The Funtime Pro Wrestling Arcade is now legal (to drink and such...I'm sure there are plenty of things about this series that we could get sued for). On this episode, Joe looks at 1993's Nintendo trainwreck: LJN's WWF King of the Ring! With Razor Ramon's lightning speed, separate King of the Ring AND tournament modes, no finishers and the return of YOU, how could you go wrong...?

What was that horrible song during the end credits?

[MikeAndTomPresent]

@KMXTube "Never Been a Right Way to Say Goodbye" by Bret Hart.

Any chance you might do Cutie Suzukie's Ringside Angel on the Genesis/Mega Drive...

@OldSchoolRasslin Not that bad it was NES game, all the games looked that on NES

Dude. You forgot to do WWF Steel Cage Challenge for the NES, which came before King of the Ring.

As soon as I heard Lord Alfred Hayes say "Promotional consideration paid for by the following" I expected to hear RD Reynolds plug Global Internet and AngryMarks (OVER THE TOP, DAD!!)

@sofakingoo My thoughts exactly. It made me happy when it started each video - always reminded me of Mega Man X.

Weird not hearing the capcom theme...

I absolutely agree with you that this was the worst wrestling game. I remember as a kid renting this, and walking back to Blockbuster and claiming that it didn't work, and asking them to replace it with another game because I was so angry with how bad this game was.  And that's coming from someone who rented WrestleMania on NES. Alot.
