Going to the arcade and renting games from Blockbuster...the best time to be a kid! Good times! 👍
How can you not love the 90's???
Well, you could have lived in Bosnia
The peak of Western Civilisation.
For sure, I was a 80s kid who got to see a ton of great stuff from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
Gen Z will never know
THE BEST ERA!!
I miss the 90’s
90's was the best
Beautiful time
We all do.
Me too, some of the best games
what you liked all the time in between the stuff you're trying to do? You like how bad the color was in our color TV? Minimum wage $4.75 where I am from in 1993? (its only 7.25 federal 20+ years later, so at least federal min wage is still roughly the same my state minimum wage was 20 years ago, how pathetic)
All the fake additives to foods? Lack of quality cannabis? a future of politicians that broke the law through out their tenure(ok that hasn't changed much) lack of over site and regulations?
Sitting around at night in the dark, waiting hours to fall asleep(if you don't like music) Waiting weeks and weeks for the book you wanted to be returned? Inability to check bus schedules or road maps on the fly?
Most who say they miss the 90s was because they were kids and don't really remember them, I could literally go on for hours but I really shouldn't need to say everything to remind people the 90s sucked
I pumped a small fortune's worth of quarters into this game back in the day. Then, I continued to play it tired once it came to home consoles. It's definitely a hall of fame game.
You and me both 😂
simpler times, sincere efforts, quality product
The makers of the game told that Michaels and Hart were complete professionals and it was easiest to work with them while they had too much difficulty with Doink and Scott Hall.
Scott Hall was great. Doink wasn't difficult but was going through some things
whose Doink, the original Matt Borne?
@@jamesromualdez1405 Yup
@@jamesromualdez1405yes
The orignal Doink, Matt Borne was fired by late 1993. That was way before this game was being made, The character Doink, was in the game but Borne could not have been there during the making of this game.
Shawn makes it so easy! He is the best!
You're so gay
@@30xron Do people still use this as an insult? Pathetic.
@@fuzzluvver69 he said stupid stuff years ago on a Don Tony video when DT had a channel. He’s just a troll.
The 90’s… when everything was popping. The best times 😢 take me back
I'll take you back.😉
i wish
Especially the pills
😂😂
80s and 90s was the beat Era I miss the magical atmosphere 😢
Would *LOVE* to see more BTS footage from WrestleMania Arcade, or even the In Your House game. This is way too interesting.
INCOMING SOON
watching Shawn just turn it on like that in the booth is fascinating. so many people just struggle in that environment but he makes it look so easy
Why is he naked in there?
@@jetnut89 I think he has a sweater tied over his tights. He probably did some photography work before the voice overs. That or these sessions here are out of order.
Those were some damn good times. I'm blessed to have been part of it. I feel like That last 2 decades skipped several. We lost so much gold that the 90's had. We should have slowed down. Man i regret never going to a wrestling event at those times.
Shawn Michaels's character was born to be a part of this game.
Ah, the Mortal Kombat method. I miss all the digital sprite clone games of the 90s.
Same studio too. Midway was on a hot streak for Arcade games back in 90s. Mortal Kombat really changed their look
Some were good but alot were trash like pit fight
Mk should of stuck with that still to this day,smh.
@@rockfresh5359 Pit Fighter was fun/stupid though. Not a good game but entertaining
@@rockfresh5359 I loved pit fighter haha
I like that the voice direction is "this is the situation, what would you say?" instead of trying to write canned lines for them. That's why these lines sound natural and the commentary from new WWE games sounds ass.
Yeah cause wrestling is a television show but the promo part of the whole can sometimes be forgotten or the people dont do enough research when it comes to the wrestling life. I dont know but something is off
shut up
I wish 2k would do something like this. their commentary and wrestlers dialogue are just so artificial.
Oh wow! This was so interesting to watch! Shawn is my all time favorite wrestler ❤
cool? no accounting for taste in people now days, you must have liked his play girl pics eh? he was kinda why WWF was losing to WCW , imo, but glad they got rid of him.
