Update History
==============

October 15
Updated the FAQs section and the e-mail section.

September 15
Nightwolf mailed me back with more moves; they can be found in the 
characters section once again.

September 8
I have added a bunch of profiles for the EWF and DAW characters thanks
to Nightwolf, in the character backgrounds section (also see credits).

September 6
I added two more FAQs to the FAQs section that were submitted this time.
They are easy to spot; they're the last two in the FAQ section. I also 
added another helpful e-mail to the mail section.

August 12
I've finally added the character background and finishers for the EWF
and DAW!

July 29 
Alright, I added character backgrounds, and being that I don't have the
finishers yet for the DAW and EWF characters, there will be one more
update to this FAQ soon.......

I also added the e-mail section with another e-mail which includes a 
question with my answer. 

In addition, the stable/division war is update as I noticed a mistake in
the orders.

Note: The character background are also a sepearate document on GameFAQs
(hopefully). Please do not e-mail me about the attributes or the
character analysis'. Thanks.

July 23 
This FAQ will be coming to an end at version 1.8. The only thing else I
could possibly add is a bunch of move lists, but my explanation
for not doing that can be located in the introduction. Here's
what was updated:

- The introduction with a reminder not to e-mail me regarding
this game.

- The FAQ with a bunch of answers to questions that I previously
missed.

- The moves sections which now lists some of the extra special
stuff you can do with some characters.

- The 'What's Different?' section with some more stuff added.

MY SPECIAL REQUEST is for someone with a Game Shark to enter this
code: 8107F07C FFFF and make a move list for Wrath. I am wondering
if his finisher is the melt down and what kind of other moves he
has. Thanks.

It was fun while it lasted people..... Thanks to everyone that
contributed (see credits).

July 21 - I added another e-mail to the e-mail section. It should
actually be in the FAQ section because I answered the question,
but it's somewhat long and belongs in a seperate section. I also added
some Game Shark codes, a message in the intro saying why I will not
make move lists, and a new section (#17) that lists what's different
from World Tour.

July 16 - I updated *every* section (no joke).

July 1, 1999 - This was the first FAQ I've ever written, and I wrote it
several months ago. After the next update, there is nothing else
to add or do to this FAQ. 

So here's the updates for today:

- I added the e-mail I recieved to the intro. I had nowhere else to put
it and I didn't really think that it belonged in the update history
section. 
- Also, my friend sent me a review of the game so what the hell, it's also
in the intro section.

In the next version (the last by the way), I will change the layout
of this FAQ, and add some stuff about moonsaults, the DAW, EWF, more
creations, that type of thing.... Basically just add anything that
isn't already here.

June 28, 1999 - I recieved an e-mail about a week ago with a lot of
stuff regarding WCW/NWO Revenge. I've added it to the intro section
because I had nowhere else to put it. I recommend checking it out;
it's got a lot of good stuff in it.

March 5, 1999 - I added two new section, the Good and Bad List, and I updated
the creations section, but I guess you can say I added it because I finished
putting in the other guys. This may be all for this FAQ, but I'm not sure.

February 14, 1999 - Version 1.1 is here. I updated the creation section by 
adding 47 wrestlers, throughout 4 different categories. I also added some 
more secrets and tips. I have made a creations section for celebrities and 
old wrestlers. These are hard to make, and I only have 3 now, but I'll add 
an entire batch of them for my next update.

January 14, 1999 - Version 1.0 is finally here. It has a lot of helpful 
sections and it took a long time to type up. I am working hard on character
guides for every, yes, every character and I am editing the secrets section.
Your patience is requested. Thanks.

1. Introduction
---------------------------------

Welcome to my WCW/NWO Revenge FAQ. Though I did not include a move list or
a character guide for every character in the game (some people have done
so for World Tour) I *do* have a lot of stuff here. You shouldn't have
any trouble finding something that you need. If you are looking for move
lists/characters FAQs, go to GameFAQs because
they have seperate guides for every character.

