Guess the Wrestler by the Original Nintendo (NES) Character Selection (‘89-’93)

[@EliManningFan99]

The start of Dante’s heel turn.

[@Dexter-wd5wo]

the pop is gonna be legendary

[@bschuss1]

Oh that started ages ago.

[@rj6thstreet]

Edge would be so proud. Ultimate opportunist

[@OneHotToaster]

How??

[@nickpuleo5933]

I like the new set up

[@codydymco1215]

John delivered Honky Tonk Man to Dante on a silver platter.

[@hotbuoydeej]

Whoever edited this ate, the zoom on dante picking up the eraser, the callouts on the point miscounts, great job fr

[@p1justin759]

Dante's heel traits are shining through

[@simplygenetic9105]

Mountie as the wager would’ve been absolute hilarity

[@Jnashty6]

John you gotta start counting your points right brother 😂

[@brentamania89]

Both do lol😂

[@tannerroberts9669]

Probably could use a better system then white boards, a number in the corner

[@Eureca]

@@tannerroberts9669 I guess they could just have Sophie keep track of the points as well. So that she can read the points off before the wagers. They can also just text Sophie their wagers and have her announce the winner at the end.

[@jfdrac]

@@Eureca Just invest in a clicker lol

[@umran7710]

Could get Sophie to count the scores and cut it out the vid possibly

[@jperrin1983]

"Black and white...must be 89" is a wild statement.

[@TheBloobster]

I wonder if they think color wasn't around til the 90s lol

[@hysterheister0947]

Nah. That's just the earliest year they were given. ​@@TheBloobster

5:12, The whole time I'm saying to myself "He's on your shirt" (to John)

[@judahofjudea4601]

Shawn "The Hedgehog Boy" Michaels

[@christianouellette1006]

7:18 Fun fact, The first women to be playable in a WWF game was Luna Vachon in WWF Raw in 1994 for SNES and SEGA Genesis.

[@tonyleblanc7302]

That was when he was the Macho King. It was his crown.

[@NyxPoppinz]

was he the first KOTR? i was born in 2002 so idk much that happened before the Attitude Era cause i haven’t gone back that far yet

[@ErnDawg08]

Don Muraco was the first.

[@shawnmowers7218]

I was gonna say that...they are so young though

[@michaelhoffman3726]

Raven in early 90s is a crazy answer 😭

[@jfdrac]

To be fair he was in WWE at that time....

[@lyylski]

But Johnny Polo would have been a great guess.

[@jfdrac]

@@lyylski Not really since he was such a low level guy and rosters were so small that the chances of him making it in were non existant. Only reason guys Like Mountie or Doink made it in is distinctive looks move set

[@24magiccarrot]

@@jfdrac He may have been in WWE but he wasn't anywhere close to a big enough name to be included in a game with rosters less than 12.

[@jfdrac]

@@24magiccarrot Exactly....I dont think they realized rosters were so small back then

[@reedlakes1314]

They included a couple Super NES games when John looked them up, it should be Wrestlemania (1989), Wrestlemania Challenge, Wrestlemania: Steel Cage Challenge, and King of the Ring

[@christianouellette1006]

He should have put NES instead of nintendo

[@LiqdPT]

10:22 Yokozuna's gimmick was literally that he was a sumo wrestler. A "yokozuna" is a grand champion sumo wrestler.

[@JBPlaysGames1]

I absolutely in no way thought that was Sarge lol. Sarge always had a mustache, dead giveaway.

[@crokar5835]

Sarge also wasn't in any of the nes games. Source I'm old and played them

[@tinmandw]

Also he has a VERY pronounced chin.

[@carrollkuemper]

I got so distracted by The Hamburglar comment that I didn't look at the outfit.

[@Steevin0]

Exactly

[@ThursdayNext67]

Slaughter's gimmick was that he was a Marine. The Marines don't wear red uniforms, the dress uniform for Mounties is red.

[@Filmbuff1979]

Dante for a lot of this quiz was one point ahead of his actual score. Jeez dude.

[@AestheticStar]

The only one I got wrong was Roddy Piper, because I legit thought it was Texas Tornado going by the hair. 😂 I didn't see Roddy at all, but it makes sense that it was him. This was a fun quiz, would love to see another one of these.

[@williamweber9390]

Is old school guys knew that’s the Mountie. He’s very distinguishable

[@robertlee9602]

Gasp, wearing the hbk shirt and you missed him!

[@RinJackson]

In their defense, that picture barely looked like him

[@j.t.a5395]

@@RinJackson *It actually does, I know I thought it looked exactly like Shawn. I knew it was him immediately also I watched on a tv so maybe it’s different for you since you were on your phone. LOL*

[@swerve589]

⁠​⁠@@j.t.a5395 On my phone and instantly guessed Shawn lol.

