----------
What's New
----------
- Thanks to Brian Teyssier for 2 small tricks (one I found before and
forgot to include, the other I found out for the first time):
Specials when opponent is hooked on the corner, and spinning around
to a waistlock (Back Grapple) from a collar-elbow tieup (Front
Grapple)
-----------------------
Section 1: Introduction
-----------------------
1.1 What is WCW/nWo Revenge?
============================
Revenge is the 1998 sequel to "WCW vs nWo: World Tour" of 97. Both
games were developed by Asmik in Japan. World Tour was released in the
United States and Canada by THQ Inc. and was LATER released in Japan
under the "Virtual Prowrestling 64" title. Revenge (its sequel) is also
making its debut in North America despite the game's origin.
1.2 What's new in the game since World Tour?
============================================
* Improved Use of Camera Angles
* Wrestler Entrances, some with Pyrotechnics (fireworks, explosions)
-Editor's Note- None of the wrestlers have their real theme music,
the intros use one generic theme for the 1st wrestler and another
for the 2nd, then repeats (ie. 3rd uses theme #1 again, 4th uses
theme #2 again). The only real WCW music in the game is a MIDI
rendition of the Nitro music, which is used during the post-match
replay and Hi Score screens.
* More Realistic Wrestler and Crowd Graphics (everyone is height-
proportioned now, and most of the face textures are almost
flawless. The crowd looks much more WCW now)
* Over 700 frames of animation per wrestler
* Over 300 unique wrestling moves included in the game
* Some wrestlers are now able to perform Multi-Hit Combos
-Editor's Note- This feature being listed can be misleading. This
doesn't mean unrealistic fighting game -style combos, but rather,
moves chained together such as repeated punches, which are often
done in succession and not seperately.
* Tracks Win/Loss/Tie Records and Titles Held
* Instant Replays (post-match AND after a powerful or impressive
move if it's a 1-on-1 match)
* Weapons such as chairs, bats, garbage cans, stop signs, trophies,
table pieces, and so on (they can now be brought into the ring!)
* Wrestlers can take the fight out to the entrance isle
* Costume Edit mode (allows you to keep the costumes and names
up-to-date)
-Editor's Note- You may have read in earlier magazine previews of
the game that Costume Edit allows you to "switch a wrestler
between WCW and nWo". This is technically wrong since you can't
actually relocate a wrestler to go under another organization in
the select screen. However, you CAN update his costume and name if
he has changed it in order to be affiliated with the opposite
organization. Also, since every wrestler has more than one costume
you can change one of the costume's design, color, and
corresponding name without changing the rest. For example, change
Curt Hennig's 3rd costume to a different design and rename to
"Mr.Perfect", and only that one will appear as "Mr.Perfect", the
other costumes will still be "Curt Hennig".
* Run-ins occur when one of the wrestlers in a 1-on-1 match is
gaining a constant advantage
-Editor's Note- The wrestler who runs in is completely random. So
don't be surprised when a Wolfpac member runs in for an nWo
Hollywood member, and such.
* Voice and cartoon likeness of Referee Mark Curtis
* Choose from different TV and Pay-Per-View arena setups:
- Monday Nitro
- Souled Out
- Super Brawl VIII
- Bash at the Beach
- Halloween Havoc
- Starrcade
(The text background used during the wrestler entrances also
correspond to the arena setup being used.)
* Also, a couple of nitpicky details I've noticed:
- Your wrestler only goes into his stance if he's within a
certain distance from the person he's currently focused
on, unlike World Tour and many other past wrestling games
where you'd stay in your stance even if you're just walking
around the ringside area to get a weapon or whatever else
you may be doing.
- One of the problems with using the drop-to-the-mat or leap
frog when your opponent was running in World Tour was that
you had to time it PERFECTLY in order for it to work the
way you intend it to, or your running opponent would bump
into you while you're on the ground (or in the air) and
stop. The intention of a drop-to-mat or leap frog is to
let the opponent continue running to gain momentum for your
run-counter move, so that defeats the purpose. In Revenge,
running wrestlers will always hop over a fallen opponent,
this includes the rare case where you might hit the Run
button while standing near a fallen opponent. Your timing
can have a little more freedom as far as doing drops-to-
the-mat and leap frogs now.
