- Acclaim lost the WWF license after releasing WWF Attitude. They didn't wanna get out of the wrestling game business yet, so they turned to ECW instead. How did it go?

“Some guy named New Jack”
Lol dude attempted to murder two guys in the ring on two separate occasions
lol the mass traffic incident wasnt attempted murder, it was just pure stupidity. he was for sure a psychopath
Only 2? There were a few more
RIP New Jack
I was thinking the same thing lol.
I used to watch his matches and think "this man must be on crack!" Only to find out years later, I was actually right.
"there is a Sabu in here I guess" man... Sabu was awesome. Tajiri was an ECW legend who had some amazing matches with many wrestling legends.
both are pretty big legends in the sport of wrestling, thab really showing off the fact
he dont know shit about wrestling in this video
I thought Tajiri were a WWF midcarder 😅 I need to catch up with classic ECW..
@@adrenaliner91 that's what WWE does to its talent keeps some of its greatest talent as mid carders
These guys were all super stars. This game may be jank, but also is 100% accurate to how ECW shows actually were.
ECDUB ECDUB ECDUB
More than 3 lol
E C FN W
"love roadkill's outfit" Dude was an Amish gimmick. Chickens!
10:48 heel turn Thab getting cheap heat on the audience.
I can’t believe that you do the whole career without taking on Rob Van Dam, who’s the main character all over the game art! That marble run was fantastic, Thab so desperate to get Goldeneye!
Every ECW fan winced in unison when you mentioned New Jack.
Crazy he never heard of New Jack. Literally one of the craziest humans to ever exist.
I knew a couple of the smaller named ECW guys because they lived nearby and were friends with people I knew. Went to a few shows and they were pretty nuts. I had a lot of firsts as a young teenager in those small arenas :D
ECW was underground but still relatively popular, it was definitely the third biggest wrestling organization in North America. It was also HUGELY influential even on the bigger two. They basically introduced several wrestling styles to the maintstream in America, not just hardcore stuff but also Japanese strong style, lucha libre, technical wrestling etc. Both WWF (now WWE) and WCW were constantly poaching their talent - WCW's cruiserweight division in particular was almost entirely former ECW guys - and eventually, WWE bought it as well as WCW and then continued their own watered down version of ECW for a while.
"Oh my god!" was Joey Styles's big catchphrase. He was probably the best English announcer at the time, really knew his stuff.
To this day, when something particularly wild/"hardcore" happens in wrestling it's not uncommon to hear an "E-C-DUB!" chant. It was a big deal at the time to hear that in WWF or WCW, because they were trying to pretend ECW didn't exist for a while.
Also, nut shots were totally legal in ECW. Whereas other organizations had occasional no disqualification matches, in ECW disqualifications functionally didn't exist.
In the USA not just North America. CMLL y AAA were definitely bigger.
Boda bing bada DEAD. No one could survive 600 lbs straight to the face
I remember as a kid thinking that wrestling was real, but it was a sport. That being said, I also thought ECW was where the psychos went who actually wanted to kill each other and nothing about it was fake lol.
Tons of these wrestlers are still around, some like Taz are still big, but I digress
"here is some guy named new jack!"
::anyone who knows who he is:: -- you are so lucky to have left that ring alive 😂
Yeah new jack was a real mean bean
I'm 1 of 3! 😅 I recognized every actual wrestler. I wish this game was better, but I knew it would be trash being basically the same as the 2 WWF games by Acclaim.
I'm an independent wrestling referee. Spent some time with Tracy Smothers before he died a couple years ago. Terrible game but it's cool seeing some of these people!
Rob Van Dam still wrestled these day.
He's even booked for _Collision_ on 4/20 lol
@@KruelAidManHis match with Swerve on AEW recently is really good. He still got it on his end of the career.
A E Dub
Tommy Dreamer is still active I believe
@@ThatOneDude219 he just got the book in TNA. Jericho, Tanaka and pretty much all the luchadores are still wrestling regularly.
Funny you mention the Full Blooded Italians. I was friends in high school with one of the members.
Got a bit excited when Conkers Bad Fur Day was catching up
The commentator Joey Styles sounded just like that in real life too. OH MY GOD!!! 🤣🤣🤣
ECW was an obsession as a teenager. We would stay up til 2am to catch clips on local over-the-air TV. Sabu, Rob Van Damn, Taz. Legends.
ECDUBYA! fun fact about this game, raven is so OP that his finisher can't be broken up
No mention of Tracy Smothers character... the disrespect 😂😂
Tracy was a wild one, met him at a few indy shows.
