WCW vs. NWO lets players assemble an all-star team of up to five wrestling superstars. In Exhibition Match, brawlers can bash heads against the computer or a friend in a single, tag team, handicap tag team and four-player battle royal match. Tournament also lets enthusiasts compete in a 16-man round robin except players are eliminated without a second chance.