1.3 What game modes are there?
==============================
* Championship
- US Heavyweight (Win to unlock Curt Hennig and the World
Heavyweight mode)
- Cruiserweight (Win to unlock Kidman and the TV Title mode)
- Tag Team (Win to unlock Meng and Barbarian)
- World Heavyweight (Win to unlock Roddy Piper)
- TV Title (Win to unlock Kanyon/Mortis)
* Exhibition
- Singles Match (1-on-1)
- Tag Team Match (2-on-2)
* Special Match
- Battle Royal (Up to 40 Participants, 4 in ring at once)
- Handicap Match (2-on-1)
* Costume Edit
- Update the wrestler's costumes to keep the game up-to-date
(you can update one of his four costumes while leaving the
rest alone if you want, whichever costume is currently
selected at the Costume Edit select screen is the one you'll
be changing, the rest are left intact)
- Change the name of the wrestler for one of or all of his
four costumes
* Options
1.4 Is there a season or a Tournament mode?
===========================================
No. Despite what you may have previously read before the game's
release, it does not have a "Season" mode. The Championship mode, in
THQ's view, takes the place of the Tournament and various League modes
that were in World Tour. I'd have to say the battle royal is a good
trade-off for a lot of this since it provides loads of replay value in
both 1-player and multiplayer games.
1.5 Will Revenge be released on PlayStation?
============================================
No. WCW/nWo Revenge is a Nintendo 64 EXCLUSIVE (as was World Tour).
There will not be any ports of the game for other platforms.
1.6 Does Revenge support Memory Paks and the Rumble Pak?
========================================================
It doesn't support memory paks since it saves everything internally
on the cart (saves money for people who don't own paks, and saves space
on the paks for people who do own one). It does support the Rumble Pak.
1.7 I suddenly lost control of my wrestler, what's going on?!
=============================================================
If you hit the Z button during the Battle Royal, you'll lose control
and the CPU will take over for you. Just hit the Z button again to regain
control. Read section 2.2 of this FAQ.
1.8 Are there any impressive moves not listed in the manual?
============================================================
Yes. See section 2.2, I've included all the moves in the manual plus
other ones I've found.
-------------------

2.2 The Moves
=============
Note: This is NOT just a list of the moves from the manual. This lists
everything from the manual PLUS a lot of things NOT listed in the
manual that I or someone contributing to the FAQ has found and
confirmed to work.
LONG/SHORT CONCEPT
A lot of the moves in Revenge are based on the concept of using a button
long or short, such as a "Long Grapple" or "Short Grapple". A long
grapple or attack (A or B respectively) is the amount of time you hold
the button. If you just tap it, it's short. If you hold it completely,
it's long (makes for stronger and more impressive moves, but takes longer
to physically perform, which makes you vulnerable).
ATTACKS
Moves like punches and kicks are done using the Attack button (B). Every
wrestler's specific move is different, but are done the same way:
- Short (B) a few steps from opponent: Far Attack
- Short (B) at close range: Weak punch or kick
- Short (B) + Control Pad Left: Near Attack
- Long (B): Strong Attack
- Long (B) + Control Pad: Strong leg attack
FRONT GRAPPLES
Moves like body slams, suplexes, and such are done in a Grapple, but you
must first win a Grapple in order to do them. To win a grapple, you must
time your (A) button so that you grab hold of your opponent in a Collar-
Elbow Tie-up before he does. The moves you do also depend on whether it
was a Short or Long Grapple. Once you win a grapple, hit a button or
button with direction to do a move (if you grapple at exactly the same
time and "tie", you'll go into a "Test of Strength").
- Short (A): Short Grapple
* (A) or (A) + Left/Right \
* (A) + Up |
* (A) + Down |_ Specific moves vary between
* (B) or (B) + Left/Right | every different wrestler
* (B) + Up |
* (B) + Down /
* (C-Down): Low momentum Irish Whip (throw opponent to the
ropes)
- Long (A): Long Grapple
* (A) or (A) + Left/Right \
* (A) + Up |
* (A) + Down |_ Specific moves vary between
* (B) or (B) + Left/Right | every different wrestler
* (B) + Up |
* (B) + Down /
* (C-Down): High momentum Irish Whip (throw opponent to the
ropes)
* Analog Control Stick in any direction while your spirit
meter is flashing SPECIAL: Your wrestler's special move
(which isn't necessarily his finisher since some finishers
are situation-specific like the Crippler Crossface and
Rings of Saturn)
BACK GRAPPLES
Moves such as German Suplexes, Belly-to-Back Suplexes, and Atomic Drops
are done from a Back Grapple. Just grapple with your opponent from
behind while he's dazed and you'll have him in a Waistlock.
