Man.. takes me back. We used to do this a lot as kids. After a long session of playing with my friend we always ended it in a "Hey, you wanna fuck up the ref?".
@@samr4042 It wasn't ahead of it's time, it was fun arcade style fast paced gameplay back then. What happened you may ask? Fans complained about the lack of realism and that's why today's games have slower gameplay with boring looking animations in comparison. To those people, I say thanks assholes.
@@UltimateShadow10 i highly doubt anyone complained The game was biggest hits. Is still now May be wwe itself switched to more realistic - slower - gameplay
That Pedigree that Triple H did at the beginning looked devastating. That Benoit dive from the top of the truck made me think of his Dark Side of the Ring episode.
Dark side of the ring is a pathetic excuse of a documentary I don't know why will you ever watch that all they do is hating on wwe for all they did in attitude and ruthless aggression era

Reminds me of when I was in high school, there was this girl that kept causing me grief and playing mind games so I created her in the game and beat her up lmao
there's something about these old games that makes better than the new ones, the new ones have better graphics and looks real but the moves in the old games feel more impactful/powerful imo and it's more satisfying to see them performed.
Bruhh play no mercy on Nintendo 64 you can literally beat ya opponent to a bloody pulp and they jus lay there shaking until they can't stand a real I quit match lol
I'd completely forgotten that we used to have actual ref models like Earl Hebner, Nick Patrick and Mike Chiolda. Charles Robinson was probably in here somewhere.
I love how Triple H starts to jump to hit the pedigree, the moves had personality in this game. In the modern games if you hit the pedigree, it doesn't feel like it's Triple H who's doing the finisher, but it seems like a realistic, but standard pedigree.
The coolest part was the Easter egg you got after pinning the referee 131 times where you could play as Jeff Hardy and inject the ref with a massive dose of horse tranquilizers. Then, after 236 pins you got the Chris Benoit Easter egg, where you…well…that one is probably best left unsaid. But the ultimate Easter egg was after 373 pins when you got the Owen Hart Easter egg. For some reason, those matches never seemed to last very long though.
Poor Earl Hebner😂 I still remember Earl and other referees going on strike in the Season Mode and returns at a crucial match in favour of our player against Vince If I remember 😂❤
Omg me and a few friends play this game. It's one of the funniest wrestling games I've ever played. I love messing with the referee. I find it especially hilarious when he counters the moves you try to hit him with.
Well here is a tip Do a first blood match and select kane or kevin nash with 2 players Beat each other up with your head red( ie one move to make u bleed) After that hit refree with kevin nash or kane's finisher( Smack down move L1) Make sure he blocks it though ( he has to block your move for this) You will be surprised of what u will see
@@fikzgaming279 yes i still play this on weekends at my house with my friends And playing it on a real ps2 is a better experience than playing it on pcsx2
I like how the ref no sells any pin attempt on him
I like how every time he's knocked down, he oversells and lays flat dead for like 3-5 minutes.
Just like Big match John.
That ref should never have been broken into the business!!!
Except here 1:46 probably because you can't kick out when you're dead
The referee is aware that there's no one else to make a count but himself
Man.. takes me back. We used to do this a lot as kids. After a long session of playing with my friend we always ended it in a "Hey, you wanna fuck up the ref?".
Just seeing The Undertaker drag the ref around by the throat while on a motorcycle was worth it.
Batista just watching him get electrocuted 😂
1:36
2:20 That was perfect how smooth it transitioned
That rko to big boot combo was pretty good @ 2:22
THAT SHIT WAS BRUTAL!!!
The RKO followed by the BIG Boot was pretty freackin’ cool! 2:21
It was funny as hell 🤣
2:21: That Finisher combo was sick
"This isn't a singles match, it's a HANDICAP MATCH WITH THE REFEREE BEING DISSECTED!!!"
The Undertaker dragging the ref by the throat on his bike was what got me the most! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why is this game a thousand years old but looks so smooth
Yeah 2K games never have experience like this game
because this is ps2 game 😎
Ahead of its time

The impact after giving finishers...feels so satisfying..