"I lost my smile", yea its called a drug wellness policy and if you fail you're fired. Can't be smiling all the time when you're not high on cocaine. Glad real wrestlers got their time in the sun because of him leaving.
@@ravinraven6913 You feel good about yourself replying to a 2 year old comment being completely negative and annoying? Let me head to the grocery store real quick to get you your cookie
@@ravinraven6913highly doubt it had anything to do with any drug violation because if that was true McMahon would have had half his roster gone in the 90s. And WWE was losing to WCW due to Vince still trying to use his tired 80’s clichés when in the 90s people wanted something that wasn’t so corny. If anything Shawn and Bret were one of the few bright spots during the losing period.
It's really great to get to see this. Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game is a classic. I remember when it first came out, I was instantly hooked. Me and my friends were trying to figure out all of the special moves for every character. The visuals and the sound were perfect. I can still hear Vince McMahon's commentary spliced in anytime I think about this game. Thank you for sharing this!
How's it hanging?
I remember the game clearly and watching the game being made is beautiful
You can tell that Shawn has an attitude in these days, glad he's matured
Most of them hated playing along by a Script or Orders.
True, but in this video, his known arrogance didn't combat his cooperation. So for this particular video, sir, you are delusional.
How you figure? He was given direction and delivered his lines. Then for the mocap stuff, there was too much background to hear anything from him but a laugh when he fucked up his
@@im.a.burp.pickle I can see it on his face. I am not deluded, others agree with me
Agreed. Very clear he does not want to be there, even with the easy-going game dev trying to lighten the mood and laughing.
Had a lot of fun playing this on the OG PlayStation back in the day.
I used to own this game on the 32X. It's great to see some behind the scenes footage. Thank you for archiving this
interesting , very cool, Shawn is very professional here. interesting
this is in 94. before diesel was in the company. hes IC champ here so before he was top dog. the team had high praises for hbk and bret. on the other hand, razor and doink....
Uh.....Diesel was in since 93-
Jim Cornette for what it's worth did say that Shawn didn't become a problem until 95. This must've been before he started acting like a prick backstage
@@stinger5127 fair enough
@@stingurameshi youre right. my mistake. tbf he didnt wrestle for another year and it took another year before he was an absolute force (kayfabe) to be reckoned with. when they shot this, his name wasnt big enough to be in the game but doinks name was.
“The wrestler of the 90’s”
lol I personally wouldn't say he was "the wrestler" from any generation, he sucks but he was the Play Girl model of the 90s...I think? hes the only male model I know their name and its not because I liked the guy. So he must have been the best there? yea?
That would probably be Bret Hart wouldn’t it? By the late ‘90s it had to been Stone Cold Steve Austin though lol, he blew up like nuclear lol.
This is so cool. I have the arcade PCB and still jam it regularly! Can't wait for the doc to finally be released! Thanks for sharing!
Astua35
it's great that you got his cow print tights. he looked great here.
The broken hearts were totally better
@@jondadon7993 there's no denying that. I like the original zebra pattern of the broken hearts than the one he started using survivor series 1995.
@@sororitysleepawaymortuary1659 I like the red and black Montreal screw job attire

THANKS FOR UPLOADING THIS VIDEO OF SHAWN MICHAELS ❤❤
I'm disappointed this wasn't in the main Documentry.
This is so cool to see
HBK SHAWN MICHAELS LEGEND OF ALL TIME👑👑👑👑👑❤❤❤❤❤
what are you trying to say here? Like its missing at least 1/3 of the words it should have...is english not your first language? if its not, sorry...if it is....double sorry no wonder our country sucks, non foreigners can't even speak properly
90s were so cool
if you were too young to remember anything, maybe or in comparison to the 80s....but in all reality, there wasn't much about that 90s that is considered cool now, except to people who have hit that nostalgia age which I believe is somewhere around their mid life crisis moment.