- Short (A): Short Back Grapple
* (A) \_ Specific moves vary between
* (B) / every different wrestler
- Long (A): Long Back Grapple
* (A) \_ Specific moves vary between
* (B) / every different wrestler
MOVES FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE
To do moves such as Elbow Drops while the opponent is down or Dropkicks
and Double Axe Handles while the opponent is standing, the way to do it
is the same. Simply hold the direction toward the turnbuckles you want
to climb and hit the Run Button (C-Down).
RUN COUNTERS
Whether you just Irish Whipped your opponent (see Front Grapples) or he
is running toward you at free will, there are moves you can use to
"counter" a run:
- Opponent Running willingly or from Low Momentum Irish Whip
* Short (A): Weak momentum attack
* Long (A): Medium momentum attack 1
* Short (B): Weak momentum strike
* Long (B): Strong momentum strike
* (L Button): Drop to the mat or Leap Frog
- Opponent Running From High Momentum Irish Whip
* Short (A): Medium momentum attack 2
* Long (A): Strong momentum attack
* Short (B): Weak momentum strike
* Long (B): Strong momentum strike
* (L Button): Drop to the mat or Leap Frog
OPPONENT DOWN ON THE MAT
Moves such as elbow drops and submission holds are done when your opponent
has been knocked down.
- (A) at head: Attack or Submission Hold 1
- (A) at feet: Attack or Submission Hold 2
- (B): Striking Attack
- (B) while Running: Running Attack
- (C-Left): Flip opponent over
- (R Button): Pull opponent up to his feet
- (L Button): Go for the pin
SPECIAL SITUATION MOVES
Some of the most impressive high flying moves, such as 450 Splashes, Asai
Moonsaults, and Shooting Star Presses are done from special situations.
- On the Apron, Opponent is in the ring
* (C-Up) + Control Pad: Enter or leave the ring
* (C-Down) + Control Pad toward turnbuckles: Climb Corner
* (B): Striking attack
* Short (A): Attack (some wrestlers only)

* Long (B): Overhead Strike with weapon
* (B) While running: Strong Running Strike with weapon
TAUNTING
Every wrestler has a taunt or pose.
- Use the Analog Control Stick's Left, Up, and Right while standing
to do Taunt/Pose #1.
- Use the Analog Control Stick's Down while standing to do Taunt/
Pose #2 (This is also the one you do when you use any of the
Analog Control Stick's direction while getting up from being
knocked down or after just doing a move that takes you off of
your feet.
- When your meter is red and flashing, use the Analog Control Stick
to do Taunt/Pose #3 as well as make the meter flash SPECIAL (see
above lists for usage of special).
- Some wrestlers, such as Curt Hennig and Raven, have a 4th pose in
place of a top rope attack, and some even have one in place of a
slingshot-to-outside attack (ie. stands on bottom rope while
reaching over and provoking the opponent on the outside).
SECRET TRICKS
- If you move the Analog Control Stick in a Clockwise Circle
instead of just a single direction, you'll use your opponent's
own Taunt/Pose to provoke him!
- An easier way to start a Back Grapple is to start a Front Grapple
as normal, either long or short, and hit the (L Button). Your
wrestler will then spin the Collar-Elbow Tieup (Front Grapple)
into a Waistlock (Back Grapple).
- Long Grapple, (A) + (B) when your Spirit Meter is flashing
SPECIAL and you'll do your opponent's own finisher on him!