That RKO Into The Big Boot Was Lethal😤
nice spot!
That RKO into the Big Boot tho 👌👌👌
2:21 THIS IS BEST COMBO 😂😂
The surprise ending got me 🤣🤣😂😂 fantastic work
2:22 that was sick move sequence.
Yep RKO and then the Big Boot by Test (Sheamus stole Test's swag) lol
That RKO to Big Boot combination was awesome.
1:38 😂😂
Taker just casually.. *_tosses_* the referee into a live electrical conduit! 😂😂
2:21 They didn't even give dude a chance to fall, XD
Reminds me of when I was in high school, there was this girl that kept causing me grief and playing mind games so I created her in the game and beat her up lmao
Lmaooooo i did the same but in wwf no mercy for the n64
4:06 after all those finishers he still gets up to announce that he would be quiting lol🤣🤣🤣🤣
Omfg. I felt that Batista Bomb into the concrete!
there's something about these old games that makes better than the new ones, the new ones have better graphics and looks real but the moves in the old games feel more impactful/powerful imo and it's more satisfying to see them performed.
It’s the new games they stop caring about there fans
It’s simply cause it was and still is fun.
Bruhh play no mercy on Nintendo 64 you can literally beat ya opponent to a bloody pulp and they jus lay there shaking until they can't stand a real I quit match lol
That RKO to Test Big Boot was amazing.
I'd completely forgotten that we used to have actual ref models like Earl Hebner, Nick Patrick and Mike Chiolda. Charles Robinson was probably in here somewhere.
02:20 that is 1 smooth combined finisher
Fr
2:21 was actually amazing
1:48 gets dragged on concrete electrified AND THEN Batista bombed onto concrete immediately kicks outa pin xD
he no solds it
you FELT the pain in this game, something WWE games need to get back too
We use to do the same to the ref when we got bored 😂 brings back memories
Y'ALL GOTTA CHILL! THAT REF HAS A FAMILY DAMMIT
The RKO into the big boot might be the most impressive combo I've ever seen
@@ChiseledAdonis
Earl Hebner sold EVERY move
@@ChiseledAdonis lowkey what Canada wanted to do to Earl Hebner back at Survivor Series 97
I always remember the refs in this game actually being hard to do moves on sometimes cause they'd reverse it and push you away lmao
Just started playing this again recently, still better than any wrestling game since.
That RKO-Big Boot combo was sick
The Best Wrestling game of its Time or EVER!
Wow this game still holds up after many years
Ah yes. The referee: The most powerful character in Here Comes the Pain.
2:21 Was Pretty Dope!!
ngl that RKO-Big Boot combo was great
That RKO into a Test big boot was fucking smooth as diamonds
2:21 nice combo 😂
Dude that referee was so badass that can skip the pin without any trouble, even after receiving a frog splash and a shattered dreams...
I love how Triple H starts to jump to hit the pedigree, the moves had personality in this game. In the modern games if you hit the pedigree, it doesn't feel like it's Triple H who's doing the finisher, but it seems like a realistic, but standard pedigree.
Here Comes The Pain has the best engine in all wrestling games.
@@fonzo88Yep. And it still rocks!
@@fonzo88 *AKI Engine
Same with the reversals too. I love it when Kane & The Undertaker reverses a move. It actually feels like them.
the moves looked so real in this game too, you felt every one
My favorite one was the undertaker dragging him on the motorcycle and then throwing him into the electrical box. 🤣
Me too, I laughed my ass off at that.
2:22
RKO into big boot. What a combo!
2:26 😭😭😭
The way he twitched
@@vndgkng this has me crying in laughter 🤣😂😭
2:21 is perfect
They killed him
Early 2000's WWE games hits different
2:22 smooth
2:21 perfect lol
Referee irl : gets pushed and ⚰️
This game : gets electrocuted but shoulders up in first count
I mean, who counts the pin?
Underrated comment
This game was ridiculously fun. You could destroy someone and they’d be knocked out for a hot min.
best wrestling game ever played.. those days with my friends
Earl is just like "I'm out of here quicker then that night in Montreal"
moves and hits look so violent, hard, aggressive and i love it
Me tooooooo
I remember when I accidentally German Suplex the referee and he countered it with backflip and I was like: 🙂 OK...
