Gonna be a good Friday when you hear " I am beating every N64 game..."

Poor Thab not realising you have to look at the guy pinning to kick him off in the three way

_WWF WrestleMania 2000_ is definitely the second best N64 console pro wrestling game. Just wait until you get to play _WWF No Mercy_ , the sequel to it. Best pro wrestling game hands down -- you will *NOT* be disappointed.

The N64 era was from 1996 to 2001 - 7 years ... there are 5 Madden NFL games, 4 NFL Blitz games and 4 NFL Quarterback Club games. 7 years, 13 NFL titles.

that utter look of shock when andre the giant did the big pull

Kane and undertaker were brothers in the story at this time, which is why they have the same finisher

That Dude Love bit means you've unlocked him.

I remember several months ago, Thab told us to join his Twitch streams because he's playing Banjo Kazooie. He's so far ahead that we STILL haven't seen that video 😂

i have gone 15 years without thinking about Saturday Night Slam Masters, thanks Thab for bringing back those memories!

In the 3 way matches you had to switch to who you were targeting. To stop the computer from stealing your pin. You had to target the 1 who was pinning.

Look at those graphics. They actually added in Print Albert's shoulder hair.

WrestleMania 2000 is a classic and super underrated.

That Madden Game did not want to lose.. From the very beginning till the very end.

The Blue Meanie is awesome. He started in ECW and was leader of the BWO (Blue World Order).

Kane has the "Over the Top" ring entry animation. Its the slowest one by a wide margin.

“I hate 3 ways” 😅🤣

Thab slowly developing an appreciation for wrestling the further he gets in this challenge is great.

4:43 it's an "assisted Powerbomb" Undertakers ropewalk is simply called "oldschool".

I’m watching every single one of these videos, and I mean all of them.

He is beating every N64 game, and he means all of them. Twist is this week he's doing a two for one so it's gonna be one hell of a ride.

My Fridays are not complete without hearing "..and I mean all of them." Thanks for your dedication Thab!

Your character gave Droz the tombstone. That hit hard

Test was the boyfriend of Stephanie McMahon. (STORY WISE). The man died in 2009. RIP.

6:50 I think I noticed this with another AKI wrestling game you played, but you have a tendency to pick the biggest, tallest dudes, who all have the slowest ring entrance speeds. I don't know if you've already played No Mercy by the time you recorded this, but if you do, and it asks you to choose a partner, consider choosing a smaller partner like Taka Michinoku, who jumps over the top rope into the ring and is faster than even the medium sized guys.

" I hadn't felt rage like that since middleschool" 😆

"I knocked Meat around a bit more" lol

Regarding the Undertaker's taunt, the game can't really render it but in real life when he tilted his head back, he'd roll his eyes up so you could only see the whites of them. It went with his whole gimmick of being a literal undead monster. ... who later on would be huge into motorcycles, American flags, and Limp Bizkit.

Any other Wrestling fans bothered that going through the ropes or under the bottom rope counts as an elimination in the Royal Rumble and Battle Royale modes?

That move by undertaker walking on the ropes is called "Old school". Favorite wrestler of all time.

Droz, Test, Brian Christopher... lotta guys that died way too young in this video.

Also, I could be wrong, but in order to just roll credits I don't think you need to beat those Battle Royales. It leads to a different ending I believe, but you still go all the way to Wrestlemania (WM2000) or Champion Carnival (VPW2)

Man this brings back some memories. I moved out shortly after 2000 and was never able to afford cable so I couldn't watch pretty much any wrestling. My friends and I loved this game and the NWO game. Those were the days

WrestleMania 2000 is still in my N64, this is one of my all-time favorite video games!

For a kid who loved wrasslin with unlimited time back when this came out, it changed my life. I still remember memorizing every move, unlocking every secret, ahhh. Watching someone play it and discovering it all this time later is surreal!

Sorry, I’m confused. When he says he’s beating every N64 game, does he mean all of them?

Man, that Marbles race was something.

