| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | This must be HH's new Fed that he has been rumored to have been starting up LOL!! It's sounds like an OK game, but George the Animal Steele? Captain Lou Albano? These names are synonymous with wrestling of the 80's. Hogan had a comeback in the 90's, but do you really think his name alone is strong enough to make this a high-selling game? I would personally prefer a WWF game with current superstars than to play a game with the "oldies". It's a great novelty idea, but I don't think it will be as successful as any current WWF game.

Every Acclaim game has honestly been the same shit with some new moves, skins, maybe some matches. The chataracters look like SHIT too. Very stiff. All basically the same. Arms and legs - do they move? Nah, not that much. I hope they worked allllll that shit out.  Me droogies: Noellevious.... she's made me so proud. Two positions available.

| Psychopath Registered: Dec. 00 | I'm a little skeptical about this game. I worked for Acclaim in the past as a game tester and I thought it would be fun........nope. Their games are absolutely horrible. The controls suck, the graphics suck.....pretty much everything to do with Acclaim sucks. I'm hoping tey changed their format for this game cause the concept sounds pretty cool. I just wish that THQ would have thought of it first. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | I for one am really looking forward to this game. I have read things about it, and the game control is supposed to be very un-acclaim like. They also changed the entire look from their previous games from what i have read. I just hope that it is a good game, cause i could use a great wrestling game...anyone have any other games that are already out for ps2 or dreamcast?? AIM: SkiT4you | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 01 | i have a feeling this game won't sell lots, there aren't many wrestling fans these days that have even heard of ricky steamboat or george steele, so i don't think many will get this game unless a couple of the present stars are on it | ||||
