WCW Backstage Assault for Sony PlayStation 1 is a wrestling video game that deviates from the traditional ring-based matches, focusing instead on hardcore brawling in various backstage areas. Developed by Kodiak Interactive and published by Electronic Arts, it falls under the sports entertainment/fighting genre. Released in December 2000, players can fight in locker rooms, loading docks, and other behind-the-scenes settings using an assortment of improvised weapons. The game features popular WCW wrestlers and aims to capture the intense and often chaotic nature of wrestling's hardcore style.
