Unused Match Commentary

This is a sub-page of WWF Attitude (PlayStation)/Unused Audio.

Bundled amongst the three or so hours of recorded lines, there are clips that don't reach the ears of the player. For some, this is because the feature was cut during development. For others, who knows.

Note that for every line that features a gender, an equivalent exists for the other gender. All lines by Shane McMahon unless stated.

Corner Groggy#

These are unused because there is no specific commentary for being whipped to, or pummeled in, the corner.

Audio

Phrase

Dazed in the corner

Gotta get out of there

In the corner

In the corner with nowhere to go

Into the corner

Out in the corner

Slumps in the corner

Stuck in the corner

Covering / Pinning#

As above, there is no specific commentary for pinning a felled opponent, only for rolling up a standing one.

Audio

Phrase

Flat on the back

Going for the cover (two takes)

He goes for the cover

Hooks the leg

... is looking up at those lights

It's over right here King

Over for the cover

She hooks the leg

The cover!

The cover by...

The leg's hooked

There's the cover!

Submissions#

Putting the hurting on people to make them quit, you best believe there's quotes for that!

Audio

Phrase

Do you give?

Goes for the submission

High leverage submission hold there

I can hear him tapping King

Painful submission hold there

Say Uncle

She goes for the submission King

Submission hold by...

Tries for the submission here

Will she tap out?

Move Impact#

Occasionally after high impact moves you'll get a taunt from the person who dealt the damage. but rarely anything from commentary. It's on the disc though.

Audio

Phrase

Very smooth high impact move there

Brutal maneuver there

Lots of leverage there

Oh King, he got decapitated

This is a slugfest king

What a move right there

Right onto the hard concrete floor

Up, close and personal with the concrete

What a move right there

Move / Taunt Names#

One obvious omission from commentary compared to Warzone, is the play by play calling of the moves. It isn't due to the lack of audio, the names of most wrestler's finisher and trademarks exist. The Rock gets special treatment with seven separate variations, conclusively proving Vince likes him more than Stone Cold.

Removed Jobber Names#

The game was to initially contain a band of jobbers for season mode. As they were removed, most names and designs were subsumed into the Create A Wrestler mode. Some nicknames, however, were left out altogether.

Audio

Name

Bubba (King only)

The Chin (King)
The Chin Chinny Chin

El Giganto

Killer

Saddam

Tank

Trailer Trash

Tag Team Saves#

Breaking up a pinning combination or submission attempt in a tag team match doesn't elicit any specific commentary, but it is there on the disc.

Audio

Phrase

And it's broken up

Big time save

... breaks it up

Great tag team strategy King

Just in time

... made the save

... makes the save

That's what friends are for

That's what you call a good tag team King

... was just able to make the save there

... with the save

... with the save big time

Royal Rumble Eliminations / Tossed Out The Ring#

There are a few quotes for being thrown over the top rope by a grapple move, but none for being pickup up and dumped. Maybe these were they. Also comments about being thrown through the ropes, something you can't do in game.

Audio

Phrase

Going, going, gone

Going outdoors

Head first, over the top rope

He goes over the top

...just dumped him outside

Nice toss out

... sails over the top rope

She got dumped

There's a toss out

Head first through the ropes

... tossed that piece of trash

... tosses her over the top

... tosses him out effortlessly

Tossed through the ropes

The whip to the outside

Up and over

Up and over the ropes

Up, up and away (first one is used, second isn't)

Post Throw Out#

This section includes phrases regarding the eventual dumping ground of thrown out characters. Note that the first is the only commentary line in the game that doesn't have a similar line for the opposite sex.

Audio

Phrase

I was hoping she would land in our lap, King

I can't believe she threw her that far, King

He's gonna be in a world of hurt now

That's what happens when you get thrown outside, King

Royal Rumble Win#

Another case where no specific commentary is heard for the occasion despite it being there for both commentators in all their 14KHz monaural glory.

Audio

Phrase

... beats 'em all

... has won it

... is the last one standing

... takes it

Cage Matches#

There's some cage specific commentary uttered during matches, but there's plenty more that's not.

Climbing the Cage#

Climbing the cage at any time elicits the same commentary whether you can climb out and win or not. One of these should be played instead when you're in such an advantageous position.