My e-mail address is at the top of the page, but please note that this FAQ
will no longer be updated, so mailing me playing tips and or hints will
be a waste of time (thanks anyway though ;). Any questions/concerns you have
about the game or this FAQ will be accepted, so go ahead and fire away,
as long as you read the FAQ first!

Hey, I now have character backgrounds in this guide!

NEW MESSAGE:
Why I will not write Move Lists

There are over 40 wrestlers in Revenge, and over 400 different possible
moves. I do not have the time or interest to sit down for hours and write
everyone's moves then type them up. If you want character guides, go to
GameFAQs. Thanks.

ANOTHER NEW MESSAGE:
Why you should not mail me regarding Revenge

This FAQ is almost complete. There is nothing else that I can put. 
Please do not mail me if it is about this game. Thank you.
					 

2. Controls
---------------------------------

Analog Stick - Believe it or not, you do not move with this at all in 
the game. This allows you to taunt during the game, and you press it
in a strong grapple to perform your finisher when on special (taunting
allows you to get on special). Also, this allows you to spin the 
character around and view his entire body when selecting your character
or creating a player.

Control Pad - Press the direction you want to move. Also, ou use this
to select your character and game mode.

A Button - Performs your grapple. If you hold it and grab your opponent,
it's a strong grapple. If you press it to immediately grab your
opponent, it's a weak grapple. This also allows you to swing your weapon
at an opponent.

B Button - Performs your basic punch and kick moves. You also use the
strong/weak grapple concept here. Tapping the B Button will do a punch
or kick (depending on the distance between you and your opponent) while
holding the B Button will perform a take down or strong clothesline of
some sort.

C Down Button - When in a grapple, you press this button to whip your
opponent. When out of a grapple, you use this button to run.

C Up Button - Go up to the guard rail and press this button to get a 
weapon (you only get weapons sometimes unless you are Sting or Hogan).



3. Frequently Asked Questions
---------------------------------

Q: What is the strong grapple / weak grapple concept?

A: Though this is very hard to explain in words, I had to add it because if 
you don't know how to strong grapple you'll never be very good. In Revenge, 
the action of tieing up your opponent is called a grapple. There are strong
grapples and weak grapples. Weak grapples will give you good moves, mostly
basics, but they won't hurt your opponent as much as a strong grapple, and 
you need to know how to strong grapple in order to pull off your finisher. To
weak grapple, simply walk up to your opponent and tap A. You will tie up your
opponent and you can then pull off a move from it. To strong grapple, do the 
same, only when you approach your opponent, don't tap A, hold it down so that
you're holding it while tieing up your opponent. That is a strong grapple and
you can now perform better moves that with weak grapples. For instance, if 
you weak grapple and push B you usually get a punch to the face, or the back 
or something. But with a strong grapple, pressing B can pull off DDTs, power-
slams and other various moves that can cause more damage to your opponent. 
You also need to strong grapple to pull off your finisher, but I answer that 
in the next question.

Q: How do you perform your finisher? Your opponents finisher?

A: In order to do your own finisher, wait until your spirit meter flashes 
"Special" on it. You can make your meter go on special by pulling off good
moves versus your opponent and taunting. When your spirit meter is on dark 
red and is flashing, simply tap the analog stick and you'll be on special.
(Tapping the analog stick is how you taunt.) When on special, strong grapple
your opponent (see the above question for strong grappling info) and tap the
analog stick. After hitting the analog stick, your finisher will 
automatically be done. You can also use your opponents finisher against him!
This is extremely easy. When on special, grapple your opponent (weak or 
strong but weak is much easier) and press A and B at the same time. This will
automatically make you do your opponents finisher to him. For instance, if 
you're Hulk Hogan versus Bill Goldberg, follow that procedure and Hogan will
jackhammer Goldberg!

Q: Where are the Four Horsemen?