I died of laughter when the undertaker was giving the ref the last ride and hill billy jim was doing cartwheels
2:20 if they were tag team partners in real life ..that would an amazing tag team finnisher
The impact to this was soo much better
"Bah gawd he's got family!!!"
I miss the days when the moves looked as if they killed their opponent on live television. 2K had never had this magic.
The coolest part was the Easter egg you got after pinning the referee 131 times where you could play as Jeff Hardy and inject the ref with a massive dose of horse tranquilizers.

Here comes the pain was the best wrestling game ever
No mercy was
Poor Earl Hebner😂
I still remember Earl and other referees going on strike in the Season Mode and returns at a crucial match in favour of our player against Vince If I remember 😂❤
I don’t totally get why it’s 2-1 against a ref, but I’m here for it. It’s cracking me up
The selling on this game was A1 👌🏼👌🏼
Old school WWE games had the wackiest animations, but they always made you feel that like the moves would hit real hard
Those 2 Jeff Hardy Caws Tho😮💨🔥
Jeff Hardy with blue face paint is not a CAW, it's a official model post-cancelled because of being fired in 2002.
Brings me back to the days when me and my bro would beat the living shit out of referees in Smackdown vs Raw 2009.
One of the reasons why PlayStation 2 will always be my favorite console. Good times
Omg me and a few friends play this game. It's one of the funniest wrestling games I've ever played. I love messing with the referee. I find it especially hilarious when he counters the moves you try to hit him with.
The test/orton combo was fire
Yukes and THQ were the best combo
You better be careful using Benoit. He might actually kill the poor bastard.
🤣🤦🤣🤣🤣
Bro why they doin Earl Hebner like this lmao 😂😂😂
Best rasslin game ever, wasted half my childhood playing this
U2 bro? Lol
I played the hell out of these games as a kid such good times.
Nostalgia 😅😅
no matter how much punishment the ref takes, he can never be pinned.
When I was a kid this was fun to make ref mad and he would leave lol😂
That RKO Big boot😭
That Swanton in the beginning was perfect
1:36 look how they massacred my boy
Lmao 🤣
Is that a godfather reference?
Which game mode is this ??
I literally read the title and laughed out loud. That was a funny title. 😂
This game looks so sick bruh ..I know I woulda thoroughly enjoyed it as a kid
That Swanton defied physics. 🤣🤣 Probably one of the few redeeming qualities about today's games is that he would have landed the correct way.
3:42 *SEVERE BRAIN DAMAGE INTENSIFIES*
1:41 😂 Taker just.. _tosses_ the ref into electrical circuits! 😆..hilarious
Bro took him to the circuit
This game till this day has the best animations for individual superstars and their respective move set
It's too bad you were forced to do a pin with certain moves. lol
Who does that ref think he is? Dude kicks out at 1 on every finisher! Not even Hogan's ego was that high.
I'm glad he finally stood up for himself after getting beaten up like 50 times.
😭😭😭 my childhood 😭❤️ take me back!!! 😪
1:20 I see Brett Hart hired Goldberg to take care of Earl Hebner...
When ALL wrestlers on the ring finally snap after the ref makes one too many silly decisions… 😂
This is the best wwe game ever
"I'm going on strike"
*Loud cheers*
3:41 no Benoit, no! Don't do it!
If only someone had said this to him
And he did the exact taunt when he did that thing too
That RKO Big Boot was amazing
Well here is a tip
Do a first blood match and select kane or kevin nash with 2 players
Beat each other up with your head red( ie one move to make u bleed)
After that hit refree with kevin nash or kane's finisher( Smack down move L1)
Make sure he blocks it though ( he has to block your move for this)
You will be surprised of what u will see
i remember that,there will be two referee 😂
@@fikzgaming279 yes i still play this on weekends at my house with my friends
And playing it on a real ps2 is a better experience than playing it on pcsx2
If the Montreal screw job didn't stop him from quitting...this sure will.