[@stuffingtonjfluffypantsiii]

I knew it was The Mountie right away. Sarge didn't wear red he wore camo. Mountie had the red outfit and the sunglasses.

[@jenstewart9568]

Plus there was no mustache!

[@TheOnexDeeJay]

Legit had the Mountie Dante.

[@metalswifty23]

Just so you guys know, Yokozuna is a rank in sumo wrestling, the highest in fact. Yoko's entire gimmick was that of a sumo wrestler, hence why he was billed from Japan, despite being Samoan.

[@IzzyBeBizzy]

And he was part of the Sumo match they had. It was him against John Tenta.

[@Jay-mt6nu]

7:40 dante you naughty naughty 🤣🤣🤣

[@Carecorn1997]

9:41 $laughter Has A Moustache

[@michaelfrazier4836]

Plus the red jacket instead of the black singlet top.

[@O-D-X]

@@michaelfrazier4836 It wasn't a black singlet that Slaughter wore but just a black muscle shirt, as he always had the camo pants and the combat boots.

[@judahofjudea4601]

Looked like he had a mustache to me, I immediately said Slaughter and didn't think twice.

[@O-D-X]

@@judahofjudea4601 Well I will agree on one thing, the Mountie never wore sunglasses that I can recall, so my first thought was Slaughter too.

[@LiqdPT]

​@@O-D-Xte Mountie wore sunglasses.

[@RFandomization]

I'm glad they got most of these, a lot of these wrestlers were a bit before their time but immediately recognizing Bam Bam (granted, that's his most iconic pose but still) makes me very happy. Keep it up guys, your videos are getting better and better

[@jeffm1975]

The only one I missed was Piper, I thought it was the Texas Tornado.

[@chadhenry9993]

7:39 love the camera work. Keep doing it!

[@MrC37]

Where’s the guy that keep track of all things SCW?

[@enterthehat]

Got the Mountie. I thought Sarge too, but there was nothing resembling a mustache, and the face was more slender. Top part of the shirt looked more like Mountie too. I remember the NES theme songs from some of these too, so I have that advantage. I missed Piper and Perfect.

[@LiqdPT]

9:19 that's absolutely the Mountie. That was my guess. He's got a red jacket and Jacques Rougeau's smirk

[@K4OSR]

Watch out Dante, I heard that Uncle Howdy hates liars.

[@jfdrac]

Technically not a liar ...just bad at math lol

[@theonlygaymer4740]

Not even gonna lie...I was too distracted by legs the whole time 😂

[@HopAlongKris]

LMAO! John is even wearing a Shawn Michaels shirt and still missed it.

[@FernandoGonzalez-hu3id]

he is also the one that mentioned Elvis, and missed Honky Tonk Man, and missed the most glorious mustache in Wrestling history while in a channel called Stache Club Wrestling

[@Cremig]

It doesn't look like HBK

[@judahofjudea4601]

@@Cremig looks like a hedgehog

[@judahofjudea4601]

@@FernandoGonzalez-hu3id I thought that was Rocky Johnson too, looked a little dark for Rude TBH.

[@drummerdrummer5535]

Same here.

[@matthewbrooks4507]

Getting Shawn Michaels wrong while wearing a HBK shirt is blasphemous lol

[@crokar5835]

I missed Piper. The picture looked like one of those famous pianists not a wrestler

[@Steevin0]

Yeah I fucking guessed Sid Justice

[@stumertens9469]

I thought maybe Undertaker was being repeated, thought it could have been Mr Perfect, Giant Gonzales, Johnny Polo, shit it could have even been Junk Yard Dog, the last person on Earth it looks like is Piper...

[@judahofjudea4601]

I thought it was Texas Tornado Kerry Von Erich

[@LordBarros]

@@judahofjudea4601 Me too

[@alextheluchador]

The Mountie was obvious when you look at his collar. It was red and black, consistent with the uniform.

[@whatdavidhughes]

Looks like Dante's been watching Bill Belichick coaching videos....

[@riotd.r.8363]

I happened to get The Mountie, the artists would have tried harder to make a mustache if it were Slaughter

[@DexterasVI]

I legit got the Mountie but only cause I had vague memories of the picture that portrait is based off of

[@andrewoid84]

Easiest quiz ever for me, of course I played all 4 of these games a ton as a kid. Also the 4 NES games these came from were Wrestlemania, Wrestlemania Challenge, Steel Cage Challenge, and King of the Ring.

