IGN has posted a interesting article called IGN Presents the History of Wrestling Games.

Quote:


	"On the Sega Master System, Pro Wrestling was a super-deformed tag team mashup, mixing up grapples with knee drops, suplexes and aerial moves. More importantly, it introduced a rudimentary heal/face system to determine which teams could and couldn't fight each other, determined by another early innovation: optional in-ring weapons."

It was a nice try by IGN, but they got a lot of stuff wrong when it comes to the gameplay of the AKI games and such.

I enjoyed the look back. I'm always a big fan of these types of articles.

2. Wrestling games are dead to me. Maybe because I don't keep up with wrestling now.

3. This article took me back man.

My all-time favorite wrestling game to play was WCW/NWO Revenge for N64.

Yeah that would have been the ultimate. I loved playing as AKi Man and using his Ultimate Punches move. Or Dr. Frank and spin the guy around by his feet. Then he would fall down too.

WCW Revenge and WWE Wrestlemania 2000 where the cream of the crop..
