The primary risks in WWF No Mercy stem from its high level of cartoonish violence, which is often played for laughs and without serious consequences. This trivialization of violence, combined with a competitive online environment (if played with strangers), could foster competitive toxicity. While there are no direct monetization or dopamine manipulation mechanics in the modern sense, the game's reward structure and near-miss elements could still be engaging.
