What a blessing

[@hmmm3232]

[@RA10H56]

Born in 77' I would always get my big brother with the Amazon's piranha chomp!!!!😂

[@mrjtrichardson]

Born in 78 also

[@nunk5992]

78 also.

[@cozzie42078]

Was 78 baby as well. This game was awesome, not as good as Mike Tysons punchout, but still damn legendary

[@brad3]

78 here as well

[@michaelh3715]

Born in 76 and this game was a big part of my childhood

[@JackieGray-z2x]

It's the music for me!!!! I remember it like yesterday 😂😂😂😂

[@danielrix6602]

Try “dreamtheatre systematic chaos 8 bit”

[@seanhunter8428]

Star man was hard to beat with the flip kick...NOSTALGIC

[@Polo22546]

Truth!!!

[@bruceleroy8063]

Greatest of all mashes

[@dadvastator967]

And Flying Cross Chop!!

[@ayomyman]

Yooo!!! This just took me back to 9yrs old playing with my little brother 🔥🔥

[@bruceleroy8063]

I was the little brother!😅

[@USNavyVet_STG]

Bro, I wore this game out back in the day. I'm 50 years old now and every once in a while i still fire up my old school NES and pop this bad boy in there.😂 Good times 🎉

[@chadcory9690]

I play tecmo bowl still i wish I could buy updated copy's

[@quanemerson1054]

I wish that I still had my nes. Blades of Steel, Tecmo Bowl, Homerun Derby, Castlevania, Metroid, Mike Tysons Punchout, Friday the 13th, Contra, and of course Mario. Damn those were the days. Oh, and Street Fighter 2.

[@A23457]

OMG I had completely forgotten about this for like 35 years until I saw the thumbnail and then all the memories starting rushing back!

[@邪鬼先輩]

懐かし過ぎる 子供の頃すげぇ好きだった

[@NintendoComplete]

A WINNER IS YOU!

[@johngavalas712]

An absolute classic this game is the reason why i got an NES

[@Roger-fs5yo]

I can't believe you defeated the great star man by count out. He deserves more respect than that🤣

[@bigduke5902]

Regarding your description, I clearly remember believing Blanka was a giant rip off of Amazon and was the kind of kid, believe it or not, that would be angered by such a thing.

[@danalong1237]

OSW Review brought me here.

[@solarflare9078]

-Fawful

[@creekbanks256]

This was my 1st wrestling game that I actually loved ! 👊

[@Derek258Crusco]

I remember all the sound effects in this game and buying it at toys r us. I remember at toys r us You had to pull the slip of paper with all the info on it a walk over to the both with the glass to pic up your game. Such great memories

[@peeler1972]

このBGM、年に何度か頭の中で再生されてたが40年ぶりに聴くことができた

[@シゲシゲ-l2x]

頭に残りやすいですよね

[@Olfe-iz8uj]

４０年たっても物凄く頭の中に残ってる曲ですねw

[@Choralone422]

For an early NES game, Pro Wrestling was pretty good. My friends and I had a ton of fun playing it back in the 80s. It doesn't hold up as well to many later wrestling games, but part of its charm is its jankiness! A winner is you!

[@oscarrobledo547]

Loved this game. Starman was my guy. I used to call flying shoulder the flying jalapeño. I remember Bobby Heenan calling Tito Santana's flying forearm that. Good times

[@DoctorJohnSmith9]

Hell yeah! Still one of the greatest pro wrestling games ever made!

[@AshuraH]

God, the memories of this game! I used to play this with my older cousin whenever we had a chance. I specifically remember getting a laugh out of Star Man because one of his turnbuckle dives looked like he was praying, so we would always shout out "I PRAY!"

[@birdg2112]

I absolutely lived for this. Totally opened up a portal.

[@KaSinoCashGrind]

I loved this game when I was a Kid. Much respect for posting this. Classic.

[@VahanNisanian]

A winner is you for watching this playthrough.

[@TiltBrook]

The Amazon keeps chalking em’ up in the win column! You gotta believe that the VWA Board Of Directors and Championship Committee are looking closely at this phenomenal athlete and accomplished competitor!…what an action packed VWA superstar he’s turned out to be!

