Wear down your opponent before you go for the pin. HereBradshawTM takes it to Chris JerichoTM with repeated strikingattacks (2).

Is your opponent lying dazed on the mat? Don’t let up; keeptaking it to him like HollywoodHulk HoganTM does here with an Elbow DropTM.

With your opponent on theground, go for the pin (8). In a regular match, pin youropponent in the ring with athree-count to win.

WeaponsForeign objects always manage to find their way into the ring.Look for sledgehammers, tables, chairs, and more to use on youropponent. Weapons do more damage to your opponent than astandard striking attack, but watch out: Weapon attacks takelonger than standard attacks. This means your opponent can geta shot in and prevent you from attacking.

Use a weapon on your opponentto do some heavy damage.

Watch out! Weapon attacks areon the slow side. You give youropponent a chance to preventyour attack.

Climb the Turnbuckle

With your opponent dazed onthe mat, climb the turnbuckle (3 + control stick) to deliver acrushing blow.

Tag Team

It’s two-on-two in a Tag Teammatch. Select your partnercarefully—pick a partner whocomplements your style ofwrestling.

The Tornado Tag option allowsyour partner to hop into theaction anytime.

Handicap

Select the Handicap option to take on two Superstars at thesame time. In a Handicap match, concentrate your big moveson one of the Superstars while you keep the other at bay withstriking or grappling attacks.

Triple-ThreatTM

It’s one-on-one-on-one in aTriple-ThreatTM match. Pin onlyone of the Superstars to win,but watch your back. Loyaltiesquickly change when the thirdSuperstar sees you going for apin. The third Superstar shouldbe dazed or far away beforeyou go for the pin.

WrestleMania ® HistoryThe first WrestleMania ® event was held onMarch 31, 1985; it was not a pay-per-view

event. More than one million crazed wrestlingfans jammed into theaters across the country towatch the event on closed-circuit television. Thetitle match featured Hulk HoganTM and Mr. TTM

battling Roddy PiperTM and Paul Orndorff TM.

Finishing Moves

Watch the green mark on the screen. As you continue to pummelyour opponent, you begin to fill up the special slots for yourSuperstar. Once you have one, you can perform a signaturemove. Here Stone cold Steve AustinTM delivers a Stone ColdStunnerTM on Kevin NashTM.

Fatal Four-WayTM

Fatal Four-WayTM is similar to the Triple-ThreatTM except fourSuperstars go at it. Pin only one of them to win; concentrateyour efforts on a single Superstar. Be careful, though; youcould wear someone down only to let another Superstar getthe pin.

Battle Royal

Like a Fatal Four-Way, there are four Superstars in the ringdoing battle. This time, however, you must defeat all three ofyour opponents to emerge victorious. Follow the same strategyas before. Get the first opponent out of the ring, then move onto the next.

Royal Rumble®

The Royal Rumble® is one of the greatest spectacles inWrestleMania®. Thirty of the top Superstars enter the ring. Thelast one standing is the winner. To win a Royal Rumble® youhave to fight a near-perfect match. Practice your countermovesand stay near the outside of the ring. This keeps you from get-ting tied up between multiple Superstars.

Hardcore Match

Grab a weapon and get ready for some hard-hitting action.Anything goes in a Hardcore match. Go for a quick strikingattack if your opponent swings a weapon at you. Your attack is quicker and disrupts the blow.

SubmissionMatches

Going for a pin fall won’t work in a Submission match. To win,wear your opponent down with a steady stream of strikingattacks and big grappling moves. Once your opponent is wornout, go for a submission move like a Sleeper HoldTM. If youropponent has had enough, you come away with the victory.

Cage Match

The only way to win a Cage match is to climb the 10-footchain-link fence. The first Superstar out of the ring is the winner.Deliver a crushing blow (like a big-time special move or a powerful slam) to temporarily daze your opponent. This allowsyou time to climb out.

Hell in the CellTM

Hell in the Cell TM adds a roof to the 10-foot chain-link fence.Climb up and do battle on top of the cage. Watch your oppo-nent get slammed through the cage to the canvas below. Toexit the cage, break your opponent through the fence with anIrish Whip (1+4). You might have to repeat the maneuver toblast through the walls or roof. To win a Hell in the Cell TM

match, you need a submission or a pin fall.