90s was better than the 80s but compared to now or even the future, 90s sucked. That Technicolor was certainly horrible. Microwaves still took an hour to cook something, your teachers never thought youd have a calculator on you....the world has really changed most of them for better.
@@ravinraven6913 so you’re telling me WWF attitude is not better than todays WWE?
And that remakes like Mortal Kombat are better than the original?
@@ravinraven6913 The 90s didn't suck. It was the last, best decade of American culture. The 2000s was the beginning of the end, and the 2010s on has just been a sharp decline. Movies were allowed to be experimental on a much greater scale, and didn't have to be billion dollar draws to be considered a big success. Nor did they have to have check boxes to meet certain quotas.
The internet was new, but nowhere near popular enough to consume everything. People could sit on a computer for an hour or two, but kids were spending much more time outside being kids, than waiting around indoors, scrolling endlessly on tiktok, doing dumb challenges, constantly addicted to their phones.
Everyone was more social back then, by necessity. We hadn't lost our abilities to think critically, and we could be friends with people who didn't agree with everything we said. It was the time for creative freedom unprecedented, the likes of which hadn't been achieved until then, and has since disappeared. Compared to now, the 90s was downright heavenly. The world has not changed for the better in most ways, and has in fact, become worse in several.
The PATRIOT act, for starters. We live in a post 9/11 world now. Corporations have become significantly bigger, and more centralized, allowing only a handful of businesses in certain categories to survive. No competition, and trusts between remaining corporations is a generally bad thing. The surveillance state has only increased several fold. Banks are closing people's accounts if they share the wrong opinion on the internet. Everything is becoming politicized, and funneled into only one of two viewpoints. None of these things were prevalent in the 90s.
Counter culture and true expression was also massive. Something that compared to today, no longer exists. Instead, we have "influencers" on social media platforms telling their millions of followers what the right opinion is. Critical thinking is no longer an option. And to make matters worse, we now have AI on the horizon, with people more than happy to outsource even more of their capacity to think and seek out information to a programmable AI bot. The housing market today sucks, the college degree cost has ballooned to insane levels, We just shut down the economy for a year which caused more harm than any good, inflation rates are through the roof, and we're inching closer to a WWIII.
You're massively incorrect about the 90s, especially compared to today. Its a matter of fact, not nostalgia. Oh, and you're even wrong about microwaves. They were no slower than they are today. Microwaves are microwaves. The only thing that can change how fast they can cook a meal is in how many watts they use, and the wattage is no different in today's than from the 90s.
@@george9822MK Remakes are so much better than originals lol, don't use nostalgia as an argument.
@@chyaboi11 Well 90s had Arcades everywhere, so thats much better then today by far
My favorite wrestler since I was a baby ,now I understand why now . He always did he's work no matter what . Survivor series 97 explains it all . Shout to Mr.wrestlemania. 😎
I wanna see the days with Yoko and Doink.
doink and razor were nightmares on set
@@vipset87 how so?
@@StarsOnSports they partied too hard and were difficult to deal with according to the midway developers
@@StarsOnSports mr. perfect never even showed. it would've been nice to have him in the game
@@vipset87 oh wow, that would have been nice to have him for sure. Did he get replaced or was he just excluded?
this is a great video....i miss the 90s
I'd love to see behind the scenes footage of In Your House with Ultimate Warrior
Probably told the devs to run the ropes, he will no sell their game and then he will give them the splash for an early night.
Im still playing this game on my genesis every few months
I'm from the future but emulate the actual arcade game, it is so good!
Damn he’s so good with the mic
Definitely looks like a pro when working short, stubby things, pointed at his mouth.
@@ennbee2051 gay
@@pumpkinseeds8990 yes he did many gay things
@@caidemalike what
so good looks like he wants to give it head....
Really cool footage
Golden time 80-90s 😭
as some one born in the 80s and raised in the 90s, I could not disagree with you more. 80s was hell and 90s sucked almost as bad.
Any one who says this clearly doesn't remember them except their "old man" nostalgia moments which is caught in the middle of a mid life crisis.