[@joetanega1671]

So many hours playing this game! Love it! Thanks for posting!

[@kd9749]

Starman was my boy, that flip kick of his was stupid OP

[@jonathand9682]

Let the children boogie!

[@victordisolo]

Same here. I remember to always come from the up side of the screen and do somersault 😂

[@btmetzger]

So many great memories of this game! It was the first game I was gifted after I got my NES (aside from the pack-in SMB and Zelda, which came from Santa 😊)! What a great Christmas!!!

[@vr2k8]

I used to play the heck out of this game a lot. I like using Starman and The Amazon the most. I had played with every character. Either I would drop kick to weaken the opponent or run to the ropes and drop kick. The Great Puma!!!

[@CrimsonNick171]

Gotta love that 8-bit music.

[@soakedbearrd]

There’s nothing like it.

[@LPetal86]

I still remember that music when I played this game at my aunt's house, all those years ago. Was fun trying to figure out what the heck to do and discover different moves as a kid.

[@RajanKeen]

What age?

[@Aaron-by3ke]

Pro Wrestling was the best wresting game on the NES. It might not have Tecmo Wrestling's realistic television feel but it had the best gameplay and characters. A Winner Is You if you got to play this in the 1980s. A shame there was no sequel to this outstanding game.

[@Roger-fs5yo]

After 40 year's I still toss this game in from time to time. You know? Cause a winner is I😁

[@jayskicksnfits9372]

*Years*

[@LockJawnny]

I remember I got this for Christmas 🎄 loved this game

[@Des_Zee]

I didn't know what wrestling game this was by name but once I heard that theme music, I was instantly transported back to my youth when we played this game non stop, 24/7!

[@familydog]

Oh man. I remember missing the entire movie of Babe at the drive in just to play this in the snack bar on the Play Choice 10. Good times.

[@jonathand9682]

That's GOATED

[@evildeadmitch]

@@familydog yeah, that is pretty cool. I can almost see it now.

I didnt even know this was in arcade form lol

[@ietitan1313]

I’ve had that character intro music in my head for years but couldn’t remember what it was from. Thank you I can die in peace.

[@Dorian_Scott]

Ah yes. The age old rivalry between some kind of fishman and some guy with a blue star on his face.

[@feiwong3634]

I had this amazing classic as a kid!! even my mother loved this one, i can totally say it's the best NES wrestling game, no discussion here. Even today the Fire Pro Wrestling games have cameos from this, as the creator of both games it's the same guy.

[@Munenushi]

getting them counted out to win! Masterfully done this was an old favourite, spent so many quarters back in the day... thanks for sharing

[@neonshadow5005]

This is surprisingly well done for a wrestling game on the NES.

[@mplslawnguy3389]

Wow nostalgia. Played this for hours with my buddies back in the 80’s. Games were so simple yet so much fun.

[@jarelljenkins3392]

Mannnn this bring back some good memories from my childhood a many of nights staying up playing this game

[@matthewtreon1398]

Mega man,excite bike,castlevania. Nostalgia of late night sleep overs and playing manhunt. Kids being kids. Wow what a flood of memories come back.

[@bearoo_]

me and my little brother loved playing this! he found it very funny when the amazon guy ate the opponent 😂

[@SomeOrangeCat]

"A winner doth beest thou!" - This game in its original Shakespearian English.

[@mansakhanlv8487]

That noise for some reason brought back so many memories and feelings. Don’t know why

[@thomasmyers3808]

Wow, bringing back some memories. Metroid, Castle Vanyia, Super Mario, Contra, and 10 yard fight.

[@Olph1]

I played this all day everyday as a kid. I loved this game!

[@johnsimonini3559]

Born in 74,this took me rite to my buddy Alfredo house playing this game

[@RAIDER-sf3wk]

Wow!!!! The good old days. Great memories 🙌🏼

[@marcengel4394]

Takes me back to some fond memories of me and my father playing this. I think I was 7 or 8 at the time. He loved the move where the guy would chomp on the opponents head lol.

