You spent most of the match running round after Ted Debiase, whereas in a real match he'd have left the ring with IRS for a count out defeat to keep the belts.

True. And Hogan's power-up should have been a bag of cocaine.
Razor Ramon in King of the Ring, his image looks like Texas Pete from SuperTed to me :D

The phrase "chasing Ted Dibiase around the ring" sounds hilarious in itself......
Hogan doing the job to Randy Savage? That's unheard of lol
Hogen job to Savage: ''Doesn't work for me, brother!'' ''Hey, Freakshow! You ain't goin NOWHERE!''
Razor looks like the main character Ben Throttle, from the Lucasarts adventure game "Full Throttle."
In WM Challenge, Hulk looks more like Giant Panther from NES Pro Wrestling
I remember when I had my very first pro wrestling video game on the NES,WWF WrestleMania Steel Cage Challenge.
Very fond memories of playing Westlemania challenge. Thanks for the video it made me smile. The 8bit theme songs are brilliant.
The orginal Wrestlemania game was the best! This is the first time I've remembered or ever thought of this game since I was a kid! Such a pleasant feeling during this time. Thank you so much for this!!!
Would love to see an N64 version of this for both wwe and wcw
Pro Wrestling was far and away the best wrestling game for NES. I have no idea why WWF didn’t just make their games like that one.

Pro Wrestling was great, but Tecmo World Wrestling is an overall better game.
Playing NES games on a huge flat screen is one heck of a life goal!! Great video and even better setup
I remember playing Wrestlemania with my brother when it was released. It was terrible even for the time. We went back to NES Pro Wrestling soon after. I never did buy another WWF game on the NES. Tecmo World Wrestling was great and WCW was decent. This came out at a great time, as I was just looking at picking up Steel Cage and King of the Ring the other day, as I never played them, but I now see that isn't a great idea. Great video.

Hogan: "see I'm not racist, my video game character is black" - 7:06 And you got Razor Ramon looking like Lord Farquaad - 11:02 Great videos dude, you do an amazing job bud. You touch parts of my childhood the priests wish they could reach.
Oh my God, that razor Ramon reminded me of a dark-haired version of Brock from The venture Brothers

Yeah, it's definitely Brock Samson who Bios was thinking of.
♥️ have you checked out the new Retromania Wrestling game, coming out soon? Looks.... Interesting...
Wrestlemania Challenge was awesome because in tag matches you could order your CPU controlled tag partner to attack. I think the select button did it but I'm not sure how. I remember you could order them to jump in the ring and attack or go outside and attack the other partner. It was hilarious.
That million dollar man from the first game is a dead ringer for Michael Hayes

Fun part about WrestleMania challenge is playing 2 player mode vs CPU. Teaming with brother. Then jumping in the ring and beating up tag partner. Pissing off brother irl
Nice. I had WrestleMania Challenge. Good memories.
YES! Love your game reviews!
Wrestlemania Challange, what a game! I remember Hulk and his full on tan in that one
Yokozuna was bright yellow! Vintage games are hilarious and awesome but some dont age to well, I personally find it hilarious but some wont 🤣 Great content.
Wrestlemania Challenge was the first wrestling game I ever owned, I was 11 at the time it came out, I spent months playing it and for some reason loved it back then? It looks hideous now! Great video by the way mate and it brings back some good memories, love your channel and keep up the good work.
As someone who grew up with these games, truly a dark time for wrestling games. We just didn't know any better.
I Love that your doing wrestling game review's! Great stuff!
Ok I am totally in love with your console setup my bro.
My experience of playing WrestleMania challenge as a young kid: Get thrown out of ring or leave by accident. Get back in by accident or get counted out. Repeat.
I laughed at that Roddy Piper / Undertaker cage match. I can imagine what the audience reaction would have been if that match had taken place in real life.
servly underrated channel! love your work! keep it coming!
If you picked Andre for WrestleMania Challenge... good luck. Once he was out of the ring, he was the only wrestler who couldn't get back into the ring.
Another great video. Eastridge Technologies also did the Game Boy version of King Of The Ring and that one was also solid. It's quite literally the NES version in the palm of your hands.
Been playing these on my custom arcade I built for my channel true classics, thanks for all the great videos love watching your stuff
razor looks like the dude from full throttle
Bam Bam was so important in the late 80s that he made it to the first WWF game ever. That's neat
I loved the music in this, and only recently realized that one of the songs I liked so much was actually the theme music for the tag team "Strike Force".
Bonus points if you actually look like “yourself” haha. That’s great. The razor Ramon looks like soda popinski from punch out
5:50 If I had to say who "Yourself" was I'd probably say Dino Bravo, looking at that image?
the best wrestling game for nes is pro wrestling, by a hundred miles

