WWE Crush Hour is a video game released on the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube consoles by THQ. It was one of only two WWE games that was of a different genre than the regular professional wrestling games usually produced (the other being WWF Betrayal). An Xbox port was planned but was eventually cancelled.

The plot of the game consists of Vince McMahon ending up having control over all of the television networks, making WWE superstars feature on any TV show or commercial that he wants. His newest project, titled "Crush Hour", a demolition derby-style show featuring weapons.

The game was often compared to Twisted Metal. The cars, consisting of the then-current WWE superstars as drivers, were based roughly on the superstar's character (for example, Stone Cold Steve Austin drove a monster truck while The Undertaker drove a three wheel chopper). The in-game arenas were based off both WWE television shows and matches.

[edit] Arenas

• Raw:The object of Raw is to get the required amount of kills to win the battle. Many people find Raw to be harder than Smackdown.
  
• Smackdown:The object of Smackdown is the same as Raw but Smackdown is much easier and you have a lot more space to move around. Just watch out for the big fire in the middle, touch it and you die.
  
• Lumberjack:You arrive in a big field with three opponents. There is a big star located in random places in the field. You must select the certain amount of stars you catch. If you die you lose a star/point.
  
• Ironman:The same type of rules in a normal match. Simply get the most amount of kills to win.
  
• Hell In A Cell:You appear in a tomb where the only way to escape is kill or be killed. If you die you appear out of the tomb and must wait till the other enemies kill off each other. When they do everyone will be out of the tomb. Now it's just like Raw and Smackdown, get the required amount of wins. If you do survive in the tomb you are awarded full health.
  
• Hardcore:There is a championship belt in this arena that you must catch. Once you get it you must hold on to it for thirty seconds, if you do you have completed the challenge. If you didn't and the enemies kill you before you get it for 30 seconds simply kill the enemy with the belt before they hold it for 30 seconds.
  
• Running The Gauntlet:Just like the Lumberjack match except if you fall off the roof you die and your enemies are much harder. Get the required amount of stars to win.
  
• Royal Rumble:Don't worry, you don't have to go through 29 people, just 11. There are two crowns located on the field. The objective is to hold on to one of the crowns, just like the Hardcore Match. Except two people survive every round. After the two people are eliminated the crowns are automatically put back in the original spot and you must continue this process. When it comes down to you and one more opponent then there will be one crown and you must hold on to it to win.
  
• Bottom Line:Possibly one of the hardest arenas in the game. You just have to kill the superstars a required amount of time. Be careful, if you fall off the oil rig you lose a point!
  
• Battle Royal:You have 11 opponents working their way around a subway station. It is recommended that you avoid the opponents as they are extremely tough. The opponents usually get hit by the subway. Wait till the end and go after the last opponent and kill him.
  
• King Of The Ring:You must go through 11 opponents one by one and kill them all, if you die then you must start over again.(Note:This is where the Final Battle against Vince McMahon takes place)
  
• Cage Match:You start out in a cage and you must defeat everyone. When you do a contract will appear in the middle of the cage, but the cage is opening up and your opponents will do anything to stop you from getting to the finish line. Get to the finish line the required amount of times to win. If you don't survive in the cage then just make sure to kill the opponent with the contract.
  
• Survivor Series:You have a partner as does the opponent but only one person from each team is allowed in at once. Watch out, if the opponent is about to die they will tag in their partner. Kill the other team 3 times to win.
