The Giant(Big Show) and Kevin Nash powerbombing each other was actually a big storyline.
Was about to comment same thing
Yep. 96 Nash did it but tore open his booty hole. 98 he tried again but damn near bruh Giants neck
Didn't Kevin Nash drop him right on his neck when he tried powerbombing him?
KWAB
It wasn't them power bombing each other. Nash botched a power bomb on Big Show when he was The Giant at Souled Out dropping him on his neck. WCW then claimed in the storyline that Nash had purposely almost broken The Giants neck and they banned the jackknife. Nash then proceeded to use it anyway with Hollywood Hogan paying for his fines and Nash getting arrested on screen everytime he jacknifed someone. He would get escorted out in cuffs yelling "Attica". This led to their eventual rematch based on the story.
This game was deep in my multiplayer rotation as a kid along with Mario Kart and Goldeneye. All came out within a year. Then WCW/nWo Revenge came out next year which was even better.
No mercy was the pinnacle of these THQ games
Yep! And Super Smash Bros. for me and my friend group.
@@soup8786 i had revenge growing up just recently played a rom of no mercy with a friend and on the hunt for that cart now LOLOL I cant find one with out some stupid kids name in sharpy all over the label or the label torn in half. Fucking ham fisted kids.
We all lived the same childhood, I swear.
them feels
Glacier was a real wrestler for WCW back in 1996/1997, and he was a Sub Zero knockoff.
Came here to find this comment lol
Yup I was about to put this in the comments myself. Me at 15yrs old back then Glacier was one of my fav wrestlers in WCW
@@mattgreen2559 if they chose someone half way decent to play him the character would have been a star. Every kid liked the idea of him at least.
Totally remember this dude and how lame my brothers and I thought he was.
@@natefuller4039 I bet if you asked them now one of your brothers would admit to secretly loving Glacier
This game changed my life.
Are you a wrestler ?
The menu music changed my life.
Better or worse
Hopefully for the better lol
This game was the best wrestling game I've ever played. So many hidden tricks.
I was overwhelmed with nostalgia watching this one, nearly to tears. I spent sooo much time playing this game and I haven't thought about it in years. Thank you for doing this.
Isn't this the one where Diamond Dallas Page comes out with a girl and you can beat tf outta her and she kicks your nuts off.
Loved this game. Friends and I played this for so many hours.
Sting in quotation marks is there because at the time the game was made there was a story arc where someone was posing as Sting to make the WCW folks think he'd sided with the nWo
Fuck I can't believe I know this
Why do I remember that his name is Jeff Farmer?!
@@AgingScallywag But not the jumpin' one.
@@Eidenhoek Yep. Prolly the hardest match of my life.
Yeah he was known as "bogus Sting" at the time.
5:08
Fun fact, Kevin Nash has power bombed the big show in real life when big show was around 500 lbs. He did it twice actually. 1 he did perfect. 2 he looked like he almost killed big show by dropping him on his head. Look it up on UA-cam.

Facts. I saw the second one live on t.v. when it happened. Was scary looking considering shows weight landing on his neck.
I swear 10% of the n64’s games are wrestling games. This one was definitely the best way back when tho.
Wrestling and racing games were the bread and butter
No Mercy was the best
Big nostalgia with this one. It was my first ever N64 game, Christmas '97. I put so much time into this game. Black Belt was always my favorite and I had no idea he was supposed to be Taka Michinoku, who I also loved as a kid lol
Wasn't Taka WWF though?
@@coreybreiland7586 only after this game came out
Before that he only worked in Japan
@@SteelyDanzig that's funny. I loved Black Belt too and a fan of Taka...INDEED.
I remember being able to choose alternate costume colors in the character select screen, I don't remember how. And I think more characters would unlock in other weight divisions. My favorite guy was Ultimate Dragon. I believe Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero were in the game too. Also, I think the rules didn't allow it in story mode, but you could reach into the barricades and grab a weapon from the audience, usually just a chair or a bat. Fun game, good memories.
You use C-Left and C-Right to choose alternate attires and the only wrestler he missed was Black Widow, which is in the WWW Cruiserweight Title league.
I can’t wait for the Mystical Ninja games, Mischief Makers and Banjo Tooie!
Keep it going brother x
I can't wait for Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon. Great adventure will be good too though.
Mischief Makers was a great game. Highly underrated
Can't wait for Quest 64... Gonna be a long one lol
@@marc0-pol0 been waiting for it!!!
Goemon!!!!
