'WWF Attitude' RETROSPECTIVE - Triangle X Squared O.

Over the last several years, I’ve covered just about every Acclaim wrestling game there is to cover, at least when it comes to PlayStation. WWF War Zone, both ECW Hardcore Revolution and its sequel Anarchy Rulz, onto Showdown: Legends Of Wrestling. I created a bit of a problem for myself in that, I jumped all over the place, I didn’t produce these retrospectives in order. So now here we are in 2024, and I’ve stil got one more on the list. Today, we finally knock it out. One year after the release of WWF War Zone, the sequel would arrive. WWF Attitude promised more wrestlers, more action and more, well... ATTITUDE. Today, we’re gonna go all in. Get it?

[@Realistic316]

as far as the Jerry Lawler quote, i think it’s because in late 1997 early 1998 he ALWAYS made fun of Taka Michinokou… his son was in a feud with Taka, so we’d always get a Japan joke

[@ShawnSandiego]

THIS! Also it makes no sense, as we know by now, that Japan has an awful birth rate which leads to a problematic over-aging society. Sounds rather like that description of Lawler was more fitting for China. But overall, I believe this indeed the correct explanation for that weird quote.

[@bobzegler]

I think it’s also just a joke on how statistics are phrased. The stat says “a woman gives birth,” Lawler is making a joke that it’s just one woman giving birth every 4 seconds.

[@thisisnotachannel]

That, and Jerry Lawler is FIERCELY against overpopulation! 😝

[@thisisnotachannel]

@@bobzegler I think the end of the punchline ended up going over many people's heads here... but I think it's the funniest part! "I'm gonna find her, and put a stop to it!"

[@Realistic316]

@@thisisnotachannel yes lol

[@86tjfender]

As a teen, this was my most played wrestling game, by far. It was delayed all summer and when it came out in august here in Canada I lost my god damn mind. I played the ENTIRE career mode with Kane then again with Austin. Say what you want about this game but WWF Attitude is the pure definition of nostalgia for me 🤘🏻❤️ thanks for the episode Ian

[@peaceandwealthseeker4504]

Very similar here

[@stickboy8219]

Same this and warzone

[@christophernicholson20]

I agree. This game was pretty hilarious and funny too 😂😂😂😂They had those grunts and noises pretty much the same like in War Zone but the best part about this game was the pre game pre match trash talking before the matches start lol

[@WAZOWSKI_58]

I grew out of wrestling by my teens. But when i was a kid, Mine was Smackdown 2: Know your role. We rented it from the Video Store and kept it because we loved it so much 😂😂. Followed by a close 2nd WCW vs NWO Revenge

[@UncomfortableShoes]

Same. This game had one match type I’ve always wanted in other games and that was the 4 v4v4v4 match where hitting your finisher on someone eliminated them. Super fun. Also there was an exploit with HBK where I could hit people with sweet chin music even if their health wasn’t red, I just launched the kick into a crowd and the person who caught it got eliminated. Lol

[@rodrigoaraya7553]

I jumped from wwf raw on genesis to attitude on the ps1, and I was blown away by the entrances and graphics…I still have a soft spot for the game, no matter what people say 😢

[@KingBrahma-xw6mt]

I loved WWF Raw which was the 1st time Luna Vachon made her video game appearance

[@Feralwolf444]

I know Attitude wasn't considered a good game, but when I got it after only having WCW Nitro for my new PSX, it was the greatest wrestling game I ever played! This game has so much sentimental value to me. I had over 100 CAWs on numerous memory cards. Perhaps the most bizarre thing about this game, that 616 oddly omitted, is one of the unlockable characters.... Head. As in Al Snow's mannequin head prop. It was a floating head with gloves and boots on an invisible torso with dialogue voiced by Al himself in a falsetto voice. Bonus fun fact: When the game was delayed to remove the Blue Blazer character, three OTHER characters were also removed and replaced with new ones; Nation of Domination member, Kama Mustafa, was replaced with his then brand new gimmick, Godfather. The Kama model was made into an alt attire for him. Also removed were Tiger Ali Singh (Sent to developmental-) and Steven Regal (Fired due to severe addiction issues.). They were replaced by the returning Big Boss Man and the debuting Christian.

