World Wrestling Championship was a game only released in PAL regions for the Playstation 2 console. Players have a staggering 4 moves to choose from, wrestlers can't run, go for submission moves, pin, there's no entrances, no special moves, only 6 characters are available for selection and every wrestler plays the same. Published by some jokers known as Phoenix Games, WWC: World Wrestling Championship is the WORST wrestling game you've never played.
This video looks at WWC for PS2 while also exploring some of the other games released by Phoenix.

Lol, but even David Flair was too good for this game.

[@joelma1109]

More like Eric watts or Brooke hogan lol

[@ZionKraze]

[@BOABModels]

These were made for well-meaning grandparents who really wanted to buy that 'World Wrestling' game for little Tomy's 10th birthday. Just like those mockbuster DVDs like 'Transmorphers' or 'The Da Vinci Treasure'

[@thisisnotachannel]

There's a channel on Pluto TV... I think it's called "Cult Films"... it's a movie channel. They play those types of films on a regular rotation... "Transmorphers" is one of the most prevalent.

[@craftybutcher215]

Okbut some of those films are legit great. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes is a fuckin work of art. Transmorphers is also actually quite fun in a dumb way.

So someone basically made a video game of the brawl for all

[@Zhortac]

I like how this went from The Worst Wrestling Game ever made, to possibly the worst game publisher ever

[@psychotheunsane7285]

I'd have to agree with you. Sure there have been some absolute stinkers from other publishers (even Nintendo!), but these games that were shown in this KZbin video make E.T.: the Extra-Terrestrial for the Atari 2600 look like NES' Super Mario Bros. 3 (widely considered one of the best games of all time). That's definitely saying something.

[@jackcarraway4707]

David Flair: The Videogame

[@jaynizz582]

XD

[@MrBeardsley]

Snow White and the Seven Clever Boys is a perfect example of how stupid the video game collectors market is. Value is based entirely on rarity, the rarest titles are the ones nobody bought, and for the most part the reason nobody bought ‘em is they sucked on toast. For example one of my local vintage toy stores just got a graded copy of some lousy NES GI Joe game (Secrets of Serpent Mountain or something), it’s valued at $1500. Absolute madness.

[@MarquisLeary34]

A great argument AGAINST the notion that the free market knows best.

[@MrBeardsley]

@@MarquisLeary34Graded games are the dumbest. They’re worth the most to collectors, but they’re in sealed plastic boxes you can’t open or else they’ll instantly lose like 80% of their value.

[@MBM1117727]

The only with that is that some rich people are willing to pay that much just because it's rare. They'll probably never even play it.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Can't believe PlayStation let this Atrocities happen on their PS2.

[@robbyrobot3303]

There were only two NES GI JOE games, GI JOE AND GI JOE: Atlantis Factor. Both are alright, but yea graded games are an insane market

[@gamejerk147]

Wish this would qualify for Matt McMuscles WORST FIGHTING GAME series, would take the crown easily

[@labbaby189]

[@LongLiveRockAnRoll]

This game ranks very low on the Meng Manly Meter.

[@sloppycabi]

I was about to say naming the player Ed Leslie is probably what broke the game.

[@LuisHGarcia]

The only "good" thing I can say about WWC is one of the grabs being a Ganso Bomb. Someone on the development team must have been a 90s AJPW fan.