This series might be the best thing on UA-cam. Awesome job..!
Glacier isn't based on anyone, Glacier was a real wrestler and P.E. coach at my high school when I was in elementary school. He did have an entrance like Sub-Zero though.
he was almost a sub zero copy cat
ua-cam.com/video/V-3qptWblXc/v-deo.html -> all the promo stuff and the history
Your joking right?
@@0mattp0 about what?
@@0mattp0 I suggest you watch the link posted in these replies. It’s a funny watch and he most certainly isn’t joking.
Glacier helped coach a Football Camp for teenagers that I went to a long time ago. Good times
This is my favorite series I love Thabs humor.
It sounds like he had fun making this one haha
Mick Flair should’ve been the final wrestler. After all he is the 15 time world champion.
Rick
@@folieimposee3054 mike tried to make a gpb inside joke. his gta5 rp char is name Mick Flair ;)
@@folieimposee3054 Mick. It is short for Micholas.
woooooo
@@folieimposee3054 Woooooo...ooosh.
Kevin Nash has legit powerbombed Big Show. Just figured I'd come here and drop that while watching the vid. Great Content Thab!
Real wrester for Glacier? Was Glacier, he was a late 90s wrestler based on Sub Zero
Dang what a beast
This was back when Show was still super athletic and agile. Dude used to do top rope moonsaults and shit
@@Thabeast721 more like “the beast”
Glacier was an actual real wrestler in WCW back in the day. He was kind of a Sub Zero knock-off. Also, even though wrestling does sort of have divisions for weight, it isn't to unusual to see different classes fighting each other, depending on what belt they were shooting for, or who was popular at the time. When I first started wrestling back in the early 90s, my first ever match was against a Luchador guy named El Diablo, he was about 5'5 and 160lbs, I was 6'1 250lbs. The popularity, almost always will decided who fights who, no matter the weight. Loved your video my friend, loved this game too.
Yep, if you watched wrestling around that time, Kevin Nash had a title match against the cruiserweight Rey Mysterio Jr. He unmasked Rey, and Rey wrestled without a mask for a good while.
Kevin Nash did powerbomb the Giant in WCW, however he dropped him wrong and ended up breaking his neck
he did a proper one earlier in the year. Its beautiful
This games mechanics (and the subsequent sequels) were the best for wrestling games.
The character creator for this was amazing for the time. I remember spending hours making ridiculous characters with my friends and running leagues lol
this didn't have a character creator, but the sequel (WCW vs NWO: Revenge) had a character editor. you didn't get a character creator until that game's sequel and switch to WWF - WWF Wrestlemania 2000. then that game's sequel, and best in the series (or all wrestling games?), WWF No Mercy, had an even better character creator.
so it was probably 1 of those 3 games you're thinking of. all of them are good. even this bare bones game.
@@kingdavid7516 yes it was the editor in Revenge!
@@lord_woodhaven6426 Revenge is my favorite. the 2 games after were superior in content, but Revenge had the perfect roster.
This game was way better than WWF Warzone and I was a WWF fan. WCW followed up with Revenge which was even better. WWF finally caught fire when AKI and THQ took over.
Rick Steiner was a monster, I bet he could have absolutely put Nash over his head, And Nash has power bombed the Big Show / Giant before.
Glacier was a wrestler on WCW that was based on Sub Zero (his real name was Ray Lloyd).
I walked 2miles in the alaskan snow, to blockbuster and rented this game 3weekends in a row. I absolutely loved this game.
Is that the one Blockbuster that is still open?
I remember walking to the video rental store in the winter; We'd always take longer than we had to just to eat some free popcorn and warm up before heading back with whatever games we grabbed.
Taunting And taking care of your body?!? Talk about multitasking. No wonder the crowd was going nuts.
Lol self care gets the crowd in a frenzy
Love love love these wrestling games!
Hands down this was the best wrestling game of all time. The special moves were awesome and they had all the best characters. It really changed things for the better for the games to follow.
It was innovative for sure. No mercy was the best tho
@@paranoidandroid9979 No Mercy never really grabbed my attention when it came out. For whatever reason, I just didn't like any of the WWF games after the SNES until Smackdown came along. But the WCW games of the era were all great.
Kids don't know how good they've got it these days. Look at those low poly graphics - we used to think this was awesome back in the day, haha.
These graphics are as good as they needed to be. Very little has to be left to the imagination here. That's all you need.