Ladder MatchIn a Ladder match, the title beltdangles from the ceiling; setup a ladder in the ring andclimb to get it. Before you gofor the belt, daze your oppo-nent so you have time to climband get it. Also, swing the lad-der like a weapon to weakenand daze your opponent.

WrestleMania® HistoryDo you like Ladder matches? Then watchWrestleMania ® X. Shawn MichaelsTM and

Razor RamonTM squared off in one of the mostmemorable Ladder matches in history. Razor

RamonTM won the match and claimed theIntercontinental Championship belt.

Table Match

Table matches are tricky. To win one, knock your opponent outthrough the table. To do this, set up the table near the turnbuckle,then throw your opponent onto the table. Climb up the turn-buckle (3 + control stick) and strike from the top rope.

TLC MatchTM

There’s no tender loving care in a TLCTM match—TLCTM standsfor Tables, Ladders & ChairsTM. Use the tables and chairs to subdue your opponent long enough for you to use the ladderto grab the title belt.

Ironman Match

When you pin an opponent in an Ironman match, yourSuperstar wins points. But the match continues until the timelimit expires. The Superstar with the most points at the end ofthe time limit wins. The Ironman match is only available as aSingle competition, not for Tag Team, Triple-ThreatTM, Fatal Four-WayTM, Battle Royal, or Royal Rumble® matches.

WrestleMania ® HistoryFor the third installment of WrestleMania®, the

Pontiac Silverdome was selected to host theevent. And what an excellent choice it was—

93,173 people packed in to see the Superstarsdo battle, the largest crowd for an indoor event.In the main event, Hulk HoganTM took on Andre

the GiantTM and won the championship.Wrestling fans will always remember the sightof HoganTM body-slamming the massive Andre

the GiantTM at WrestleMania® III.

Capturing the ChampionshipTwo paths through WrestleMania® lead to the championship.Along Path of a Champion, you climb the ranks to reach anyof the six major titles of World Wrestling EntertainmentTM. Orselect Battle for the Belts to collect the 51 belts available. Youcan put your belt on the line and let a friend try to take it fromyou, or you can compete for one of his or hers.

As you battle for the top spot, remember the basic strategies.Block and reverse your opponent’s moves to claim the top spotin . Practice your technique in Exhibition matches beforegoing for your title shot. The Superstars are the best in thebusiness, so you need to be at the top of your game.

Practice, practice, practice.Strive for peak conditionbefore heading into thesquared circle to go for a title shot.

High-flying moves from thetop of the ropes excite thefans and devastate youropponent. Watch out,though ...

... if your opponent gets upin time, your attempt endsin disaster. Pick your spotsand weigh the risk versusreward before you climb the turnbuckle.

Similar advice applies whenweapons are involved.

Swinging a weapon takes time. The move istelegraphed, so your opponent sneaks in with aquick attack.

As you move closer to thechampionship belts, thecompetition gets stiffer.

Use repeated, quick-strikingattacks to wear down youropponent.

Once you’ve worked overthe champ a little bit ...

... go for the big moves andthen the pin. With a littlepatience the championshipcan be yours.

BioThe Dudley BoyzTM have made claims on many occasions thatthey are the best tag team in the world today, and history supports their beliefs, as they are the only tag team to ever winthe Federation, WCWTM, and ECW Tag Team Championships.The Dudley BoyzTM had previously spent four years in thePhiladelphia-based Extreme Championship Wrestling promotion.Bubba RayTM joined up first, and D-VonTM, a native of the “SouthSide of DudleyvilleTM,” came shortly after.

In addition, their finisher, 3DTM—the DudleyDeath DropTM—is one of the most feared maneuvers in the world.

With the recent brand extension, the brothers have been mak-ing a name for themselves as single stars. On his first night solo,Bubba captured the Hardcore Champion and has since revealedhis dancing skills.

