I thought the old one looked to gettoh. If you liked the old one better tell, but if you want to compare the two. The old one is at the bottom of the faq. Contents ======== 1. Frequently Asked Questions 2. Summary of Modes 3. Codes 4. Character List 5. Basic Moves 6. Signature Move List 7. Signature Moves Rating 8. Random Stuff 1. Frequently Asked Questions Why does the Battle Royal mode play so slow? It is because the system has alot of things its trying to do at once. There is a way to fix it though. Use the secret ring select code to select the Turbo ring. Start the Battle Royal and it will play at normal speed. Why do none of the hidden characters have their real life finishers? THQ simply ran out of memory. The only wrestlers that have their finishers are Dean Malenko, and Chris Benoit. Why is there no FMV like PSX version? Again THQ didn't have the memory left for it. 2. Summary of Modes 1P Tournament- You fight for the WcW Heavyweight Chapionship belt. This is the mode you use to unlock the hidden characters. 1P Exhibition- Fight a single match. 1P Tag Team- An exhibition tag team match. 2P Vs.- Fight your friend to find out who is the best. 2P Tag Team- Face you friend in an exhibition tag match. Battle Royal- Free for all. 30 men total. Throw your opponent over the top rope to eliminate them. 3. Codes Secret Rings- In the options menu, act like you are selecting a ring regularly, but instead of pressing left and right enter: C>,R,C>,R,Z. You will then here Macho Man, and the ring will change. Now use Z to cycle through all the rings. Big Head Mode- In the options screen, enter C>,C>,C>,C>,C>,C>,C>,R,Z. You'll hear a sound to confirm it. Swelling Head Mode- In the options menu screen enter: C<,C<, C<,C<,C<,C<,C<,L,Z. You will hear a sound to confirm it. Big Heads, Hands, and Feet- In the options menu screen enter: R,R,R, R,R,R,R,C>,Z. Giant Head Mode- In the options menu enter: C>,C>,C>,C>,C<,C>,C<,C>,Z. Instant Win- In the character select screen, enter: C<,C>,L,R,Z. Depending on what character you had highlighted you will get one of the hidden wrestlers. 4. Character List Ex. If you beat the Tournament mode with Hollywood Hogan, you will get Brian Adams, if you beat it with Brian Adams, you will get Eddy Guerrero, and if you beat it with Guerrero, you will get Eric Bischoff.

Signature Moves Rating Hollywood Hogon- Horrible move. Even though its his finsiher they seem to always to pop up from it. Stick with regular moves to win matches with him. Bret Hart- The Sharpshooter,(just like any other finshing hold in the game), when slaped on, you are guarrentied a win. It also looks pretty damn cool. Sting- Just like the sharpshooter, but Sting has better moves than Bret. Use the Death Drop to set them up for the Death Lock Lex Lugar- Sexy Lexy, or what ever the women are calling him, is the most useless character in this game. Giant- It looks very damaging, but(I don't know if its the way I play or what) I have had people kick out of it. DDP- I also have had people kick out of this move. Also sometimes the opponent will always land near the ropes. Raven- He's damn cool in real life, but this move(for me at least) is hard as hell to pull of. When I get it to work I always get a pin. Saturn- Easy to pull, damaging, and they haven't kicked out of it yet. Nuff said Goldberg- Use the Jackhammer and you win. Its that simple. Kevin Nash- Big man, if you watch wrestling, when you see him pull his powerbomb in this game you can't help but laugh. Even it looks nothing like real life, its very damaging. Scott Hall- Good, realistic looking move. If your not carefull you will throw them under the ropes. To make sure this doesn't happen put your back into the corner then execute the move. Curt Hennig- Good move, but it doesn't pin instantly like he does in real life. Be sure to adjust for the fact that they easily could me thrown under the ropes. Macho Man- Good move, but if you want it to look life-like, you won't like it. Because move of the times when it connects when they are on the ground they pop up. If you hurry you could make it look real. Rick Steiner- Where the hell is the bulldog? This move is just a freakin Spear, you can't finish anyone with that. But in this game it get the job done. Scott Steiner- Its a submission finisher so its easy to do. But with the Nitro graphics engine it looks pretty retarded. Chris Jericho- Finally he is in a game. Lion Tamer is a good looking submission hold. Thats really it. Brian Adams- Damaging move most of the time gets the pin. I don't know what his real finisher is, if someone knows please tell me. B. Bulldog- Good move, same results as Saturn. Would have liked to have seen a powerslam at least. Booker T- Same results as Saturn. Dean Malenko- Looks good and its a submission. Simple isn't it. Wrath- Where the hell is the Meltdown, thats got to be the coolest move ever.