Fun Fact: Wolf's backstory in Virtua Fighter is a reference to Andre the Giant. When Andre started wrestling in France, promoters billed him as a giant lumberjack from the woods outside of Grenoble, France who was found by a wrestling promoter and was convinced to get in the ring.
Fun Fact: The mask Ramon is holding is Blue Demon's Mask, one of the most iconic masks in Lucha Libre history, besides El Santo. Check for the design and compare to it.
I didn't know that. It's funny since no one ever took Blue Demon Mask. But that would be funny if Ramon have more mascaras on his collection, alluding to Mil Mascaras, LA PARKA, El Santo, Negrocasas, Rayo de Jallisco. Lucha Libre is fantastic, I always wanted to get more into. Thanks for the information.

I really like Tizoc. I've been playing fighting games ever since Street Fighter II and The King of Fighters '94, but never was interested in the wrestler types. Until Mark of the Wolves, which is a game I loved so much that I put on the extra effort to master all characters, instead of simply knowing how to fight them back. So I played Tizoc a bit and loved his flashy style. I think Clark from KoF series deserved a honorary mention, as well as a quick overlook to the Saturday Night Slam Masters 1 and 2. It's a game about wrestlers, after all.
Tina is a mix of a Brawler and Technician in term of wrestling. She have mad skills on holds and submission but her strikes are pretty rude as well... so yeah... she's pretty good in term of that (would totally kick any woman in the WWE Female Division... expect Asuka and Ember Moon... i think...)
Mika's entry made think that there should be a 'Top 10 Characters that utilize their butts in Fighting Games'... Peach, Mika, Anna Williams, Kuma/Panda, etc... It's just a silly idea though...
Don't forget that after TTT2, King also got Jaycee as his partner not just Marduk (The pachislot machines xD). And that makes sense considering that King and Julia were already friends. Though, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is considered non-canon. Meaning that Jaycee doesn't clearly exist
The Lucha Underground wrestler, Angelico, always reminded me of the no.8, Ramon from KOF. Has a very similar green/black/yellow color scheme, attitude and fighting style. Wonder if any of it's intentional... I mean, heck, between guys like Kenny Omega, "Mighty Mouse" Demetrious Johnson and of course Austin Creed, there's plenty of Pro-Wrestlers and Mixed Martial Artists who are huge, huge, _huge_ gamers nowadays. Anyway, great list! I wish RUclips recommended this channel to me sooner - I know I'm commenting on this months after it was posted, but hey, at least I discovered this channel eventually :)
Yeah #1 should be King from Tekken; literally the best representation of a wrestler in a fighting game with iconic moves like the people’s elbow, double-axe handle, lariats, moonsaults, and allll the chain grabs just to name a few. Plus, he’s one of the longest-surviving wrestlers of any fighting game.
Really Zangief iconic? I always thought king was more iconic since he is the only dude to wear jaguar head skin as a mask, while Zangief is just white mister T
Kinnikuman deserves some props for being the anime/manga series that inspired a lot of the moves the characters in this list and other grapplers use, namely the Kinniku Buster, Kinniku Driver and Muscle Spark.
Raiden should have had a bit more in the honorable mention since he's one of the only wrestler characters I've seen so far who incorporates the concept of heel and face; Raiden is him as a heel, and Big Bear is him as a face.
Another great list, MrTopTenList! Thanks for the shout out and thank you for saying my screen name correctly. 5:03 when you think about, Vanessa's team is a KOF version of Right 2 Censor 10:46 there is an option for forfeit, it's called "rage quit" :P
i used to REALLY like a game called Flying Dragon for the N64, and there was a wrestler on there named Powers. Wonder if he's related to Muscle Powers!!