CHRIS JERICHO TM

StatsHEIGHT WEIGHT FROM

6' 0" 231 lbs. Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

WWETM Undisputed Champion; WCWTM Champion; Intercontinental Champion; European Champion;Hardcore Champion; Tag Team Champion; WCWTM TV Champion; WCWTM Cruiserweight Champion

BioThey said he was too small to ever be a “main-event Superstar.” They said he couldn’t“win the big one.” Chris JerichoTM proved them all wrong. JerichoTM first appeared onWorld Wrestling EntertainmentTM television on the August 9, 1999, episode ofRaw®—live from Chicago. Windy City fans have a reputation for being rabid—andon that day, they more than lived up to it. When JerichoTM appeared on theTitanTronTM, the fans went crazy. A star was born. JerichoTM immediately gave himselfa nickname—“Y2JTM”—to emphasize that he was the Superstar for the new millenni-um. During the ensuing two years, JerichoTM won the Intercontinental Championshipon four occasions, the Tag Team Championship twice, and the European andHardcore titles as well. An impressive résumé to be sure, but after coming in withsuch a bang, some critics suggested that his first two years with the company hadbeen a disappointment because he didn’t win the World Championship. Before com-ing to this organization, JerichoTM had four unquestionably disappointing years inWCWTM, so some doubters suggested that he lacked the size necessary ever to makeit to the top. It certainly couldn’t have been a lack of charisma or athletic ability—JerichoTM has those to spare. Finally, in late 2001, JerichoTM forced all his doubtersto, as he would say, “Shut the hell up.TM” He “won the big one,” defeating The Rock®

at October’s No Mercy® pay-per-view to capture the WCWTM Championship. Then,in December at VengeanceTM, he became the only man to defeat The Rock® andStone Cold Steve AustinTM in the same night, and thus became the Undisputed WorldChampion. That night, December 9, in San Diego, California, he also became theonly Superstar to hold five different titles in this organization.

D-VON DUDLEY TM

The Dudley BoyzTM have made claims on many occasions thatthey are the best tag team in the world today, and history supports their beliefs, as they are the only tag team to ever winthe Federation, WCWTM and ECW Tag Team Championships.The Dudley BoyzTM had previously spent four years in thePhiladelphia-based Extreme Championship Wrestling promotion.Bubba RayTM joined up first, and D-VonTM, a native of the “SouthSide of DudleyvilleTM,” came shortly after.

While there, the DudleyzTM competed in some of the most violent, bloody, and dangerous matches ever, battling in barbed-wire rings and throwing their opponents through flaming tableson many occasions. In addition, their finisher, 3DTM—the DudleyDeath DropTM—is one of the most feared maneuvers in the world.

With the recent brand extension, the brothers have beenmaking a name for themselves as singles stars. On orders fromMr. McMahonTM, D-VonTM found himself to become Mr.McMahon’sTM spiritual advisor. He’s here to love the good,destroy the bad and make his fellow Superstars “Testify.TM”Stats

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

Tag Team Champion; Intercontinental Champion; WCWTM U.S. Champion

BioHow many of us can say that we accomplished our lifelong dream? How manyof us can say that we’re doing exactly what we wanted to do when we werechildren? EdgeTM can.

One of the brightest young stars in World Wrestling EntertainmentTM, EdgeTM

sat on the floor for WrestleMania® VI at SkyDome in Toronto, watching HulkHoganTM battle Ultimate WarriorTM. Although he was only 16 at the time, EdgeTM

already knew that he wanted to follow in the footsteps of HoganTM; he wantedto be a WWE Superstar. Twelve years later, more than 68,000 people watchedEdgeTM as he competed at WrestleMania® X8 at SkyDome in Toronto. EdgeTM

already accomplished a career highlight at SkyDome—in July 1999, when hewon the Intercontinental Championship there. The Canadian Superstar hasexcelled in both singles and tag-team action. Along with his brother ChristianTM,he won the Tag Team Championship seven times, a record for a duo. EdgeTM &ChristianTM were also part of some of the most memorable tag matches in histo-ry—including the Ladder match at WrestleMania® 2000; the Tables, Ladders &ChairsTM (TLCTM) match at SummerSlamTM in 2000; TLCTM II at WrestleMania® X-Seven; and TLCTM III on the May 24, 2001, episode of SmackDown!TM But whenEdgeTM won the 2001 King of the Ring® tournament, his brother ChristianTM

seemed to grow increasingly jealous. He insisted, for example, on always car-rying EdgeTM’s King of the Ring® trophy. Then, on September 3, 2001, EdgeTM

