7 squared circles outta 10 attitude eras.
This game hasn't aged the best, however it's still a very fun and engaging experience.

Review ApramPepo 3/5 · May 24, 2022
That's a good Wrestling game.
I'm very surprised by how good this game was, how good it played, and looked.
I do appreciate the small details of the Referee, the Camera-man, and the crowd felt so similar to Punch-Out. gotta mention the ring changing color at the end of the matches was a cool touch.

Still, this is a good game and worth playing.

One of the better Black Box sports titles for sure, but that might not be saying much.

Hours of fun when there were far fewer choices
I would play this for hours when I was kid. All I really remember was that Starman was my character of choice and the music. Fond memories but I think I had 4-5 games on my NES, max.

Definitely the best "Sports Series" NES game. Great two player game with a lot of variety in the characters, unlike the other NES sports games. The announcers mimic talking and a referee follows you around as well as a cameraman. Your character can climb up on the ropes and body-slam your opponent. You can even throw each other out of …
