4^. Tips, Hints, Tricks for WCW/nWo
Thunder...
...When you are having a BATTLE ROYAL
and your meter is red or flickering red
just go outside and do the "TEST OF
STRENGTH" on your opponent.
...When you have a weapon, hit the
wrestler when he is close to you, don't
try to hit him while he is in the ring
and you are outside of the ring.
...While you have a weapon, don't take
weapons like a TV, take a weapon like a
STOP SIGN, so when you hit your opponent
with the weapon start hitting him with
the button S but only once, then while he
is on the ground hit him as much as
possible with the X button.
...When playing a tournament and you
want to get a easy win, just go outside
before your opponent does, then give him
a beating for 5 seconds. Then hit the
SELECT button to get outside help, then
while your partner is giving your
opponent a beating, go inside the ring to
reset the RINGOUT time, if you want to
double team your opponent just for fun go
outside again, now your opponent must
have 19 seconds on his Timer and as for
you it should be 1 or 2.
...While you are selecting your
wrestler, remember to look at the Might
Meter, but I would recommend that you use
your favorite wrestler, because that's
when you play better. For example, if
your favorite wrestler is Scott Hall, and
his Might Meter is less than Goldberg,
who would you pick?
...If your Energy Bar is low, and you
need some energy (duh), then do the TEST
OF STRENGTH.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
5^. Cheats...
Did you know that WCW Nitro and WCW/nWo
Thunder the some of the same cheats? Well
anyway, here it goes.
...Get all HIDDEN WRESTLERS: R1(4x),
L1(4x), R2(4x), L2(4x), then press SELECT
at the MAIN MENU.
...Get all HIDDEN RINGS: R1, R2, R1,
R2, and SELECT at the MAIN MENU.
...Big Heads, Big Hands, Big Feet, and
Big Weapons: R2(7x), R1, and SELECT at

...Big Heads: R1(7x), R2 and SELECT at
the MAIN MENU.
...Change the MIGHT METER: L2(4),
R2(4), L1(4), R1(4), then SELECT at the
MAIN MENU.
...Choke Your Opponent: Use stop sign,
bat or any other stick , press ->, S, S,
very quickly so that you can choke him.
...Inland FMV: At the title screen
press R1(4x), L1(4x), R2(4x), L2(4x), and
finally SELECT.
...Have a "Steal Cage Battle Royal":
Enter the Ring Select code and after you
are done select "CAGE" as your ring, then
go to the Mode Select screen and press on
BATTLE ROYAL mode to have a Battle Royal
inside a cage!

6. Is it worth it...?
This game, WCW/nWo THUNDER, is just a
sequel to WCW Nitro, but there are some
differences. The differences include Cage
Matches, Modifying Wrestlers, Battle
Royal, 3 Tournaments to choose, MORE
Rings, MORE Wrestlers, Weapons, plus
more. Anyway, people have been comparing
this game to WWF Warzone, but, I think
that WCW/nWo Thunder has its own style,
just like WCW and WWF have their own
style. So, if you want to add this onto
your Wrestling-Video Games Collection, go
ahead. This game is very addictive, and
you keep on coming back for more even if
you finished the game, but their must be
something that you haven't tried out yet.
So, on a rating of 1-10, I would give it
a 8.0. Which means, if that you want to
buy the game, don't hesitate, it's very
good, believe me. So what if you can't
"Create a Wrestler?"

9. Features...
WCW/nWo Thunder features lots of stuff.
First off, let's talk about the Weapons,
there are many weapons to choose from,
from Stop Signs to Breifcases. This
feature is also different from the one in
WCW/nWo World Tour, the wrestlers took
the weapons from the seats. Next, WCW/nWo
Thunder has Cage Matches in which the
advantage you and your opponent have that
you could climb on the cage. 3rd, the
best part in WCW/nWo Thunder is that
there is a Royal Rumble type Battle
Royal, where you have 4 people in the
ring and you have to throw 1 person out
to get your next opponent. Next, there
are over 95 wrestlers in Thunder, so you
got a huge list of wrestlers to choose
from. Did I tell you about the rings, the
rings are very cool. One of my favorite
ring is the USO ring, in this ring the
wrestlers dance!! More than they did in
the Disco Ring in Nitro.

