complaints, requests, or any other things just email me here:

3. Tips, Hints, Tricks for the 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.

4. Cheats...
Did you know that WCW Nitro and WCW/nWo Thunder have 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 the MAIN MENU.
...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.
5. 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?"

8. 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 players dance!! More than they did in the Disco Ring in
Nitro.

9. Q&A...
This section will not be made until I get Questions, so email them at
this email address: qna01@hotmail.com, not my regular email address.
________________________________________________________________________
10. Credits...
THQ, WCW, nWo, Inland, the Booklet, ME, and no other person except these
people/organizations.

11. Coming Up Next...
You must be thinking that this is the best FAQ of WCW/nWo Thunder,
but why doesn't it have any MOVES LIST? Well, you probably know by now
that if you have the booklet you can just look them up in there, and if
you don't have it, then go to another FAQ of WCW/nWo Thunder written by
someone else, I'm sure they'll be saying that they discovered them.
As for the next version, I will need the requested Questions, email
them here (qna01@hotmail.com.) I will have a bigger amount of Wreslters,
and maybe more Rings. Also, I will be adding more stuff as I experience
the game more and more.
Hey, maybe it won't even have a next version. Who knows? But, time
will tell.

12. 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.
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.
