40 free WWF No Mercy trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
WWF No Mercy arrived on Nintendo 64 in late 2000 and never really left. More than two decades on, fans still mod it, still argue it is the best wrestling game ever made, and still measure every new release against it. This quiz covers the game the way its players remember it: the roster of the WWF's biggest names from that era, the hidden characters and how they fit in, the match types and modes, the famous cartridge fault, and the awards and successors that followed. It is built for anyone who spent hours with four controllers and a full ring, and for wrestling fans who want to see how well they remember who made the cut.