In Wrestlemania Challenge, there are some finishers. Rick Rude has the rude awakening finisher, hacksaw can do his tackle move, warrior has the gorilla press. For some reason, Savage does a knee drop, Hogan does an elbow drop lol.
I remember WrestleMania challenge having finishers and was my favorite of the bunch due to being able to call in someone to help you beat up your opponent.

Some of the wrestlers do have their signature moves amongst the moves they can do. Beefcake can do the sleeper hold, Rude has his Rude Awakening, Duggan can do his three-point stance into a tackle, Savage can do a flying elbow, Warrior has a press slam. Some of the wrestlers though don’t have an established finisher in their arsenal in the game. Hogan doesn’t have a leg drop, yet some other wrestlers do. Hogan does an elbow drop for his ground move instead, for some reason.

love Wrestlemaina challenge! but if you toss out Aundre he can't get back in
Back in the days when i was a kid i remember having fun playing wrestlemania steel cage challenge I liked it a lot :))
That's a cracking gaming set up. Good stuff.
Only Hulk, Brutus, Hacksaw, Bret, Taker, Sid, Lex Luger, and Mountie are left now! daym! I'm still trying to get over Randy Savages death... He went way too soon.
I find it tough to dislike anything WWF. It's just so badass.
If you want a real good laugh, play the 2nd game ( Challenge) use The Big Boss Man, climb to the top corner and jump 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Trust me on this

If anyone wants a wrestling game for NES thats actually good, go for Tecmo World Wrestling. It's by far the best wrestling game on the console.
I still got these on my NES. Even the WCW game.
wrestlemania challenge had finishers. Andre did a turnbuckle crunch, rick rude had the rude awaking, beefcake had his sleeper, ultimate warriror had press slam, and hacksaw had the 3 point stance shoulder charge
WWF King of the Ring was my very first WWF Game back in the day. What a fine memory
The only nes wwf game I played was steel cage challenge and I had pretty fond memories of playing it back in the day.
Best NES wrestling titles: Pro Wrestling Tecmo World Wrestling Wish they used those developers.
As far as who won your King of the Ring tournament: Since your match ended in a double countout, the final match would be Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels. Shawn would apply the Sharpshooter and the match would immediately end. Hulk Hogan would come down to the ring to make sure that Bret was okay. Shawn issues a challenge to Hogan for his new King of the Ring crown, which Hogan accepts. Hogan wins and becomes King of the Ring despite being eliminated in the first round.
I just can't see the LJN logo now without thinking of Laughin' Jokin' Numbnuts.
You recognize Razor as a Mike Tyson Punch out character
That 8 bit music is the best part
I played NEStroid for the first time a few years ago and I love that game! It's not like the best game in the franchise by any means, but it's way better than people give it credit for. Same goes for Metroid II.
Since it never got a NES release in the Uk i have always wanted a copy of king of the ring. Too expense on eBay
It's been brought up a few times before, but Razor Ramon in the last game is definitely a dead ringer for Ben from Full Throttle, which is kinda impressive considering Full Throttle came out two years later.
Your comments are pretty funny. Well done
Talk about the nostalgia factor. The music at the very end I remember that on multiple Nintendo titles.
Love your videos man, always look forward to watching the new content. Have been watching you from the start. Have you ever heard of a wrestling game on Mame it was by konnami it was called The Main Event, its basically a rip off of WWF, but certainly worth a play. Keep up the good work man.
No mention of the one redeeming quality of WWF Wrestlemania.....the great music!
It's funny how you mentioned that you wanted to see who would win the CPU King of the Ring tournament. When I was a kid and played WWF Attitude, if I was bored I would set up a randomised CPU KOTR tournament and they were quite often fun.
I got wrestlemania challenge for my birthday. 1st wrestling game I've ever had.

