Comment

A simplistic wrestling game similar to the earlier Tag Team Wrestling, albeit not quite as much fun. Play as the hero team, consisting of parodies of Antonio Inoki and Hulk Hogan, against the masked heel team. Although characters are much larger than in Tag Team and can jump, duck, and attack without grappling first, they are limited to only moving forward and backwards, which is extremely restrictive. Control is a bit sluggish, as well.
