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.

Phoenix Games. The David Flair of video game developers.

[@matthewrosenthal753]

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

[@joelma1109]

More like Eric watts or Brooke hogan lol

[@ZionKraze]

More like the 1PW of video game developers.

[@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269]

Haa! The opponent in that first match was bumping like David Flair during those "knock down" segments \ animations. 😆👍

[@fishstix6976]

I know, I was surprised my wife told me I was as stiff as david flair waiting to be chopped on the chest. I was very proud

It does stand a decent chance of beating SNES Pit Fighter.

[@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.

I love how you named your guy Ed Leslie. The worst wrestler in the worst wrestling game is fitting. Bravo.

[@labbaby189]

Give this game some credit. At least it won't be wasting space on anyone's shelf.

[@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.

[@DrDoomBloom]

[@Nixkrude79]

U wasn't da only 1😂😂😂😂💯💯

[@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

[@stingersplash]

I actually don't mind the WCW games. They are at least wrestling games.

[@LarsOfTheMohicans]

@@stingersplash to be perfectly honest, WCW Nitro and Thunder aren't that far off from the one in this video. Every character has exact same moves except for their specials, and gameplay is not even that of a wrestling game but some awkward arcade fighter.

[@TheNorthernChris]

You know when the intro music is the ‘Chin Lock’ music you’re in for a treat. Laughed all the way through this.

[@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.

[@MrBeardsley]

13:30 You know you’ve got a certified banger on your hands with lyrics like “This is my song, I’ll sing it now”

[@freddiejohnson6137]

I once seen this and several other of these budgets games on a big cardboard stand in ASDA I think it was at the time proudly advertising the price that was about £19.99 or something really cheap for new games even on the PS2 at the time. As you can guess I just looked at them and shook my head and walked on.