- Some wrestlers have a SPECIAL move that can be done while his
opponent is hooked on the corner, such as a Diamond Cutter from
the top turnbuckle. In order to do this, whip your opponent into
the corner while your spirit meter is flashing SPECIAL, then walk
up to him, while he's still hooked on the corner, and do a Long
Grapple along with any single direction on the Analog Control
Stick
- In the Nitro arena setup, Irish Whip him into the opening on the
entrance (Grapple and (C-Down) with your back facing the entrance)
and you'll send him running back stage. He'll come running back
out in a moment, sometimes holding a weapon! (This has been tested,
Sonny Onoo came running back out with a stop sign and Hogan ran
back out with a chair, it seems to happen at random)

but Asmik has made their appearances so far from their real life
counterparts that there's no way in hell you can make them
actually look right using the Costume Edit considering how shallow
that mode is. I had done some comparisons with the DAW wrestler's
moves, taunts, finishers, heights, and weights, and have found who
they really were. The EWF real names are from MrFloppy66@aol.com.
-----------------------------
Section 4: Secrets of Revenge
-----------------------------
1. Unlock Curt Hennig and the World Heavyweight Championship Mode
Win all 9 matches of the US Heavyweight Championship mode.
2. Unlock Roddy Piper
Win all 9 matches of the World Heavyweight Championship mode.
3. Unlock Kidman and the TV Title Mode
Win all 9 matches of the Cruiserweight Championship mode.
4. Unlock Kanyon / Mortis
Win all 9 matches of the TV Title mode.
5. Unlock Meng and Barbarian
Win all 9 matches of the Tag Team Championship mode.
6. Trick to Play as Managers/Valets
Start a 1-on-1 game involving wrestlers with a manager/valet. Hit
the Z button on Controller 3 and 4 during the match to take control
of them.
7. Sting Entrance from the Rafters
See Sting come down from the rafters in a 40-man Battle Royal with
Preset Order (don't choose him as one of the first four wrestlers
or you won't see it).
Note on Game Shark Code to Reveal Other "Hiddens"
Apparently, there are incomplete wrestlers, managers, and valets that were
left in the game but were never ready to be made accessible, can be made
playable through the use of Game Shark codes. For those of you who may not
know, the Game Shark "hacks" the game and enables you to access items
and/or do things that in most cases the developers didn't mean for players
to be able to access in such a way or at all (either for technical or
legal reasons, in this case because these characters weren't finished).
A Game Shark code that allows you to access all the managers, valets, and
hidden wrestlers, including the incomplete ones, has been circulating the
newsgroups:
890F9D36 0240
890F9D60 42B4
8107E8B2 ????
Replace the four ???? with one of the following digits to unlock the
corresponding manager/valet/incomplete-wrestler:
0007 Roddy Piper \
0105 Meng |
0106 Barbarian |_ These six are complete and can be unlocked
0207 Curt Hennig | normally using the methods in this section
0404 Kanyon |
0503 Kidman /
0403 Wrath (He has moves and his 2 finishers but he wears Sting's
costume)
0801 Eric Bischoff (This is the one that accompanies Hogan to the
ring, not the normally selectable one. This one has
no moves)
0802 Sonny Onoo (Not intended to be controlled by a player)
0803 Jimmy Hart (Not intended to be controlled by a player)
0804 Rick Rude (Not intended to be controlled by a player, has
punches and kicks only, no Grapple)
0805 Dusty Rhodes (Not intended to be controlled by a player)
0806 Ted DiBiase (Incomplete, has his name spelled "Ted Debiase"
and looks like Vincent)
0807 James Vandenberg (Incomplete, looks like Vincent)
0808 Vincent (Not intended to be controlled by a player)
0901 Miss Elizabeth (Not intended to be controlled by a player)
0902 Kimberly (Not intended to be controlled by a player)
0903 Jackreen (Incomplete, looks like an altered Sting)
0904 Sister Sherri (Incomplete)
0905 Woman (Incomplete, looks like Meng)
It's very unlikely these can be unlocked in any way without a Game
Shark (ie. in any way actually intended). In order to avoid frequent
crashes when using these codes, do the following: After entering the
codes and setting up a match, do nothing at the beginning of the match,
the manager/valet should be standing outside the ring. Hit (C-Right) to
change your focus then press the Game Shark button. Your manager/valet
should now be in the ring and under your control, but they don't have
many moves and can't grapple. The incomplete wrestlers who don't have a
unique taunt/pose of their own will just do someone else's.
