I always enjoyed Kevin Nash encouraging you to pick somebody else. Didn't even want to work more than he had to in a video game

I’m pretty sure some of the wrestlers misunderstood and thought they were being picked as opponents.

like, half of them seem to have been told that, but then you have guys like Nash and Scott Norton and Alex Wright and Piper who are talking about you picking them to play with

WCW being inconsistent with the things it tells it's wrestlers? That's unpossible.

I preferred the PS1 wrestling games to the N64 ones because the N64 ones were all about reversal timing and I couldn't do it so I'd get really mad.

I liked doing a fireball motion to do a suplex or whatever. That was cool, Acclaim.

(The PS1 THQ games didn't seem awful at the time, though.)

You see, I super loved that too.
And the character models were less ugly on the PS1.
All I wanted out of a wrestling game is to make myself and live out my dream of being a pro wrestler.
(And the N64 controller was a poorly designed trash fire)

i like to let the bacon rest on my pancakes instead of syrup. but that's mostly because I steal breakfast from the breakroom in a nearby business. Have to be very quick, you see.

Yeah, but when you're alone there's nobody around to give you the Heimlich when you end up choking on your breakfast. It's a conundrum.

He was in the WCW Thunder videogame, as the guy who yelled "REEEEEEEEESE!" as his only voiced line

Back when Revenge was out, me and my friend played it religiously and it was what drew us into watching WCW to begin with. By the time we were playing the game, the actual Flock was broken up and Reese was phased out, so we knew pretty much nothing about him. I still played as him because there was a fun novelty to the mysterious, mohawked grunge giant.

One day, we're watching some MTV show that was a documentary about the ordinary day for a VJ. There's a part where a tired Jesse Camp or Carson Daly was picking up fan mail and mentioned, "Tyrese gets all the mail." My friend immediately perked up and went, "Reese gets all the mail?!"

From that day on, we'd constantly bring that up while playing Revenge. Reese was tall, knew Raven and was constantly overwhelmed with post office deliveries. That's all we knew. And it was enough.

That is my Reese story.

Here's the match listing for todays from the vault drop. I remember taping this as a kid, make sure you watch this show because it's so loving good. It's Schavonie, Bobby, Dusty, Zybzcko, Mean Gene and Gordon Solie in a hotel room at what appears to be a childrens wcw themed birthday party watching a top 10 clash of the champions countdown.

It's 6 hours, which is the exact time of a home vhs tape. I gotta say with tape trading taking off in the early 90's this was a genius way to promote wcw. And they were smart with the match selection, 8 Flair matches, 2 Hogan matches. It's legitimately a selection of 12 great or cool matches and not about promoting Hogan and his buddies. A lot of these matches have guys that I believe were retired or gone from WCW.

This was absolutely made for smarks at the time and the way Ted Turner loved wrestling it was probably pretty easy to convince the TBS programmers to give up a 6 hour chunk 12:05-6:05 on a saturday or sunday morning instead of showing a couple movies and little rascals reruns.

Turns out both Hogan matches were bonus matches, but pretty cool that they they were both recent ppv matches, his debut cage match against flair and War Games vs the Dungeon of Doom.

There were at least two All-Nighters. The Clash special was the last of them and not the one that you've linked. There were some similar listings such as the 1988 Clash match with Flair and Sting, and the Magnum T.A. confrontation. I think the Mulkeys were on there, too. I have most of the Clash special kicking around on VHS tape somewhere.

I do remember picking up a used copy from a site about 12 years ago for very cheap and realising that Japan has very different ideas about what used games are compared to the rest of the world.

Having played both really my only good memory of them is Bobby Heenan's commentary line about the "greco-roman low blow", which I think was in both but might've only been one of them. Can't remember which.
