So many people talk up/reference No Mercy, as if they've never even heard of this game. And while No Mercy is certainly good, arguably a SLIGHT upgrade over this graphically, etc., in my opinion, having played/owned both, WM 2000 is the better game. To my memory the career mode was just more interesting/fun to play, and I put a TON of time into this game, creating made up characters, trying my best to add existing wrestlers into the game, etc.

The N64 was the first console I ever bought myself, with money from my first real summer job, and while I sadly didn't have it for TOO long (teenage idiocy), for the year and a half/two years that I DID have my original N64, this was one of my most played games on it, by far.

It's slow and a bit clunky these days, even compared to the game I eventually moved on to (Smackdown: Here Comes the Pain on PS2). BUT, for its era, it's still a phenomenal game. Best wrestling game on N64 (or perhaps from that entire console generation), and one of the best games on the system.