Played a ton of Wrestlemania 2000 in the olden days. I remember you could fully edit all the real wrestlers and taking off Kane's mask basically turned his face into a piece of charcoal (since the storyline reason he wore the mask was because the Undertaker burned down his home as a child and he was all burnt up)

The key to keeping it more manageable is losing the title matches. Most of the unnecessary matches are title defenses for belts like the European championship which doesn’t impact the ability to beat the game.

Wrestling fan here. It's very amusing watching you play this game and not know much about wrestling. These games were my childhood, the AKI games stand above them all.

The disappointment on the face when he saw madden be the next game 😂

Thank you for finally doing a good game! Haha It's funny watching you, a non wrestling fan, getting frustrated with these matches taking so long. I remember as a 13 year old having such a blast playing through this game. The matches were so long and difficult. No Mercy is even harder. Mick Foley was almost impossible to beat in that one.

"I hate 3 ways"...

All I want for my birthday this year is for Thab to pop out of a cake, dressed in his train engineer uniform and sing me Happy Birthday.

I loved Vader in Boy Meets World

What me and my friends did as kids for the tag matches, is beat them up outside until the ref counts to 9, then run back in. opponent gets counted out at 10 for a quick win. Also quite interesting you picked Johnny Ace of all people as your partner.

Slam masters for the snes was a classic as well!! Best wrestling game for snes for sure!!

Sometimes I'm nostalgic about Vader's earlier career when he went by Anakin.

Can't unsee anymore that Big Show is carrying a screaming chihuhua an the front cover.

"Can we get something to prevent this from happening, no we can not!"

Thanks for being a wholesome content creator. I always look forward to your stuff. Goemon was the one I looked forward to the most, but still excited about titles yet to come. Keep up the good work :)

“Madden 2000 put yo face in the grass. And your pride in the dirt, so put on a skirt, if you come on the field and don’t wanna get hurt. Just bruised and beaten, all black and blue, and it’s been like that since madden 92. You better come harder than hard, rougher than rough. Put up your guard, get ready to crush. There’s things in this game that you just can’t change. EA sports, it’s in the game. What you want? The rock in the palm of my hand. What you got? I got John madden “

Hard mode in this game was HARD

His face on WrestleMania 2000 has me in tears 🤣

22:38 the old school crowd and animated ref are holdovers from WCW/nWo Revenge. kind of a hybrid game VPW2 has elements of both Revenge and Wrestlemania 2000 as it came in between.

Giving WM2000 a 5/10 for enjoyability when the score is based on the single player career mode is more than fair. Those AKI games were made for 2-4 players, and for 1 player spending hours doing nothing but tinkering with a CAW

26:37 Marble racers. That was awesome

Phew, I'm finally caught up after watching every video in the list so far. And I mean all of them!

I love hearing how he's more and more researched on these games as the challenge goes on. The trivia at the beginning is always so cool for the history.

"After a bit of a beatdown, meat tagged out." That is indeed what happens

Respect for having the patience to go all the way through the rumble without save states. Never had the patience for that. Emulator with intermediate saves after each elimination makes it a lot more bearable :D Also I'm not sure what needs to be won or can be lost in order for the road to be complete. I think if you're WWF champion after mania, you should be good either way 🤔

Solid video Thab!!

i think the Dude Love thing was a character unlock

Good news is No Mercy doesn’t force you to play nearly that many matches. It has story mode for each belt and there’s a handful of matches. But some of the set ups suck. I do believe the Royal Rumble is in the Heavyweight one and you have to do the whole thing if I remember correctly. Customizing is better in it for sure as well. Also some notes from the video: -Kane and Undertaker are brothers in storyline. Hints why they have similar moves. Undertaker changes his gimmick in No Mercy so he has a new finisher, The Last Ride. -Kane was slower getting into the ring due to the animation of stepping over the top rope versus going through the middle. All big wrestlers do this and it’s the same in No Mercy. Smaller equals faster and bigger equals slower for a lot of the stuff. -Dude Love, Cactus Jack and Mankind are all the same guy, Mick Foley. It’s all his different gimmicks/personalities. -That double team move in the triple threat was a power bomb but the other guy did an assist. Sorry for the long post. Looking forward to No Mercy!

