Best wrestling game.
chairs are weapons of mass destruction
Very fun and arcady AKI engine with WWF paint job. Can't speak for career mode but in terms of gameplay alone it's very good. Visuals are very dated though. Made better with mods.

Dig diggity dog. WWF No Mercy is my most-played game of all time, and nothing else really comes close. (There was a six-month period in my life where I played literally nothing but this game.) Late Attitude Era is my wrestling comfort zone, and the AKI engine is the only half-decent take on wrestling mechanics in video games (outside of the Fire Pro series), so it was a natural fit. The thing that elevates this game over WCW/NWO Revenge is the Create-a-Wrestler mode, which turned it into a dream match machine. Still one of my favorite games to pop in and revisit every now and then, though I mostly stick to Fire Pro World these days.
This and VPW2 are equals in quality but for different reasons. VPW2 has a more in-depth and methodical match pacing but a balancing issue in where MMA guys become overpowered. This game has a faster pace and very fair AI but makes submission wrestling harder because of the fast crawl to the ropes so Benoit, for example, ends up at a disadvantage. Still, as close to perfection as we have gotten with a wrestling game yet.
Can you tell I'm a wrestling fan?
I didn't get into this one as much as I did WCW/NWO Revenge, but one thing this game has over that one is its career mode. Of course the AKI gameplay is still here and better than ever, so I highly recommend this one.