was a part of another unforgettable event in Toronto—but this time, it was unfor-gettable in the sense that it was shocking. On a live episode of Raw® from theAir Canada Centre, ChristianTM assaulted EdgeTM with a steel chair as the home-town fans held their breath in disbelief. Arguably the greatest tag team in histo-ry had abruptly come to an end. EdgeTM now looks to become one of the great-est singles competitors of all time. The early returns are favorable: he defeatedChristianTM in an epic Ladder match at No Mercy® 2001 to become theIntercontinental Champion. In fact, he has already won the Intercontinental titleon four occasions.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTSWorld Champion; WCW World Champion; WWE Undisputed Champion

In the 1980s, Hollywood Hulk HoganTM (the performer) and Mr. McMahonTM

(the promoter) revolutionized professional wrestling, taking it from dark,smoke-filled arenas to the mainstream. When Mr. McMahonTM createdWrestleMania® in 1985, the main attraction was HoganTM. Two yearslater, Mr. McMahonTM wanted WrestleMania® to be “bigger, badder andbetter” than ever. WrestleMania® III, then, was held in front of 93,173fans at the Pontiac Silverdome. The main attraction? HoganTM. By the timeHoganTM left this organization in the early 1990s and jumped to WCWTM,he was such a big star that WCWTM became legitimate competition forthis company. In 1996, he joined two other former Superstars—ScottHallTM and Kevin NashTM—to form the nWoTM (New World Order).

Boosting ratings was merely an externality to HoganTM and his nWoTM

cohorts. They were only out for themselves. It didn’t take long forWCWTM competitors to realize that, and eventually fans did as well.They were both driven away in droves as the weeks and months wentby. In 2001, WCWTM went out of business.

Mr. McMahonTM brought HoganTM back with the intention to destroy hiscompany. But once the HulksterTM rekindled his relationship with the fans,he decided he wanted no part of McMahonTM or the nWo’sTM evil ways.

Now, HoganTM has once again become one of the most popular athleteson the planet. So, whatcha gonna do when HulkamaniaTM runs wild?TM

Bio

No Superstar in history has made more of an immediateimpact than KaneTM. On October 5, 1997, the world metKaneTM, as the seven-foot monster tore off the door to Hell in the Cell TM in order to get to his brother, UndertakerTM. The siblings later fought in the first-ever Inferno MatchTM! Less thanone year after he arrived, KaneTM became the WorldChampion by defeating Stone Cold Steve AustinTM at the1998 King of the Ring®. Though his reign was short lived, the seven-foot monster proved he could live up to all expectations. Since then, KaneTM has been a Tag TeamChampion on five occasions. Once a man of no emotion,KaneTM has somewhat broken out of his shell. However, theseven-footer still remains a monster in the ring.

BioWhen Kevin NashTM sets his mind to something, he usuallyaccomplishes it. As WWE Superstar Diesel, NashTM set hissights on the World Championship. Not only did he win it inNovember 1994, but he held it for a full year—the longesttitle reign in the past decade. NashTM left this organization in1996 for WCWTM. He joined the nWoTM with Scott HallTM andteamed with HallTM to form the OutsidersTM. They wantedWCWTM’s Tag Team titles, and they got them. Later, he wantedthe WCWTM Championship. Not only did he win it, but he didso at StarrcadeTM—WCWTM’s flagship pay-per-view. NowNashTM is back in the WWE. His goal this time? To put thecompany out of business, much the way he did in WCWTM.Can anybody stop him?

KURT ANGLE TM

German Suplex 1+W (Behind)

Front Suplex 1+W (Facing)

StatsHEIGHT WEIGHT FROM FAVORITE QUOTE

6' 2" 220 lbs. Pittsburgh, PA “It’s true. It’s true!TM”

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

World Champion; WCWTM Champion; Intercontinental Champion; European Champion;

