Hi! You're doing a great job with the FAQ, but I thought I should drop you a
note and let you know that the person who emailed you about the non-WCW feds
was only half-right. The EWF and DOA are made up federation names, but the
wrestlers in them are real Japanese and Mexican wrestlers with made up names
to avoid paying royalties. I don't have a complete listing for Revenge or
World Tour yet, but if you look up a FAQ for the Playstation game WCW Vs.
the World, you'll see that most of the wrestlers are the same, because
Revenge and World Tour are based on a modified version of the engine in WvW.
If I can find a complete character listing for R/WT, I'll see if I can track
down the rest of the names for you...
Hope this helps!

Here is an e-mail I recently recieved:
>>
I have been looking through a lot of faq about WCW REVENGE and so far
yours has been the most thorough one. But I still have failed to find
one that explains that score system, especially for BATTLE ROYAL.
I want to rank in the top 10 but I always get scores like 20100 or
23700. The most I ever got was 27,300. The lowest score that you need
to rank in last place is at least 33800!!!!
I played BATTLE ROYAL with 40 wrestlers. I set the game so that you
can't eliminate people by throwing them out of the ring (ring out: no).
I set Quick Match to NO. The computer was set to normal. Then I
startet fighting and I beat everybody with the same guy that I had
picked at the beginning. So as I see the replay of the last guy that I
beat I start to get really excited because I'm expecting to have like
40,000 thousands points or something and then BOOM the score screen
comes up and says that I only had 22,800!!!!!!
I was pissed!!!! I couldn't believe it!! It took me 1 hour 34 minutes
and 19 seconds for nothing!!
So my question is...what gives the most points? PINS, SUBMISSIONS, TKOS?
killing some one quick? taking your time doing tactic moves like moves
off the turn buckle, throwing to ropes and than slaming? do I need to
pick power characters like the GIANT and do power moves? please help me
with this, I haven't been able to figure this out. Since you obviously
are so skilled at this game I thought that you may have some answers.
Thanks in advance!!
Write back as soon as possible.

Here is my response to the message:
Here's what to do:
Set the battle royal to pin only and 8 guys. It doesn't matter who you
be but I recommend Sting for his great set of moves and he gets weapons
every time. All you have to do is beat your opponents for a long time.
Try everything on them; all the weak grapple moves, all the strong
grapple moves. Hit him with weapons, use your finisher on him, use his
own finisher against him, slam him into ring posts, do moonsaults or top
rope leg drops onto him..... Anything, just beat on him for a really long
time. Pin him, and repeat on the nexy guy. It's hard, and it takes awhile,
but it will earn you the most points.
<<
Here's more stuff (7/29/99).....
>>
You can throw your opponent through the ropes to the outside of the ring,
throw them under the ropes back into the ring, or bash their head on the
turnbuckle from within the ring by executing the following combination (you
must have your back to the ropes, ring apron, or turnbuckle to do this):
strong grapple, hold direction, then c-down + a button simultaneously.
Certain cruiserweights have springboard attacks which are unique. While
facing your opponent in the ring, run away from him. Keep the direction
button held in and as you approach the ropes, hit the 'a' button. Your
wrestler will leap onto the second rope and springboard backward, either
doing a back somersault or some other awesome feat. Also: when running
toward the ropes, hold in 'up-c' and your wrestler will slide under the
ropes and stand up on the apron facing into the ring. Press and hold the
direction button toward the ring, then press 'a' to springboard to the top
rope and come back into the ring with a missile drop-kick. If your
opponent happens to be laying on the mat when you execute this maneuver,
you'll do something else. Psychosis, for example, leaps over the top rope
with a leg drop.
A couple things I haven't figured out that you may be able to help me with:
- How do you execute the running/sliding kick when you're in the
ring and your opponent is outside the ring?
- How do you perform a running suicide dive through the ropes to
the outside like I've seen the computer do with Psychosis and Juventud
Guerrera?

My Response to the questions:
When your opponent is out of the ring, different guys have different moves
to do. For example, Rick Steiner has the baseball slide, while most of the
cruiserweights have the rope dives. To do them, wait until your opponent is
outside of the ring, and line yourself up with him. Run the opposite way to
the ropes and hold the A Button. Then when your character reaches the
ropes, he'll do a baseball slide or other move depending on who it is.

I was just reading your Revenge FAQ (well done...
it's probably one of the most extensive wrestling
game faq's I ever read) and I noticed you had
Han Zo Mon's finisher down as the screwdriver.
Now the guys in DAW and EWF are all real guys,
who wrestle in Japan, and Han Zo Mon is based
fairly loosely on Hayabusa. Hayabusa's finishing move
is called the Falcon Arrow, but he doesn't spin around.
So instead of screwdriver, you could call it the spinning
falcon arrow. Also, he calls the "360 splash" the
Firebird Splash, and the one he does of the top rope
when he has special (try it, it's wicked) he calls
the Stardust Press, which is his actual finisher.
I could lend you a hand with figuring out the names of
the other guys moves too if you like.

