Adam Cole Was Disappointed With WWF Attitude Video Game As A Kid

Adam Cole was recently a guest on Danger Zone with Chris Denker, where he discussed how disappointed he was with the WWF Attitude video game when it came out.

"The most disappointed I've ever been in a wrestling video game, because I know we both love pro wrestling and we both love video games, but I remember when WWF Attitude, when Stone Cold got on the top rope -- I bought this game. PlayStation One controller in hand, dude, ready to go. Stone Cold [was the] first option. He walks up on the top rope and his taunt, instead of [his usual pose on the ropes with two fists raised in the air, his palms were out]."

"Game development was still trying to figure out exactly how they wanted to make wrestling games, so this is no knock on them, but I remember as a 10-year-old kid playing this game he's so pumped like, 'I can't wait to watch him get up on the turnbuckle' and then... 'What in the blue hell is this?!'"

The WWF Attitude game was a repurposing of the previous game WWF War Zone. The engine was later reused to make ECW Hardcore Revolution and ECW Anarchy Rulz. Each game was largely the same, with slight modifications to update the roster and arenas mostly.
