The severe lack of King of Colosseum 2 which easily could have battled VPW2 for the #1 spot.
There are so many great games to choose from! KoC 2 is a great pick as well.
We were a bit late to the import scene and have played many games but haven’t sunk our teeth into all of them yet. So, KoC is a bit like The Wild Rings for us and can’t wait to play it in depth for review!
@vgwaworld KOC 2, ASPW 3, VPW2, WK2, and FPW from Saturn to Ps4 are my favorite. I can't pick a number 1.
That is really our problem. There are a lot of great wrestling games and we want to show them off to everyone.
Man...we missed out on great wrestling games throughout the years. Thanks for bringing these games to light. Great video!
I find hard to believe that there is probably 75+ console wrestling games (even more on CPU based included) that we never got to see!
Thanks as always for watching and commenting! (Now to listen to my Father’s Day gift, 40th anniversary Ace of Spades box set 😁)
I started collecting import wrestling games 2 years ago. I was sleeping one night a RUclips was playing in the background. I woke up to a video that read "The evolution of wrestling games." it changed my life. I own almost every wrestling game. I'm missing some FP games and some of the PC engine ones because I don't own the console. I own every game on here, though
Great to have Charlie Day off sunny as one of the voiceover narrators 😂😂
Other RUclips channels “We don’t cover wrestling games…
That’s Charlie work”
Thanks for checking out our video and leaving a comment!
This list is pretty good. The one that caught me off guard, is The Wild Rings. The gameplay and Aesthetics are pulling me ! I gotta play it.
Glad you liked the list! We are also looking forward to going more in depth with The Wild Rings as well. Currently we have a disc only version and are trying to get a manual to scan to learn the gameplay in depth. There is 1 FAQ available on gamefaqs luckily.
Thanks for stopping in and checking out our video and leaving a comment! Hopefully we will see you again!
Thanks for this list. Vety educational and informative for a wrestling game player and collector.
Thanks for watching and commenting! We enjoy playing and collecting wrestling games and SLOWLY going through and ranking all of them! So make sure to check in as we will have more game information on the way!
KOC II, ASPW3, VPW 2, TR4, WK 2, Giant Gram 2 and FFPW are my favs. ☺️
Great taste! We are late to the import scene and getting to experience these games for the first time. We have played many (a few hours each, there over 200) and now going through reviewing them with more in depth gameplay.
I can’t wait to get to that era! (Just now entering the 16-bit era)
Everything you named is basically my favorite. I like TR 2 and 3 better than 4 tho
I love seeing Toukon Retsuden getting some love
Toukon Restsuden does get left out of the conversation a lot. We appreciate you keeping up with our channel and commenting!
It is VERY slow going but we are archiving the official guide book for Toukon Retsuden as well. On goal we have is to get a decent document camera by the year end 🤞
criticalclub.com/thread/1924/guidebook-toukon-retsuden-official-complete
So, check it out if you are interested. Once finished we are bundling it all up and uploading to Archive.org
I feel like I saw Johnny Ace in Number 4, along with Dr. Death. Interesting game there.
It is great budget Saturn import title! I have actually been surprised by how many Johnny Ace appearances we have seen. I was not in the import scene for games or wrestling at the time and he will forever be the dynamic dude to me!
Well, one half of the dynamic dudes!
As a fan of japanese wrestling games i can't believe that i never heard Wild Rings until now
Probably being an Japanese OG Xbox exclusive makes it a bit obscure
Luckily recently we found a manual to purchase so we can figure out how to play (FAQs are always good, but occasionally miss things)
Thanks for watching our video and we appreciate the comment!
Also, look forward to an announcement for “Pro Wrestling Video Game Legend” book when it is upload it to archive.org, it covers Japanese wrestling games 1985 to 2000 (we are about 120 pages out of 200-ish scanned)

Technically its an updated "Pro Wrestling" from 8 bit NES. "Pro Wrestling" is the Grandfather of Fire-Pro.
Great thing about video game wrestling is most of them are made from other wrestling games from the past. Just don’t believe the AEW game is like the classic N64 games.
Thanks for the comment and keep watching for more videos.
AJPW w/ Virtua has Jeffry and Wolf from Virtua Fighter :D
It was such a surprise game for us! It was tossed in with the Saturn I bought a long time ago, not a bad freebie!
It's a prequel to the Giant Gram games
I just had PlayStation 2 Fire pro wrestling really enjoyed playing that game with all my promotions all together and then I work with with my best friend
Can never go wrong with Fire Pro Wrestling. It is the most versatile game series out of them all. Here at VGWA it is on the top of our list of favorite wrestling games. Just for some reason Cobrettie is better at it.
Thanks for the comment and more videos will be coming soon.
I believe you missed "Champion Wrestler" on the PS1, very similar to FIre Pro.
