Bop 'N Wrestle was a lot of fun!  My only complaint was in the 1 player mode when you defeated every wrestler and got to Lord Tuff....if you beat him for the championship belt there was no acknowledgement by the computer.  No belt-raising graphic, no text that read "congratulations", nothing.  Just one extra sound blast of crowd noise.

Considering how difficult (beating all the wrestlers) that was to do, I was a little disappointed.

Did anyone play Saturday Night Slammasters for the Genesis and the SNES? These games were like a cross between wrestling and SF2. I had a ton of fun with these games growing up and I picked up a copy a few years ago and had a blast with it as well.

I guess that this is a good time to once again tell the Critic that he needs to review Pro Wrestling for the NES.  I know he's not a big wrestling game fan (neither am I), but this game is one of the best multiplayer games for the system.  The game has such a memorable cast of characters, and the gameplay is simple yet never feels shallow and repetitive.  I can guarantee that if Dave gets his friends together, and they imbibe copious amounts of alcohol and play this game, everyone will have an absolute blast.  Review it!

Rev-I forgot all about Saturday Night Slam Masters.  I used to love playing that on my SNES.  I once let my friend borrow it, and I couldn't wait to get it back.  My favorite wrestler was the small guy that did that spinning drill kick. One thing I liked about it was it was the first wrestling game I ever played that had entrances, and  yes, it was a lot like SF2. 
 
Edward- I have heard a lot of great things about WWE No Mercy over the years for the N64.  When I had a N64 I used to always skip over it when I came across it, because at the time I never heard anything about it.  Maybe one day I'll give a try.
