These scans remind me of the very early Kinnikuman manga from the 1979 debut issue . Love the art work it’s pretty zany . Thank you for posting I really like seeing these . Keep them coming if you can .

Famitsu Issue 10: Preview of Pro Wrestling with some artwork y'all might enjoy. Almost look like a genga version of the art work (hopefully it carries over and not just an anime term). Or someone at Famitsu traced the art for the magazine  |

Simple yet effective, the Pro-Wrestling match theme is a catchy little jingle. One that pops into my mind every so often, and once it's there,
it's quite difficult to get out.
One might argue that the lesser-known HAL Wrestling/Puroresu on the gameboy is the unofficial sequel to this 8-bit classic.
If HUMAN didn't go on to make the Fire Pro-Wrestling series, we probably would have had more sequels featuring Star Man and co.

Famitsu Issue 116: Champion Wrestler, in this build if you look at the weapons portion, it appears that a bucket and chair were initially in the build. It reminds me of LJN's WWF Raw (mainly because of the bucket being a weapon)  |

Man I really wish they would have continued this series . This and NES would have been some great video games . Hopefully the next gen games will have some storylines or create a storyline .

Yep i know about that game . I’ve never played it but I have read about it . Thank you for letting me know , I guess what I was wishing for was a game like Wrestlemania 2000 or No Mercy with those characters and story lines . I’m hoping Ultra Pro Wrestling will what I’m looking for .

Be sure to give Royal Pro-Wrestling on the 3D0 a try, too. Has the best, most-cheesiest cut scenes of any Wrestling game's career mode, by far. |

Oh I can’t wait to review it, I love the roster “Rich Flair” is an all time favorite also for everyone on this thread, sorry I have not been uploading recently. Doing some audio mixing for a video and a translation of the “Cutie Suzuki No Ringside Angel” manual… and if all goes well, I’ll have some announcements for the guidebook scan thread! |

Champion Wrestler looks really good, I don’t know how so many of these games just never made it here.
I was watching the video and it occurred to me that somehow the ring bell has become the official sound of the low blow/nut shot for wrestling games. I’d love to find out how that started and if it’s a running joke to keep the tradition alive!

Off the top of my head, Super Fire Pro-Wrestling on the Super Famicom (1991) and Fire Pro-Wrestling 2nd Bout (1991) both have the bell sound effect, when going for low blows. I don't think the bell sound effect comes from some sort of Japanese pop culture comedy skit or reference. Champion Wrestler Jikkyou Raibu always felt more like a Fire Pro clone, anyway. Which, isn't a bad thing at all, really. |

Update: Good news - Guides came in! (Well guides and 1 Manga)  Bad news - I probably won't get to scanning until next year. With so many guides, I'm going to be looking at saving up for a decent document camera with book correction and not relying on my slow flatbed scanner. But until then I'll keep on digging for some magazine articles! |

Ooh, that virtual pro one looks interesting, the Giant Gram one would be fun to look back on, too! I forgot about Rumble Roses, that was a pretty fun game, even though I could care less about Joshi stuff. Nice finds!