Great wrestlers list you've got there! Plus what do you think of making these ideas for Top Ten Lists and What Ifs? Top Ten Kick Boxers (sequel to Top Ten Boxers) Top Ten Sumo Wrestlers (sequel to Top Ten Wrestlers) Top Ten Cryokinetics In Fighting Games (sequel to Top Ten Characters With Ice Manipulation Powers) Top Ten Pyrokinetics In Fighting Games (sequel to Top Ten Pyrokinetics In Anime) Top Ten "Dogs" And "Wolves" In Fighting Games (sequel to Top Ten "Cats" In Fighting Games) Top Ten Characters With Flower Manipulation Powers (sequel to Top Ten Characters That Fight With Roses) What If Arcana Heart Was An Anime What If Undertale Was A Fighting Game What If Hyperdimension Neptunia Was A Fighting Game What If Shonen Jump vs Dengeki Bunko Was A Crossover Project
Ultimate KillerKombat X well Red, out of all the names of the titles that I previously mentioned, how many of them do you never hear of in your entire life?
Little detail, the mask that Ramon is holding in his hand is the mask of a famous Mexican wrestler called "Blue Demon", and yes, his name was on English, he and another wrestler called "El Santo" (The Saint) made many movies, besides being wrestlers.
Actually the mask that ramon is holding is the one of a real life wrestler called Blue Demon, I read somewhere that Blue Demon is the master of Ramon and that mask is a gift.
awesome list My Favorite Video Game Wrestling Based Characters are Jun Kubota ( Variable Geo ) Darun Mister ( Street Fighter EX1 , EX2, EX3 And Fighting Layer EX ) , Clemence Keliber And Exodus ( Fighting Layer ) , Potemkin ( Guilty Gear ) , Galuda , Gunrock , ( Power Stone ) And Abigail ( Final Fight 1/ SFV). And Cathy Wild ( Asuka 120% Burning Fest. ) Causee are Characters with grabbling moves. But other than that it's pretty good video. Thanks.
Romon is holdin Blue demon´s mask. Blue demon is one of the oldest and very important legends of the mexican wrestlenig industry of the contry. Ramon has teh privilege to knew this legend and he has one of Blue demon´s mask ;)
Fun fact the guy from the Dial M For Monkey Episode was called Rasslor he was voiced by the real Macho Man Randy Savage and not just an actor doing a take of the famous wrestler. Rasslor is also meant to be a parody of the Marvel character Champion Of The Universe.
I didn't know about the Champion of the Universe fact. That's cool! I was thinking about going into the Macho Man fact since I remember being amazed by that when I learned about it a few years ago, but I didn't want to go on too much of a tangent. I'm glad someone else got the reference!

4:29 That artwork references legendary Mexican luchador Blue Demon, maybe implying he was his master. Just like Angel's origin, it was because of EVOGA's staff (the Mexican guys who designes Rage of the Dragons). one the guys knew the director of KOF 2001 was a fan of wrestling and Mexican luchador Mil Mascaras (who had a legendary match with Tiger Mask in Japan) so he brought him a book about Blue Demon (cuz he couldn't find anything about Mil, aside from masks), KOF's staff liked Blue Demon so much the illustrator even draw an artwork about him, later made a real size version and put it in the strance of the offices LMAO, that was why Blue Demon's mask ended up in Ramon's artwork
I miss El Blaze here. El Blaze is one of the favorites characters from Virtua Fighter. He is actualy the main reason from El Fuerte and Jaycee existence.
Since you mentioned Dial M for Monkey the main bad guys name was rasslor and he was voiced by the late great Macho Man Randy Savage. I still love the line "Again and Forever I am the Champeon".
I’d argue King’s style is more Puroresu than catch (no Shining Wizards, Lariats or Piledrivers in Catch Wrestling). That said...Minoru Suzuki was the motion capture for the first one. Bonus fact: While his appearance is based on Tiger Mask, his backstory is based on the same Wrestler as the film Nacho Libre.
Don't know if you knew this or if someone mentioned this already, but there was an American wrestler Jim Steele, who had most of his success in Japan wrestling for All Japan Pro Wrestling when he changed his gimmick to Wolf Hawkfield, as a tribute to the Wolf Hawkfield from Virtua Fighter. He basically cosplayed as him lol but he's also been featured in some Japanese wrestling games, such as the Fire Pro series. Great list! I'm a huge wrestling fan and I always gravitate to wrestlers in fighting games lol.