[@TheViper4Life]

It's not a good game, but I'd much rather play WarZone or Attitude than Nitro or Thunder lol

[@5Trojin]

Thank you for the info & doing his research for him

[@michaelsoto8490]

I feel your pain I grew up with Warzone on PS1 and Nitro on my N64...I loved them at the time but then I found Smackdown at Target one day and begged my mom. That's the day my life changed lol unfortunately I didn't even touch an AKI game until after I played the first Smackdown.

[@bMt5553]

The Head thing sounds creepy, or at the very least pretty weird.

[@Y0gi4]

By far my most anticipated wrestling game as a child. Loved it at the time for what it was.

[@PheonixFire]

"I love you player 1!" My best friend and i still randomly quote this to this day.

[@alexfurtado7254]

This was the first wrestling game i ever played and was one of the reasons why as a kid I was huge fan of Kane and Undertaker. Didn’t think it could get any better until I played Smackdown 2: Know Your Role on the ps1.

[@YourFunkLord]

I have both War Zone and Attitude and still enjoy playing both. They're just so damn funny and fun.

[@sebastiannock942]

My main gripe with Warzone is not being able to pick your opponent

[@joelramnarine]

​@@sebastiannock942that's true I always wonder why they did that

[@FretzlemaniaPod]

I put so much time into Attitude as a teen. It does not hold up but the memories of playing this in my cousins basement have a special place in my heart.

[@proZach380]

I too played wrestling games in my cousin's basement...what an oddly universal experience

[@BrainbusterLeckie]

The Lawler joke is that it's just one Woman giving birth to babies every 4 seconds. So he's saying he's going to go and put a stop to her pumping out too many kids. It's a pretty funny joke, but it's utterly baffling why they had him shout it before a match. 😅

[@616Entertainment]

That’s not a joke. It’s like being ready to go to war and someone asks how you’re feeling and you say “Man there’s a gas station selling gas for $.25 a gallon. I’m gonna get over there and tell them to knock it off!” Where’s the joke? Hahahaha

[@UncomfortableShoes]

@@616EntertainmentI mean. The joke is that he thinks it’s the same woman giving birth every 4 seconds not that different women are having babies. It’s like saying my father said he gets laid every night even when my mom is out of town, he must be spending a fortune on gas. The person telling the joke and their warped logic is meant to be laughed at. The dad is saying he’s cheating on the mom, but the child thinks the dad means he’s finding the mom and fucking her. Really dumb before a match though.

I have so much nostalgia for both War Zone and Attitude. Sitting in my Uncle Ed's living room playing until 3 in the morning. Regardless of the game play as a kid, playing as your favorite wrestlers was life.

[@megamarsonic]

Can’t wait for that Day of Reckoning retrospective. The two DoR games are awesome. Heads up: if you plan on looking at Day of Reckoning 2 in the future, pick the RAW brand in DoR1. Outside of the wrestlers used, the RAW and Smackdown! storylines are nearly identical but DoR2’s story mode assumes you chose the RAW brand.

[@derrickhaggard]

Yes play the RAW storyline for DoR1 as DoR2's storyline assumes you went to RAW in DoR. And these games are awesome.

[@ryanholladaymusic8514]

New retrospectives on old games? Yes please! I love the History of Smackdown! But you've come a long way and really found your voice on this channel since then. The retrospectives have only gotten better. So I'd be all in on that for sure!

[@funkyweapon9741]

I started with Warzone so I definitely enjoyed attitude. Smackdown definitely blew it out the water when it came out but this was still fun when it came out.

[@TheSpectreWithin]

Attitude was the first WWF game I ever had, and I have fond memories of playing it. However, once I got Smackdown and the N64 WWF games, I never returned to this one.

[@Horcrux_maker]

I remember when you unlock kurrgan in career mode you also unlocked ICP's facepaint for caw's, teenage juggalo me marked out big time

[@infinite_vortex]

Here is the most fun I've EVER had laughing with wrestling games: on the PS1, stable match: 1 min time limit, KO on. One punch would eliminate someone. That person will leave the ring. You can do a splash over the top rop onto them, as they are running towards the ramp. You'l go flying! Then, go up to the ramp. Start punching and kicking. You will hear the next person already start making sounds, sometimes sweat appears out of nowhere. When the timer is up, all the computer AI is so confused- sometimes doing moves to invisible people! The winner screen can sometimes be confused as well- people still in the ring, you having the ability to move around still, music not playing etc. Hilarious!