[@SuperMutant2099]

Piper tripped me up from getting the sweep. How I knew it was mountine wasn’t just collar. He didn’t have slaughters mustache

[@TheRicFactor]

Piper was the only one that got me, too.

[@Davers84]

Same here with Piper. I originally thought Slaughter until I noticed the red and switched to Mountie.

[@johnnyphesto1247]

Piper tripped me up as well.

[@lunadusk8590]

Me too

[@MikeL-FL]

Same. Some of us grew up with these games, so we know them.

[@Poundcakebowler]

9:35 you can call bullshit but I’m also 40…….I have a unfair advantage

[@JustinSane_555]

My first ever Sweep City and I have all these games and play them regularly when the nieces and nephews come over. They love them.

[@theytj1983]

100% the mountie. sarge's chin is twice the size

[@silggins5764]

Taker looks like Cowboy Bob Orton !

[@Marthabrannonbabe]

Only missed Roddy. Kept me from my first Sweep City. I knew it was The Mountie though because of the red shirt and no mustache. Can't believe John missed Honky Tonk Man even after practically giving Dante the answer.

[@PrinceMichaelMizunoX]

I don't know if this was mentioned, but the four games that was in the videos are actually WWF Wrestlemania, WWF Wrestlemania Challenge, WWF Steel Cage Challenge, and WWF King of the Ring. I remember playing 3 of the 4 games as a kid.

[@Seanic_Hedgehog]

Amazing that these sprites were actually more accurate than the No Mercy polygons.

[@RyanEngemann]

Got ‘em all except Piper. This was my era as a kid. So many hours on WM Challenge. That game was dope

[@pollard068]

Nes game KOTR '93 was also used here

[@enterthehat]

I remember renting some of these from Blockbuster back in the day, even though I hadn't started watching wrestling yet.

[@dennisdonetti1675]

It’s crazy that I remember selecting these characters in the 1989 game. You had to collect symbols for the wrestler that bounced across the ring to gain energy if I remember right.

[@wallacemaldonado7710]

I will Agree I though that was Sergeant slaughter, but yeah, now that I know that it's the mountain. Yeah, he was a rival of the big boss man in the nineties

[@TheBloobster]

I was SURE piper was Texas Tornado

[@misawa8629]

I wouldn't be surprised if the actual developers got some pictures mixed up and based Roddy Piper's image on Kerry von Erich.

[@ryanrinaldo9147]

That was the only one I missed, I said the same thing

[@Lookalike02]

Piper was the worst one. I had no freaking clue. I thought Kerry Von Erich as well but I couldn’t remember him from any video games so I went away from him. I just guessed Ric Flair but I was not confident. lol

[@chadmaypole759]

Same. It was the only one I missed. Other than that they were all pretty obvious

[@Trollololololful]

Also the only one I missed. Thought maybe it was just a repeat of Shawn or Bret. Only other person I could guess was Marty.

[@r3h0l3s7]

The math to use when trailing Dante by 3 or more going into the final round we will use this "score" as an example, 16-13 Dante always bets 1 more than John max possible score making John's bet meaningless so John can only win if he gets it right and Dante gets it wrong, any other outcomes Dante wins What john needs to do is not bet all, he can't win even if he gets it right, in 16-13, John's max score would be is 26, so Dante bets 11 points to get 27 points, in this case John can only win if he gets it right and Dante gets it wrong If John bets assuming Dante will get it wrong and end up with 5 (16-11), John needs to bet ending with at worst 6, so john should bet 7 (13-7=6) in this scenario John can win If he gets it right dante gets it wrong AND if the both get it wrong. Increasing his odds to win.

[@farhanc5320]

Nah that Elvis honky tonk man moment gotta be a top5 SCW moment 😂

[@evrbody]

Man, I remember waiting forever for the Legends DLC for Super Wrestlemania. Not to mention the Raven, Pillman, and Jake Roberts with his iconic sunglasses.

[@rickmiller4958]

Watching this brought back childhood memories of playing all these games. Good times

[@davidchabot5865]

I got it , Jacques Rougeau , the mountie, a quebecers from Canada

[@kingphoenixflameswarrior508]

How hot is it in your area? I'll start 98 degrees and it's not even the high of the day yet. Also love stache club wrestling one of my favorite quiz channels

[@pigs18]

The NES games were: Wrestlemania, Challenge, Steel Cage Challenge, and King of the Ring. The sumo wrestler thing was Yoko's whole gimmick. Yokozuna ("grand champion") is the highest rank in sumo wrestling. He was not an actual sumo wrestler though he did have a sumo match on Raw once with Earthquake who did compete as a sumo (where he was undefeated).

