What is going on people? With the Biggest weekend in wrestling upon us, I thought that I should give my thoughts on what game I consider to be my favorite Wrestling video game, of all time. I have to admit that I am not that big of a fan of the newer games and heck not that that big a fan of the newer wrestling product either, so its not going to be any of the new titles that have come out in the last decade. I was more of a wrestling fan and also a wrestling videogame fan back on my N64 and even before then .I do remember enjoying nWo vs WCW on my N64 a lot but for me there is nothing like the classic NES Pro Wrestling game from way , way back. My brother bought the NES just before the SNES came out, so we were spoiled with choices of great NES titles, however one title that we kept returning to over and over was NES Pro wrestling. My favorite character was Star Man who, although dressed in pink and having a silly mask, was the coolest character of the bunch. My brother was fond of the amazon, an almost Blanka inspired character who had a very devastating bite attack which I really disliked when I played against my brother as Star Man. So , naturally when I came across this youtube video it brought back very fond memories of playing this classic wrestling video game with my big brother as kids. So, take a short time out from your WrestleMania weekend and enjoy a great wrestling video game that for its time, in my opinion, was far superior to anything that has come out since. I hope that this video brings back some fond memories for some of you, as it did for me.

This one is for Survivor man G ! Enjoy, where ever you are !
A pretty awesome choice, and one I spent many hours playing single player and multi against my own brother and friends, as well as my 5 time removed cousin Survivor Man G. And, oddly enough, your two favorite characters were mine as well. Star Man being atop the bunch for the face-like characters. Gotta love the VWA promotion, they remembered that wrestling should be on… ahem…. TNA…. wrestling shows or games.
Also, speaking of Survivor Man G, if you are reading this and have any information as to his whereabouts, please contact myself or my family. We remain concerned about him and his well being. With no contact through the show this week, we hope all is well in parts unknown.