[@grouchygrundle]

I played this game so much as a kid. So many great games from back then.

[@az_esteemed]

An early black-box classic. Abobo’s Big Adventure did a great rendition of Pro Wrestling with the likes of the Ultimate Warrior, Rowdy Roddy Piper, The Undertaker, and Hulk Hogan lending their power to Abobo in applying the ultimate finisher to the Amazon (while also blasting the referee and cameraman to pieces). Great stuff!

[@donaldmorrison955]

Thank you for the nostalgia. Star man would make me so mad trying to beat him with the kick flip.

[@johngavalas712]

That brain buster is deadly!

[@evildeadmitch]

I remember cheesing this with Kin Corn Karn's jump kick. It was the only way I could beat it. Good Job my Friend.

[@DanielSong39]

Great comic heel character His job was to get the faces over and he did his job well!

[@sostrained]

I adore this game. Rented it a few times back in the day.

[@johan.svensson]

LOVED this game.

[@MiloSkelly]

It was acceptable in the 80's 🎵

[@danalong1237]

It was acceptable at the time

[@ali6ism]

Never got to play this one, did all the black box sports games have the same title screen music? I've played alot of the black box baseball and it has the same title music

[@Lj-md9ng]

Memories! The Amazon and Star man were my two go to characters.

[@jaward51]

Loved this game. Played all the time as a kid.

[@beatsinmycrates]

I did not know all these years you had to have 10 title defenses to complete the game, wonder if it is more difficult playing after that?

[@mattyice5696]

The back brain kick is the hardest hitting move in the game from what I remember

[@philg6115]

The back breaker was the move to cause the most damage

[@ChangShu-v6w]

I know this game. I did it when I was 12 years old. Yes, 1986. Legend of Zelda was released in this year.

[@sal19967]

Pure 80’s Goodness!

[@hallik01]

Yes I’m this old!! My brother used to get so mad at that spinning back kick😂

[@DanielSong39]

The worked nature of pro wrestling is so obvious, even in an 80's NES game Well done!

[@justiceshabazz9783]

STARMAN WAS THAT DUDE!

[@下田頼和]

子供の頃やったなぁ～。 ハヤブサの必殺技「延髄切り」決めらんなくて悔しかった思い出が。

[@dadofthree7922]

Classic game! Amazon was my favorite wrestler too ❤

[@MbRetroGamer]

very good pro wrestling 😀

[@itsintheword230]

Wow!!! 40 years later and it seems like yesterday I was playing this. We would call these characters wwf wrestler names. I loved jumping off the top ropes😂😂😂😂

[@TheNorthernExpanze]

Legend has it that the referee stays on his stomach until the next match starts.

[@spardante791]

I remember renting this one at a local movie rental store. Also master blaster, bad dudes,contrast, jackal.

[@pennypacker77]

It's bizarre to me how clearly I remember this, since I haven't played it in 36 years

[@bambikiller338]

I had never seen that cat person at the end before. Thanks

[@jlopez1632]

Born in 87 but played in early 90’s. First guy reminds me of Norm star reminded of sting. Giant panther was Ric Flair. The Amazon was the swamp thing King Slender is mix of Luger/ warrior

[@salbitamartinez6699]

Classic, loved and still love this game!!!!

[@MrTheLuckyshot]

After does the choke thing, he has like a crisis of conscience for a second, then is like nah, fuck that, and gives the middle finger to the crowd.

[@johnsimonini3559]

This gave me instant memories,great game

[@KJukic]

存在すら忘れてた懐かしすぎる

[@FrederickZabala3000]

One of the few VG to have the late Antonio Inoki live on the VG world (in this case Fighter Hayabusa)

[@spartyjoe]

this and tecmo bowl were the best👌👌👌

[@jasongoldman3850]

I think I recall playing an NES wrestling game that had Hulk Hogan in it. I don't remember what it was called.

[@MatthiaGryffine]

You really have those roundhouse kicks down

[@alanm5090]

All of us gen x remember this classic game , when we where kids in the 1980s👏🤣

[@derekjwilliams007]
