DID YOU KNOW???
Goldberg had 3 losses: To Kevin Nash, but also to Rowdy Roddy Piper and
Sting back before they repackaged him as the unstoppable juggernaut we
know now!

"Hollywood" Hogan has now held both the WCW(5) and WWF(5) belts more
times than anyone else! (note: Ric Flair may be a 13-time World
Champion, but 2 of those were with the WWF and 7 with the NWA, before
it became the WCW, so only 4 reigns for Flair, compared with 5 for
Hogan.)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q-How come wrestler's xxxx finisher is just like wrestler's yyyy
finisher?(Example: Disco Inferno doing the Evenflo DDT instead of the
Chartbuster or Kidman's Seven Year Itch looking like the Crippler
Swandive)
A-Because THQ is lazy.  They only put in distinct finishers for the
first 16 wrestlers ("First Stringers") and kinda BS'ed their way
through the last 48.  It may have been a rush to ship, maybe a general
apathy towards gamers.  If you agree that more time should have been
taken, email me at the above address and I will put everyone's name on
a petition to add the moves in a new version/patch for Nitro!

Q-How do I get the bonus rings?? I don't even see the regular ones!

A-You need a Direct3D-compatible card to run the rings.  Sorry.

Q-Nitro doesn't work on my system! Help!

A-Sorry, I'm not affiliated with THQ or any part of the making of this
game.  I'll do the best I can to help, but they'd be the ones to talk
to, not me.  (Aside: they take a hell of a long time to respond,
though.)

Q-The moves are exactly like the PSX/N64 version of Nitro/Thunder!

A-You are correct.  Again, credit this to the laziness of THQ.
