Classic, legend, old friend. Still stands tall as one of the best wrestling games out there. Tons of moves, unique characters, great graphics, dead-on gameplay, and repetitive-but-memorable music all come together in this little cart (OK, NES carts were pretty big).
Who can forget the Amazon inspecting his nails after a choke move? (I thought Amazons were women) What about Kin Korn Karn's mighty chop? How about Starman's flip kick? Remember the size of the mullet on King Slender?
I love this game to death. It has aged better than one could ever hope. Nintendo NEEDS to update this one. They'll sell tons of copies to nostalgic 20-30 somethings in an instant.
Share the love and the memories of this awesome NES game!
That's probably my favorite wrestling game. I'd love to see a modern wrestling game with great 2D graphics using that old Pro Wrestling engine. Great selection of moves and the best of all button mashing wrestling games. (Fire Pro Wrestling not being a button masher.)
I'd love an update here as well. When was the last time a non-licensed wrestling game even came out? I think it's time to see what Nintendo can do in the wrestling ring again. Heck, throw all of those zany Punchout boxers into the ring and let them wrestle it out.
- Most (all?) white trash folk like Wrestling. However, not ALL wrestling fans are white trash.
- Most white trash folks aren't into gaming (they can't afford it, or they just steal them)
- Elvis is dead, but not all dead people are Elvis.
- Most whie trash like wrestling AND jerry springer. They also like to star in episodes of cops...
- I'd say most white trash are into gaming of some sort, they buy the wrestling games.. And if you watch talk shows/jerry springer they bitch about jake does nuttin but sit on his lazy arse and play nintendo all day.(nintendo seems to be the universal word for video games amongst red necks)
Also they can afford it, they might live in a dump of a house and not have clothes but they have money for movies,vide games,beer,big tires, and dip....
player 2:"but he doesn't have any special moves! you idiot!"
rezo:"maybe not, but his punch is packed with chinese vigor!"
andI didn't actually say that, but it sure was fun beating the hell out of people with regular attacks.

Fighter Hyabusa. Back Brain Kick. best move in the game.their head sort of tilts to the side, and they crumple over. . . yeah

ANYWAYS
I especially love the siren sound the game makes when your wrestler is in BIG trouble.

That's what I was going to say. Why the hell didn't he get any special moves???

That's the one move I could never do, except by accident.
the timing on the back brain kick was tough, but you only need to land 2 to get them to critical(I think, may be 3). I'd go through entire fights just using that move.
I was just about to post about how great "Dick Slender" was, but then I remembered his name was King Slender. So he's not as cool now, despite the fact that he's a rip of Ric Flair.
Eating someone's face with the Amazon was the coolest thing ever when I was 5. I think it was the first video game I played with blood, so it was quite the revelation. Even my sister loved the Pro-Wrestling. We used to work out matches together. It didn't matter who won as long as we get in lots of face biting, choking, and dropkicks before the pinfall.
Maybe I would've liked wrestling when I was a kid if there were any wrestlers as cool as Starman on U.S. TV. This game needs a sequel.
God, my brother probably played head-to-head in that game more than any other growing up.
I still own with Starman
Of course I also kicked butt with Fighter Hayabusa, I loved his Back Brain Kick, I illicited a great many beatings from my big brother whenever I constantly used that against him

same here. and when I gave him a sound beating, he'd reset the game and act like nothing happened. this was fine for Pro Wrestling.
IT WAS NOT FINE WHEN WE WERE PLAYING THE SUPER BOWL GAME IN TECMO SUPER BOWL.
