Oh man I played the fuck out of that game with my friends. 4 player was insane. Shit would make everybody buttfurious, goddamn there would be so many fights. Jeckel was an absolute beast, and that ninja dude Han-Zo-Mon was fun. We had also changed all the costumes (it had that minor costume editor) and names of the wrestlers to retarded ones which was rather lol.

That was also my favourite Wrestling game, OP. I got Wrestlemania later for N64 but it just wasn't the same. Second favourite wrestling game ever was probably Wrestlemania for the Genesis, pic related. This game was baller as fuck.

Kevin Nash was so much fun in that game. My bro and I would always do tag team and we'd just timeout DQ the computer by keeping him on the outside with the non-legal player. Pretty sure they didn't let that work in the sequels because it was stupidly broken.

Yeah this game was amazing.

Only problem is that my cartridge would randomly delete all my progress every so often (Characters, story mode progress, unlockables). It was quite a common problem.

I always remember the feeling of disappointment when my custom character would come down to the ring but 'Custom Theme 1' started playing. It meant it had deleted itself and I'd have to create my character again :(

I currently have the N64 hooked up and that game plugged in. It has one of the greatest rosters of all time. Even some of the fictional wrestlers are cool. They have a ninja, a sumo wrestler who looks like E. Honda from Street Fighter, a Frankenstein monster, and a stand-in for the late Dr. Death Steve Williams.

When I play this game though, it often makes me think of all of the wasted potential in WCW. Look at Raven there on the cover.

- Goldberg
- Diamond Dallas Page
- Chris Jericho
- Saturn
- Chris Benoit
- Kanyon

I feel like those are the only guys he ever wrestled in WCW. It's not a bad lineup, but Raven was there for something like two years. He was promoted like he was one of their big guys, the leader of the Flock and all of that, but those are pretty much the only six guys he fought during that time.

British Bulldog was in WCW. Who did he ever face besides Steve McMichael. Jim Neidhart was there, but we never saw the Hart Foundation in action.

Everything was about Goldberg or the nWo. Nothing wrong with them, but they had so many guys who never got pushed.

Anyway, back on topic, the game itself is one of my all-time favorites. I love the battle royal mode. You never know who's going to come out next.

Did you know that in that game no matter how hurt you are, when the opponent pins you if you move the analog stick left then right your opponent has to let you go from a pin or submission no matter how hurt you are

It's cheap as fuck and it was funny while my buddies didn't figure it out, but of course after a while they started noticing that I could kick out of pins and submissions no matter how hurt I was

>WrestleMania was shit
WWE is on a death defying downward spiral into the trash bin. The storylines are boring, the wrestling is dull, the talent pool is stagnant, and the amount of shows they're airing is nerve wracking. You'd would have thought they would have learned from Turner and Bischoff's mistakes, but NOPE!

The last time I found myself legitimately jazzed about the company was during TLC 2011. The match betwen Nash & Triple H was epic.

This post is way off /vr/ related but I can see wrestling love going on in here.

I got out of wrestling once WCW was bought out. I remember when Macho Man died a couple years ago I was majorly bummed for like a week and it still gets me down. When I was a kid I really liked watching the cruiser weights go at it because of their high flying stuff, I was even a big fan of Rey Mysterio before he got huge for awhile there.

You guys ever meet real wrestlers? A guy I know is real good friends with Bruno Sammartino and I got to meet with him. Super cool guy and really friendly.