WCWTM U.S. Champion; King of the Ring® 2000; Hardcore Champion

BioKurt AngleTM captured national attention in 1996 when he won the 220-poundfreestyle wrestling competition at the Olympic Games in Atlanta. And theextraordinarily proud AngleTM—some would say conceited—surely won’t letanyone forget about it! When the crowd has the audacity not to cheer forhim, AngleTM wonders aloud how anyone can boo a gold medalist. In 2000—AngleTM’s first full year in this organization—the Pittsburgh native had probably the best rookie campaign in history. After winning theEuropean and Intercontinental titles, AngleTM took the 2000 King of the Ring®

crown. Then, in October, he won the World Championship, defeating TheRock® at No Mercy®. The momentum did not stop in 2001. AngleTM won theWorld Championship for a second time—beating Stone Cold Steve AustinTM

in AngleTM’s hometown—as well as the WCWTM title. Whether the crowd is chanting “Angle! Angle!TM” as they did that night in Pittsburgh, or, more likely, “You suck! You suck!TM” there’s no denying Kurt AngleTM’s accomplish-ments. When it’s all said and done, AngleTM could go down in history as the greatest of all time. Oh, it’s true!

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

Hardcore Champion

BioDubbed “The Rookie MonsterTM” in Extreme ChampionshipWrestling, RhynoTM compiled arguably the most dominant firstyear in the company’s history, capturing both the ECW WorldHeavyweight and Television Championships. RhynoTM’s combina-tion of power and agility made him an unstoppable force inECW, and he’s wasted no time in taking out the competition inthe World Wrestling EntertainmentTM.

After running roughshod through ECW, RhynoTM quickly assertedhimself in here by helping EdgeTM & ChristianTM capture their recordsixth Tag Team Championship, and was a major factor in helpingE&CTM winning TLCTM II at WrestleMania® X-Seven. In ECW,RhynoTM wasted no time in becoming a champion. Can he captureWWE gold just as quickly? Considering RhynoTM’s track recordand what he brings to the table, it may be a good idea not to bet against him.

StatsHEIGHT WEIGHT FROM FAVORITE QUOTE

5' 11" 220 lbs. Charlotte, NC “Woooooo!TM”

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

WCWTM Champion; Federation Champion; WCWTM U.S. Champion; WCWTM Tag Team Champion; 1992 Royal Rumble® winner

BioRic FlairTM is perhaps the most incredible performer the sports-entertainment industry hasever seen. Over his legendary 25-year career, the “Nature BoyTM” has been one of themost decorated Superstars of all time, having held the NWA/WCWTM title on 14 occasions,and the World Championship on two occasions. He is also a multi-time U.S. and Tag TeamChampion. Besides being one of the most accomplished in-ring performers of our time,FlairTM is also a star outside the squared circle. The Nature BoyTM likes to call himself a “limousine-ridin‘, lear jet-flyin‘, kiss-stealin‘, wheelin‘-dealin‘ son of a gun, who’s kissed allthe girls and made them cry!TM” Indeed, Flair’sTM charisma and energy have made him afavorite of fans from coast to coast, and especially in his hometown of Charlotte, NorthCarolina. During Flair’sTM first tenure in this organization (from 1991 to 1993), he struttedaround with the WCWTM title, calling himself the “Real World’s Champion.TM” In 1992, hestaged perhaps the greatest performance in Royal Rumble® history, capturing the vacantWorld Championship by lasting over an hour in the Rumble® event. After losing the title toRandy SavageTM in the main event of WrestleMania® VIII, FlairTM regained the title in lateAugust of 1992, and then lost the championship to Bret HartTM the following month. Now, “NaitchTM” is back, and he has again shocked the world by revealing that he is the50-percent owner of World Wrestling EntertainmentTM! That means that the “Nature BoyTM”and Vince McMahonTM must coexist as partners to run the biggest sports-entertainment company on the planet!

ROB VAN DAM TM

6' 0" 220 lbs. Battle Creek, MI “R-V-D!TM”

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

International Champion; Hardcore Champion; ECW Television Champion; ECW Tag Team Champion

BioCall Rob Van DamTM what you will—”Mr. Monday NightTM,” “TheWhole F’N ShowTM,” “Mr. Pay-Per-ViewTM”—but the RVDTM whohelped lead ECW’s invasion of this organization, is better, strongerand wiser. Van DamTM captivated ECW’s loyal following with scintillating martial arts skills and eye-poppingmaneuvers, including the Van Dam-inatorTM, the Van TerminatorTM

and the Five-Star Frog Splash. His magnificent abilities in the ringhelped him set an ECW record 23-month reign as World TelevisionChampion. Today, Van DamTM says he’s at the peak of his career,having fully recovered from a broken fibula that halted it for threemonths. And that’s scary for anyone who thinks they can stop some-one who has every right to brag about how great he is! Just ask theman who discovered him: “We built a huge part of ECW aroundRob Van DamTM,” said Paul HeymanTM. “I have no regrets aboutthat. He is perhaps the most spectacular athlete that this industryhas to offer today.”