Unless you were the 1/1,000,000 who said they like to read and still reads today...Or forgot microwaves were just as fast as an oven. You needed a tv guide in paper form and had to buy it. Color TV was over saturated. Christian groups controlled what playing cards could be made, no demonic icons like they had in Magic The Gathering.
I could go on and on, but if you're in the midst of a mid life crisis, you wouldn't over all agree, sorry.
if it was the golden times for you, you must not have known they can make plastic gold color too, doesn't make it real gold.
Dam shawn,looked great in. This video.
Yeah you're gay
No i am not gay. I have a beautiful girlfriend mary gately, that i have been with for 22 years, 7 months. Try not to judge me for what i write. Because you don't know me worth nothing.
@@toddgrogg2810 like a total fruit he types a whole paragraph only to like his own shit lmao
@@30xron that's funny!!
@@aceisagodkiss3872 😂😂
this game = my childhood 🤘🤘🤘
I mean they did have possibly the greatest in ring performer making it easy for them
There's something funny about the producer imitating wrestlers while a shirtless Shawn Michaels is seen in the booth, listening carefully as if he's being given directions from Stanley Kubrick.
1:15 Holy FUCK I miss that computer! What an ancient artifact in today's world UGH!
This game looked SOOOO good. I just remember the vibe of it. So wicked.
if only you captured Shawn's look in early 1995 when his hair was super long and awesome looking.
In early 1995 he still had his stupid mullet :)
@@romibodoni It looked awesome though, check out early 95 at the absolute height of his mullet. There's a match he had with Adam Bomb on youtube. I think it even made him wrestle better tbh.
Shawn Michaels Was Trying To Wrestle With His Shadow. HAHAHA, LOL 😃👍.
Excellent footage
Man I remember this crazy how magical the 90s was😢
Thanks this is cool to see behind the scenes of a wwf video game
The 🐐
GET READY TO BE TAKEN BY THE WRESTLER OF THE 90S!
THANKS FOR UPLOADING ❤
Awesome video!
i remember when i got this game for the genesis, i was looking for the carmen sandiego and that wasn't in the store so i took wwf wrestlemania without ever knowing what that game was about (in my country wrestling entertainment show was not on a single tv channel)
i put the game on the console and... WOW, blowed my socks right away, i was a fan of shawn michaels from the first moment i played with him
The 90s will forever be the best . One of my all time favorite games , way ahead of it's time .
This is as big as Shawn ever got, physically I mean
The year before he got popped for steroids it def. shows.
I think he's always been bigger than your average Joe, but put aside the other wrestlers, he looks smaller.
Watch his match against Bob Backlund from RAW in 93 when he was REALLY chubby.
@@Baastilein31 He was with Nash at the time and was eating what Kev ate.
He’s jacked here, but doesn’t look to be on roids
Grewing up with this game in the 90s, it brings me nostalgia.
People should really appreciate the amount of uncle Shawn built on his body, because he only used those rehab fitness machines. The one that has the bench and it glides up and down using ur weight. It allows u do work ur biceps everything. I even bought one during covid. If u think u can’t get good size on those things, he’s living proof. They should of sponsored him then he was in his prime… not to mention it’s fun to use because ur always rolling up and down.
Wow very nice i always wanted to more behind the scene of this game i ear that Taker was not happy to be there and drink Jack Daniel on the set i really want to see that !!!
SHAWN MICHAELS LEGEND OF All TIME'S ❤❤❤❤❤
I played this on Sega, my favorite was Bret Hitman Hart and my brother's was Shawn Michaels.
I remember Shawn had way too many different moves, he even had a bat.
This game was hella fun. All the special moves were over the top, was effin hilarious.
I love seeing this from the producers POV
History
Damn! Shawn was JACKED back then!
WoW - THX so much for this gem!
Baby HBK... the way I loved him best. My fist, last forever love.
Regular dudes suck so bad.... him is the normalcy of a man.
