Version History:
- Version 1.0, 03/31/03 - Added one of the promoters (Tex) to the Movelist section, added Attacks section and completed the Ready moves for it, and updated the Career Mode section.
- Version 0.9, 03/30/03 - This FAQ is getting a lot bigger than I expected it would. Movelist updates: added Sags, Sammartino, Santana, Sid, Steamboat, Steele, Studd, Superfly, Terry Funk, The Brain, The Sheik, Tony Atlas, Valentine, Volkoff, Wizard, and Wonderful. That completes the legends' movesets, now I have to dig out the six promoters' movesets on my own. Expect those in the next update, among other things.
- Version 0.8, 03/26/03 - Corrected some minor errors throughout. Movelist updates: added One Man Gang, Owen Hart, Pillman, Piper, Putski, Rick Steiner, Race, Rocky, Scott Steiner, and Sabu. Future planning for the FAQ: I'll be adding a moves section (describes all of the wrestling moves and holds in the game, much like the wrestler descriptions section) and a main menu section describing all of the options, and maybe a simple Create-A-Legend section, but nothing big.
- Version 0.7, 03/24/03 - Movelist updates: added Iron Sheik, Jimmy Hart, Kaufman, Kerry, Kevin, King Kong Bundy, Knobbs, Koko, Koloff, Kowalski, Lawler, Martel, Mascaras, Michael, Morton, Mr. Fuji, and Muraco.
- Version 0.6, 03/22/03 - Changed a mistake with Bret Hart in the Wrestler Description section as pointed out by someone via e-mail. Thanks Spencer. Movelist updates: added Dory Funk, Dr. Death, Dynamite Kid, Fritz, Gibson, Graham, Guerrero, Hacksaw, Hawk, Hogan, and Hot Stuff. I've done all I can for the day, time to send this in before my eyeballs dry out.
- Version 0.5, 03/20/03 - Movelist updates: added Bam Bam, Baron, Bob Orton, Bret Hart, British Bulldog, David, and Dibiase.
- Version 0.4, 03/17/03 - Added the Credits, Copyright Notice, and Disclaimer sections. Added Abdullah, Albano, Andre, Animal, and Backlund to the Movelist section. I know it's nowhere near finished, but I went ahead and sent it in so I'd have SOMETHING up there, as it's better than nothing.
- Version 0.3, 03/16/03 - Now it's been a while since I've updated this, but I didn't start again until I picked up the game. I finished the wrestler descriptions and added the Shop Mode and Career Mode sections, plus started on the Movelist section. After I get around 10 movelists I'll send this in with the next version.
- Version 0.2, 11/19/02 - Hey wow, exactly one month after my first release. In this update, I organized the descriptions into alphabetical order and completed descriptions for almost all of the wrestlers.
- Version 0.1, 10/19/02 - Added wrestler descriptions.
Description of Wrestlers:
Old school wrestling is where my passion for the sport lies. So, in this section I will give you a brief description of each wrestler. Most of this information is taken directly from my mind from watching countless classic WWF tapes, but any information derived from an outside source shall be cited. Acclaim has listed some character bios on their website, and I am using some of them as a source. Most of this will also be from each wrestler's career in the WWF, as that is where my main focus always lied. I will do my best to touch up on other federations each wrestler has been in. They are arranged in alphabetical order.
If you see a mistake of fact, please e-mail me. Please also provide some sort of documentation to back up what you say. If I confirm what you say, I'll add it here and credit you.
~Abdullah the Butcher~
The "Madman of the Sudan" always gave his fans a bloodfest when he came into the ring. He traveled throughout many promotions and was never content to stay in one, winning multiple titles in each. He wrestled for over 50 years and is still considered to be one of the most violent and brutal competitors to ever brace the squared circle. His most brutal matches were with the Sheik. The Butcher will always be remembered not for winning, but for punishing his opponents as much as he possibly could.
~Andre the Giant (R.I.P.)~
Andre the Giant was one of the most popular and most devastating men to ever brace the ring. At 7'5", 525 pounds, he was a gentle giant to his fans, but unforgiving to all in the ring. Andre went undefeated for 10 years in the WWF, from 1977 to 1987 when he was defeated by Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania III. The WWF actually made Andre a special oversized championship belt to boost the match, claiming that they did not believe the Hulkster c
