I don't know about anyone else, but I often find myself wondering "Now which SD/SVR game was it that had 'x' again?", when thinking of an old match type, game mode, legend character etc. I thought it might be a cool idea to do a game-by-game comparison using our collective memories.
- Last game for Bull Bucannon, Chyna, Dean Malenko and Perry Saturn.
CREATION:
MATCH TYPES & GAME MODES:
- Only game for Slobber Knocker Anywhere match.
GAMEPLAY:
- Pressing SELECT in a tag match will allow you to control your tag partner.
ROSTER & LEGENDS:
- Scott Hall removed and replaced with Xpac in nWo Season Mode cut-scenes. Some report being able to hack him into the cut-scenes only, but I have never seen proof.
CREATION:
- CAW: 32 slots
- Create A Moveset
- Create A Taunt
MATCH TYPES & GAME MODES:
- Pressing SELECT in a tag match will allow you to control your tag partner.

- Last game for Slobber Knocker.
GAMEPLAY:
ROSTER & LEGENDS:

- 2003 Hulk Hogan, 80s Hulk Hogan, nWo Hollywood Hogan, Mr America, Billy Gunn, Jeff Hardy, Classic Jerry Lawler, Ultimate Warrior and possibly even Ken Shamrock (credits video) were supposed to be included in the game - but were pulled due to disagreements with WWE at the time. Entrance/Winning Moves for Billy Gunn, Hogan and Warrior were later hacked in.
