Considering how crap the THQ WCW Nitro game was, Warzone/Attitude was a huge improvement.
Plus I used to love how the wrestlers would say **** during the match

Haha, come to think of it, I think THQ was only the publisher for those games actually. Not sure who the developer was.Considering how crap the THQ WCW Nitro game was, Warzone/Attitude was a huge improvement.

Hes an outside shot at WM isn't he?Gutted about Finn Balor's injury. I was already looking forward to his Wrestlemania entrance next year and his epic theme.

Stuck an old episode of RAW on tonight whilst I was eating dinner, and just came across one of the most hilarious segments that I had totally forgotten about.
The episode was from 2000, and it featured Kurt Angle against Mark Henry in his ***ual chocolate phase. The entire match involved Henry absolutely kicking Kurt's ass for nearly the entire match, only for Kurt to eventually get him over the top rope to the floor. Mae Young then runs out, attacks Kurt, gets given an Angle slam, and the crowd absolutely ERUPTS into boos whilst Kurt does his on his knees over the top celebration celebration.
Nearly peed myself laughing. So funny.
Made me realise something though - that comedy heel Kurt Angle in his first couple of months in WWE was actually really quite fantastic and underrated. He's been great throughout his career with pretty much everything he's done, but in my mind when I think of him I tend to immediately think of him in his legit athlete gimmick phase, when he was feuding with Lesnar etc... I hardly ever think about his earlier work, which is a shame, because it's so good in such a different way. The promos he would cut when he'd come out and just insult whichever town they were in were so funny, and the crowd absolutely ate them up and wanted to kill him. His whole stupid, ignorant and generally obnoxious and offensive character was so effective for him as a midcard guy. Obviously his character needed to evolve etc... and the E creative did that well, but WAG he was even at the beginning.

Yeah, if someone asked me about Kurt Angle my thoughts would immediately turn to the 03-04 period. Dunno why really.