Perfect Timing. I've just become a fan of Wrestling (thanks to WWE2K's Character Creation.) To your point on the HYPE factor of wrestlers, you're absolutely right...... WE DON'T GET HYPE!!!!!!!! WE STAYYYYY HYPE!!!!!!!!!
GOING FULL HYPSTER HERE. ARE YOU READY? Gonzales from Kaiser Knuckle (although he was only playable in the never officially realeased version "DanKuGa", easly found on MAMEs). He is a Russian guy with a spanish name who wears a gi but fights with wrestling moves. Yeah, he is an unknown weirdo, but his moves are actually really fun. He deserved at least an honorable mention in this list.
King's mask actually forms part of the Incan Trinity of sacred animals (Puma, but in case of King, a Jaguar). The other two are condor (Tizoc, but is actually called Griffon Mask) and snake (King of Dinosaurs AKA Tizoc in KOF14). I guess the snake can't be fitted well in a wrestling mask. Tizoc even likes "Legendary Masks" in his profile at 15:17
1) King 2) Wolf Hawkfield 3) Haggar/Zangief (tie) 4) Tizoc 5) R. Mika 6) Muscle Power 7) Raiden/Big Bear 8) Bass Armstrong 9) Angela Belti (look her up) 10) El Blaze
Fun fact: there was a actual wolf hawkfield i mean real wrestler played gimmick of this wrestling character in 90's in all Japan pro wrestling. I think they had a tie up with virtua fighter game in that time. Another fun fact: all Pro wrestling had wrestling games where all the virtua fighter wrestlers included with the real life wrestlers in the roster.
Ya know that rainbow Mika and her partners super move is a reference to the manga kinnikuman where he and Terry man go for the muscle docking but instead it's a two man kinniku buster
One odd ball I like but I whould not put on the list is Cyborg 16 from Super Dragonball. There they made him a wrestler. Upgrade him to full and he have a combo that can delete the opponents health bar in no time.
Top 10 ____ in Fighting Games: - Ninjas - Assassins (different from ninjas, basically non-japanese fighters who use a lot of holds, weapons and firearms) - Bruce Lee homages - Femme Fatales
"You're a big dude, you look like you can wrestle." 40% of 80s-early 90s wrestling recruitments
Don't forget the 70s wrestling recruitments.
"You're a big dude, you can totally be a wrestler."
So Vince McMahon found him then.
Yeah after hearing that it sounded like Andre the giant
@@angelganon8213 and Giant Gonzalez.
King can take out the opponent's entire health with chains of throws and locks
#1 should be King. The series of grappling and striking techincs is the most wide in the history of games. Also, you missed Stun from Bloody Roar.
cool
Agreed.. I used to love using wolf in VF .. However once you go King it's hard to go back to any other wrestler..
Dam right
Bloody Roar is sorely underrated.
Yup that rolling death cradle beats everything
Fun Fact: Wolf's backstory in Virtua Fighter is a reference to Andre the Giant. When Andre started wrestling in France, promoters billed him as a giant lumberjack from the woods outside of Grenoble, France who was found by a wrestling promoter and was convinced to get in the ring.
Zangief will crush your head like sparrow egg between thighs
Bradley Boy wreck it Ralph reference, love it!
Birds are dinosaurs...
It's actually satin
And king will crush ur each and every bone 😛😛
Nice reference.
Who wants a New Saturday night slam masters with all the other capcom wrestlers on the roster such as Poision, Hugo, Mika etc.
That would be awesome!
El Fuerte teamed up with El Stingray
Make it happen!!!
That would be great 🙂!!!
I would pay buckets for this
Fun Fact: The mask Ramon is holding is Blue Demon's Mask, one of the most iconic masks in Lucha Libre history, besides El Santo. Check for the design and compare to it.
I have just mention that little fact a moment ago.