R.i.p. Tracy Smothers
This made me look up to see if Big Sal was still alive. I think he is which is crazy. I thought for sure this dude would be dead.
Wrestling fan here. ECW was nuts back then. I remember renting this way back when and realizing within minutes of turning it on that this was an Attitude/Warzone clone (and i HATED those games). I was so mad I literally biked back to Blockbuster to see if they could exhange it for a different game lol.
I have a signed picture from NOVA from around 1999 when I went to an ECW show back in Jr. High. It was actually a pretty cool show. In the main event the 2 guys fighting came out right into our section and even used the folding chairs we were sitting in to beat the living hell out of each other. I wish I could remember who the wrestlers were, but that memory is long gone, lol
O yeah?! I got a signed pic of the headbangers I met them at target in Delaware
I was 14 when I played this. created a custom character called “The Flying Booger”. He was completely green and weighed 500 lbs. He only did nut shots. Nothing else.
I remember doing something similar back in the day. My logic was nothing hurts as bad as getting hit in the nuts so if I do it repeatedly I gotta win 😅
Wow even my WWE 2K23 created wrestler whose standard tactics were to hit an opponent with a Shattered Dreams in each corner before trying for a pin had a few non-low blow attacks.
@@roguerifter9724 nah you gotta go nutshots, 8 yr old logic says so 😂
@@roguerifter9724 I spend so much time now on my character and the moveset, idk which SVR it was where you could create your finisher but it was like 10 nutshots into a gts
@@roguerifter9724 two things I miss in modern sports games are button mashing nut shots and quarterback destroying hard hits in Football games.
As one of the three ECW fans watching this series, I hate that this boring game was ever anyones introduction to ECW. Though, a cheaply made game held together by staples and empty promises might be fitting of ECW in its last couple years.
Those old wrestling games were always hit or miss... They were always better with friends tho
Big fan of ECW, it was the best of the Indies.
Where the other two ECW fans at?
Right here lol
AA meeting is my guess.
In a retirement home or an urn I'm guessing.
I’m here. This game is straight garbage though
Here!
I went to an ECW show in the early 2k's and Taz jumped off 4 levels of scaffolding and destroyed his back. Ambulance drove into the arena. EPIC!! EC DUB, EC DUB!!!
I'm so invested in these marble races but also disheartened every time a good game loses out to another sports game lol
That marble race had so many S-tier games in front during the second lap, and then...
GT racer just beat Baseball by a nose if you watch it again 20:45
4 of the top 10 where American football.
I used to go to ECW events all the time and people would try to bring weapons(broom handles, baseball bats, chains, etc)in and security would confiscate them all. Then, without fail, at some point during the event one of the wrestlers would bring out a shopping cart full of all the confiscated items and they would get used in the ring lol
Thab with the shoot promo 10:40-10:55
Dude ECW was legendary. Sabu, Raven, RVD and Tommy Dreamer etc. had some of the most amazing matches I’ve ever seen.
3:13 is Ron Buffone, who appears to have been a producer for ECW and not actually a wrestler.
ECW was fun. It was like the psychotic little brother of WWF.
As a wrestling and ThaBeast fan, his general lack of ECW knowledge makes this fun to watch (I'm not hating!). I'm a little sad Anarchy Rulz didn't get ported to N64 for him to play, lol.
the marble race was probably more fun to watch than playing the entirety of ECW Hardcore Revolution.
RIP like half the wrestlers in this game. Balls, Axl, New Jack, Chris Candido, Bam Bam, Mike Awesome... 😢
ECW was so fun to watch! RVD and Sabu had some great matches. So many legendary wrestlers started in ECW, was a great time to be a wrestling fan! I often go back and watch the old ECW PPVs!
I’m one of those old school ecw fans 👍
Prove it were is ecw original from they have a hometown ???
@@dannysandoval1034 Philly isint it?
The name Justin Credible is just incredible
I'm still waiting for my favorite N64 titles from my childhood to appear on this series. Until those moments come, play on good sir.
Gah goldeneye and Mario cart flirting with first place was nuts. Came for the game, stayed for the marble race
The race was more exciting than the game😂
Came for the game, came to the marble race
Yea, N64 was plagued with a bunch of shit sports and racing titles sadly, but best to get them out of the way for the good games to come ;D
@@curtiscoffin2255 😅 epic finish!
@@IoIocaust I’m calling it now we’re gonna get a streak of bangers at some point!
