Two hot dogs, a six pack and a PPV or Wrestling tape. What more could a guy possibly need?!?!

| #2 Posted on 21.4.02 1200.29 | I remember this game, but faintly. Besides the obvious likenesses to actual wrestlers, the only other things I remember was that all moves were controlled by a giant "Action" button (which was quite durable) and that your character's vitality could be extended by inserting more coins into the machine (similar to another great Konami beat-em-up Crime Fighters). Fun stuff though, although I doubt I spent as much as you did a weekend playing it hehe.

| #3 Posted on 23.4.02 1320.15 | A fun game, but it could be easily mastered.
Select two of the smaller guys (I generally took Kamikaze Ken and either El Condor or San Antonio Smasher). Win one grapple, do an Irish whip, and backdrop the opponent out of the ring. You could then pick the hapless opponent off the floor, fling him one way, repeat, and climb back in the ring to beat the 20-count. Lather, rinse, repeat until bored -- I went four hours on one quarter once.
(You needed Kamikaze Ken, because the other two weren't able to backdrop Alan the Empire.)
The only obstacle was winning that first grapple, which could be rough if the Maui Mauler or Conan the Great went into one of their I'll-win-the-grapples-no-matter-how-good-your-timing-is fits, as they were wont to do now and then. "Con-a-Mania is running wild!"
It's in MAME. Try it and see!
Of course, there are some with obscene reflexes who could slap on one submission hold and whack the button fast enough to get near-instant wins. We had a guy like that in college, and he was a marvel to behold. The backdrop method is much easier on the hands, however.

Man, I had a buddy like that too. He'd make me submit really fast, especially with the "Figure Four Leglock!!". It was frustrating as hell.