Maybe I'm biased because I grew up with these games, but I would rather play wrestling games from the 90's any day over the modern era games. Sure, WWE 22 or whatever they're called now LOOK better, but they aren't as fun. And they're all bogged down with a ton of unnecessary modes, whereas these older games are as pure as it gets. Just straight up wrestling, no filler.
I wasn’t even thinking about you playing wrestling games. I can’t wait to watch all of them
I absolutely love this series but it makes me sad to think it will take 7.5 years to finish 😭
No way…
Well there goes my hopes for cookers bad fur day lol
I love that this is going to go on for so long.
Scott Norton is the best player. his heavy attack is fast and has a high chance of KO'ing an opponent. fast taunt for special. and grabs are devastating.
I remember Kevin Nash trying to hit Big Show with the Jackknife Powerbomb once and dropped Big Show on top of his head. It was a miracle he didn't break his neck.
I'm pretty sure he did break his neck. He also did successfully power bomb him prior to that.
He did break his neck. He dropped him because minutes before he had a coffee tossed on him so Giant was soaked and slippery.
I used Buff back in the day. Oh the nostalgia. I never came close to finishing this game.
Take me back to all the 4 player wrestler wars and bloody faces (yes they showed blood after being hit multiple times with a weapon) of this game.... Pure Nostalgia 😌🎮
I Was Really Hoping You’d Finish All Of The League Challenges 🥺
Joe Bruiser Has The Highest Rate Of TKOing Of All The Characters In That Game 👍
Great Video! Keep Up The Great Work!!

This was the best release title for the counsel. SO GOOD!!!! Loved all of the sequels!
Easily one of the best games in the N64 library.
Being a huge wrestling fan, especially of the mid to late 90s stuff, this was great. Can't wait until you do the other AKI games.
This was the wrestling game I had. I too played as Kevin Nash. I remember that taught and remember the time I realized I could stand my opponent up and powerbomb them without waiting for them to stand. Ahh memories. Great series.
*taunt
2:17
Believe it or not, that's very accurate to real-life pro wrestling. It's called a "no-sell" in the business.
Dang I thought you didn't know much about wrestling during the WWF War Zone playthrough but I'm eating my words now. You seem to know all about the WCW guys. Example: You knew Nash's finish is call the "Jack-knife Power Bomb".
“Who doesn’t want to cheer for someone trying to take care of their body?” I AM FUCKING DEAD ☠️
These videos have been such a blessing in my life lately. Thank you for putting in all this effort!
Another episode of thabs favourite genre - wrestling haha
I played this game with my friend so much. We loved beating up on Dim Sun and Saladin. Also the music on this game slaps. I’m surprised you didn’t use more weapons.
WCW brings back memories to me. i love watching it and playing the game. my favorite was sting and i remember that defeating ddp was incredibly difficult.
Glacier was a legit WCW wrestler. He started off as almost a carbon copy of Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat
One of my faves for the n64. Continue this saga please bro. Dont fall off
Oooft, he's got Revenge and No Mercy to go next, would love to relive those games for the first time again.
No mercy is the best wrestling game of all time
@@dspsblyuth Yep, big time
God- this was the pinnacle of graphics when I was a kid. Ric Flair looks like Buddy Rodgers.
my first game I got for my N64. I loved it and it took me almost a year to figure out you could get weapons
appreciate that you keep taking on the random games as they come! keep it up. i cant wait until my favorities come along.
This game blew my mind the first time I played it. Nobody did wrestling so well at the time.
To your point, Kevin Nash once broke The Giant's neck trying to Jack Knife him.
Kevin Nash did power bomb The Giant (Big Show), twice! After the first time Nash said "never again," they made him do it again a while later (months?) anyway, and he tore his back up BAD.
I think this game was a reskin of a Japanese wrestling game. It's still a fun game to play a few rounds on. I love throwing the cpu against the ropes, bouncing off the opposite ropes, then drop kicking them. Also going out of the ring to grab weapons is risky but kinda brutal and cheese.
According to wiki it's the 2nd best selling wrestling game for the n64, it was always my favorite.
The N64 was loaded with fighting games. I can't wait till you play a platformer.
Very good video buddy. WWF Wrestlemania 2000 and WWW No mercy are gonna kick your butt
i spent so much time playing this game.. the ring out out trick always cracked me up. climb out of the ring, get opponent outside and run around to the opposite side. if done right the ai will just walk into the ring nonstop. you can climb up to the ropes, but if you enter the ring the ai will follow.
I went absolutely bonkers when you did your arm warm up taunt
Who doesn't love a wrestler trying to take care of their body?