That marble race gives me goosebumps for no reason
Thab deserves so many more subs
Those “made up” characters were actually employees and personal of ECW. Just so you know
I'm one of those 3 fans of ECW hahahahaha
Okay so he is beating some N64 games, big deal, its not like he's beating all of...wait...what? ALL OF THEM? AND HE MEANS IT?
The twist is the next game he plays is randomly selected.
And he has no clue what‘s coming next!
The simple fact that you have beaten 158 games on the 64 is an achievement in it's self. Good stuff man, keep at it.
R.I.P to alot of legends in this business
Man I love the marble races! It's a shame Player 1 was a bust in this game. He's usually a walking cheat code.
He's playing every awful N64 sports game, and he means all of them, the best part is: the marble race at the end.
I just watched a 3 hour video on the rise and fall of ECW and noticed they had a N64 game with Acclaim. I dont remember this as a kid I used to buy all the wrestling games for this console. It's eerie you posted this video today although I know it's a coincidence.
I just watched the video..... This game is so bad I would've been so mad if paid 60-80 bucks for it.
fun video thab - really enjoyed this one
There's a reason they lost the license
I was waiting for this one . let's gooo sand man
Justin Credible wasn't only rocking the stone cold steve austin look, justin credible WAS stone cold steve austin before he moved to the WWE / WWF :D
i mean, steven austins "stone cold" character was honed in ECW before he went to wwf, and that was before justin cedible, JC was never a stone cold copy either, thab making that comparison is pretty poor
I watched the marble race twice. Love this addition to the channel
Roadkill aka Amish Roadkill was awesome! And he only ever said 1 word:
Chickens!
Yeah this was during the time when AKI moved from making WCW games and jumped over to WWF...Activision was dropped for doing no favors with WWF WarZone and Attitude, so ECW picked them up in hopes to get more of the spotlight on them (the promotion was popular, but they were number 3 during the late 90's/early 00"s), and Activision literally just used the same engine they used for Attitude and slapped an ECW coat of paint on it. This game somehow got a sequel that released on PS1 and Dreamcast (Anarchy Rulz), which was again more of the same with more content.
The marble races are an insanely good addition
No, too long.
The marble race is a great addition and I love hearing your commentary! I would be curious to see if the number or percentage of people who skip to the end, because it's honestly a fun little extra value add to the video that I enjoy watching
lol its funny cause a good number of the wrestlers later in the game are considered to be very significant and influential in the wrestling world
Jorts are back my man!
It funny to hear someone’s prospective of ECW who isn’t familiar with it. Makes me realize how wierd some of the shit was lol. Also I always hated that Akklaim put no effort into the two ECW games.
Beast needs to go down the new jack rabbit hole somwtime and give us his reaction. IYKYK
I'll still be here for every video!
Big Sal has the coolest name I've ever seen.
My brother you have the cursor on Balls Mahoney as you said it.
One of 3 ECW fans here
lol big sal's finisher is just the banzai drop
Watching Grunge leg drop New Jack through a press table
I've really enjoyed this series.
I'm one of the three ECW fans watching this
My Friday just got better 🙌
I was hoping you'd play the hysterical "inferno" match in this game
Never played this one! Great vid. Wonder if he'll ever play Aidyn Chronicles
I miss the ending of “175, what’s that?” But the race thing is cool 😊
I almost got excited when MK64 took the lead.
ECW ECW ECW!
I really love the marble race!
Acclaim and ecw, a match made in heaven
I am admired by your journey and I hope you make it all the way. I feel bad because the marble race is the usually the most fun part. Unfortunately there's only like 10 games that I want to watch in full. Can't wait for Legend of Zelda!@@!!!
Aidyn Chronicles? That must be a banger!
The ECW announcer is accurate.
I can't wait for Road Rash!
Thank you
at this point i am chanting "marble race!" at the end of these videos
PLAY-ER ONE! PLAY-ER ONE!
Intense marble race!
fyi: the handicap matches are mostly done via winning by most damage. you just need to be quick to land moves on your opponents by cycling through them (change target immediately when you hit your move).
it gets easy once the crowd chants on you because you do double damage. so yes, it is possible to beat it even with your opponents in red and your wrestler in green. it just takes some time to practice it. 😉
Best marble race yet
You should look up the Mass Transit if you wanna know about New Jack.
The marble race had me in the first half, and then we ended up with what we ended up. Lol
Patiently waiting for No Mercy Content
Yes all those heavy weight league guys are all well known and most wrestled in wwe aswell
