Funny Story From CW Anderson About Being In The ECW Video Games
ECW alum CW Anderson shared two funny stories about appearing in the two video games. The first is that he & Bill Wiles (later Bilvis Wesley) were the last two wrestlers to be added to the game; but that they had to sign waivers and agree that they would get no royalties. He then talked about how he had to go to the studio and basically scream his lines into the microphone in order for the audio to come out properly on the games.
He also discussed his passion for playing video games with his going to college even to design games.
Finally, he talked about how WWE wrestler Sasha Banks - now Mercedes Mone with AEW - did an interview about how she played CW's character in the games with a funny mention about how his character looked. Here is the clip of her mentioning playing CW in the ECW games:

Here is more with CW Anderson in the second video game, Anarchy Rulz:
I love hearing behind the scenes stories like this. It’s cool how gaming and wrestling connect, and it’s even better that Mercedes Mone remembered playing his character.
That story was one I wasn't expecting to hear regarding ECW! His sense of humor about the whole situation was great as well.
