  1. So this is what the Wrock is cookin’.

  2. Are you not posting on the Laser Time main page anymore? I almost missed three episodes in a row. And that’s good for no one.

  3. Man, I have not been into pro wrestling for a good 10 years now, but I always enjoyed the games. Ted Debiase/Diabetes’ track reminded me of “Elec Man,” but that “Girls in Cars” similarity is pretty funny. Reminds me of how Goonies II had a chiptune version of Cyndi Lauper’s “Good Enough.”

    …And I just watched that “Girls in Cars” music video. Ugh, so cheesy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bNr3144GDI

    That bass guitar in WCW Super Brawl has that Shadowrun SNES-esque feel, I dig it. I remember that game being pretty horrid.

    My interest in wrestling games started with WWF Raw and Royal Rumble for SNES (which had pretty great renditions of the wrestler’s themes), heightened by WCW/NWO World Tour/Revenge & Wrestlemania 2000/No Mercy and then tapered off after Here Comes the Pain for PS2. I cannot say anything about WCW/NWO Revenge without thinking of that fake guitar sound that’s in all of its music.

    Oh, and Fire Pro Wrestling got loads of playtime on my GBA (I sucked at it though). I wish we got the SNES titles.

    Looking forward to that supposed Mystical Ninja episode..or Breath of Fire..or continuing the Zelda goodness.

  5. The entirety of my knowledge of wrestling comes from the Laser Time network. Regardless, this music is pretty awesome. And now I can never hear Hulk Hogan’s theme without thinking “Finger putter on a candy stick…”

  6. How the hell did you guys skip Slam Masters?!

    It’s not like you didn’t play music from fictional wrestling games.

  7. Amazing episode…..good variety of systems and leagues (WWF, WCW, etc.)….would have liked a bit more Saturday Night Slam Masters but I had a lot of fun with this one!!

  8. Nacho Madness is coming at ya!

  9. […] all, Dave here! I’ve spoken at great lengths about wrestling video game history on both VGMpireand Retronauts, but (most) WrestleMania games have a special place in my heart. Here’s a brief […]

  10. Around minute 42, the music played in the background sounds a little like Shadowrun’s “Sleazy Bar” track on the SNES.

    Here’s link for the Sleazy Bar track for reference.