[@DiabolikalRA]

I used to rent this game and loved it. Was the best experience until I finally bought myself smackdown. Lots of fond memories

[@CoffeeNToys]

I managed to get beta copy of this game (seriously I don't remember how) but my friend and I played the crap out of that beta until the release version came out. Man, we were SO excited for this game! Full entrances, themes, specialty matches, it had it all at the time!

[@christophernicholson20]

Yeah I remember spending a lot of time in the create a wrestler menu selection listening to those banging tracks and songs 😂😂😂😂. Some pretty interesting theme songs that you could give your created wrestler

[@Y2Jerms]

[@Artsensei86]

The kings comments and your reaction make this video god tier

[@Ron322]

I actually enjoyed Attitude WAY MORE than War Zone! Creating my character, actually modifying the inputs so that doing my moves could be faster an easier -- essentially circumventing the usual awkward input style thatWar Zone cursed us with.

[@M1BIGIEMAC]

Today is the most attention this game has gotten since 1999 lol. This TXSO Retrospective and nL's Daily Rumble

[@firewalker1372]

🤣 man I loved this game. Especially since I was a huge PlayStation fan at the time. Yeah, all the buttons you had to push just to pull off a move was annoying. But when I pulled off that stunner, I was hooked.

[@DementedDistraction]

I remember my brothers and I being really excited for this game as we were huge WWF fans and played War Zone rather extensively. Attitude really was just a bigger, bloated version of War Zone...although the 3D novelty had worn thin, and the presentation wasn't enough to make the core game play shine, as by that point it had aged like milk. We still had fun with it despite its shortcomings, though our overall experience with it wound up boiling down to making countless create-a-wrestlers just because that mode proved to be more fun than the game itself. The Attitude intro cinematic still slaps, though. And now that you mention the Hardys...watching the wrestlers go from laying prone to standing up, you can definitely see Matt Hardy and his bow-legged movement in that animation.

[@renatop2610]

Thank you for this retrospective! Attitude was the first wrestling game I ever owned and I have very fond memories of it. Even though it doesn't hold up well today, it was still tons of fun back then and I appreciated the large roster, arena customization, variety of match types, commentary and the weird pre-match promos. All this stuff was novelty back then. I was jealous of the kids that owned Revenge or Wrestlemania 2000, but I still was having a blast with Attitude. Stable matches were fun AF. I remember doing DX vs Ministry vs the Nation vs Randoms. They were a blast. Also to point out, I think this is one of the very few games where Kane's tombstone pin animation is correct (he extends his opponent's arms, rather than cross them after performing the move). Great job as always Ian. Much love and respect.

[@alec2000]

This was a fantastic retrospective, Ian😁. While I may not have liked this game or any of the Acclaim games due to me playing all of the better wrestling games first that had no MK style codes for moves and that, I still appreciate what Acclaim was trying to do with their titles. It may not have worked for everyone, but for those who legit liked these games and have nostalgia for them, more power to you all👍. Awesome stuff Ian, and now I’m BEYOND excited and happy you’re FINALLY gonna cover WWE Day of Reckoning🥹. I love that game and its sequel to the bottom of my heart, and I can’t wait to hear what you think of it. Great start to 2024 man, and I can’t wait for all your content this year. I love you and all the DanDans so much, and I hope y’all have a great weekend.😊❤️

[@thisisnotachannel]

Funny enough, this is my most recent wrestling game purchase. I owned it when it came out for my PS1, but it was a loan out to a friend which I never recovered... not to mention the decades long list of games I have to catch up on... and "WWF Attitude" was high on said list. Just got it for my Dreamcast last year from Ebay. I mastered Mortal Kombat early on, so I was ALL IN on memorizing the button combos for the wrestlers moves back when I first owned it. I even still remembered some when I got my new copy! Crucifix Powerbomb (Razor's Edge): Left, Right, Up, X. And uh.... Lawler is strongly against overpopulation. Anyway, great episode dude. Been waiting for you to cover the zaniness that is "WWF Attitude"! Was just about to mention the removal of the Owen tribute... was the first thing I noticed. R.I.P. Owen Hart.

