Wrestlemania 2000 Create-A-Wrestlers

I wanted to see what kind of crazy characters I could make using only Wrestlemania 2000 for Nintendo 64. You can duplicate everything you see here in WM2K; from finisher names to costumes. Well, except for one thing. You'll see.

Name: Triple K
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 256
Finisher: Hangman's DDT

Triple K (then Jethro Dust) was just your average bigot. All that changed when Jerry Springer invited Klansmen to appear on an upcoming episode, "Back off, bitch! That racist redneck is mine." Dust was so excited he ran out and joined the Klan that very day.

Jethro was a cheap heat magnet -- the audience hated him and before you knew it, he was throwing chairs, shoes, and other guests. Lucky for Jethro, Vince McMahon was watching that night, no doubt in hope of snagging ideas for McMahon family drama. After his release from jail, Jethro became Triple K. With his bold use of the word "niggardly," Tripple K has become the most hated racist rassler since Karl the Naughty Nazi.

Quotes:
- "The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan do not consider themselves the enemy of non-Whites. We believe that every race has a natural right to have pride in its heritage and work to better itself."
- "Get a rope."

Name: Jesus of Nazareth
Height: ???
Weight: ???
Finisher: Crucifixion Pin ("Cross Pin")

In the world of wrestling, it's hard living in your Father's shadow. But if you think David Flair has it tough, try being the son of God! Born in Bethlehem in the days of King Herod, Jesus wandered the countryside raising the dead, mass-producing fish and blessing everyone he could get his mits on. Jesus' groovy trip was cut short when he was crucified, leaving the faithful to wait centuries for his return. One Monday Night RAW, Jesus appeared before a capacity crowd, grabbed a microphone and verbally attacked the "People's Champion," The Rock. (Something about a "blue bull" and "false idols"...)

Quotes:
- "I'm gonna get biblical on your ass."
- "You are so going to Hell for that."
- "Thou shalt suck it!"

Name: Trent Reznor
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 170
Finisher: Downward spiral

After studying computer engineering in college, Trent Reznor embraced angst-ridden music. At first he accomplished little more than a bit part in a Michael J. Fox flick. Then in 1988 he formed NIN and two years later, Pretty Hate Machine made him famous. Reznor always had a flair for performance. He was fond of wicked theatrics, violently knocking into band members and splashing the crowd with a water bottle. Due to a slight miscommunication between Reznor's manager and the WWF, Trent Reznor was signed to guest star -- with no previous training. His injuries should heal in time for his next album's debut, in 2026.

Quotes:
- "I wasn't the biggest kid in the class and I wasn't the athletic superstar football player."
- "I focus on the pain. It's the only thing that's real."
- "Please, I'm not a wrestler -- stop! OWWW!"

Name: Sagat
Height: 7'4"
Weight: 283lbs
Finisher: Tiger Shot fireball*

In the first Street Fighter tournament, Sagat was defeated by Ryu's Shoryuken, which tore open his chest. For years the "Emperor of Muay Thai" trained to utterly destroy Ryu. His quest for revenge ended when WWF owner Vince McMahon, happy with the success of "shoot" fighter Ken Shamrock, hired him for a six figure contract.

Quotes:
- "Vengeance. Honor. I've got stock options."
- "I promised this scar that I would never be defeated again!"
- "Your flesh is soft. My fists are invincible. Realize your agony."

[*I guess it kinda goes without saying...]

Name: Thor Antrim
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 150
Finisher: Tornado Backbreaker

Thor Antrim was not championship material. His best hope was a "featherweight webmaster" division... until day he donned his Thunderpants and spray-painted a cheap knee pad silver. Thor declared his new secret weapon: the BIONIC KNEE. No one took him seriously until he won AWF gold -- using nothing but atomic drops, backbreakers and other piss-poor moves "involving the knee". He defended the AWF title fifteen times in a week, eventually losing the belt to Vampiro (because, according to him, he had a cold). Thor became more depressed and whiny than Raven. Then inspiration struck again and he unveiled his new, new weapon: the Chronic Knee.

Hey, cheap pot references worked for Degeneration-X, Rob Van Dam and Kronic.

Quotes:
- "How'd you like that move involving my knee?"
- "Blarg!"

- Zeus Poplar was robbed, damnit. Everyone gets sick days off but wrestlers! I don't care if Shane Douglas wrestled with a broken hand -- I'm delicate!