I didn't know that. It's funny since no one ever took Blue Demon Mask. But that would be funny if Ramon have more mascaras on his collection, alluding to Mil Mascaras, LA PARKA, El Santo, Negrocasas, Rayo de Jallisco.
Lucha Libre is fantastic, I always wanted to get more into. Thanks for the information.
My #1 would be King because of his 3D moveset, making it more technical to grapple and stuff like it would be in real life!
Haggar also has a 3d moveset.
But is King the mayor of EARTH?

Sucks mike haggar couldn't be in the street fighter universe like Cody and guy did. It would've been awsome to see how he and zangief would interact.
Funny I never asked myself that question, you're right!
Like armstrong and that other buff guy in fullmetal alchemist.
No .. 1 the king.
I really like Tizoc. I've been playing fighting games ever since Street Fighter II and The King of Fighters '94, but never was interested in the wrestler types. Until Mark of the Wolves, which is a game I loved so much that I put on the extra effort to master all characters, instead of simply knowing how to fight them back. So I played Tizoc a bit and loved his flashy style.
I think Clark from KoF series deserved a honorary mention, as well as a quick overlook to the Saturday Night Slam Masters 1 and 2. It's a game about wrestlers, after all.
Tina is a mix of a Brawler and Technician in term of wrestling. She have mad skills on holds and submission but her strikes are pretty rude as well... so yeah... she's pretty good in term of that (would totally kick any woman in the WWE Female Division... expect Asuka and Ember Moon... i think...)
We need a top 10 Mixed-Martial Artist in Fighting Games.
Mika's entry made think that there should be a 'Top 10 Characters that utilize their butts in Fighting Games'... Peach, Mika, Anna Williams, Kuma/Panda, etc... It's just a silly idea though...
Omri14794 Very, very nice idea!!!
dont forget the best waifu

Top ten characters who use their butts in fighting games!
Goro Daimon - KOF series
Clark Still - KOF series
No
Goro Daimon is Judo tho
This video was cool and deserves more credit.
Don't forget that after TTT2, King also got Jaycee as his partner not just Marduk (The pachislot machines xD). And that makes sense considering that King and Julia were already friends.
Though, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is considered non-canon. Meaning that Jaycee doesn't clearly exist
CLARK from kof
The Lucha Underground wrestler, Angelico, always reminded me of the no.8, Ramon from KOF. Has a very similar green/black/yellow color scheme, attitude and fighting style.

Top 10 characters who use ice powers in fighting games
Jin Kisaragi better appear on that list.
Sub-zero and Glacius instantly comes to my mind
So for Muy Thai, when Bruce should have been #1, he wasn't. And with this, where King should have been #1, he wasn't.
What are you on?
IamVenVile finally someone who speaks the truth
You're absolutely right, how dare he have his own opinion!
Bane is so cool in I:2.
Also a soul patch is the hair below the bottom lip. Not the chin.
6:30 Okay, that was on purpose!
King is clearly the best wrestler ever. Zangief is the most iconic. Everyone else is cool though.
Really Zangief iconic? I always thought king was more iconic since he is the only dude to wear jaguar head skin as a mask, while Zangief is just white mister T
I’ll be honest, I was really sad to not see Pika Libre in the top 10. Her ultimate is so funny, and I love her.
Kinnikuman deserves some props for being the anime/manga series that inspired a lot of the moves the characters in this list and other grapplers use, namely the Kinniku Buster, Kinniku Driver and Muscle Spark.
I love Ramon, his Team Mexico in Kof XIV is the beat team in the game.
Raiden should have had a bit more in the honorable mention since he's one of the only wrestler characters I've seen so far who incorporates the concept of heel and face; Raiden is him as a heel, and Big Bear is him as a face.
Okey I really want a Wrestling Game with all these Amazing Wrestlers
With a DLC characters that are real life Wrestlers from the WWE
That would be one of the greatest crossovers!

He's a tough one. You can barely land a hit on him 🤣
Why have Wolfgang when you can have The Undertaker himself since he was in King of Fighters All Star.