SCOTT HALL TM

Nobody knows more about injecting poison into a sports-entertain-ment company than Scott HallTM. HallTM became a breakout star inthis organization in the early 1990s, competing as Razor RamonTM.He even won the Intercontinental Championship on four occasions.

But, behind the scenes, HallTM and his buddies—including KevinNashTM—were making life miserable. The morale in the locker roomwas at an all-time low.

In 1996, fans got to see what Superstars and staff already knew:that HallTM and his friends did what they wanted, when they wanted.HallTM was the charter member of the New World OrderTM. During anepisode of WCWTM Monday NitroTM on Memorial Day 1996, HallTMsauntered through the crowd and interrupted the live show, saying that he and his buddies were declaring war on WCWTM.

It was one of the most shocking moments in sports-entertainmenthistory, as were the appearances of Kevin NashTM and HollywoodHulk HoganTM as his teammates. The trio was soon runningroughshod through WCWTM, attacking the organization from within,and ultimately leading to the group’s downfall.

STEPHANIEMcMAHON TM

StatsFROM CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

Greenwich, CT Women’s Champion

BioThey call her the “Billion-Dollar PrincessTM”, and perhaps no nickname ismore appropriate.

Since birth, Stephanie McMahonTM has led a privileged life. The daughter of VinceTM and LindaTM McMahon, StephanieTM has grown upin the sports-entertainment business. She lives, eats, and breathes WorldWrestling EntertainmentTM, and as a result, has developed one of the most cunning minds in the history of the industry. StephanieTM’s rise toSuperstardom coincided with her surprise marriage to Triple HTM inNovember 1999. The couple wreaked havoc on the Federation during theensuing “McMahon-HelmsleyTM era,” a time that even saw StephanieTM

become Women’s Champion. After “The GameTM”went down to a quadri-ceps injury in May 2001, StephanieTM stayed on the sidelines for a fewmonths, but the lure of the squared circle was just too strong. In July 2001,she revealed to the world that she had purchased Extreme ChampionshipWrestling (ECW), and she and her brother, ShaneTM, formed the Alliance!

When the Alliance was driven out of business at the 2001 SurvivorSeries®, StephanieTM was again thrust to the sidelines. After returning withTriple HTM in January 2002, StephanieTM and “The GameTM”began to havesome marriage problems, and the “McMahon-HelmsleyTM era” is now histo-ry! You don’t want to get on Stephanie McMahonTM’s bad side. The “Billion-Dollar PrincessTM”has shown time and again that she’s no one to be messedwith—and she always gets her way!

STONE COLD STEVEAUSTIN TM

Stone Cold Steve AustinTM is arguably the greatest Superstar in the history of WorldWrestling EntertainmentTM. A six-time World Champion, the Texas RattlesnakeTM hasmain-evented three WrestleMania® events, won the Royal Rumble® match three times,and has had memorable matches against the greatest Superstars in the game.AustinTM’s era of greatness began at the 1996 King of the Ring®. After winning thetournament, AustinTM coined the phrase, “Austin 3:16TM,” which means that “I justwhipped your ass!TM” He would go on to win his first World Championship atWrestleMania® XIV in 1998 with some help from boxer Mike Tyson, and would thensegue into the infamous “AustinTM vs. McMahonTM” feud, which propelled sports-enter-tainment into the stratosphere. After returning from a career-threatening neck injuryin 2000, the RattlesnakeTM quickly climbed back to the top of the roster, culminatingin his World Championship win over The Rock® at WrestleMania® X-Seven, in frontof 67,925 of his fellow Texans at the Reliant Astrodome! He’s a trash-talkin’, beer-swillin’, finger-gesturin’, ass-kickin’ S.O.B., and millions of World Wrestling EntertainmentTM fans wouldn’t have it any other way!