Also, according to Mac, if you enter the code 8107F07C FFFF, it will
not only allow you to play as Wrath, but also make him an unlocked hidden
character as if you got him the way you got the six completed hiddens.
It saves it so you can choose him on the select screen in the future
without using the Game Shark again. This would lead one to believe that
Wrath was definitely intended to be a hidden character that you could
play as normally once you find him if they had actually finished him.

1st wrestler and another for the 2nd, then repeats (ie. 3rd uses theme #1 again, 4th uses theme #2
again). The only real WCW music in the game is a MIDI rendition of the Nitro music, which is used
during the post-match replay and Hi Score screens. * More Realistic Wrestler and Crowd Graphics
(everyone is height- proportioned now, and most of the face textures are almost flawless. The crowd
looks much more WCW now) * Over 700 frames of animation per wrestler * Over 300 unique
wrestling moves included in the game * Some wrestlers are now able to perform Multi-Hit Combos
-Editor's Note- This feature being listed can be misleading. This doesn't mean unrealistic fighting
game -style combos, but rather, moves chained together such as repeated punches, which are often
done in succession and not seperately. * Tracks Win/Loss/Tie Records and Titles Held * Instant
Replays (post-match AND after a powerful or impressive move if it's a 1-on-1 match) * Weapons
such as chairs, bats, garbage cans, stop signs, trophies, table pieces, and so on (they can now be
brought into the ring!) * Wrestlers can take the fight out to the entrance isle * Costume Edit mode
(allows you to keep the costumes and names up-to-date) -Editor's Note- You may have read in
earlier magazine previews of the game that Costume Edit allows you to "switch a wrestler between
WCW and nWo". This is technically wrong since you can't actually relocate a wrestler to go under
another organization in the select screen. However, you CAN update his costume and name if he
has changed it in order to be affiliated with the opposite organization. Also, since every wrestler has
more than one costume you can change one of the costume's design, color, and corresponding name
without changing the rest. For example, change Curt Hennig's 3rd costume to a different design and
rename to "Mr.Perfect", and only that one will appear as "Mr.Perfect", the other costumes will still
be "Curt Hennig". * Run-ins occur when one of the wrestlers in a 1-on-1 match is gaining a constant
advantage -Editor's Note- The wrestler who runs in is completely random. So don't be surprised
when a Wolfpac member runs in for an nWo Hollywood member, and such. * Voice and cartoon
likeness of Referee Mark Curtis * Choose from different TV and Pay-Per-View arena setups: -
Monday Nitro - Souled Out - Super Brawl VIII - Bash at the Beach - Halloween Havoc - Starrcade
(The text background used during the wrestler entrances also correspond to the arena setup being
used.) * Also, a couple of nitpicky details I've noticed: - Your wrestler only goes into his stance if
he's within a certain distance from the person he's currently focused on, unlike World Tour and many
other past wrestling games where you'd stay in your stance even if you're just walking around the
ringside area to get a weapon or whatever else you may be doing. - One of the problems with using
the drop-to-the-mat or leap frog when your opponent was running in World Tour was that you had to
time it PERFECTLY in order for it to work the way you intend it to, or your running opponent would
bump into you while you're on the ground (or in the air) and stop. The intention of a drop-to-mat or
leap frog is to let the opponent continue running to gain momentum for your run-counter move, so
that defeats the purpose. In Revenge, running wrestlers will always hop over a fallen opponent, this
includes the rare case where you might hit the Run button while standing near a fallen opponent.
Your timing can have a little more freedom as far as doing drops-to- the-mat and leap frogs now. 1.3
What game modes are there? ============================== * Championship - US
Heavyweight (Win to unlock Curt Hennig and the World Heavyweight mode) - Cruiserweight (Win
to unlock Kidman and the TV Title mode) - Tag Team (Win to unlock Meng and Barbarian) - World
Heavyweight (Win to unlock Roddy Piper) - TV Title (Win to unlock Kanyon/Mortis) * Exhibition -
Singles Match (1-on-1) - Tag Team Match (2-on-2) * Special Match - Battle Royal (Up to 40
Participants, 4 in ring at once) - Handicap Match (2-on-1) * Costume Edit - Update the wrestler's
costumes to keep the game up-to-date (you can update one of his four costumes while leaving the
rest alone if you want, whichever costume is currently selected at the Costume Edit select screen is
the one you'll be changing, the rest are left intact) - Change the name of the wrestler for one of or all
of his four costumes * Options 1.4 Is there a season or a Tournament mode?
