"No regard for his (opponent's) safety." Pretty much sums up Goldberg's career.

that Evangelion pronunciation was an underrated highlight of this video

"He's wearing jorts, so he's my enemy." Me too ThaB... Me too.

It’s crazy to think Rey Mysterio is still an active wrestler.

Thab fits so naturally into the thumbnail, I didn't even notice him at first

Its so funny how many times he mentions the horse racing game before he gets it, some seriously ominous foreshadowing.

It's wild to think that this game came out over 25 years ago and Rey Mysterio is still going.

We got Revenge when we got our N64 for Christmas. Still probably my favorite Wrestling game of all time.

"Once in a while someone intereferes in the match and cheats." *Goldberg grabs a weapon*

The disrespect to Meng and Barbarian is off the charts. For putting over how much each move would hurt to take, saying that to them would end up being the last move you ever made.

This is one of those games I never owned but played many times at friend's houses. I miss the days of easy couch multiplayer like that. Just hanging out on my buddy's couch playing some N64

AKI later made DefJam Fight for NY which is one of my all time favorite fighting game. Highly recommend.

When you watch the great race in the end and absolutely forget that this video was originally about a Wrestling game.

OOT just messing with us at this point

I have played your videos so much that my wife can literally quote your entire intro. Now all I have to do is start it by saying "I am beating every N64 game....." then a long pause. She sighs, and is then compelled to finish the rest. Good times

9:18 that sounds like a typical WCW main event of that era to be fair

well, it’s WCW so i definitely can imagine hulk hogan winning the championship on PPV via ring out 😂 they did the finger poke of doom after all

OMG Aero Fighter's Assault was one of my favorite single player games. At the time, the graphics for an aircraft shoot em up was just AMAZING. I spent a stupid amount of time on the second level using the Russian fighter to double tap all the bombers. That mission was so damned fun and beautiful

That thumbnail is LEGENDARY

Ahh, ringout strats. That takes me back!

My buddy Wes and I, used to do our own commentary back in the day. Part of why I remember this game to be so great

Goldberg was my wrestler of choice in that game back in the day as well. He was my favorite and nobody could even come close to beating him on TV at the time.

As a wrestling fan, the inaccuracies in this video were killing me. So glad you finally got to this one, a top tier wrestling game for sure.

Awwwww shiiiiiet. Many many hours on this one. I liked any character that had a ground-pound attack, so satisfying when they'd get a bloody face. Really liked how you had a chance of bloodying their face at any point in the match with a power attack.

Ocarina of Time was really taunting us in the race there at the end. Not yet though, not yet.

My friends and I spent countless hours beating the crap out of each other with random objects from under the ring and the crowd. We never even tried to win. It was just a beat down for us lol

3:38 - I haven't seen Kevin Nash pinned so quickly since the summer of 1992

I legitimately forgot how effing huge of a genre unto itself wrestling games used to be.

Rey Mysterio has been in the ring for so long, he outgrew the "Jr."

Putting your face on Raven just delightful.

Best way to Start into the Weekend ❤️

Played the shit outta this as a kid. Good controls, good customizability, good wrestler selection. Definitely top tier wrestling game.

AKI MAN HOLY CRAP! So many memories. Loved playing as him, Goldberg, and STing.

I was legit worried for Thab's safety when he didnt drop a video last week

By far the game I played the most as a child. I've never lost a single match against anyone in my town back in those days. Probably the only game I was ever better than everyone else at.

11:40 Unlocking Kanyon AND Mortis is a very cool easter egg, as Mortis is just Chris Kanyon wearing a different costume. RIP Chris Kanyon!!

Jorts or not, I'm honestly surprised Thabs doesn't remember Kidman, especially bc i feel like Thabs would like Kidman's "C'est la vie", low-key, laid back character much like the chilled-out, dulcet tones of our favorite Mario & N64 challenge streamer! 😂❤

The thumbnail is perfection

This game defined my teen years. Oh, and the intro with Sting and the truck driver was a reference to Big Trouble in Little China.

0:46 dude me and a buddy would always do the same thing in royal rumble matches but in svr2007 and 2008. Best part is when the rhythm is thrown off when you don’t get the AI out in time then more flood in haha.