Audio

Phrase

Uh oh, she can win this match if she can make it to the top

He's going for the win

This could be it right here

... with an attempt to get over the top

... can win it right here

... with a chance to win it here

... goes for the win

... is going for the climbout

And one of these should be played if you fail, or get thrown into it.

Audio

Phrase

That steel cage is unforgiving

Oh, coming down the hard way

Couldn't make it over the top

Down to the mat!

Coming down on the wrong side (of town)

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

Takes a long drop

... isn't gonna let her out that easy

Winning#

There's even explicit speech for actually getting out, from both commentators.

Audio

Phrase

Good thing he got out of there

He escapes

She gets out

She made it

He made it over

She makes it out

He's outta there

Over the top for the win

End of the Match#

At the end of the match you usually end up with silence from the commentators. They just can't bring themselves to bring a close to preceedings.

Audio

Phrase

He gets it

He takes the match

That's all she wrote

The fat lady's signing now

And that's it, end of story

Game over

And the match is over

It's all over

Get ready for the dirt nap

This match is over

Fuggedaboud, this one's over

Turn out the lights

What a match

Disqualified#

The basic rules of Pro Wrestling define four ways to win a match, this game says to hell with the rules and only implements three. You can never be disqualified, so at least these have a reason for not being heard.

Audio

Phrase

Disqualified!

... gets disqualified

... wins by disqualification

There's a disqualification

Count Outs#

Audio

Phrase

... couldn't make it in in time

... wins by a countout

... won by a countout

There's the countout

Aerial Move Reaction#

These people were jumping off of things onto concrete long before Youtube existed, but you don't hear them talking about it. That's why it's here.

Jumping#

Audio

Phrase

FROM THE APRON!

Off the apron

Clear the runway!

Coming from upstairs!

Coming off the top of the cage

Da plane! Da plane!
(This is an impression of Tattoo from Fantasy Island)

From the top of the cage

From WAY upstairs!

It's the halo jump

Look out below

Off the cage

Top of the cage

Missing#

Audio

Phrase

Oops, that didn't pay (King)

Who was piloting that plane King?

Ooh, that plane didn't have a pilot (King)

Ooh, suck that one up (King)

He got out of the way just in time

Ouch, what a loser (King)

Fake Outs / Sneak Attacks#

Underhanded heelish tactics make this a perfect time to shine for Attitude Era Jerry Lawler.

Audio

Phrase

He lured him into that one!

She faked her out!

(That was a) Great fake!

Good defence there

He's such a sneak

He was lucky

He was playing possum

Oh, that's just not right, Shane

Nice defensive move

That came out of nowhere Shane

That was pure luck

Where'd that come from?

Very deceptive!

Very nice!

Bite her ear! (laughing)
Bite her ear!

She really suckered...

She sure fooled...

That really surprised...

... wasn't expected that

... can't believe it

... didn't see that coming

... fell for it

Idling#

If you leave the game to its own devices during a match you either get beat up, or for a multiplayer match, nothing. You probably should have got this commentary instead, courtesy of the King.

Audio

Phrase

Somebody didn't take their vitamins today

Do something, anything!

I got into this show for free Shane, and it still wasn't worth it

I wonder if they heard the bell

I'll tell you something Shane, if I were in there most of them would be dead by now

Catching up on a little lost sleep are we?

Maybe they're all just stupid

Move, move, move

This must be a new kind of submission tactic, Shane

There not doing anything, what idiots

I'd rather watch two old women slap each other

What's going on? When did we start pausing for commercials?

They're wrestling impaired

They don't know which end is up Shane

Let's see, elect... election... electricute... oh here it is, of or relating to a measurement of brain activity
(This is in relation to the King's "Electroencephalographically challenged" line)

Y'know Shane, most of these fans haven't eaten in a long time. There's no telling what they'll do

Uh oh, it looks like Mom caught him playing video games before homework again

Bad news Shane. I think we're running out of air in here!

Hey! I don't think you realize that while you may be taking a break, we're still working hard in here.

C'mon!

Uh, maybe someone out there got stuck in the bathroom

General#

Clips that don't fit into any of the other categories.

Audio

Phrase

That's it, break it off

Going for the ride

How hideous

Man, they are going crazy

She coldcocked her

She's getting her lovely buttocks handed to her

Shut up you little twit (King)

Woo! Get pumped up

Studley! (King)