A: Sorry, this game was made when Ric Flair vanished, and Arn Anderson and 
Mongo disappeared for awhile. It is 99.9% positive that the horsemen will be 
in the next game considering their real life popularity. However, Chris 
Benoit and Dean Malenko are in the game; they're the only horsemen in it.

Q: Why is Raven's Flock in the game?

A: The flock broke up at Fall Brawl in mid September. By that time, the game
was too close to its realease date so it couldn't be changed.

Q: Why doesn't Eric Bischoff grapple?

A: Eric Bischoff in real life is a karate fighter; he doesn't grapple in real
life, so it's very realistic that he doesn't grapple in the game. If you 
choose to be Bischoff in the game, every time you press A to grapple, he will
pull off a karate kick or punch of some sort. For those of you who are WWF 
fans that have the game, be Bischoff and go up to your opponent and hold A 
down. He will perform a Shawn-Michaels-like "Sweet Chin Music" kick.... Very
cool.

Q: Where is the Warrior?

A: Once again, I'm sorry, but the game was too far in development when
the Warrior returned to WCW (September of 1998).

Q: What character do you recommend for me?

A: Check out the character backgrounds and you should be able to determine
that for yourself.

=================================
New Q's (Submitted) 8/31/99
=================================

Q: Hi, first I'd like to say you have a pretty cool and indepth faq for 
revenge. I have one question though. If you watch the intro look at the 
part after ultimo dragon does his top rope move and before you see raven 
sit down, there is a part you see  juvi and Jekel are doing a tag team move 
on some guy (LODI style one guy holds the opponent one his shoulders and 
the other clotheslines from the top rope)  I've seen the cpu do it on me 
but how? I've tried to figure this out please help.  Thank you ~James

A: You'll need to have a tag team partner..... An actual human tag team
partner. Either join up with a friend in a 2 on 1 handicap or a normal
tag match. Have one of you walk up to your opponent's back and press C-Up
to get him on your shoulders. Then have the other partner climb the top
rope as usual and he will clothesline him off.

Q: props for your faq. nice job. could you please tell me how to
counter throws. i got serious problems with the timing and don`t
know how to reversal.

A: Keep working on your timing....... Also check out the Move Stealing
FAQ for Revenge at GameFAQs.... It should answer all your questions.

Q: does any one in the game brain bust or ddt from the top rope.

A: No, I wish. But a bunch of guys superplex; I guess that's as close as
you'll get.

Q: Dear Crippler,

             I was wondering if you knew how to do the
move with konnan.  It's the one that X-Pac does and
thats THe X-Factor and konnan does it too. I was
wondering if you knew how to do it. If you do then
E-mail me and even if you don't just let me know.

A: Nope, unfortunately, it's not possible to do in this game. But if
you are wondering about other character's moves check out my character
backgrounds FAQ or go to GameFAQs and check out one of the many move
lists.

Q: Hi on wcw nwo how do you do the buffbuster? I will like to know I 
try and try but never get it!!!!!!!

A: Be Buff Bagwell, get on special, mske sure that you WEAK grapple,
whip your opponent into the corner, strong grapple, and tap the analog
stick, then he does it automatically.

---------------------------------

4. Stables / Divisions
---------------------------------

Take a good look at the different stables in this game. In real life WCW, 
stables change all the time...... Guys turn on their stable and go to 
another, or something like that. For instance, the Wolfpac in the game was 
every member in real life, but now it's all changed; a bunch of nWo Hollywood
members are in there now along with Luger and Nash.... And Raven's Flock in
the game, hell, the flock doesn't exist anymore. But anyway, here's the 
stables listed in the game, as they are, in order with same names. Oh yeah, 
and don't confuse stables with divisions (divisions is the next section.) An 
example of a stable is a bunch of guys together in a group, like the Wolfpac,
but go over and look at WCW 1. This is NOT a stable. These guys are 
independent, on their own...... Anyway, here are the stables, and go down to 
the next section for divisions.