Glad you're back Thab!

Hey Thab! Huge wrestling fan here, Perfect choice putting your own face over Raven's in the thumbnail, because Raven doesnt fit in with any of the other 3 in the slightest! Just seems perfect!

I ded at the horse racing meme - looking forward to that one, sort of? Great review of the wrestling game. I never played these games as a kid but they look like so much fun.

So, Rey Mysterio is a part-timer in WWE now, but even after around 30 years as a pro wrestler, he still occasionally wrestles, and his son Dominik is also a wrestler in WWE now. Also, “Kidman” is Billy Kidman. He wrestled, as you saw, first in WCW’s Cruiserweight division, and then was brought over to WWF when they bought WCW after its demise, and wrestled in their Cruiserweight division as well, picking up a couple of WWE Cruiserweight Championship runs along the way, and towards the end of his time in WWE he had a PPV match where he botched his top rope finisher, the Shooting Star Press so bad that it hit his opponent square in the temple with his knee - YIKES. Anyway, the company brilliantly ran with it and made him a heel. He also had a theme song that would’ve been more suited to a crazy wrestler character. He never acted crazy, though, and I always thought it was a waste that “You Can Run” was given to him, as opposed to, oh, I don’t know, a character with an actual crazy person gimmick, like Steven Richards on _RAW_ ?! Just spitballing though. Anyway, last but not least, yes, The Giant/(The) Big Show used a chokeslam for much of his WCW and WWF/WWE career, although once he debuted in early ’99 for the latter (strangely called by his real name, Paul Wight, for about a month), they renamed it the Show Stopper. Anyway, around 2008, he still used it, but had a new finisher, a knockout punch called the W.M.D.

THAB/JORT Revenge: This time it's personal.

Meng punched a guy in real life so hard his eye popped out. That's who Meng is.

This game was AWESOME. So many good memories!

very special memories of WCW vs NWO World Tour and an uncle got us the next game but I'm pretty sure we never got past the 4th level. I know that 2nd place Zelda finish must have been bitter but I'm psyched to see an old unpopular game that I barely remember

9:18 you pretty much just summed up exactly how WCW ppv main events were back then...

Yeah Hogan's Finisher in this was always strange. His real life Finisher is the running Leg Drop. But because finishers at this time didn't have Running options, they had to give him something in his front position...and for whatever reason, chose the Flair Flop (it's something Ric Flair was famous for doing...but not as a finisher). Then again, during this time in the real WCW, Hogan just had an nWo member interfere during every match anyways.

Ill never forget on y2k day. My brother went out with our father and i was gaming. We played for months not knowing how to do the finisher. I was determined to figure it out and finally did. When i suprised him by doing it, talk about a moment ill never forget. I love seeing people shocked happy. We went to the boys and girls club for a bit and dominated everyone, never getting off the controller 😂

The marble racing is low-key my favorite part

Kanyon debuted in WCW as Mortis. He wore a mask…he got hurt and when he came back he wrestled without the mask as Kanyon

This is one of the best wrestling games ever made. Raven was my go to

Rey Mysterio Jr's finisher is not the 619 in this game. He started using that finisher later in his career when he went to WWE. The finisher you were doing is the tornado DDT. And that's not his ACTUAL finisher. He has a corner finisher. Thrown your opponent into the corner and then grapple him and do your special move and he does a top rope hurricanrana. All the wrestlers have multiple special moves in this game. Some may only have the front and behind special, but some have a corner and a top rope special as well.

At the time, I didn't know about a lot of wrestlers in WCW, so my brother and I would change the names and costumes of some of the roster. Alex Wright got his costume changed to Kevin Nash's but with green, and he looked like Randy Travis, so he got renamed to "Macho Man Randy Travis". 😂

8:48 That's exactly what Ric Flair's special would be, I guess they let other wrestlers use each other's moves, either that or it's a HUGE oversight to give someone's move to the wrong guy.

Keep it up MrB! I can't watch live, and I don't get to watch every Friday. But I've been following on KZfaq for a long time now. I look forward to these. Lending you some energy.