This is great stuff! I have been trying to get my hands on the actual
names of the finishers for the backgrounds FAQ; once all of them are
decided, I'll update the backgrounds FAQ with the proper names. Thanks,
Dan!
Here is a recently received mail:
>>
I need the code to get the cage match and to get rick flair, if you have it
please send me the info asap.
<<
This was in this FAQ already:
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.
In addition to this, there is no cage match. There was a rumor that if
you get the highest point totals in every category, you get a cage
match option, but I've accomplished this and nothing happened. Also, I
contacted someone from WCW.com about it:
>>
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.

Here is a mail I got:
>>
hi there
i think that i've got an addition to your wcw/nwo revenge faq, and also a
little question. i read faq version 2.2, and i noticed that one (that i know
of ;-) super move on special is missing
* chris benoit :
strong grapple, throw opponent to ropes, tap stick while he approaches
armed bar takedown into crippler crossface
* juvy guerrera
strong grapple, throw opponent to ropes, tap stick while he approaches
running huricanrana
hope this helps :-)
here's my question :
there is an option in the game menu, 'no dq'. how can you get disqualified
in the game ?
<<
Thanks for this stuff, and I think you can get DQ'd by having someone
run in and help you or using a weapon, but I'm not sure. I'll have to
look into it for you.

NOTES
- Of course, there is no actual way of determining speed. I based it on
how fast the person is to getting to the ropes and doing the quickest
moves. For example, compare The Giant and Rey Musterio Jr. doing a top
rope moonsault as quick as possible. Who would do it faster?
- The top 5 ranked are:
5. Scott Hall*
4. Dallas Page / Kanyon*
3. Psychosis*
2. Bret Hart
1. Sting
* - Are tied with 27 total points.
- The 5 lowest ranked are:
5. Kim Chee
4. La Parka
3. Larry Zbysko
2. Eric Bischoff
1. Lodi
- Yes, these ratings are my opinions, but they *are* accurate.