10^. Q&A...
Q1. How can I get Sting to have
Black/White facepaint?
A1. OK, first you have to modify him,
by pressing the S button, then put him
into 4 Horsemen, Raven's Flock, or nWo
Hollywood. It's weird because when you
put him back to WCW, he still remains
with Red facepaint except he also gets
red clothing.
Q2. Can you climb the cage and then
climb down outside to win?
A2. I wish. (PS. You can't win because
if you climb outside of the ring you will
be disqualified in 20 seconds.)
Q3. Bret Hart has his 2 different
trademark uniforms, his black pants and
pink tanktop.... but it also has his
Black tanktop and pink pants..do you know
how I could access that uniform without
having to have 2Bret harts in the ring at
one time?
A3. I guess some people have not tried
the "MODIFY WRESTLER" option by pressing
S on the Wrestler Select screen. So, turn
on the PlayStation and do that now!!
Q4. I have the booklet for WCW/nWo
Thunder, but it doesn't give me the moves
of the hidden wrestlers. Can you tell me
the moves of the hidden wrestlers??
A4. Yes and No. Why? Cause SK said
so. Look, I aint here to sit down and
write 1,000 words on the wrestlers moves
which could be available somewhere else
for MONEY.
Q5. Can I give you $100 so that you
could write down 1,000 words on the
wrestlers moves?
A5. Anytime!
Q6. In a battle royal how do you throw
a wrestler out of the ring?
A6. I have been asked this question
many times, and I would love to answer
this one to get over with! Just press <-
, X, O while facing right. NOTE: Do the
opposite while facing left, upwards, or
downwards, IE: (while facing left) ->, X,
O.
Q7. How do you run, pick up weapons,
fling the wrestler across the ring and
putthe wrestler on a turnbuckle?
A7. To run tap the -> or <- twice. To
pick up weapons, just go upto the weapon.
To fling the wrestler across the ring
press <-, O while facing right.
Q8. I was wondering if you know whether
or not the secretwrestlers have special
moves?
A8. Ofcourse the secret wrestlers have
moves, but it is hard to find what they
are.
Q9. In WCW/nWo thunder can you do
Computer vs. Computer match?
A9. In a way you can by waiting at the
Start screen until they show the match,
but you won't get to pick which people
you wish to fight.
Q10. Why does everyone keep on asking
the same stupid questions when they
already know that the answer is in the
Strategy Guide.
A10. Well, you know some people are not
careful enough and probably don't use the
eyes or the question they is not answered
in the guide.
Q11. Where could I get all the moves
for every charactor?
A11. Go to your nearest BLOCKBUSTER or
surf around sites.

11^. Credits...
THQ, WCW, nWo, Inland, the Booklet, ME,
and no other person except these
people/organizations. People for sending
in questions.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
12^. Coming Up Next...
Go straight to "The END."
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
13^. What I wanted the GAME to be like...
Well, I hope that THQ's, Inland's, or
even WCW's staff is reading this, this
section tells my opinions on what the
game should have had, and what it
shouldn't have.
First of all, everyone liked Acclaim's
most recent wrestling game because you
could create a wrestler. So, I think that
THQ should have gone to the next step and
they should have done Create a Ring or a
Wrestler. Also, the style of creating
this stuff on Thunder should not have
been likr Warzone's, so if Warzone gave
the option of choosing the weight of your
wrestler, THQ should have done something
like the Width of the wrestler.
THQ should have dropped some of the
wrestlers, like their whole staff, hey,
who wants to play as someone's staff?! I
am sure THQ/Inland members think it's
cool wrestling as themselves in a video
against all these superstars. This would
give them lots of disk space.
I, and lots of other people would like
it if they created something like after
you press SELECT someone comes out from
backstage, then when you press R2, R2,
R2, R2, the person gets a key and opens
up the door for them to get out of it. Or
something else like a cage with no top,
so that someone could climb all the way
to the top. Or something like breaking
the cage apart and wrestling on the top
of it.
This game needs to get improvements on
the fan movement, I love the people
dancing around in the USO arena, but, I
think that THQ/Inland shold put
themselves in the fans position but not
as wrestlers, this way, the fans would
look more realistic.
Hey ref? Scott Dickinson? Pee Wee?
Where are you guys?? Hello? We need some
Referees, hasn't anyone in THQ know that
the referee is involved in every single
thing that goes on in WRESTLING!!
We also need some blood. Like there
is in WCW/nWo World Tour!!
Like the ideas? Than again, if you
don't these are only my thoughts.
We hope EA Sports does the job well
done.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
14. The End...
Oh yes, now, for the *SAD* News: There
will be no NEW version of my WCW/nWo
Thunder Guide. Sorry, don't cry.