So did I, my first wrestling game too.
Raise your hand if you used to take your boom box, record the entrance songs to each wrestler on a tape, and then play that entrance song while you were playing with your Hasbro wrestlers. All while recording all the matches in a spiral notebook.
Sir, you definitely could do finishing moves on WrestleMania Challenge. I played as Rick Rude all the time and always went around giving people the Rude Awakening. The only one that you couldn't do it to was Andre the Giant because he was too big. My favorite wrestling game was Pro Wrestling but my friends and I had a blast with Wrestlemania Challenge back in the day.
"This is Ted Dibiase" Me: "Which one???"
Tecmo World Wrestling was the best NES wrestling game. You could build stats by working out and there were cinema scenes for the finishing moves. No WWF or WCW wrestlers but still fun.
I had all these games, at the time I thought they were all awesome but looking back it’s not so good 😂 this video is hilarious 😂
Tecmo World Wrestling was my fave Wrestling game on my NES.
That Razor Ramon picture from the King of the Ring game totally looks like Ben from the LucasArts point-and-click game Full Throttle to me haha. The more I look at it, the more uncanny it is despite Full Throttle coming out 2 years after KOTR.
I still have my original copy of Wrestlemania Challenge and all I can remember is that it was like running around in circles at times trying to pull a move off from behind the opponent when it was against the CPU as they were always moving. It seemed almost pointless having moves from behind since you couldn't stun them. Also the CPU was vicious and in the tournament mode after the first fight or two once they got a hold of you it was pretty much game over as they were relentless.
11:00 For some reason this instantly made me think of Popeye 😄.
Legend's of wrestle mania. Classic
love your channel keep up the great work bro hope to meet you one day
Love how KOTR Lex Luger is labeled "the narcissist". Meanwhile Mr. Perfect is just, Mr. Perfect.
I used to enjoy playing Wrestlemania Challenge against my mates as a kid, it's definitely not a great game but it had value then. I also thought the music was pretty good in it.
Yes n64 took it to another level but snes wwf games were my favorite. Cool video thank you took me back. Edit....why does razor Ramon have like max speed on the king of the ring game lol....they didn’t even do their homework
😂😂 I know exactly who Razor Ramones picture reminded u of, because it’s the first person I thought of. It’s one of the actors, in the movie Tango and Cash from 1989.
WCW Wrestling, or Superstar Pro wrestling inJapan (which had a fully different roster ) was by FAR the best wrestling game on the NES. It not only had finishers, but a ton of moves and was easy to play once you figured it out.
I think the Razor Ramon picture is probably reminding you of Desperate Dan, from The Dandy.
Wrestlemania challenge is great in my opinion I remember the first time I played it in my cousins
I think the cartoon you're thinking in Royal Rumble for Razor Ramon is Super MachoMan from Mike Tyson's Punch Out.
Razor reminds me of Desperate Dan off the Dandy Comic's lol Never played these as a kid and to be honest, I don't think I missed out on anything 😂

I agree. Wrestlemania Challenge had an amazing roster with Hogan and Warrior and the most fun gameplay mostly due to each wrestler having their own movesets and special moves, like Jim Duggans three-point stance running clothesline and Rick Rudes Rude Awakening.
Thanks Paddy!
My brother got "King of the Ring" on Game Boy for his birthday. I remember adjusting the stats on the "you" character to try to make the best wrestler.
