WWF No Mercy was the last THQ wrestling game released on the Nintendo 64. Released in late 2000, the game has split fans, some preferring the previous WWF WrestleMania 2000 over No Mercy, with others preferring the latter.

WWF No Mercy was highly anticipated due to the enourmous success and critical acclaim THQ had received with WrestleMania 2000 the previous year. However No Mercy got off to a bumpy start in the UK where early copies of the game malfunctioned causing the game to reset itself randomly. Fresh copies were released in early 2001 and were noted for the removal of the blood option.

No Mercy lacked in certain departments when compared to WrestleMania 2000, firstly wrestlers entrances were cut short to showing the wrestler only appear on the stage, players never got to see wrestlers actually get into the ring despite early screen shots showing the likes of Triple H doing their full ring entrance. Also, the belt options had being changed, rather than creating a belt from scratch, players now had to complete a story mode to win the WWF Championship. While this added an extra challenge to the game, fans felt that they had been robbed of a unique and well-like option from WrestleMania 2000.

The story mode was very extensive, each WWF title featured a unique story, the WWF Championship was the longest with players taking the role of either The Rock or Triple H and reprising the classic feud between the two which dominated the WWF in early to mid 2000. After winning a title the player could return and defend their belt in a variety of stories. A notable twist in the WWF Championship story mode was the lack of The Big Show, who at the time was working at Ohio Valley Wrestling trying to lose weight. He was replaced with Steven Richards, the leader of Right to Censor.
