don't diss on that PPV. I liked that one.


I am eagerly anticipating a download of WCW thunder for wii virtual console.

One of the worst games...EVER.

Stick with Revenge, WM2K, or No Mercy. All much better than that Thunder garbage.

He's probably excited about WWF Attitude and WCW Nitro as well.

Those games make me want to hurt myself. And those "In Your House" and "Wrestlemania The Arcade Game" fighting games that sucked ass.

Sarcasm is sneering, jesting, or mocking a person, situation or thing. It is strongly associated with irony, with some definitions classifying it as a type of verbal irony intended to insult or wound[1] -- stating the opposite of the intended meaning, e.g. using "that's amazing" to mean "that's awful". It is used in a humorous manner, often harshly, and is expressed through vocal intonations such as over-emphasizing the actual statement or particular words. Use of sarcasm is sometimes viewed as an expression of concealed anger[2] or annoyance.

I liked Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game. I just wish they had been able to implement all the fatalities before McMahon told them not to.

This thread was started while I was away I think and I didn't feel like reading the whole thing, but how on Earth did a thread about OJ's dumbass book wind up being about wrestling video games? Not complaining or anything, just really, really confused

JEW, can you edit the things from youtube instead of just copy and pasting so there's not all that mess in the message? Anyone else who hasn't done it please do it as well, but you've posted a ton of videos in the last hour which is why you're sticking out in my mind as doing it.

Only The Undertaker has a fatality in the Midway Wrestlemania game.

There had been persistent rumors of others, but the programmers confirmed that McMahon found out they were putting in fatalities and told them they couldn't add any more in.

The Undertaker's fatality is executed as such:

When 'Pin Him' appears, press Up, Down, Down, Punch. The opponent must be in mid-left section of the ring. The Undertaker pushes his opponent into a coffin which appears from under the ring. The coffin goes back down and a tombstone appears in its place.

I never got into the PS2 or XBox wrestling games except for the capabilities of the XBox version to make ridiculously sweet entrances, from which Spanky McCracken was born.

I always loved the THQ/AKI games because you couldn't just punch and kick your way to victory. There was strategy involved and the melees were 100 times better.

You could, however, Big Boot your way to victory in an over the top rope elimination match.

It's true, but you actually had to weaken the guy before he would cease to reverse the Irish whip. Granted, if you weren't fast enough with the reversal button than you'd get eliminated, but usually our OTR matches were 30 guys, so they would still be a decently good time.

While there might not be much strategy in those Royal Rumble matches in No Mercy and the like, there certainly was a lot of strategy involved in the multiplayer tag matches. Actually, what Spanky said is the exact phrase one of my friends said this weekend when we broke out the N64 and partook in some No Mercy. I just wish they had kept the two out rule that they had in the original, WCW vs. NWO World Tour. That created 2 on 1 possibilities with the possible intervention of the eliminated teammate. That was always fun.

We actually played some SMB2 on the SNES afterwards, and I casually mentioned that it wasn't the real SMB2, which they didn't know about. So I told them I found out about Doki Doki Panic on this website almost a year ago. Hopefully, that'll create a few more hits this month.

it's funny to think that a guy that was responsible for a storyline where the undertaker crucified stephanie mcmahon on a flaming T above the titantron would complain about people being buried in a videogame.

I seem to recall reading on the back of in your house somethign like "all new finishing maneuvers like HBK's heartbreak hotel!" but I never actualyl pulled one off, because I thougth they were dumb.

as far as current games, I was an addict for the ones on gamecube, and even tried hard to enjoy wrestlemania X8. I used to be addicted to no mercy on N64, so that naturally translated over to the day of reckoning games, which were sweet as fuck.

I had fun with smackdown until the more recent ones, which were overly complicated and boring, and felt more like somethign EA sports would do than WWE, but SVR 2007 might be fun.

raw 2 was a fun distraction, with amking the rad ass entrances and stuff, but as a game it sucked. we used to make ourselves and all sorts of weirdos and paly the min season mode till we realized that no matter what you did, it didn't make a difference, because the game was unfinished.

Don't forget the greatest moment of all-time: HHH fucking a corpse.

I tried X-8 and couldn't fathom why anyone would keep this game. Just god-awful.

I've never tried the DOR series. What consoles were they for, and was the gameplay like No Mercy?

HHH fucking a corpse is the pinnacle of sports entertianment, it is a defining moment for the company and for the business in t's entirety.


wrestlemania X8 sucked to me too initially, then it turned into more of a "meh, it can't be THAT bad" thing. but to be hoenst, the game was horrible. it was just the first game to to let you play as the hurricane and NWO hogan.

the DOR games are on the gamecube, and they are pretty much a smoother no mercy, not to be confused with a faster no mercy like def jam vendetta. they're pretty cheap now, so you might as well get them both.

I actually really enjoyed Vendetta, minus the depth of moves and yes, the quicker pace. I'll have to pick up the DOR games. Thanks.

oh don't get me wrong, I had tons of fun with vendetta, but all they really did was take no mercy, remove the opponent sitting position, remove most of the turnbuckle play, and speed the game up nine hundred percent. it's still the only FUN game where you can play as method man.

Shouldn't about 2 pages of this thread be moved over to the Video Game subforum? I completely forgot the initial subject reading that far.


"Life is a waste of time. Time is a waste of life. Get wasted all the time, and you'll have the time of your life!"