=========================================== No. Despite what you may have
previously read before the game's release, it does not have a "Season" mode. The Championship
mode, in THQ's view, takes the place of the Tournament and various League modes that were in
World Tour. I'd have to say the battle royal is a good trade-off for a lot of this since it provides loads
of replay value in both 1-player and multiplayer games. 1.5 Will Revenge be released on
PlayStation? ============================================ No. WCW/nWo Revenge
is a Nintendo 64 EXCLUSIVE (as was World Tour). There will not be any ports of the game for
other platforms. 1.6 Does Revenge support Memory Paks and the Rumble Pak?
======================================================== It doesn't support
memory paks since it saves everything internally on the cart (saves money for people who don't own
paks, and saves space on the paks for people who do own one). It does support the Rumble Pak. 1.7
I suddenly lost control of my wrestler, what's going on?!
============================================================= If you hit the Z
button during the Battle Royal, you'll lose control and the CPU will take over for you. Just hit the Z
button again to regain control. Read section 2.2 of this FAQ. 1.8 Are there any impressive moves
not listed in the manual?
============================================================ Yes. See section
2.2, I've included all the moves in the manual plus other ones I've found. ------------------- Section 2:
Gameplay ------------------- 2.1 Controls ============ L=Pin downed opponent, R=Block or
Avoid attacks, Flip standing dazed opponent, Counter moves Counter moves Digital Control
Pad=Move the wrestler Analog Control Stick=Taunt around the ring B=Attack C-Left=Flip downed

The Moves ============= Note: This is NOT just a list of the moves from the manual. This lists
everything from the manual PLUS a lot of things NOT listed in the manual that I or someone
contributing to the FAQ has found and confirmed to work. LONG/SHORT CONCEPT A lot of the
moves in Revenge are based on the concept of using a button long or short, such as a "Long
Grapple" or "Short Grapple". A long grapple or attack (A or B respectively) is the amount of time
you hold the button. If you just tap it, it's short. If you hold it completely, it's long (makes for stronger
and more impressive moves, but takes longer to physically perform, which makes you vulnerable).
ATTACKS Moves like punches and kicks are done using the Attack button (B). Every wrestler's
specific move is different, but are done the same way: - Short (B) a few steps from opponent: Far
Attack - Short (B) at close range: Weak punch or kick - Short (B) + Control Pad Left: Near Attack
- Long (B): Strong Attack - Long (B) + Control Pad: Strong leg attack FRONT GRAPPLES Moves
like body slams, suplexes, and such are done in a Grapple, but you must first win a Grapple in order
to do them. To win a grapple, you must time your (A) button so that you grab hold of your opponent
in a Collar- Elbow Tie-up before he does. The moves you do also depend on whether it was a Short
or Long Grapple. Once you win a grapple, hit a button or button with direction to do a move (if you
grapple at exactly the same time and "tie", you'll go into a "Test of Strength"). - Short (A): Short
Grapple * (A) or (A) + Left/Right \ * (A) + Up | * (A) + Down |_ Specific moves vary between *
(B) or (B) + Left/Right | every different wrestler * (B) + Up | * (B) + Down / * (C-Down): Low
momentum Irish Whip (throw opponent to the ropes) - Long (A): Long Grapple * (A) or (A) +
Left/Right \ * (A) + Up | * (A) + Down |_ Specific moves vary between * (B) or (B) + Left/Right |
every different wrestler * (B) + Up | * (B) + Down / * (C-Down): High momentum Irish Whip
(throw opponent to the ropes) * Analog Control Stick in any direction while your spirit meter is
flashing SPECIAL: Your wrestler's special move (which isn't necessarily his finisher since some
finishers are situation-specific like the Crippler Crossface and Rings of Saturn) BACK GRAPPLES
Moves such as German Suplexes, Belly-to-Back Suplexes, and Atomic Drops are done from a Back
Grapple. Just grapple with your opponent from behind while he's dazed and you'll have him in a
Waistlock. - Short (A): Short Back Grapple * (A) \_ Specific moves vary between * (B) / every