I absolutely love this series
I was hoping to see Goldberg in this. That spear was my favorite.
Can’t believe you actually got two in a row lol. Ah well, getting them out of the way early to make way for all the other games on the N64!
This game was awesome as a kid with family/friends! Also surprised you didn’t tear Nash’s quad!
5:09, technically he can powerbomb big show, but he always comes very close to breaking shows neck every time
Good luck in WWF No Mercy's Story mode lol
I’m pretty sure you unlocked other characters on the other weight classes as I remember there being a female wrestler and a Rey Mysterio type of guy
Just the female, Black Window. He still needed to beat the Cruiserweight Leagues.
This game is super special for me cuz it was one of the few N64 games I actually owned lol
So Wrath and Glacier are the real names of 2 WCW Wrestlers but everyone else is using a different name in their leagues. In fact in Japan this is Virtual Pro Wrestling 64. Same game but with 3 more leagues and more wrestlers. For now I'll just cover this version.
Independent Union is based on Michinoku Pro Wrestling and Dead or Alive is based on Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling. Some of the notable wrestlers using different names in this game are Abdullah The Butcher/ Saladin, Hayabusa/Hannibal, and The Great Sasuke/Black Ninja. The Great Sasuke is the actual owner of Michinoku Pro Wrestling. Also if you did cruiserweight for the W3 League instead of Muhammed Ali you face Manami Toyota/Black Widow. She is the only unlockable woman in the game.
“Got you for three minutes of playtime”-bonesaw
This is one of my favorite wrestling game ever played
Dynamite Macho Man, Thab. 😂👏🏻👏🏻
I loved this game since it was my first N64 wrestling game but Wrestle Mania 2000 was THE wrestling game.
Playing with Ali after unlocking him makes you unstoppable. 1 or 2 punches busts open your oponnets head and can tko them pretty quick with just punches.
Kevin Nash has indeed Jacknife powerbombed The Giant before and it was very impressive. It was during a tag match on Nitro I think
I love that you need to make the opponent seizure to get a TKO
The animation is based off the ending of a Takada/Kitato match and yeah..."seizure"...not inaccurate
4:25 who doesn't wanna cheer for someone taking care of their body 😂
5:09 that actually happened irl and nash dropped big show on his head lol
Oh boy! More wrasslin’!
Glacier was a real wrestler he had a crazy hype built and a massive entrance and didn't really go anywhere with his career
I rented this game when it first came out and it made me into a wrestling fan overnight
Lol Glacier, I actually have his photo and autograph on my wall 😂😂
This game was revolutionary back when it came out
Did for wrestling games
What goldeneye did for fps on consoles
Some of the best developers around
Going to get aew forever because of them
Hollywood Hulk Hogan losing to Kevin Nash?!?! In the immortal worlds of Hulk Hogan "Doesn't work for me brother"
I remember going to Rite Aid to look for black shoe polish to put on my face like Hulk Hogan had on the cover.
Funny thing, nash definitely cannot powerbomb big show like that. Nearly broke his neck when he tried.
I would always just go out of the ring as a kid and get items from the crowd to hit the other wrestlers with.
Also the boxer at the end is easy because he actually just uses boxing moves. But you can play as him and easily TKO any opponent. At least that's what I remember.
Game music was BOMB ASF !!!! One of the best n64 games ever
Just some random guy in jeans and a t-shirt, Eric Bischoff. Couldn't have said it better myself. Lol
be so cool to get some of the AKI N64 games on Switch. playing this on the train would be awesome.
i guess the licences to make it happen would be a nightmare of epic proportions.
Looking forward to shadows of the empire, that was my fav / first n64 game!
Endless sleepover nights jamming on this with friends
Glacier is a legit one…he comes out with a helmet on that makes him look like SubZero
It's funny because he's mastered using Kevin Nash's exact 5 move set.
One of my all time favourite wrestling games. Played it for the first time back in 2004 and just loved it. Prefer it even over No Mercy.
Can't wait for Shadowman. It'll change his life.
Great video as always. It's just a shame you couldn't play as the handsome wrestler you were in the last one.
Hey theres a reskin for this game
4:50 Moreover, in the United States v. McMahon trial regarding steroids, the latter argued that Wrestling is entertainment and not a sport, so sporting regulations regarding doping do not apply to it.
As a wrestling diehard fan, watching this hurt my balls cause you're not a fan lol
But as a gamer, this was a fun watch and was all the nostalgia lol
