3:45 Austin did this at Judgment Day 1998 when he was forced to be the special ref in the world title match between Undertaker and Kane. Even though Austin didn't pin one of them, once both men were knocked out Austin slapped the mat three times and declared himself the winner....then Vince came out and fired him lol

[@beanomac3126]

Peak Attitude. 😂

[@cooltaylor1015]

I knew about the "needing to have tried to pin your opponent previously before it'll work" thing in Revenge. But I didn't know it needed to be twice. This has actually won me a few matches against human opponents who didn't know. We always disallow using the stick to break pins and subs as a house rule, DQ if your caught. Sometimes, let them do it all they want as a handicap, or for a rule variety Sometimes, it's allowed once, or some other limited amount of times.

Great secrets The guest referee no contest and the mask rip I never knew of

[@supersasukemaniac]

I knew about the mask rip. I did it on accident against Han Zo Mon Ilin WCW/nWo Revenge. I put him in a face lock a few times, then suddenly the front of his mask tore away after like the 5th facelock.

Note: this Mod supersedes my 2x and 3x Damage Mods, Deathmatch 10 Minute Timer Mod, and the Hot Tag Mod ... please don't use in conjunction with those (they won't work properly). Simply place in the Content\Paks\~mods folder (make sure it has the tilde!). You need to use the Custom Launcher for this mod.

that game looks like shit and is very likely going to end up "borrowing" ideas from the modding community ie they get paid serious money for other people's work that they shamelessly rip off (and poorly)

[@GBTwelveSixteen]

I'm still a fan of using your partner or manager's finisher as a move if you have a special activated, grapple the opponent, press L+R+A+B at the same time, and you do your partner or manager's finisher. Pretty cool way to end a Tornado Tag with both tag team members doing each others' moves.

[@beanomac3126]

@@GBTwelveSixteen didn't know it worked for managers as well! What a sick feature!

[@EliteEasyE]

Iirc In World Tour Eddie and Benoit count as mask wrestlers despite them not being in their Black Tiger and Pegasus Kid gimmicks. So you should be able to do the mask/face paint rip trick.

[@TVindustries5000]

[@Jimbotronics]

I liked that VPW64 introduced wrestler specific reversals, like Dynamite Kid and Tiger Mask cartwheeling out of a spinning headscissors, and Hulk Hogan using the Axe Bomber instead of a regular clothesline when reversing a kick Also I remember there were wrestlers from VPW64 that were removed, but their face textures are still hidden in the game. There was Mr. Pogo, Naoki Sano, Osamu Kido and Kimo hidden, and their attires are still available. Maybe some more I'm forgetting, but I remember seeing it like 12 years ago on an old fire pro forum lol

[@beanomac3126]

I tried looking up both VPW games on the 64 to find beta stuff. I was unsuccessful though sadly.

Eventually you will still tap out to submissions with the control stick trick if you are holding that body part you will instantly give up.

[@yaostevenashariza6026]

What about the doomsday device? Ig it was added since The Steiner brothers were in revenge and the LOD 2000 were supposed to be in WM 2000 u can tell by the face paint in CAW, Not sure its a "Secret" but it can be done in both games. However in No Mercy You can springboard and connect on this move as well not just a top rope clothesline.

[@WTTA]

as for the analog stick for world tour and revenge to tap it to get out of submission and pins attempts YES itll work but eventually it will not at all. It works early on in the match and thru out the duration of the match but once your wrestler is weaked and battered you can smack that analog stick all u want it will not save you from losing

[@joshuaestes1107]

Wraith was Adam Bomb in WWF

I believe Shamrock actually wore kickpads with his name on it. I remember asking that question years ago.

That's correct, he wore them around the time he faced Steve Blackman - img.bleacherreport.net/img/images/photos/002/232/453/sham_crop_north.jpg?1364435217&w=3072&h=2048

[@veryannoying7257]

Wrath's phantom mask data may be from the devs wanted to use his entrance mask and not fully correcting their mistake. Or maybe they wanted Mortis in the game at first?

[@beanomac3126]

That would've add more variety for sure! Didn't know he had an entrance mask though.

[@florianklink2961]

Regarding the opponent kicking out in the first 2 pin attempts, I noticed that on World Tour some years ago. Didn't know Revenge has a similar pin system though.

@@florianklink2961 never really felt it in World Tour. On the higher difficulties they definitely did kick out more though. Same for VPW64

Spin-a-roni was also added to the Wrestlemania XIX (which had some AKI guys on the Yuke's team) You'd get up using it when your adrenaline was flashing red. You could use for other characters.

[@TRJ2241987]

@@beanomac3126 that's just because both Warzone and Attitude went through development hell and released nearly 6 months after they were intended to, but were stuck with the finalized roster. They kept Bret, Bulldog and Ahmed Johnson in Warzone because the developers were fans of those guys and felt it would be a shame to delete them. The Shamrock/No Mercy thing is just plain weird. He was already out of the WWF before WrestleMania 2000 released. At the time I was convinced he would be returning to TV soon but it never happened.