***nWo White***

Hollywood Hulk Hogan
The Giant
Brian Adams
Scott Hall
Scott Norton
Buff Bagwell
Eric Bischoff
Scott Steiner
Curt Hennig
_______________________

***nWo Red***

Kevin Nash
Sting
Lex Luger
Macho Man Randy Savage
Konnan
_______________________

***Raven's Flock***

Raven
Lodi
Riggs
Sick Boy
Reese
Kidman
________________________

That's it for the stables. All stables have a leader, the leader in each 
group is the first person listed, meaning the leaders are Hulk Hogan, Kevin
Nash, and Raven.

=====

Remember, a division is not a stable! Everyone listed in the following are 
independent, they're on their own, they're just categorized to make the game
more comprehensible and organized. There are no leaders here!

***WCW 1***
(The Best Wrestlers)

Rowdy Roddy Piper
Diamond Dallas Page
Bill Goldberg
Bret 'The Hitman' Hart
Chris Benoit
Rick Steiner
Fit Finley
Booker T.
________________________

***WCW 2***
(The Second Best Wrestlers)

Saturn
Disco Inferno
Jim Neidhart
The British Bulldog
Glacier
Meng
Van Hammer
Kanyon
________________________

***WCW 3***
(The Left Overs)

Yugi Nagata
Larry Zbysko
The Barbarian
La Parka
Stevie Ray
________________________

***WCW 4***
(The Cruiserweights..... A Bunch Of Great Wrestlers In Here)

Chris Jericho
Eddy Guerrero
Psychosis
Rey Mysterio Jr.
Dean Malenko
Juventud Guerrera
The Untimo Dragon
Chavo Guerrero Jr.
Alex Wright
________________________

Those are the divisions. In WCW 2, some of the wrestlers are jobbers, like
Disco, Neidhart, Bulldog, Glacier, and Van Hammer. And in WCW 4, the two 
cruiserweight jobbers are Alex Wright and Chavo Guerrero Jr. In WCW 4, there
are some extremely good wrestlers like Chris Jericho and Dean Malenko that 
would be in WCW 1, but they're crusiserweights, so they don't qualify.

The EWF and DAW are real divisions in Japan. Here's their names in the
game:

***EWF***

AKI Man / THQ Man (See Section #7)
Shogun
The Executioner
Dr. Frank
Jekel
Maya Inka Boy
________________________

***DAW***

Hawk Hana
Kim Chee
Dake Ken
Brickowski
Ming Chee
Han Zo Mon
________________________

Those are the invented characters and their invented divisions. I don't give
much more info about them in this FAQ, but I figured I may as well let you 
know their names and division name.


The Division / Stable War
---------------------------------
If you took all these stables and divisions and let them fight with their 
stable or division partners, here's the order in which they would win. 
Basically, The Flock and The Wolfpac have no chance because there's only 5
guys in each, but, here's their orders according to me.

9. EWF
8. DAW
7. WCW 3
6. Raven's Flock
5. The Wolfpac
4. WCW 2
3. nWo White
2. WCW 4
1. WCW 1

7/27/99 - I changes the nWo White and WCW 4, because if you think about
it, the cruiserweights would be out-running those guys all over the place.
However, I don't think that WCW 4 could possibly compete with WCW 1.

---------------------------------
---------------------------------

5. Hidden Characters
---------------------------------

There are 6 hidden characters in revenge that you need nothing special to get
them with, just a lot of time and patience, and there's I believe one extra
characters for gameshark. But here's the 6 that you can get simply from the 
game:

Curt Hennig - Win The US Heavyweight Belt
Meng and Barbarian - Win The Tag Team Titles
Billy Kidman - Win The Crusierweight Title

After winning the US Heavuweight belt and the cruiserweight title, two new
championship modes are entered, giving you two more secret characters:

Rowdy Roddy Piper - Win the US Heavyweight Belt then the World Title
Kanyon - Win the Cruiserweight Title then the TV Title

And finally, the last character, a little twist:

Revenge was made by THQ and AKI. Go to the EWF division. The first character
listed is either THQ Man or AKI Man. Press C-Down and the opposite character
will come up...... Very clever, huh?