(Besides the Jackhammer). Beat Down is a really boring move, but it finsihes them thoush Ultimo Dragon- Steiner Recliner, looks crappy, but wins the match. Kidman- This is the guy that pissed me off. I can't belive that they didn't use the shooting star press. DDT is a good finisher in its own right though. Disciple- Instead of this move being a Stunner the decided to use the Diamond Cutter instead. For some reason no one has kicked out of this version of it. Chris Benoit- Cool looking submission. The only thing about it is the you don't do it to the opponent when they are on the ground , you do it when you are standing up. I quess the made it that way so it looked real. Scott Norton- Why didn't they give him Nash's move. How hard would that have been. Beat Down is boring but once again gets the job done. Konnan- Lion Tamer instead of the Tequila Sunrise, how crappy is that? Jim Neidhart- Another person with a spear? Does anyone know what this dude's real move is? Roddy Piper- Crippler Crossface wannabe? Still it looks cool, and its a submission hold. Buff Bagwell- Does a Hennig Plex, and it has the same results. I really wish they had the Blockbuster in this game, because if any of you have seen it on PSX, its an awesome move. Kanyon- Who's better than Kanyon? Everybody! I don't get why the people over at THQ decided to give him the Edge. See Hall's description for details. Alex Wright- In realy life the German Suplex is not good enough for a finisher, but in this game it get the job done. I have had people kick out of this move before though. Eddy Guerrero- The same problems that plaqued the other wrestlers with top turnbuckle moves, affect Uncle Eddy. But this move is very powerfull. Van Hammer- Same as the other people with the Beat Down. Stevie Ray- That Beat Down move is getting on my nerves. Scotty Riggs- Cloverleaf, Texas style. Thats really it. Horace- See Da Man's description. Rey Mysterio Jr- After Goldberg, and Sting, little Rey(In my opinion) has to be the best wrestler in this game. See Curt Hennig. Lodi- I think only a couple people have noticed the joke that is being played on us, that is Lodi. He is a Billy Idol wannabe. Has any seriously looked at what Idol is spelled backwards. Sick Boy- Spear. Nuff said. Disco Inferno- Where the hell is his Chartbuster. The DDT will do. Its just as hard to pull of as Raven's though. Ernest Miller- If this man is the greatest, why does he have to steal Chris Jericho's move? Barbarian- This guy is a bigger retard than the Giant. See Alex Wright for move description. Meng- Barbarian and Giant where stupid, but Meng is the cream of the retard crop. He is one of the thousands of wrestlers in this game with the Beat Down. Fit Finley- See Saturn. Reese- This guys moves are the Giant, and Nash put together. Chave Guerrero- At least THQ got smart and gave him a DDT, instead of the Beat Down just because they couldn't make his move. La Parka- La Porka. See Goldberg Eric Bischoff- Eric Jerkoff. See Macho Man. Gene Okerlund- See Lex Lugar. It is kind of sad, because I would rather play as Mean Gene than Lex Lugar. Miss Elizabeth- After Kimberly, this has to be the hotest woman is WcW. See Macho Man. Arn Anderson- A very good wrestler, even though the DDT is so hard to pull off. Bobby Heenan- Its cool to see that THQ didn't waste syxx's Buzzkiller animation. Kimberly- If you saw this woman naked you would know what everyone is fussing about. They should have given her the Diamon Cutter. Larry Zbysko- Crippler Crossface, what more is there to say. Sonny Onoo- I hate this guy. In real life and on this game. But if you have to play as him, the Frog Slash is only as good as Eddy's, its no better. Steve McMichael- This guy suckes, but the German Suplex gets the job done. Kaz Hayashi- Sharpshooter in hand Kaz, not only has a stupid name but he can't even get his own ring entrance. Jimmy Hart- Mouth from the South, is even more annoying to play as than he is to listen to. Rick Rude- For obvious resons he does the Hennig Plex. See Hennig. Mike Enos- Why are the wasting memory with this jobber. See Saturn. Psychosis- He is another waste of memory considering his finsiher is just a regular move in this game. Juvi Guerrera- Buzzkiller instead of the 450. It just doesn't seem like a fair trade to me. Rick Fuller- Yet another jobber wasting memory. And to add insult to injury his move is Beat Down. 8.