different wrestler - Long (A): Long Back Grapple * (A) \_ Specific moves vary between * (B) /
every different wrestler MOVES FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE To do moves such as Elbow
Drops while the opponent is down or Dropkicks and Double Axe Handles while the opponent is
standing, the way to do it is the same. Simply hold the direction toward the turnbuckles you want to
climb and hit the Run Button (C-Down). RUN COUNTERS Whether you just Irish Whipped your
opponent (see Front Grapples) or he is running toward you at free will, there are moves you can use
to "counter" a run: - Opponent Running willingly or from Low Momentum Irish Whip * Short (A):
Weak momentum attack * Long (A): Medium momentum attack 1 * Short (B): Weak momentum
strike * Long (B): Strong momentum strike * (L Button): Drop to the mat or Leap Frog - Opponent
Running From High Momentum Irish Whip * Short (A): Medium momentum attack 2 * Long (A):
Strong momentum attack * Short (B): Weak momentum strike * Long (B): Strong momentum strike
* (L Button): Drop to the mat or Leap Frog OPPONENT DOWN ON THE MAT Moves such as
elbow drops and submission holds are done when your opponent has been knocked down. - (A) at
head: Attack or Submission Hold 1 - (A) at feet: Attack or Submission Hold 2 - (B): Striking Attack -
(B) while Running: Running Attack - (C-Left): Flip opponent over - (R Button): Pull opponent up to
his feet - (L Button): Go for the pin SPECIAL SITUATION MOVES Some of the most impressive

special situations. - On the Apron, Opponent is in the ring * (C-Up) + Control Pad: Enter or leave the
ring * (C-Down) + Control Pad toward turnbuckles: Climb Corner * (B): Striking attack * Short (A):
Attack (some wrestlers only) * Long (A): Long Grapple from the Apron o (A) \_ Specific moves

(C-Down) + Control Pad Toward Ring: Slide back into the ring - Holding a Weapon * Short (B):
Swing weapon * Long (B): Overhead Strike with weapon * (B) While running: Strong Running
Strike with weapon TAUNTING Every wrestler has a taunt or pose. - Use the Analog Control
Stick's Left, Up, and Right while standing to do Taunt/Pose #1. - Use the Analog Control Stick's
Down while standing to do Taunt/ Pose #2 (This is also the one you do when you use any of the
Analog Control Stick's direction while getting up from being knocked down or after just doing a move
that takes you off of your feet. - When your meter is red and flashing, use the Analog Control Stick
to do Taunt/Pose #3 as well as make the meter flash SPECIAL (see above lists for usage of
special). - Some wrestlers, such as Curt Hennig and Raven, have a 4th pose in place of a top rope
attack, and some even have one in place of a slingshot-to-outside attack (ie. stands on bottom rope
while reaching over and provoking the opponent on the outside). SECRET TRICKS - If you move
the Analog Control Stick in a Clockwise Circle instead of just a single direction, you'll use your
opponent's own Taunt/Pose to provoke him! - An easier way to start a Back Grapple is to start a
Front Grapple as normal, either long or short, and hit the (L Button). Your wrestler will then spin the
Collar-Elbow Tieup (Front Grapple) into a Waistlock (Back Grapple). - Long Grapple, (A) + (B)
when your Spirit Meter is flashing SPECIAL and you'll do your opponent's own finisher on him! -
Some wrestlers have a SPECIAL move that can be done while his opponent is hooked on the
corner, such as a Diamond Cutter from the top turnbuckle. In order to do this, whip your opponent
into the corner while your spirit meter is flashing SPECIAL, then walk up to him, while he's still
hooked on the corner, and do a Long Grapple along with any single direction on the Analog Control
Stick - In the Nitro arena setup, Irish Whip him into the opening on the entrance (Grapple and
(C-Down) with your back facing the entrance) and you'll send him running back stage. He'll come
running back out in a moment, sometimes holding a weapon! (This has been tested, Sonny Onoo
came running back out with a stop sign and Hogan ran back out with a chair, it seems to happen at
random) --------------------- Section 3: The Roster --------------------- * = Hidden Character, see

Asmik has made their appearances so far from their real life counterparts that there's no way in hell
you can make them actually look right using the Costume Edit considering how shallow that mode is.
