Okay, the cowboy one makes the golf one look like a masterpiece.

That NWO hotline poster begs a few questions, namely did Mean Gene get anything out of it (like he did for the normal hotline) and who are the guys listed towards the end of the week? I also love the idea that Dibiase, Hogan, Hall and Nash will be there on certain days every week to TALK TRASH.

Even when I was a kid, I thought it was dumb as poo poo that the One Warrior Nation had two members (but, I suppose, only one Warrior, because we're operating under No Homers Club rules).

The 2000's had some beauts too, like that ad where someone is born, and is shot out of their mom like a cannonball, aging the whole time as they fly through the air, until they land an old man into the grave.

I believe it was a PS2 ad?

This makes me think of that ad for that SNES game where it's a Gradius type game and somehow they felt the best way to advertise this was a very old hillbilly playing a banjo. Probably in every comic book and game magazine I touched in the early 90's.

I had to google the title, it was called Phalanx.

The feathering around Flair’s hair is some serious amateur poo poo.

Also, n64 was a trash system full of trash games and that includes No Mercy.

Goes deeper than you think. That wasn't just an ad, that was the box for the game.

Jeff Katz was an occasional hanger-on of Bischoff, he was kinda prominent on Souled Out, such as during the Miss nWo pageant that ended with Eric Bischoff putting a middle-aged woman on a giant toilet. He then went on to make Wrestling Retribution Project which seems unlikely to ever be seen by human eyes. Phantom and Outlaw I have no idea.

Nomad is the arch nemesis of Phantom, the guy in my avatar. Their daughters go to the same boarding school.

What a 70 year old newspaper comic strip has to do with WCW, I have no idea whatsoever.

I wonder how much money wwe is leaving on the table by not making an n64 style game.

Use the same control scheme with some polished graphics, fill it with the current roster and legends. People, myself included, haven’t shut the gently caress up about these games in the last 20 years.

Hell, sell the game with like a hundred wrestlers and a bunch of arenas and every quarter sell an update for $10 with some new wrestlers, arenas and costumes. They don’t even have to make a new game every year, just sell dlc like every other sports game should be.

true loving story, when I started e-fedding back in the angelfire/geocities days there was a dude whose character was named "The Top Cat" Sabretooth and his picbase was Kevin Nash, and I have never forgotten it (as evidenced by me typing this right now)

None, because the N64 was very bad.

the sega saturn had better wrestling games than the N64 and i'm pretty sure the saturn had exactly 1 wrestling game on it, and it was All Japan Pro Wrestling Featuring Virtua

Saturn was bad too but at least the Saturn had the decency to pack up when it knew it was licked.

I still think the Dreamcast was one of the best systems ever but Sega was just done by then and they had no one to blame but themselves.

Vincel slander is not allowed in this thread, The N64 was the system of WCW and thus the people.
