This was the first game in my favorite series of wrestling games.

My friends and I would play this all night on our terrible clear plastic controllers.

I really miss that era of wrestling. Despite all of the problems, it was an era of comedic gold. I think there was a skit where the red nwo guys pretended to be the four horsemen and it was my favorite thing ever.

Anywho, the reason I loved these games was the mechanics. Instead of code-based input, it had simplified controls for grappling vs striking with soft/long press variations. This allowed newbs to be able to do moves and vets to really put together a show.

    Man one of my few regrets in life is giving my N64 away when I was heading into boot camp. Sure I was giving it to someone that would use it, but I miss it.
