Item Description

Go through the curtain and keep walking. WCW Mayhem was the first wrestling game released in the U.S. to let a brawl spill out of the arena and into the back, where rooms like the parking lot, the ticket office and the bathrooms are stocked with weapons and the occasional ambush. That one idea captured late-'90s WCW perfectly, a promotion where the fights always seemed to break out somewhere a camera crew was just barely catching.

Kodiak Interactive developed it as Electronic Arts' first WCW game, and it landed at the height of the Monday Night Wars with a roster of more than 50 wrestlers split into six groups: WCW, nWo Hollywood, nWo Wolfpac, the Four Horsemen, the Cruiserweights and the Hardcore division. Goldberg, Sting, Ric Flair and Rey Mysterio Jr. are here, along with managers and other non-wrestlers you can drag into the ring. Every one of WCW's twelve pay-per-view venues appears, alongside the sets for Nitro, Thunder and Saturday Night, with Tony Schiavone on the call.

Quest for the Best is the career mode and the place to earn most of the unlockables, with the Cruiserweights chasing their own title. The Pay-Per-View mode came with one of the cleverest promotions of the era: for three months, codes were revealed on Monday Nitro the week before each pay-per-view, and entering them unlocked that real card in the game. There is a create-a-wrestler suite too, plus a stack of cheats, including a Wolfpac version of Sting and one that puts Rey Mysterio Jr. back in his luchador gear.

Reviews were mixed, with critics praising the graphics and sound but knocking the collision detection and move sets, and AKI's WCW/nWo Revenge is the stronger pure wrestler on the N64. Mayhem's appeal is different. It is a loud, crowded snapshot of WCW's last boom years, and its backstage brawling became the foundation of the sequel, Backstage Assault. A planned PlayStation 2 follow-up was cancelled after the WWF bought WCW, which leaves this cartridge as a rare full-scale portrait of the promotion with Nitro still on top, the nWo split into Hollywood and Wolfpac on the select screen, and the whole circus waiting behind the curtain.