6. Managers
---------------------------------

Some wrestlers are escorted to the ring with managers or valets. Here is who 
gets escorted and who the manager is. Also, you can play as a manager! Go to
the bottom of this page to see how.

Hollywood Hogan..............Escorted by Eric Bischoff
Scott Hall...................Escorted by Dusty Rhodes
Scott Norton.................Escorted by Vincent
Eric Bischoff................Escorted by Miss Elizabeth
Scott Steiner................Escorted by Vincent
Brian Adams..................Escorted by Vincent
Curt Hennig..................Escorted by Rick Rude
Macho Man Randy Savage.......Escorted by Miss Elizabeth
Diamond Dallas Page..........Escorted by Kimberly
Meng.........................Escorted by Jimmy Hart
Barbarian....................Escorted by Jimmy Hart
Yugi Nagata..................Escorted by Sonny Ono

To play as a manager: You need 4 people playing and 4 controllers. With 4 
controllers plugged in, have a 1 player versus 2 player exhibition match. 
Make sure Player 1 and Player 2 both have escorts with them. When the match 
starts, press Z on the third and fourth controllers. Player 3 and player 4 
will join the match as the escorts

Also, this is a pretty dirty thing to do, but it is fun, you can beat up your
opponents manager. Just leave the ring and walk up to them and face them by
pressing C-Right. Then you can do any move you want to them.... Even your
finisher. But be cautious, sometimes they fight back with a low blow!


7. Finishers
---------------------------------

You really have to be careful here..... I threw in a bunch of twists. You 
should realize a few things here. One, these are the players finishers for 
when you get on special, not their real finisher. For instance, Chris 
Benoit's finisher in real life is the Crippler Cross Face. However, he does
this as a regular move in the game. His special front finisher is a powerbomb
pinning combo, so that's what I list here. Two, I was generous here, if a 
player's finisher is a top rope maneuver, I listed it in along with their 
normal front and back special finisher. And finally, I didn't waste my time
finding finishers for the made up characters. Below are directions for 
pulling off all types of finishers, then the list is under that. 
_____________________________________________________________________________

Q: How do you perform your finisher? Your opponents finisher?

A: In order to do your own finisher, wait until your spirit meter flashes 
"Special" on it. You can make your meter go on special by pulling off good
moves versus your opponent and taunting. When your spirit meter is on dark 
red and is flashing, simply tap the analog stick and you'll be on special.
(Tapping the analog stick is how you taunt.) When on special, strong grapple
your opponent (see section #2, the faq for strong grappling info) and tap the
analog stick. After hitting the analog stick, your finisher will 
automatically be done. You can also use your opponents finisher against him!
This is extremely easy. When on special, grapple your opponent (weak or 
strong but weak is much easier) and press A and B at the same time. This will
automatically make you do your opponents finisher to him. For instance, if 
you're Hulk Hogan versus Bill Goldberg, follow that procedure and Hogan will
jackhammer Goldberg!

Q: How do I do my finisher or my opponent's finisher from the back?

A: Same concept. Strong grapple from the back and tap the analog stick when 
on special to do your own, and weak or strong grapple from the back and press
A and B simultaneously when on special to do your opponent's back finisher.

Q: If my Player's finisher is a top rope maneuver, how do I do it?

A: This is easy! The only two guys that have top rope finishers are Booker T
(Harlem Hangover) and Juventud Guerrera (450 Degree Splash). When on special,
go on the top rope by pressing C-Down by the turnbuckle, and you'll climb up
and automatically do it!

Oh Yeah, and for WCW 3, I left out Larry Zbysko and Yugi Nagata.

NOTE: If I didn't know the name of a finisher, I picked out a reasonable name
that you should be able to comprehend.
