Kin Corn Karn Says: Though I'm from Korea, I practice the Mongolian way of wrestling. The monk who taught me advised to only perform silly kicks and slaps. Well, he calls them chops, but that's just to make me feel stronger. I'm such a wimp! |

What Kind Of Game Is This?
A more exhilarating representation of a fake sport than the sport itself.
Fake Sport? Those Wrestlers Are Great Athletes! It's Good Dramatic Entertainment!
But the outcomes are predetermined. And to be honest, the moves in this game look a lot more painful than what they do on the television.
Does It Have Real Wrestlers?
No license for that. But the seven wrestlers here all have distinctive moves and are very colorful (including their names). King Slender, for instance, looks like a banana.
What Are The Rules?
Defeat the other wrestlers in five minutes, either by a three-second pin or a twenty-second ring-out. Then defend your title twice with each wrestler. Finally, defeat the Great Puma to win the game. Of course, you can play against a friend, but there's no tag-team style.
Any Cool Moves?
Not even that, but they're all easy to perform. Everyone can punch, body slam, pile drive, and (my favorite) do a rolling sole butt, but each wrestler has one or two signature moves. For example, Star Man does a Somersault Kick and The Amazon does the Outlaw Choke. The ropes even come into play and you can jump off the posts.
Any Drawbacks?
It's a button mashing game, which is fine, but can cause Nintendo Thumb if you play it too long.
So Who Would You Recommend This To?
Anyone who wants an easy wrestling game to play and has the dexterity necessary to mash the A button. Despite its simplicity, most people consider it the best wrestling game on the NES.