[@TheOutlawCrow]

The collar on The Mountie is what gave it away 🤣

[@tonykrimson]

John's been slipping on keeping traxk of his score. You guys should have Sophie track your scores so you guys can focus on the questions and holding the mics 😂

[@TheNath87]

Only one I didn't get was Roddy Piper. Thought it was the Texas Tornado/Kerry Von Erich.

[@brucecamel7428]

one of the most fun quizzes in a while

[@vandaminator5000]

Got all but Roddy Piper and Rick Rude

[@KingGta15]

As a Canadian, there was no question that was the Mountie. The Red Serge is a dead giveaway.

[@Rae_Of_Light_]

I had a sweep going all the way through until Mountie where I just drew a big fat blank. I didn't even think of Sgt. Slaughter as an option for it either.

[@kristopherlaws2438]

i am wondering where the people fro the WWF King of the Ring game in 93, or the wwf Wrestlemania The Arcade Game from 95?

[@lonewolfjedi493osswfan]

The Undertaker one looked like Paul Heyman wearing Taker’s hat

[@jacob47329]

don’t know if they’ll still do this but i remember last year on the podcast they said that for money in the bank predictions they would put a briefcase on the line. if they do that’ll be sick but i don’t know how they would go about it 😭

[@Mrryn]

9:33 I mean...you can see the red of his mountie coat around his shoulders...lol Also Sarge has a mustache 😅

[@thebigbear4696]

As someone born in the early 80s that played all these games and watched wrestling and was obsessed with GI Joe back then…for 2 seconds I thought that was Sgt. Slaughter but then realized it was The Mountie.

[@ablewhite91-13]

When Dante said that anyone who says they got The Mountie is lying, I was in shock, I said The Mountie when they showed it in the preview, looks nothing like Sgt. Slaughter aside from the hat lol

[@MarkDemeo]

I absolutely got sweep city,yes I got the Mountie. I'm not sure if Sgt Slaughter was in a home console game between '89-'93.

[@mrfixitishere]

Black and white is the gameboy smartguy. And i got the mountie because i played the game and was a mountie mark at the time.

[@JCBluenote24]

The Mountie was from WWF Steel Cage Challenge...my favorite wrestling game on the NES when I was growing up. He always gets his man...just like me on my way to Sweep City cuz I played all of these!

[@MichaelTaylor-qp2xf]

The Mountie looked just like The Mountie. He's handsome, he's brave, he's strong and he upholds the law!

[@jamisonlamkin5576]

I grew up on all of these games.

[@JackpotToys]

[@efng21]

I got the Mountie right away. I grew up just south of Montreal. We all know the Rougeau's. Finished 19/20. Missed Piper.

[@VeggieGamer]

18 with 1 for the wager = 19! The only one I got wrong was Piper! Thought it was Flair! Great quiz!!

[@tehphilosoraptor42]

I legit knew that was the Mountie. The red collar was the giveaway as Mountie uniforms were red back then if they aren't still, also Slaughter wore green. I got all of them except Piper because that picture was cursed.

[@Christopher_Black]

I got the Mountie during the tease at the beginning

[@grantmillington8772]

You can see the red of the Mounties coat it was clearly the Mountie but I get the sgt Slaughter guess

[@RcJ2]

I 100% got The Mountie correct right away. Also, I believe that was the Macho King at the time.

[@Omegasphere]

I nailed The Mountie and was on a one way track to Sweep City... and then Roddy Piper happened.

[@ErikLarson-l9k]

I get that it’s a common thing now, but I grew up on these games and adding in “classic” or “legends” characters was not even a thought yet. We were lucky to get 7 or 8 current superstars, and they didn’t have the memory space for extra characters.

[@davidwibben9886]

It's nes so theres a time cut off. Idk if raven has been in any nes games maybe johnny polo. Iykyk

[@Mello_nation]

Apologizing for the knees is diabolical 😂

Everyone but you knew it was the Mountie. We always get our man.

[@jfdrac]

Raven was still Johnny Polo and getting Shane drugs lol and so close to Perfect but Roddy tripped me up as I thought IRONICALLY he was Perfect

[@parttimegamerdad]

Never once did I think that was Sgt. Slaughter. That was clearly The Mountie 😉

[@Cm-chunk]

Honestly I got the mountie straight away but as soon as you guys said Sgt slaughter, I thought I was wrong

[@MrWebby93]

I was stuck on whether it was The Undertaker or Bob Orton. And I fell for the Owen Hart/Mr Perfect trick.

[@irishted13]

The Mountie because of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police jacket