===========================================================================
Character Backgrounds
===========================================================================
Hollywood Hulk Hogan
nWo Hollywood Member
Finishers:
-Front: Ric Flair Routine
-Back: Roll Up Pin
I gave Hogan an 8 in strength because even though he is old, he has a
few slams in the game such as the gorilla press and scoop slam. He's no
speed demon but his moves are decent. His finishers are certainly a rip,
which lowers his set from a 10 to an 8.
The Giant
nWo Hollywood Member
Finishers:
-Front: Choke Slam
-Back: Trash Compactor
Obviously, The Giant thrives on power. He has a set of superb strength
moves including his finishers, and a nice jack knife powerbomb. He has
a mean piledriver as well, but his size slows him down. Be him if you
are not looking for anything fancy.
Brian Adams
nWo Hollywood Member
Finishers:
-Front: Rock Bottom
-Back: Backwards Vertical Suplex
Brian Adams is somewhat strong, but he has a huge disadvantage in the
game because he thrives on power and doesn't have any super human strength.
This causes his moves to often be reversed. His speed is poor but he has
two nice finishers and a couple of other good moves.
Scott Hall
nWo Hollywood Member
Finishers:
-Front: The Outsiders Edge
-Back: German Suplex
Scott Hall has a great amount of power in the game (just check out his
front finisher) and also a decent speed burst. He is acceptionally good
in the game due to his strength yet ability to pull off top rope maneuvers.
Also, some of his other moves are great.
Scott Norton
nWo Hollywood Member
Finishers:
-Front: Shoulder Breaker
-Back: Trash Compactor
Norton is another guy who basically thrives on power which will determine
how well he does. He has horrible speed, but his strength makes up for
that. Also, his move set is incredible; you can powerbomb your opponents
without being on special.
Buff Bagwell
nWo Hollywood Member
Finishers:
-Front: Tornado DDT
-Back: German Suplex Pinning Combo
-Ropes: Buff Blockbuster
What makes Buff good in the game is the fact that he has something that
not many other characters have: strength and speed. He has the basic
slam moves, yet he's not super fat and bent out of shape. His move set
is decent; nothing unheard of, but that Buff Blockbuster is pretty sweet.
Eric Bischoff
nWo Hollywood Member
Finishers:
- None
Please, don't waste your time being this guy. He has no wrestling moves;
just a bunch of karate kicks and punches. He runs quick and is skinny,
but not having strength is a critical disadvantage in grapples, and he
has the worst stamina in the game.
Scott Steiner
nWo Hollywood Member
Finishers:
-Front: Steiner Screwdriver
-Back: Arm Bar Back Suplex
Steiner is a huge guy that relies truly on power. His speed is decent for
a bigger guy, and his moves set is also very good (check out his awesome
front finisher). The only thing that holds him down a bit is that the
cruiserweights can out-run him.
Curt Henning
nWo Hollywood Member
Finishers:
-Front: Hennig Plex
-Back: Bulldog
Avoid Curt Hennig at all costs! He doesn't have a lot of strength except
for his front finisher, he's no speed demon to say the least, and his move
set isn't good (his back finisher is a bulldog; why be on special to do
that when you could do it regularly with anyone else)?
Kevin Nash
nWo Wolfpac Member
Finishers:
-Front: Jack Knife Powerbomb
-Back: Sidewalk Slam
Nash is the power person in the game. Definetely be him for some awesome
slams and power moves. He's near 7 feet tall, so his speed is not all that
great, but his move set is unique do to having lots of power moves and
nothing else.
Sting
nWo Wolfpac Member
Finishers:
-Front: Scorpion Death Lock
-Back: Scorpion Death Drop
Sting is definetely the best character to be in the entire game. He is
skinny and has a tremendous amount of speed, and is also strong at the
same time. Also, he has the best move set you'll see in the entire game,
ranging from his special Scorpion Death Drop to his awesome Stinger Splash.
Lex Luger
nWo Wolfpac Member
Finishers:
-Front: Powerbomb Pinning Combo
-Back: Torture Rack
Luger is another good player in the game, though I'll admit he's nothing
to really brag about. His strength is good, but his speed is bad. His move
set is pretty decent; the torture rack is original to his character, but
the rest are moves that all the other characters have.
Randy Savage
nWo Wolfpac Member
Finishers:
-Front: Free Shots
-Back: Roll Up
-Ropes: Big Elbow
The Macho Man is a pretty strong guy and he's good because he doesn't
completely rely on powerful moves. He doesn't, however, have good speed
which can cost you dearly when you're trying to finish your opponent off
with the big elbow. Nice jumping piledriver!
Konnan
nWo Wolfpac Member
Finishers:
-Front: 187
-Back: German Suplex
Konnan certainly doesn't have a lot of strength, but he has a pretty
decent speed burst especially on that summersault clothesline. He also
has a pretty decent move set, and though not superb, his 187 and tequila
sunrise finishers are unique to his character
Raven
Flock Member
Finishers:
-Front: Evenflow DDT
-Back: German Suplex
Raven is very good in the game for a few reasons. First off, he's no
power demon, but he has a good amount of strength. The only thing that
changes his speed from a 10 to a 9 is that he has no top rope moves. His
move set is also incredible; check out that awesome Evenflow DDT!
Lodi
Flock Member
Finishers:
-Front: Arm Hook Powerbomb Pin
-Back: Sleeper Hold
In my opinion, Lodi is the worst character in the game. He's a skinny,
puny guy, and is so weak that his moves are often reversed. He has decent
speed but doesn't apply his rope maneuvers very well, and his move set
is boring and unoriginal.
Riggs
Flock Member
Finishers:
-Front: Arm Hook Powerbomb Pin
-Back: German Suplex
Yet another one of the game's jobbers........ Barely any strength, poor
speed, and an incredibly unoriginal move set. I don't recall seeing any
of Riggs' moves being unique to him, and his rope skills are extremely
pathetic.
Sick Boy
Flock Member
Finishers:
-Front: Double Arm Suplex
-Back: Strong Backdrop
In real life, the Flock is stacked with jobbers........ It's stacked with
jobbers in the game, too. I rated his attributes the same as Riggs', as
he is like the same guy in the game only with a different name and a
different gimmick (see above).
Reese
Flock Member
Finishers:
-Front: Throat Choke / Slam Combo
-Back: Trash Compactor
Once again, a power machine due to his incredible size (second largest
in the game behind The Giant), he has a great amount of power and lacks
tremendously in speed. His move set is pathetic considering what he could
be like, and though his front finisher is unique, it's boring.
Billy Kidman
Flock Member
Finishers:
-Front: Face Down Powerbomb
-Back: Bulldog
-Ropes: Shooting Star Press / Seven Year Itch
Finally, it's a good flock member! His strength is good among
crusierweights, but is poor against other characters in the game. His speed
is tremendous, and his move set is decent. Be sure to check out the
shooting star press and his front finisher.
Roddy Piper
WCW 1 Division Member
Finishers:
-Front: Free Shots
-Back: Sleeper Hold
Piper lacks in strength due to his age, but still has a tremendous speed
burst. His moves are great; he has two mean piledrivers which you can
switch doing, as well as his front finisher which is much like him in real
life.
Diamond Dallas Page
WCW 1 Division Member
Finishers:
-Front: Diamond Cutter
-Back: Back Breaker
-Ropes: Flying Diamond Cutter
-Turnbuckle: Diamond Death Cutter
No matter what way you want to look at it, Page excels in this game. His
strength is normal for a heavyweight which allows him to compete with guys
like Nash and The Giant. His speed is still very good, and he can do top
rope maneuvers. His move set is one of the best in the game, with a nice
reversed piledriver which sets up the Diamond Cutter or its 2 other
variations.
Bill Goldberg
WCW 1 Division Member
Finishers:
-Front: Jackhammer
-Back: Arm Bar Back Suplex
-Ropes: Quick Chokeslam
Goldberg has terrific strength in the game especially considering that
he's not a near 7 footer. His speed and agility is great for his size,
and he can really nail that spear in a split second. The thing that ruins
his agility a little bit is that his tope rope moves look sloppy. His
move set is also great, with the spear, the jackhammer, and the quick
chokeslam all being unique to the game. Another good thing about him is
that it's easy to get him on special with the spear and his quick taunt.
