and my mom got me a two-fer gift buying me a PSP and WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2007. Despite this being the best gift a parent could give a child who headcanoned that the Rock was his father for the first five years of their life, I already knew she was planning on getting me the game months in advance. You see, she started taking more interest in wrestling all of a sudden beyond asking me who all those tattooed white men were. I, however, acted totally normal about my Christmas gift precognition. Whenever she’d step out of the house, I’d sneak into her closet to ogle at the product boxes for the portable console and game that was haphazardly tucked away in a month-old Gamestop bag. When she came back home, I’d place the gifts back the same way she’d left them. This would go on every day until Christmas when I’d feign surprise at the gifts like a multi-Oscar award-winning actor.
