Let's move this to the wrestling section too

Talking about WCCW, for some reason I always remembered Mr. 705 Ted Arcidi from there. I'm sure I must've remembered him from his brief WWF stint, but then he showed up down there and it must've been one of the few names I actually recoginzed (I was only 10 and it's not like Al Gore had invented the internet yet!). Anyway, when I bought Legends of Wrestling for the X-Box when it came out, you could really go in depth to creat a wrestler, and it was time consuming and a pain in the arse, so I found a forum where people posted their own formulas to help each other out. It saved a lot of time, but I wanted to help out so I picked really obscure guys and wound up doing Outback Jack and Ted Arcidi.

Anyone remember Outback Jack?


Weirdly enough, we'd learned this song in our music class just a few years earlier so when he had WWF vignettes it was something that caught my attention as a kid.

Heck yeah I remember Outback Jack, he was there in 86-88. In fact, there was a ton a great obscure wrestlers back then in the 80s WWF (we'll get to that later). I believe he still does the gimmick to this day at special events now and then. When WWE was in Australia at Super Showdown a few years ago, I was hoping that he would show up there just for a cameo or something but as usual nothing happen and it was such a pathetic missed opportunity IMO

Cool that you got Outback Jack and Ted Arcidi during the early days of CAWs I missed a lot in the 2000s when it came to gaming, I was on a big hiatus from it till about 2014 when I got My first XBOX 360.
