    "the Man Breeze" has to be the funniest name for a company I ever heard. They should have just named themselves "Gentleman Farts" lmfao

    The Unknown was Super Delfin of Michinoku Pro. Delfin never competed in WCW, so him being added to the roster is pretty random.

    I had this when it came out, I thought it was pretty amazing at the time coming from RAW on the SNES. The intro video was awesome, all the moves and reversals were great, tons of wrestlers to choose, and the crowd and backgrounds in the arena looked much better than WCW vs. NWO.

    Went from WrestleMania on Sega Genesis to this on PS1 in 1997 and it blew my mind! I was 12 years old. I lived in an apartment complex and 3 of my friends had the game. We'd have Title Vs Title Matches every weekend. We'd also run 4v4 tournaments taking turns against the CPU. This was the best wrestling game experience of my life. I always used Billy Gaijin because I LOVED Scott Norton.

      What a time to be alive. I have to admit, I grew up with the PS2. So seeing better graphics between game consoles and hearing about technical limitations was cool. But now, it seems we've almost reached the summit. So the console graphics jump isn't really meaning much now. When I was a kid, HD was a distant dream. Then in a short time it became the standard. Technology moves fast that's for sure.

    Aki is well known for their fictional wrestlers in their WCW games. I believe that they are based on real wrestlers, but they didn't have the rights to their name or likeness, so they alter the characters enough to get away with it and slapped a different name on him. For example, on WCW vs nWo Revenge Jekel is supposed to be Dr Death Steve Williams.

    • @beanomac3126

      Yeah, but the names they came up with in this game for those fictional characters are hilarious 😂. They definitely had fun that's for sure.

    Scott Steiner has the best moveset in every game he’s in!
    Mullet singlet Scott is arguably the most talented to ever wrestle
    Chain mail rocking Big Poppa Pump is one of the greatest transformations in history
    White Lightening Peaks&Freaks haha
    This game though I was always fond of along with Power Pro Wrestling? Could be wrong on that title but it even had in ring announcer!
    This game was more than likely a port of Fire Pro back then? But felt its underrated

    Sanders Keel said on a podcast he was a tester at THQ his mentor asked him to play Virtual Pro Wrestling for 2 weeks and see if these guys should make a WCW game for THQ. Sanders played for like 20 minutes and loved it because it played like grappler instead od a fighting game so he had them do a quick and dirty localization. WCW gave them the shots of Sting months before he debuted as the Crow as well.

    this was far better than the nitro and thundar games for PSX. I still dont understand why they moved away from this format for the PSX but gave pure gold to n64.

      They seem to have gotten lazy. The developers of Nitro and Thunder I don't think we're even wrestling fans. THQ left them to their own devices and they were more interested in putting themselves in a game than actually making a good one. That said, I've still got to try Nitro and Thunder before I give a final grade to it.
