Whilst many wrestling fans will dream of one day entering the squared circle themselves, the sad reality is that only a select few will ever join the WWE roster.

And although the rest of the fans will never feel the rush of walking that aisle and giving their all in the ring, they still have the WWE video games.

Within the realms of WWE video games, anything is possible. You can team with your favorite Superstars, have those dream matches fans will never see, or in my case, book Tommy Dreamer as the greatest World Heavyweight Champion in the history of the WWE.

But despite there being dozens of WWE games created over the years, there have been plenty of secrets that fans are yet to discover.

Here are five things you didn't know about WWE video game.

When the Big Show joined the WWF, he came with a world of anticipation.

Quickly thrust into the main event and capturing the WWF Championship at Survivor Series 1999, the 7-footer's omission from the legendary WWF No Mercy had many fans scratching their heads.

The reason for this huge omission was that the Big Show had real beef with the company quickly into his debut, who chastised the former WCW star for his weight.

Not long after losing the WWF Title, Show would be sent back to OVW, a true demotion for the former World Champion.

And although he has appeared in plenty of WWE games in the years since, not being a part of WWF No Mercy certainly must've cost the huge star a lot of money as his likeness wasn't used.
