These Wrestling Video Games SUCK!

6. WCW Backstage Assault

One of the most fun things to witness when watching wrestling is when the action is so white-hot that it doesn't even make it to the ring. Watching as talents get ambushed backstage, rammed through windows, and over catering tables can make for some creative and pretty brutal beatdowns.

These moments however are only fun because they happen sometimes unless you're watching a Triple H match in which he always powders to the outside within the first five minutes, seriously the man loves a walk and brawl, and therefore at no point should anyone have ever greenlighted the idea of "let's make a wrestling game that ONLY has backstage fighting", because what we got was WCW Backstage Assault.

This lame gimmick video game marketed itself as being a title that couldn't be contained by the squared circle, but what we got in actuality was a waddling slog through a car park where characters moved like their trousers were down by their ankles. Watching a Tesco brand version of Sid Vicious move like he broke both his legs from that turnbuckle spot through utterly bland areas was about as fun as eating wallpaper paste for all your meals, and when graphics and gameplay are letting you down this badly what hope do you have of a fun time. Seriously I've seen Gameboy Camera photos with more fidelity than this game has.

It's ironic that there are so many trash cans littered about these sections because this game definitely deserves to be in one.