In 1998, Paul Heyman gave TajiriTM anopportunity in Extreme Championship Wrestling, where theJapanese BuzzsawTM worked a series of memorable matches,including a few with TazzTM. Tajiri’sTM blinding, rapid-fire kicksto the face and an unorthodox maneuver called the TarantulaTM

“I am ‘The GameTM,’ and I am that DAMN good!TM”

BioTriple HTM calls himself “The GameTM,” and you’d be hard-pressed to find any-one who disagrees with that assumption. Since making his debut here in thespring of 1995, Hunter Hearst-HelmsleyTM has done it all in the sports-enter-tainment industry. He’s the only man in the history of the business to havebeen a Grand-Slam Champion and to have won the King of the Ring® andthe Royal Rumble®. Triple H’sTM dedication to the business was never moreevident than on the May 21, 2001, episode of Raw®. On that night, “TheGameTM” teamed with Stone Cold Steve AustinTM to take on Chris BenoitTM

and Chris JerichoTM in a Tag Team Championship match. During the bout,Triple HTM tore his left quadriceps muscle completely off the bone. Yet “TheGameTM” found the heart to finish the bout, never once even thinking aboutgiving up. After eight months of hellacious rehab, “The GameTM” returned toa hero’s welcome on the January 7, 2002, episode of Raw ®. Now a fanfavorite for the first time in years, Triple HTM has also broken up with his wife,Stephanie McMahonTM. Although the “Billion-Dollar PrincessTM” is out for“The Game’sTM” blood, Triple HTM will no doubt remain at the top ofWorld Wrestling EntertainmentTM!

BioOne of the most sultry divas in the history of sports-entertainment, Trish StratusTM has already made quite a name for herself here. Herbeauty is second to none, and her brains and brawn make her the totalpackage. TrishTM made her first appearance just prior to WrestleMania®

2000. She teamed up TestTM and AlbertTM, calling them “T&ATM.” Theduo was victorious at WrestleMania®, which was Trish’sTM pay-per-viewdebut. Later that summer, she would guide Val VenisTM to theIntercontinental Championship before going off on her own and gettinginvolved with the company’s owner Vince McMahonTM. The two spent alot of time together that winter, earning the ire of Vince’s daughter,StephanieTM. StephanieTM and TrishTM engaged in a memorable match atNo Way Out TM 2001, with StephanieTM pulling out the win. A monthlater, at WrestleMania®, TrishTM would turn her back on VinceTM andStephanieTM, tired of being used. After laying low for a while, TrishTM

made her next big bang at the 2001 Survivor Series®, capturing theWomen’s Championship for the first time. It seems that TrishTM is on topof her game—and she’s determined not to let anyone knock her down!

Although he has been cheered for most of his career, the fans havebegun to boo the American BadassTM as of late. ’Taker® has been on a constantquest for respect, and that has come at the expense of some of the most popularSuperstars in sports entertainment. If any man has earned respect over the past 11years, it’s the Undertaker®—and he’s determined to make the fans show him somerespect, especially now that he holds the WWE Undisputed Championship.

WILLIAMREGAL TM

BioWhen William RegalTM joined this company in September 2000, he cameas a goodwill ambassador from his homeland of Great Britain. He wantedto show Americans how to act like upstanding citizens, and he let everyoneknow how appalled he was at the low level of class Americans displayed.

In March 2001, his goodwill won over Mr. McMahonTM, and RegalTM

was handed the title of Commissioner. For months, with his houseboyTajiriTM as his loyal servant, Commissioner RegalTM won over the fans bybeing a leader against the Alliance. However, in October 2001, RegalTM

decided to turn his back on the company, and he joined the Alliance. LindaMcMahonTM decided to immediately fire RegalTM as Commissioner, and, inturn, ShaneTM and StephanieTM crowned RegalTM as the first-ever commission-er of the Alliance. However, after the fall of the Alliance at Survivor Series®

2001, RegalTM did the unthinkable. He kissed Mr. McMahonTM’s nakedbackside on national television to get his job back! Fans still laugh atrecalling Regal’sTM humiliation at the hands of the company owner. ButRegal’sTM in-ring success is no laughing matter. The U.K. native is a multi-time champion, and possesses one of the most painful maneuvers in themat game today—the Regal stretchTM.