I saw it all in him in early 1992 but am still shocked the ranks he climbed. Yeah I remember saying from early on "The Wrestler of the 90ies" but had no idea. Loathed his Clique buddies thou. This is raw. So beautiful. 🥰
I wonder how much of this footage wasn't even used in the game! It'd be interesting if someone's found the Sprites of unused content in the game.. Very great upload
Nice Helmet poster at 5:22!
" in the meantime!! "
One of Us 🙌🏻
I wish these type of games were done these days with super HD cameras and AI powered tech. Can you imagine how realistic they could make these type of games be now a days. Using 360 cameras and advanced AI wow 😯.
Now he's in mortal Kombat Mugen
Thats so cool how they saw the results instantly
Shawn looks like a million bucks
these are the same guys (and I think literal same studio) that made Mortal Kombat
The 90s were the peak of human civilization. Honestly. It’s all been downhill from there 😢
HBK thinking about how much he hates computers the whole session long.
4:18 Monday mornings, the suffocating feeling at work
Awesome. Playing this game growing up was great! 👏
Fascinating!
I wish they would do a game with this method again but in 4k.
the last game with this method was Death Cargo
We need another wrestling game like Wrestlemania The Arcade Game. I don't care if it's from WWE, AEW, NJPW or whatever, just make another game like this, with digitized sprites.
its crazy to think of the 90s standard. every1 thought hbk was too small to be heavyweight champ
And looking back he’s pretty big especially compared to guys his height today
@@comeatmebr0o his billed weight was 225pds in his prime. Heavyweight in MMA, boxing, combat sports ranges from 206-265. still a HW but he was no randy savage, hogan, warrior, mr perfect, etc
@@vipset87 Don't forget WWE always beefed up the heights and weights, tho.
@@Shendue and the attendance records lol. You're right, they could get away with so much more back then.
@@vipset87 They can now, because wrestling fans still believe that the announced numbers are real, despite WWE saying that they are for entertainment value only.
I still play this game! So cool to see it being made
2:25 My favorite Gear
always wondered what the story was behind why Shawn swings a baseball bat in the game?? is it just because he was a heel?
It was funny, if anything, and Doinks, hammer, Lugars Steel chair?? I loved Razors Machete weapon, miss playing this game
@gabrielpalacios624 I miss playing it too, but the truth is that the game was so limited. The roster was very small, even in those days. The motion capture stuff is good, but I feel like it was the wrong thing to focus on if it comes at the expense of more important things like a bigger roster.
Old School HBK back in the mid 90s would be ready to hit the bar and stuff after all this! 😂
Needs a sequel with the new generation/attitude era that would be insane
I cracked out on that game so hard on snes. That is cool to see the making of..
This should've been in the game or something!
beat the Wrestlemania Challenge to view these
Good lord! Even the lighting next to the blue screen looks like the game!!!
HBK ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ❤
Have you considered making a documentary solely on WrestleMania the Arcade Game? Do you have behind the scenes footage of Bret Hart, Razor Ramon, Atom B, Bam Bam, Doink, Mr Fuji etc? Will you release a bluray version of this documentary with supplemental footage like this?
how about free on RUclips. there is way too much content out there to pay for that
This was probably in 93 When Shawn was IC Champion.
Please upload one of Undertaker, I want to see! If you can please!🙏
I met Doink the clown a bit over 20 years ago at a local match and asked him about making the game. He said there was a part when they all had to run on a treadmill. He said watching Yokozuna do it was halirious.
please tell me there is a video with Taker too
I have the game on my retro PC but i don't remember the wrestler talking only McMahon and Jerry were talking.
I love that games like Urban lockdown keep the idea of digitized sprites in games alive !
Till this day I really really wished Midway would have made In Your House (the so-called sequel)... I remember being so excited for In Your House and finally buying it and playing it for about 2 hours.. and just sticking WrestleMania the arcade game back in my PlayStation and never playing In Your House again..
Can't blame ya
The guy directing Shawn looks like Bart Gunn.
Sal Divita? He reminds me more of Bruce Campbell
WOW AMAZING ❤❤
