The cartoon referee who officiates in-game matches is a caricature of Brian Hildebrand, who worked at World Championship Wrestling as a referee under the ring name "Mark Curtis" from 1995 to 1999. The game's manual identifies the referee as such, using his "Mark Curtis" ring name. Hildebrand would pass away from stomach and bowel cancer eleven months after the game's release.
