The Hidden Reward(s)

Bonus Attribute Points
If you successfully complete the Hardcore Challenge mode, you earn bonus Attribute Points. These points can then be applied to your character to strengthen him or her for future battles.
Two points are earned for winning the U.S. Championship and three points are earned for winning the World Championship.
Hall of Champions
Only the best fighters are admitted into the Hall of Champions. Here, you will find a complete list of the toughest performers in the game and the wrestlers who have performed the best in the Hardcore Challenge, as well as the current belt-holders of the three main championships.

To gain a ranking in the Hall of Champions, you must first complete the Hardcore Challenge. Several factors determine your ranking, such as Number of Matches Won and Attack Style Points. Attack Style Points are based on the variety of attacks you utilize. To earn more points, attack from different positions and use as many moves and weapons as you can. At the conclusion of a challenge, the Score Tabulation screen appears, displaying all points earned.
Hardcore Gauntlet
Wrestlers in search of the ultimate test must undertake the Hardcore Gauntlet. This new event is known as the Hardcore Gauntlet, and foolhardy wrestlers who want to firmly establish themselves in the WCW history books can access it from the Main menu.
In this mode, you must face seven of the toughest customers in the WCW, one right after the next. There is no rest between fights (stamina is not replenished), no option to replay a lost match, and no way to save your progress. If you can successfully run the gauntlet, you earn the right to access special, hidden stars of the WCW.
Backstage Brawlin'
In WCW Backstage Assault, the action takes place in massive behind-the-scenes venues, packed with potential weapons. In the backrooms, anything goes!
Many backstage areas contain doors that allow you to move between rooms during a bout. Wooden doors let you move between rooms in the same area, while metal doors allow you to move between various areas. To open metal doors, you must unlock them during gameplay by winning key matches in Hardcore Challenge mode.
