Not for nothing was it called one of the best wrestling games ever released.

For one, it had a jam-packed roster, featuring the only WWE gamesappearances of ex-WCW powerhouses Goldberg (for a time, at least; he was later included in WWE 2K14, 2K17, and 2K18) and Scott Steiner, and cruiserweight legend Ultimo Dragon, as well as a bunch other top WWE superstars from the time, including the main series debuts of uys like John Cena, Rey Mysterio and Batista. Though it is a missing a few others (Hulk Hogan and Jeff Hardy being the most glaring ones).

It was also the first of the mainline series (WWF No Mercy, with its inclusion of Andre the Giant was the first overall) to feature a Legends roster... not that it was anything to write home about though. Some of the choices are just questionable. (George "The Animal" Steele? Nikolai Volkoff? HILLBILLY JIM?!)
