10 Weirdest Unlockable Characters In Wrestling Video Games

When The Godfather's various "ladies of the night" first showed up as playable characters in WrestleMania 2000, unlocking them was a relatively simple process using the GameShark, much in the same way you unlocked the utterly useless crash test dummy.

In that game, you had the option to choose between three or four of the various Hos, even though each one had a generic move set and were basically only identifiable based on which skanky outfit they were wearing. (Just like in real life!)

When developers decided to hide them in their follow-up, No Mercy, they decided to make it a real pain in the backside to unlock a singular Ho. To do it, you had to collect an absurd amount of in-game money which you collected after winning matches in Story Mode and playing through Survival Mode.

Once you'd earned half a million in the most grueling ways possible, you could then head to SmackDown! Mall, where the Ho was just waiting to be bought. (Just like in real life!)

Of course, this Ho - supposedly based off up-and-coming diva, Victoria - was again very limited in her move set and did nothing all that special. In contrast, you could purchase Cactus Jack, Shawn Michaels, or Ken Shamrock from the Mall for a tenth of the price.
