2. Introduction
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
WWF Warzone will always hold a special place in my heart, pretty much
purely based on nostalgia. It was the first 3D WWF game ever, the second
3D wrestling game I ever played and owned, and the first US game to
feature a comprehensive CAW mode. Sure, its CAW mode is barebones compared
to what we see now, but back in 1998 this thing was awesome to have.
And I'll be a hardcore Acclaim defender until the end; I enjoyed the
Acclaim WWF games' gameplay and, believe it or not, still do. Obviously
they're not for everyone and they've been upstaged thanks to time and
technology, but the flak they get on the web is wholly undeserved. Say
what you want about the control system, but even back in the day it was
easy for me to get a hold of. Nevermind all that, though; I decided to
write this FAQ because I noticed that the N64 section of Warzone has
virtually no character specific FAQs. Over on the PSX side, JChamberlin
dedicated a lot of effort to making some character FAQs back in the day,
but no one ever gave the N64 the same attention.
I'm starting with Bret Hart, here, and I hope to maybe touch on every
character in the game, giving them their own FAQs/movelists. Aside from
the moveset, I'll add some notes on them in-game, and some strategy
for playing as them.
Quick note, I own both the PSX and N64 versions of Warzone. While the PSX
version will always be my personal because I owned it first and the
nostalgia surrounding it, the N64 version certainly isn't bad. It's
missing a lot of the voice clips the PSX version has, along with
CD-quality music and the FMV clips, but the trade off was N64 gamers got
crisper visuals and an exclusive game mode. But keep in mind this
guide was written expressly for the N64 version of the game; if you need
a PlayStation guide, head on over to JChamberlin's character guides.

3. Bret Hart Bio
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Born: July 2nd, 1957 (Calgary, Alberta, Canada)
Billed From: Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 234 lbs
"I'm the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will
be." —Bret Hart
Known as the “Excellence of Execution,” Bret Hart was one of the finest
technical wrestlers ever. This submission specialist was known for
systematically breaking down his opponents until he was ready to lock
in the Sharpshooter, from which few escaped. Hart was also an innovator
in the ring, executing strategies and applying holds (such as the
ring-post figure-four leglock) that defied the expectations of opponents
and fans alike. Hart also had an uncanny instinct for creating pinning
predicaments out of opponents' holds when things looked their most bleak.
The “Hit Man” was trained with his brothers and other Calgary hopefuls
in the infamous Stu Hart Dungeon. It was there that his father stressed
technique over flair, and it was there that Bret mastered an arsenal of
submission maneuvers the hardest way possible — by having them applied to
him.
Bret Hart emerged from Calgary’s Stampede Wrestling into WWE as a tag-team
specialist alongside Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart. Neidhart’s girth and force
perfectly married with Bret’s skill and cerebral ring approach. Together
they were the Hart Foundation, an up-and-coming duo of the 80s tag-team
division.

Bret became a dominant singles star of the 1990's, holding the Inter-
continental title before moving onto the WWF Title, capturing it
5 times. His tenure in WWF came to a shocking end with the
"Montreal Screwjob" at Survivor Series 1997, and he soon after found
his way onto WCW Television. He was a multiple-time WCW United States
Champion and won the WCW World Championship twice before a career-
ending concussion forced him to retirement in 2000.
Bret returned to WWE on the January 4th, 2010 edition of Monday Night
Raw, which he guest hosted. After an onscreen hatchet-burying with
old nemesis Shawn Michaels, Bret attempted the same with Vince McMahon,
but was attacked by the WWE Chairman. This set up a two-month plus
on-screen rivalry between Vince and Bret that set up a no-holds-barred
match between the two at WrestleMania 26.

4. Bret Hart In Warzone
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Bret "Hit Man" Hart
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 234 lbs.
From: Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Finisher: Sharpshooter
Personality: Rulebreaker
Stats: (NOTE: these statistics are hard as hell to decipher, since they're
displayed via chain links, for some reason, and not numerically. In CAW
it at least shows you the number to go along with it, but in the
Biography menu where you browse the WWF superstars, just the chain links.
I don't have the official strategy guide anymore (and I'm not sure they
even give you the stats numerically there) so the best that can be done
is showing the chain "links".
STRENGTH: )-( )-( )-( )
TOUGHNESS: )-( )-( )-( )-( )
SPEED: )-( )-( )-( )-( )
RECOVERY: ( )-( )-( )-( )
CHARISMA: -( )-( )-( )-( )-( )
IceMaster has Bret's stats listed numerically in his full FAQ of the
game. I'll go ahead and post them here with full credit to him, but I'm
not sure how accurate they may be:
STRENGTH: 5
TOUGHNESS: 6
SPEED: 6.5
RECOVERY: 5
CHARISMA: 7
Bret was included in WWF Warzone even though he had been gone from the
company for 8-9 months prior to the game's release. He was likely
kept in because of all the work that had went into scanning him for his
model, recording his sound clips, recording Vince McMahon and JR's
soundbytes for him, and recording his Grudge Match FMVs. Ahmed Johnson
and British Bulldog are also still in the game despite having left the
World Wrestling Federation.
Like every character in the game besides Steve Austin and Goldust, Bret
has two attires to use. His first is standard late 1997 wear for Bret;
on his torso he wears a black singlet, emblazoned with the logo of a
skull atop a pink heart and surrounded by white wings. Over the singlet,
Bret wears black tights, with a pink design outlined in white down the
leg, and "HITMAN" in black text down his leg and over the pink section.
There are four pink hearts outlined in white down the front of his
right leg, as well as another skull on his buttocks with "HITMAN" above
that, too. He wears white boots, with pink trim around the laces and
down the back, and black toe and sole accents. There's a pink/white star
on the side of his boots as well.
His second attire is the same thing, except everything about his singlet
and tights is pink. There's no black except for the "HITMAN" down his leg,
and the white outlines remain. He also still has black kneepads (which
is strange, as Bret always wore pink kneepads with pink tights.)
To use Bret's alternate attire, hold down C-Right while selecting him.
Bret's moveset is fairly accurately portrayed in Warzone; all his big
moves are here. He's one of (if not the) best wrestlers in the game,
statistically, and it's easy and fast to wear an opponent down to slap
on the Sharpshooter. Start off easy with drop toeholds, hiptosses,
fireman carries, etc; when the opponent becomes stunned you can strike
with a bigger move, like Bret's Russian Legsweep.
Don't forget Bret's sneaky! He comes well equipped with his oft-used
small package, so if you're late in a match and a red opponent's
mounting a comeback, try to put him quickly away with a small package
before they know it.
The piledriver is very devestating, but it's one of the easiest moves
to be countered in this game. Only try to nail it on a stunned opponent,
or there's a good chance they'll backdrop you out of it and mount an
offense.
Another thing not to forget is Bret has the Hart Attack! I think this
is pretty much the only game I've ever seen Bret have a one-man Hart
Attack in, and, while it looks cool, if you miss it you'll land flat
on your ass and will be open to attack.
When an opponent's in darker orange and you want to "sim," go ahead
and try Bret's "Five Moves of Doom." Not neccessarily in any order,
the vertical suplex, Russian Legsweep, backbreaker, top rope driving
elbow, then straight to the Sharpshooter and mash those buttons!
Completing the Challenge mode with Bret, or his brother Owen, unlocks
Sue the Ring Girl to play as.