There are so many great options, actually we are playing the OG Champion wrestler (switch and TG-16 versions) for our next review. But the PS1 version is pretty different!
The King of Coliseum Red, Green and 2 are pretty good imports as well! (Hybrid wrestler, 3-4 Bodukan… picking only 10 is hard!)
Thanks for watching and commenting!
The only knock on VPW2 is the licensing of the other promotions outside of AJPW
True, but with enough time a CAW league is possible. I wouldn’t do that now but I was fully into create a wrestlers when these games were released
Thank you for watching our video and leaving a comment! We appreciate it!
And in Jikkyo Max Voltage there's a match with electrified barbwire ropes and explosives outside the ring!
The more I learn about that game, the more I love it. I actually bought it with out knowing anything about it and it keeps on surprising me!
Loved it so much, I had to get a box version with the manual 😂
Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
@vgwaworld I love import wrestling games and your videos are great! I'm surprised Gekitou Burning Pro Wrestling wasn't part of the honorable mentions, that's a great game, have you played?
I actually use a Retron 3 to play because it can play the super famicom carts. I imported a ps2 from Japan though. And the n64 ones....well....I'm sure you can guess how I'm able to play those ones 🤣
Awesome video guys 😎!
Thanks for watching and commenting! We appreciate the support!!!
Oh my, how is KoC II not on this list?
That is a great question. Cobrettie made the mistake and left it off. He will be working extra hours for this mistake. We do love KoC II.
Thanks for the comment and keep watching for more videos to come.
Where is KOC2, All-Star Pro Wrestling II and IIII, and ALL Japan King of Souls on PS1. Those are all better than a few you have on your list.
Good call on all the games they are all great. Cobrettie should be fired for leaving them off.😬
Thanks for the comment and these games will show up in later videos.
If they made a wrestling game today with the best from WK2 and DOR2, it would be an amazing game.
That is a tough one, WK2 I’m all in, DOR2 I did enjoy but I also was a fan of XIX, so it’s a tough call!
Bro, we got similar taste
FP didnt show up because if it was allowed this would just be top 10 fire pro games lol
For imports, yeah there could be a chance the whole list could be FP 😂. We were late to import wrestling scene, so Fire Pro does have an advantage of not totally learning a new game and just learning the new tweaks.
Great if you like FP, but if you don’t… we’ll pretty much all FP games are FP. What’s your favorite non FP/KoC import?
Thanks for watching and commenting!
My father favorite BoBo
We have a love hate relationship with Bobo, mainly due to Mat Mania “Coco”
Thanks for checking us out and leaving a comment!
Just a friendly heads up, toukon is pronounced "toe-con".
Thanks! Still learning and there are plenty of things that don’t translate well when pronounced by southern boys, it already puts us at a disadvantage 😂
Plus thank you for watching and leaving a comment! Except now all I can think of is a Megatron with a toe head “Toe-con”s attack!!!!
Just found your channel, pretty cool. Gotta severely disagree with The Wild Rings. I've spent some time with that game and it sucks. There's a sharp initial impression that is "good" but it wears thin rather quick. I'm surprised someone likes it (compared to what else is available) because it isn't very deep or fun. A better inclusion (imho) would've been THE PRO WRESTLING. It's what the US PS1 Smackdown games were based on except TPW is a tad slower and has a bunch of match types. It's very good.
THE PRO WRESTLING is an awesome game and we can’t wait to cover it. Wild Rings has its faults and we could easily point them out, but Cobrettie is a sucker for these games.
Really appreciate your comment and this helps us. Keep watching and continue to share your opinions. We encourage these discussions.
Hey, you liked the Wild Rings also Walley! But we will admit we haven’t dug our teeth in the game and going off that initial impression.
Plus LJN’s version of Royal Rumble is my favorite game, so we all should know I have no taste,
@@vgwaworld - brother if that's what you're basing taste off of, my current favorite wrestling game is Wrestling Empire on the Switch lol so what do I know!?
you think chono vs onita was garbage? there is alot of garbage deathmatch now a days but done right its not garbage
It was more tongue in cheek, but here is my view on it
I think there is a time and place for it all. I lean less is more. A match here and there is ok, a whole promotion based off it gets repetitive though (currently thinking about the barn house/bingo indies here in Texas)
I’ll check out Chono vs Onita, also you might want to check out the most memorable matches of the 80s video (picks from us and other content creators), my pick was Piper vs Valentine dog collar match.
Thanks for watching and commenting! We appreciate it!
It'a hard for me to believe you've earned the right to sling insults at other journalists when you couldn't figure out how guard works in Giant Gram 2000.
Completely agree. We were having issues with guard in Giant Gram 2000 and to be honest we never use guard in most games. We insult each other and that is our way of showing we recognize people. Probably not right but we are hoping people speak their mind as freedom of speech is important.
Thanks for the comment and keep watching.