I had done some comparisons with the DAW wrestler's moves, taunts, finishers, heights, and
weights, and have found who they really were. The EWF real names are from

----------------------------- 1. Unlock Curt Hennig and the World Heavyweight Championship Mode
Win all 9 matches of the US Heavyweight Championship mode. 2. Unlock Roddy Piper Win all 9
matches of the World Heavyweight Championship mode. 3. Unlock Kidman and the TV Title Mode
Win all 9 matches of the Cruiserweight Championship mode. 4. Unlock Kanyon / Mortis Win all 9
matches of the TV Title mode. 5. Unlock Meng and Barbarian Win all 9 matches of the Tag Team
Championship mode. 6. Trick to Play as Managers/Valets Start a 1-on-1 game involving wrestlers
with a manager/valet. Hit the Z button on Controller 3 and 4 during the match to take control of
them. 7. Sting Entrance from the Rafters See Sting come down from the rafters in a 40-man Battle
Royal with Preset Order (don't choose him as one of the first four wrestlers or you won't see it).
Note on Game Shark Code to Reveal Other "Hiddens" Apparently, there are incomplete wrestlers,
managers, and valets that were left in the game but were never ready to be made accessible, can be
made playable through the use of Game Shark codes. For those of you who may not know, the
Game Shark "hacks" the game and enables you to access items and/or do things that in most cases
the developers didn't mean for players to be able to access in such a way or at all (either for
technical or legal reasons, in this case because these characters weren't finished). A Game Shark
code that allows you to access all the managers, valets, and hidden wrestlers, including the
incomplete ones, has been circulating the newsgroups: 890F9D36 0240 890F9D60 42B4 8107E8B2
???? Replace the four ???? with one of the following digits to unlock the corresponding
manager/valet/incomplete-wrestler: 0007 Roddy Piper \ 0105 Meng | 0106 Barbarian |_ These six
are complete and can be unlocked 0207 Curt Hennig | normally using the methods in this section
0404 Kanyon | 0503 Kidman / 0403 Wrath (He has moves and his 2 finishers but he wears Sting's
costume) 0801 Eric Bischoff (This is the one that accompanies Hogan to the ring, not the normally
selectable one. This one has no moves) 0802 Sonny Onoo (Not intended to be controlled by a player)
0803 Jimmy Hart (Not intended to be controlled by a player) 0804 Rick Rude (Not intended to be
controlled by a player, has punches and kicks only, no Grapple) 0805 Dusty Rhodes (Not intended to
be controlled by a player) 0806 Ted DiBiase (Incomplete, has his name spelled "Ted Debiase" and
looks like Vincent) 0807 James Vandenberg (Incomplete, looks like Vincent) 0808 Vincent (Not
intended to be controlled by a player) 0901 Miss Elizabeth (Not intended to be controlled by a player)
0902 Kimberly (Not intended to be controlled by a player) 0903 Jackreen (Incomplete, looks like an
altered Sting) 0904 Sister Sherri (Incomplete) 0905 Woman (Incomplete, looks like Meng) It's very
unlikely these can be unlocked in any way without a Game Shark (ie. in any way actually intended).
In order to avoid frequent crashes when using these codes, do the following: After entering the
codes and setting up a match, do nothing at the beginning of the match, the manager/valet should be
standing outside the ring. Hit (C-Right) to change your focus then press the Game Shark button.
Your manager/valet should now be in the ring and under your control, but they don't have many
moves and can't grapple. The incomplete wrestlers who don't have a unique taunt/pose of their own
will just do someone else's. Also, according to Mac, if you enter the code 8107F07C FFFF, it will not
only allow you to play as Wrath, but also make him an unlocked hidden character as if you got him
the way you got the six completed hiddens. It saves it so you can choose him on the select screen in
the future without using the Game Shark again. This would lead one to believe that Wrath was
definitely intended to be a hidden character that you could play as normally once you find him if they
had actually finished him. ------------------ Section 5: Credits ------------------ Written By Frank Chan
