Just out of curiosity I was looking to see if there was a copy of The Wild Rings manual online (of course not) as I own a disc only version. But I did run across this. It is a patch for the game that updates the names to English. I haven’t tried it yet www.romhacking.net/translations/2673/ |

Alright, fellow Wrestling video game historians.
The Wild Rings (XBOX):
If Pachinko machines aren't your thing and you're looking for an alternative to King of Colloseum, fret not! This 2004 Japan-only XBOX title is filled to brim with recognizable faces all under different aliases.  Here's a few screens:  Prepare to yob to the Flying Crosschop.  The 8th wonder is putting the boot to this Anime spin-off.  Whether you're going for a knockout or a Karelin Lift, different styles can mix it up in the ring  The full list of The Wild Ring's fake names (and the Wrestlers they are based off of) can be found here: translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://edit.michikusa.jp/twr-rename.htm&prev=search&pto=aueThis link leads to a whole bunch of gobbledygook, which I'm fairly certain wasn't intentional. I am fairly certain I've played this game but unfortunately it doesn't work under Xbox emulation. I would love to go back and visit it |

Yes they developed Capcom bowling and went on to also produce world-class bowling which came out in the mid-90s. Nice history of this game by the way |

Nice history of this game by the way I loved how they reskinned it for Coors Light Bowling as well! Ah... the 80's.... Thank you for the kind words! |

Does Hollywood from G.L.O.W. count with an appearance in Plumbers Don't Wear Ties for the 3DO?   |

Enemies from the Tiger Mask anime served as inspirations for characters in the NES cult classic Pro-Wrestling. Amazon was based on Piranha Man, and The Great Puma bares a strong resemblance to both Tiger Mask and the villainous Great Tiger. |

I can't be the only one who thinks that Tecmo World Wrestling "Level 2 Music" (Matches 3-6 I think?) Background music sounds a little bit like the Tiger Mask theme song in parts.
Also I did NOT preorder Plumber's Don't Wear Ties from Limited Run Games....
ok... I did...

I went back and looked at the images I have and they would totally fit in . |
