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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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".
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
He was a good wrestler and very underrated, have a look at some of his old matches, He went by his real name Mike Rotunda in WCW and had some good matches back in the day.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I'm definitely going to be that guy, but I find this to be very important. How'd you manage to and that cool capture card? Like, it doesn't have to be plugged into any laptops or anything at all?
Could you please list what equipment your using? I saw what looked like a hack nes mini and some kind of Arcade 1up emu box or something. Just wanting to know...
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
😂😂 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.
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.
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.

A true villain
True.
And Hogan's power-up should have been a bag of cocaine.
The phrase "chasing Ted Dibiase around the ring" sounds hilarious in itself......
Razor Ramon in King of the Ring, his image looks like Texas Pete from SuperTed to me :D
Oh hello larry
He looks like Desperate Dan
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!!!
Very fond memories of playing Westlemania challenge. Thanks for the video it made me smile. The 8bit theme songs are brilliant.
I remember when I had my very first pro wrestling video game on the NES,WWF WrestleMania Steel Cage Challenge.
Playing NES games on a huge flat screen is one heck of a life goal!! Great video and even better setup
Hogen job to Savage:
''Doesn't work for me, brother!''
''Hey, Freakshow! You ain't goin NOWHERE!''
Hogan doing the job to Randy Savage? That's unheard of lol
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
Would love to see an N64 version of this for both wwe and wcw

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...
YES! Love your game reviews!
Razor Ramon on king of the ring game looks like Desperate Dan from the Dandy comics
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.
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.
Absolutely! The best
Pro Wrestling was great, but Tecmo World Wrestling is an overall better game.
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.

Nice. I had WrestleMania Challenge. Good memories.
Ok I am totally in love with your console setup my bro.

servly underrated channel!
love your work! keep it coming!
I Love that your doing wrestling game review's! Great stuff!
5:50 If I had to say who "Yourself" was I'd probably say Dino Bravo, looking at that image?
As someone who grew up with these games, truly a dark time for wrestling games. We just didn't know any better.
Wrestlemania Challange, what a game! I remember Hulk and his full on tan in that one
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".
razor looks like the dude from full throttle
That million dollar man from the first game is a dead ringer for Michael Hayes
Doot doot doot
AVGN has taught me not to expect anything good out of LJN games
They arent the Laughing Joking Numbnuts for nothing...
LJN is awesome... shut up!!

Hogan does an elbow drop for his ground move instead, for some reason.
Everyone did the elbow drop from the top rope except Macho Man. He did a knee drop. Always pissed me off
Would like to hope Macho Man won that tournament, return of the Macho King!
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.
Bam Bam was so important in the late 80s that he made it to the first WWF game ever. That's neat
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.
Didn't actually know there was ever a wrestling game featuring my man Rick Rude.
He's in WCW SuperBrawl for SNES, and he might be in the WCW game for the gameboy too.
Been playing these on my custom arcade I built for my channel true classics, thanks for all the great videos love watching your stuff
You recognize Razor as a Mike Tyson Punch out character
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.
Bonus points if you actually look like “yourself” haha. That’s great. The razor Ramon looks like soda popinski from punch out
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.
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
I love playing with myself! No tights or boots required lol
I just can't see the LJN logo now without thinking of Laughin' Jokin' Numbnuts.
The only nes wwf game I played was steel cage challenge and I had pretty fond memories of playing it back in the day.
That 8 bit music is the best part
I was looking up who Irwin Schyster was since I didn't know him. He is also the father of Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas.
He was a good wrestler and very underrated, have a look at some of his old matches, He went by his real name Mike Rotunda in WCW and had some good matches back in the day.
@@1979mattant captain Mike Rotunda for awhile. Ha
Nintendo pro wrestling in tecmo World Wrestling had better graphics and more moves and they were released roughly around the same time right?
WWF King of the Ring was my very first WWF Game back in the day. What a fine memory
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
3:58-4:02 I'm trying to imagine Ted DiBiase body pressing Bam Bam Bigelow halfway across the ring😂😂😂
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.
I still got these on my NES. Even the WCW game.
love Wrestlemaina challenge! but if you toss out Aundre he can't get back in
Razor Ramon looked like desperate dan
Back in the days when i was a kid i remember having fun playing wrestlemania steel cage challenge I liked it a lot :))
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 think the cartoon you're thinking in Royal Rumble for Razor Ramon is Super MachoMan from Mike Tyson's Punch Out.
"This is Ted Dibiase"
Me: "Which one???"
Talk about the nostalgia factor. The music at the very end I remember that on multiple Nintendo titles.
Nice vid! What do you use to screen capture?
I find it tough to dislike anything WWF. It's just so badass.
the best wrestling game for nes is pro wrestling, by a hundred miles
I've had the music stuck in my head since I was a child.
Tecmo World Wrestling was good too.
I think the Razor Ramon picture is probably reminding you of Desperate Dan, from The Dandy.
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.

The Funny Razor Ramon Picture looks like the Guy from Full Throttle
That Razor Ramon looked like Hass Delgado from Billy and Mandy lol
That's a cracking gaming set up. Good stuff.
Best NES wrestling titles:
Pro Wrestling
Tecmo World Wrestling
Wish they used those developers.
I'm definitely going to be that guy, but I find this to be very important. How'd you manage to and that cool capture card? Like, it doesn't have to be plugged into any laptops or anything at all?
Could you please list what equipment your using? I saw what looked like a hack nes mini and some kind of Arcade 1up emu box or something. Just wanting to know...
I got wrestlemania challenge for my birthday. 1st wrestling game I've ever had.
So did I, my first wrestling game too.
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.
Hey there - what is the HDMI hub your using as we are trying different solutions to make it easier for us to record etc
Tecmo World Wrestling was my fave Wrestling game on my NES.
Razor Ramon on King of the Ring game looks like Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz from Phineas and Ferb😂😂
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.
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.

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 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.
I thought that rendition of Razor Ramon look like Popeye in a way
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.
What kind of HDMI converter did you buy? It’s hard finding a good one, yours looked interesting
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 feel like I remember doing the rude awakening with Rick Rude
Legend's of wrestle mania. Classic
No mention of the one redeeming quality of WWF Wrestlemania.....the great music!
Razor Ramone looks like the lead singer character from the cartoon "Metalacolypse"