Jesus thought Madden was done after the washing machine then bam out of nowhere

Currently trying to sleep & just remembered I forgot to comment to help with analytics and such; so here it is

This game was awesome as a kid, spent so long customising a terrifying wrestler with all those different moves.

You’ve been at this a while. Crazy. Btw I loved this game, Character creator was great for the time.

I come mostly for the marble race and I never would've thought this one ended the way it did

Been waiting for this one,I remember being amazed by the graphics in wrestle mania 2000

Out of context Thab: “I hate three ways”

Great shout-out to SOCOM II. Loved playing that back in the day!!

X-pacs move is called The ultimate teabag 🍒

You made the kid from back at the barnyard lol

I've been waiting for this one to come up.

I love the blatantness of the score you gave it. "yes I'm biased, the game fucked me. so im gonna fuck it right back."

It’s recommended a person chains their moves based on the opponents relative health, just like in a real match. That way you avoid reversals. EG strikes, standard grapple moves, then strong grapples. In that order. You can also throw the opponent repeatedly outside the ring and spam taunts inside the ring. Highly effective to get your special ready.

Gunna be a great day! THAB posted

theres a lot of universal things with these aki wrestling games. you can hold block and your character will get up crouching. letting you either punch or grab or press l to roll back R is to block and you can also reverse with it by pressing it on an attack, kind of like a parry. i think up c? flips the character , you can also do this on the corner to flip them for the tree of woo. theres so many nuances with these aki games that make them fun. these work on their newer games too. like def jam vendetta, and aew wrestling game

What's cool about Wrestlemania 2000 that was toned down in the sequel is that you can counter everything, even counters... you can get into endless counter chains

That royal rumble loss was devastating. I felt that pain

Thanks for another great video 👍🧙‍♂️

Kane had the Tombstone too when he started as The Deadmans brother from Hell brought back by Paul Bearer. Anyway, I'm only here for the marble race. You should give us a start time for the marbles at the beginning.

Arm Twist Ropewalk Chop... love to see it. Old School!

I might be unpopular for this suggestion lol But we should totally make last place in the marble race for the next game....just for shats and giggles

12:16 “I hate three ways.” Thab out of context quote of the match.

I hope everyone is having a good Friday!

Sadly Draz irl was paralyzed by a tombstone. Crazy.

I remember playing WrestleMania 2000 and i had to fight the Undertaker for the belt. Fukn hell he was invincible! Like 5 different attempts with matches lasting from 30mins - 1hr. Very enjoyable.

"This guy sucks" - accurate description of Vince McMahon, to be sure

Man seeing Droz in this game makes me sad. He had such a bright career in front of him just to get paralyzed in a freak accident. I cant imagine being D'Lo Brown and living with that guilt.

I commend you for such a long and draining grind in the RTWM mode.

I think my first episode I watched was #17, it’s been my favorite watch first thing on Fridays. And now I know how to play Mah-Jong

I can’t believe that Madden led the marble race the whole way through.

The DX titantron with Cactus Jack's music is cursed

Beat em thab! Beat em all. 😂

@9:20 the problem is that the wrestlers AREN'T doing the same animation. Both Kane and Undertaker thematically come in over the top rope while most of the other wrestlers go between the second and third, which has a faster animation.

1) It may be controversial but I like WM2000 more than No Mercy. The customizable belts and Blue Meanie put it over the top for me. 2) I used to be The Scorpion from Saturday Night Slam Masters in a wrestling e-fed back when I was in like.middle school

I'm world champion (undefeated) 2001 at No Mercy and this game. Congrats. Legend in your comments.

ITS TIME! ITS TIME! ITS... VADER... TIME!

Vpw2 is the best n64 game. I logged well over 2000 hours with it