Nice video, also the marble race was a cherry on top this time

One of my favorite N64 games growing up! Me and my brother would play this for hours having crazy royal rumbles!!

This was a fun game when I would rent it from my local video store in my neighborhood when I was seven and I was a huge wrestling fan as a kid,I was fan of WCW vs NWO World Tour a lot more than Revenge.

Kevin Nash is probably giving the 2Sweet to the crowd in the taunt, but the game doesn't animate fingers lol

Loved this game...this was my favoite wrestling game from the 64...and i always played as THQ MAN so thank you chat at 6:03

Aerofighters Again was one of my favorites as a kid. There are some fun cheats and secrets in the game as well

9:33 WCW would have pulled a stunt like that, to be fair.

I want a rigged ball race where OoT comes in second every single time. The excitement was tantalizing.

For those unaware, this game is still held in high regard among old wrestling fans

OOT getting second in marbles was such a tease 😂

This. This is the wrestling game I played growing up. Thanks for the vid Thab!!! Have a great day everyone!!!

I’ve seen all from 1980-Now I enjoy these N64 wrestling games Virtual Pro Wrestling 1 and 2 World Tour Revenge Wrestlemania 2000 and No Mercy

7:08. That’s not a 619, it’s a Tornado DDT. Rey didn’t create the 619 until he came to WWE

This was one of my favorite N64 games .. been a minute since I watched one of these can’t wait to binge and catch up

Revenge was a key title (with OoT) in one of my first gaming all nighters as a youngun. Loved World Tour to death but Revenge was a major step up.

This is the one I’ve been waiting for. This game was an absolute banger.

One of my all time favorites- love it way more than No Mercy, even though it’s more primitive.

8:25 the irony being that Bill Goldberg (which Bret Hart refuses to call him anything other than), ended Bret Harts career with a kick to the head

the backwards throw move is a dragon suplex, golberg never did something that technical lol

This is one of my favorite n 64 game memories from my childhood along with Starfox 64 becuase the multiplayer was so damn fun. Loved this game.

I loved this game as a kid specially the fact Goldberg spear wasn't a finisher but damn was it amazing.

All I have to say to the "to those who know" at the end....ba-na-na banana.

I think I put more time into this game than any other game I’ve ever played. I remember playing this for months without realizing the middle stick was how to do finishers

This was one of the first video games I ever played. So nostalgic.

Dang I forgot how many wrestling games 64 had! This is the one I remember most. My brother ended up getting Goldbergs arm tattoo lol

Oh hell yeah Thab this is a much more convenient upload time here in Australia. You used to upload at like 1am, but 11pm is much better!

I remember the easiest way to win every match was to get them out of the ring and beat them up so much they couldn't get up in time to beat the count.

I have never been interested in wrestling games or wrestling itself for that matter, but still find Thab’s videos on the topic massively entertaining!

Mannnn I wish they would make a game with this gameplay with modern wrestlers….would be so amazing. Loved these games!! Especially wrestlemania 2000

"the spear is the only thing I remember him being able to do" correct

They do have a block actually. The L and R buttons act as block against attacks and dodge against a grapple. Also if you hold either L or R (sorry can't remember) and press B, you can hit them when you're getting up from being knocked down

This marble race was absolutely wild 😂

I dont know, I might be just as excited to see the thumbnails of these videos now lmao

I was only listening to this vi!eo and the marble race at the end was epic, great commentary

3 and a half minutes, longer than every other goldberg match in real life.

Love that shoutout to the hose racing game.

We really going to do this every other week? Man... I'll come back in a year maybe.

Nitro, Wm 2000 and No Mercy. Legendary games.

I watched the opening video for this game for the first time in 20 years and it reminds me of king of fighters opening videos

That isn't actually reys finisher, the 619 wasn't popularized until his WWE days and it's him having an opponent slumped on the second rope and he runs and swings his legs through the ropes on to their face. Even if he did this move in WCW it wouldn't have been easy to animate in 1997 The reason they likely changed Nash's tuant was that he never did the should stretch, it was just an animation they gave him.

I remember doing constant submission moves until I heard a bone break or a tap out.