[@Victor3745]

7:12 that first song just brought back so many memories lol even as a kid I thought the music was so strange

[@gameshock2916]

WWF Attitude, a good final WWF game from Acclaim was being overshadowed by THQ's first good WWF video game, WWF WrestleMania 2000, a mere 5 months later.

[@DBoy38]

Makes sense to not feature the hardys as playable characters: the game focus on the period of late '98 to early '99, the Hardys only started to be pushed after Wrestlemania XV, with their first RAW televised match happening in May '99, before that they were working Shotgun and HeAT and the the game itself was released in July.

[@brockst9190]

Played this so much as a kid! Man brings back great memories. Great video brotha!

[@devious187]

This was the game us PlayStation kids SWORE was as good as our Nintendo friends' WCW games... we were lying to our friends and ourselves! Great work as always, I just love these retrospectives

[@joseortega7815]

Yes, Attitude was super boring. But here's what really sparks up my nostalgia: We lived in Houston at the time, and my cousins had a PS1. On top of having WWF Attitude, we would pop in WWF The Music Vol. 3 and do the wrestler entrances. We would get together to watch RAW, Heat, and Shotgun. That was also the time when I was picking up Bone Crunchers and BendEm's left and right. My buddy at the apartments had a bunch of Bone Crunchers, too, so we'd hang out sometimes and make our own House Shows or Royal Rumbles with our figs. It was a time where the Attitude Era was in full effect. So, yes, while the game was awful, it was still part of a grand era in pro wrestling.

[@rdpruett88]

I've only played the N64 version of WWF Attitude from rental store. Never got too deep into it aside from me and my brothers having three on one hardcore matches

[@echosidefiend]

I absolutely loved both War Zone and Attitude...at the time. War Zone was the first next gen console wrestling game I played so there's definitely some nostalgia there for me. And Attitude, being technically the sequel to War Zone, was very endearing to me, as well. Me and a buddy of mine played the hell out of Attitude and finished it completely, as far as I'm aware, too. Another thing I loved about Attitude was that, myself being a Juggalo, you could make Insane Clown Posse in Create A Wrestler. Both Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope's face paint were featured in there, only they were both purple base with the black instead of white base with black. So if you selected either of them, you could just turn the purple base to white and voila, you had ICP's face paint! And their song 'The Greatest Show', which The Oddities used as entrance music, was also available to use so you could even have your ICP characters come to the ring to their own song! That was so cool! Yeah, the games didn't age well, but both still hold a lot of fond memories for me, especially Attitude.

[@Feralwolf444]

The Oddities stable was hardly being used and just starting to disband when the game came out. Kurrgan was the only member who made the cut (Sable had left the group by then). I think they couldn't use Golga due to not being able to use the Cartman character. Kai-en-Tai suffered a similar fate with only TAKA making it in, and then only to represent the light-heavyweight division.

[@matt_shaboy]

Thank you for covering the insane songs in the create a wrestler mode 😂. That secret agent song *still* lives in my head rent free

[@themattwheels]

So glad youre covering this! I loved this game as a kid! Played the hell out of it. I even picked up a copy around 2020 for PS1 (I had only ever played for n64 and never had a save pack) and was pumped to finally use the whole roster eventually. Finished through the first leg of career mode, turned it off. Came back the next day, the wrestlers I unlocked? Vanished. My career progress? Somehow still there. Just the thought of playing through that long ass career mode, only to lose everything I unlocked the moment I shut the game off, I haven't touched it since.😅

[@ChimpHazard]

5:43 I think the joke here is that Jerry Lawler misunderstood the trivia about Japan thinking “A woman gives birth to a baby every 4 seconds” means one woman instead of a general statement about Japan’s population. The joke isn’t funny, but I think I get it.

[@kingaurelian]

I came here to try and explain this, with the risk of making the joke even less funny, so thanks!

