The realization that wrestling is just an action movie preformed live, like a play, gave me a new appreciation for the spectacle of it all.

[@nicholaslienandjaja1815]

Also, fun fact: WWF later got renamed into WWE because the World Wildlife Fund for Nature (the other WWF) threatened to sue them for sharing the same acronym. Reminds me of a parody T-shirt I once saw that features the WWF logo with two pandas fighting each other (one of them was holding a folding chair).

It’s the best explanation of it.

I’m confused by his not recognizing any of the people. All but two for sure were in WWF in the 80s and 90s. Possibly the last one too. Unsure who the bottom right one is. But it’s Dustin Rhodes (Goldust), Vader, Rick Rhoode, Ric Flair, Johnny B Badd (Marc Mero), Rick Steiner, Sting, Brian Pilman, Scott Steiner, Ron Simmons (Farooq), Ricky Steamboat, and I’m unsure who the last one is.

I blame canada

[@michelvanbriemen3459]

I blame his children. Parenting while rewarding is strong bads for the stress hams.

[@makihara3713]

But James uses LJN's copyrighted material in his video with no permit and makes money off of KZbin so he should be thankful to LJN. Just as HAPPY SOFT used Jackie Chan's copyrighted images with no permit for their game lol

I was gonna ask if it was the lighting

Not that anyone could possibly care, but the wrestlers on the WCW SuperBrawl menu were in order: Dustin Rhodes, Vader, Ravishing Rick Rude, Ric Flair, Johnny B. Badd, Rick Steiner, Sting, Flyin' Brian Pillman, Scott Steiner, Ron Simmons, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, and Barry Windham. And yes, it is sad that I automatically knew all this after a couple seconds of staring at the screen. Been a huge wrestling nerd since I was a small child. Will agree that even with that knowledge, the menu still sucks ass as the casual fan/gamer won't know who the fuck anyone is.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

i care actually, thanks for the info, i didnt recognize some of those guys.

[@MudkipzUlike]

Haha, no problem. Just a bit of info from one nerd to another.

[@russv.winkle8764]

Thanks man, it was a great roster BTW.

[@TheDarkFable]

Even seeing your list I literally only know of Ric Flair

[@RoyStantz]

By the time that game came out in November/December 1994, Rude, Windham, Simmons, Steamboat, and the Steiners weren't in WCW.

Fun Fact: LJN's contract with the World Wrestling Federation is why Sgt. Slaughter left the company in the mid-80s. He wasn't allowed to be an LJN WWF figure and a Hasbro G.I. Joe figure at the same time. The company brought him back in 1990 when they signed a toy contract with Hasbro. LJN still produced the video games.

[@WisecrackJax]

WCW vs. NWO for the N64 was a fantastic wrestling game.

The internet is big so it's a surprise when you see someone twice on two completely different videos

[@TriteNight1218]

Raw was actually the best wrestling game on SNES if you were a wrestling fan. The grappling system allowed you to do a bunch of moves, and all of the character’s special moves were included.

[@sebanj222]

I totally agree. You could also climb the ropes, slam a chair on your opponents head and lots of other stuff.

dannyboi451 it is. The Brothers Chaps are old school gamers

[@dannyboi451]

I'm talking about the creators of strong bad emails

[@drewping2002]

WCW/NWO Revenge and WWF WrestleMania 2000 were the absolute best, at least in my opinion.

[@MixedMartialOtaku]
