The one where the Undertaker threw f***in' ghosts and Bam Bam could set himself on fire.

Wrestlemania the Arcade game was pretty bad I disagree, it's good if only for Vince's commentary on that, plus I had some good times with the Street Fighter-esque ness of it. |

How and Why in the blue hell are Savage and Hogan breakdance fighting with Lucha moves? And I don't even want to know where Tony Schiavone learned how to do a Huracanrana, or why one of the Public Enemy came to Lee Marshall's aid. |

Thunder had a bunch of hidden arenas that you could unlock with a code. They were for all these crazy locations such as a castle, the moon, a graveyard, ect. One of them was the "USO". There the wrestlers would swing dance while they wrestled. I want to say that at the moon arena there was zero gravity but I could be mistaken as it's been a log time. In fact I think there was also a disco arena where the wrestlers dance disco while wrestling.

Ok now see, this is the kind of stuff that would be in the "so bad it's good" variety, at least to me By the way I took the liberty of looking up the arenas on Wikipedia, here's what we got that was normal. Souled Out Bash at the Beach Fall Brawl Classic Thunder arena Slamboree Road Wild GAB Halloween Havoc Cage Match World War 3 Spring Stampede Starrcade Halloween Havoc Superbrawl VII Thunder Now for all the bonus arenas Barnyard USO Space (you were right) Garden (homage to Honey I Shrunk the Kids) Rooftop Parking Lot Frontier Castle Undersea Turbo XTreme (a bar) Hell (called "Hades") and finally "The Box" (Inside a computer) definetely "so bad it's good" in my opinion |

HEY! WCW vs. The World was good for its time. It was the first wrestling game I played (past the clone WWF games on genesis, NO gameplay changes and a little different roster), and it rocked to me...of course I was about 9 at the time.
I read alot of reviews when the PS1 and N64 were out, so if a game got a bad score I obviously steered clear (although I am one of the morons who spent $50 on the South Park game...ugh that was horrible).
Anyway, War Zone sucked huge to me. EXTREMELY outdated roster (didnt they have Bret Hart like nearly a year after the Montreal Screwjob)? Extremely small roster with some bad choices (The Headbangers?!), and weird choices for hidden characters. I wouldnt have minded Bret Hart being hidden or something like that...but Dude Love and Cactus Jack?! Whatev. I dont mind them being hidden (SvR 07), but thats it?!
Not to mention the gameplay. It was just a glorified, slowed down arcade fighter. In contrast to WCW/NWO Revenge, this game did wrestling all wrong. I saw how it was done in Revenge and couldnt believe it had been done right. I kindof marked at War Zone for having actual health bars, but Revenge was very strategic and you were always one move away from pulling a huge comeback or from being chokeslammed away. You also had to know when you could get away with a submission or pin. War Zone was simply pin in red=win, anything else, no. Did they even have actual submission moves?!
I was expecting the worst for Attitude, but it was alot better. Extremely recent roster (for its time), LOTS of hidden wrestlers (good and bad...Head?!), and LOTS of customization options (ill take the create an arena back in todays games, even if it is shallow). But without the engine changes, and some REALLY stupid weapons (Vince's Bedpan?!)i would have still taken Revenge.
Then WM 2000 came out and that was just it for me.

create an arena was an awesome feature, they should seriously bring it back.

Another cool thing about Thunder was the fans would actually throw trash in the ring if you were a heel.

Thunder was the only game I've ever bought and returned the next day. And how the hell did Shiavonne call his own match in that video up there?

I remember loving WCW Nitro.
I'll gotta go with WWF Warzone or Attitude, though. Boy, did those controls suck. Then they go and use the same engine for the ECW games. Though there were lava matches in those, so I'll forgive them.

Ah, I see. I made the mistake of finally buying/playing it like 6 years ago during my "jaded teen" period  |

No. They threw trash into the ring because they were ashamed to be a part of that pixelated debacle of a wrestling game. WCW Thunder was an abysmal game. It had the lasting appeal of a total of 12 minutes. After you realized that it was just an even more ridiculous version of WCW Nitro, the game was pretty much in the trash can. |

wcw nitro, since the only move you can do is a powerbomb "its the powerbomb" got really annoying I agree that is the worst wrestling game ever. However, I didn't know you could do that power bomb. |
