First 6th console generation wrestling title I ever tried, and man did it seem revolutionary. Story mode just never ended, letting me play out glorious pre-Ruthless Aggression nonsense as much as I liked. Being able to walk around backstage and bump into NPC wrestlers, kicking up feuds or launching little skits with them, was priceless. A lot of the game modes were firsts for me (N64 wrestling titles could never handle Hell in a Cell). Just a lot of fond, era specific memories with this one.