[@tomgrasso4818]

When they had Triple H do the DX mic crowd work in the entrance, along with Road Dogg with his mic work for his theme, I was blown away as a kid. This game was everything to me when it came out, I couldn’t believe what I was playing. Looking back, I can’t believe the control scheme to pull of moves and finishers but hey it was great at the time

[@deroistewart2548]

[@Shawn_A106]

I preferred Attitude to War Zone mostly for one specific reason that doesn't really apply anymore but it did back then: having the majority of the current roster at the time's themes in CD quality. As a huge wrestling theme nerd, I would literally just turn the game on to sit in the CAW section listening to themes lol

At the time, this was a great game to me. Yea, it didn't change to much gameplay wise from War Zone, but if it ain't broke don't fix it if you ask me. I really had a lot of fun with the Create-A-Wrestler mode. I made myself and my family and would crack up when I played all CPU match and watch as I threw my mom around, lol. It was a good time. But like War Zone and the ECW games, this didn't age well these days and with the modern wrestling games, it's hard to go back to it. But I still have a nostalgic soft spot for it.

[@eddiespuhghetti5355]

Attitude will always have a special place in my gaming history as I spent many many hours playing the crap outta a used N64 copy that I got from my local Rogers Video. The awkward controls really impact what could have been something similar to the early Smackdown games, in particular with what has more recently been found through unused audio samples (scrapped things like more types of weapons, announcers table, and I could have sworn I saw some type of code indicating Hell In A Cell was considered at one point). Weird is absolutely the term to describe this game: I once was in a cage match trying to irish whip someone into the cage near the corner. This sounds crazy but the animation that played out was this smooth grabbing of the head and bashing it into the cage. Never have been able to replicate it, but it absolutely did happen.

[@grims4ever]

It was fun back in the day. But the controls are a pain in the ass. It just collects dust anymore.

I kind of have a soft spot for Attitude (as well as Warzone and the ECW games), as my clique played these games forever until we encountered SmackDown! 2. Attitude's giant roster was amazing. The creative suite blew our minds. Many of the custom themes are still embedded deeply in my memory (and music playlist). Sometimes I would just boot up the game and have the themes play while doing my homework. Also, this game is where my love for "finisher matches" started. Something that still keeps going to this day and WWE 2K23.

My brother and I rented this game and played 10 minutes of it. Then returned it the same day.

Omg playing the CAW music just unlocked a memory. The first person I created was a dominatrix named Miss B Having haha

This was the game i played most with my cousin growing up before Wrestlemania 2000 hit. Even when i started collecting for the N64 I had to get this game. It's one of those games its bad but good. Looking back at it today seeing the way you "bleed" from the most random parts of your body still kills me but still enjoyable to me in that fun classic cheesy way.

[@christophernicholson20]

Yeah I remember that and I think you could turn off the blood setting in the options menu

As a kid I called funcoland every week up until the release date.This game was pure comedy from the wonky animations to the voiceovers for the time it was a solid game.I found the most enjoyment cracking up playing this game with friends .

This game along with WWF War Zone is what started my severe anger issues growing up playing this on a Project64 emulator and i would remember yelling and punching my TV screen like crazy whenever the crowd booed me for doing a move too much, my moves wouldn't work because of the crappy controls or the AI kept blocking my moves. This game was the reason why i switched to Smackdown 1 and 2 and even WWE 2K19 because i was so sick of the crowd booing me constantly in Attitude for no reason when you left the ring or did the same move too much. Definitely the reason why i hated this game growing up, lol.

After playing the crap out of Warzone I was out banging on the KB Toys door with my money for this game. Sadly my enthusiasm died out pretty quick…not as quick as Nitro.

[@bobroberts5872]

Thanks for making this video, Ian. I loved this game as a kid when it came out

[@616Entertainment]

We all did, we do what we can with what we have at the time, hahaha

[@RaDicAL808]

Omg my 8th grade self just got excited about this one. I got this back in 1999, and couldn’t wait to play as X-PAC. Lol oh and “IM THE GUVNA, BABY!”

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

Actually, one of the CAW character voice over actors in Attitude actually provided the voice for Eddy in the Cartoon Network cartoon _Ed Edd 'n Eddy_ during the "Cartoon Cartoons" era.

[@MR.__G]

This is not the game I wanted for Christmas (I wanted WM 2000) but best believe I still played the hell out of attitude lol

[@crazyhatchetlife]

I will always remember this was the first game you can legitimately play as ICP since they were able to be made in the CAW

[@johnmeehan6444]

You 100% need to do a warzone play through of that TV gauntlet mode. I’d love to watch it.

[@alexthelizardking]

The sound design of these games were amazing. The dialogue of the wrestlers and the jeering of the crowd have stuck with me.

[@rodneyfox3427]

When can we expect the day of reckoning retrospect?
