 I know it's not as universally beloved as Wrestlefest but I remember pumping in a fair amount of quarters into this arcade game when my family lived overseas in Japan (I'm not sure if this was ever released in the US). I was always curious to know who the characters real-life counterparts were supposed to be. Off the top of my head, I can think of a Harley Race, Tiger Mask and Andre The Giant type characters. Does anyone else remember playing this game? |

I'll have to see if it was released in North America.
With those screen shots side by side like that, it looks like an undercard match on a WCW War Games PPV!

I think it was this:
Jimmy Carbon= Generic Junior Heavyweight of the time.
Nitro Bankus=Ultimate Warrior.
Matterhorn Decker= Andre The Giant
Miracle Rastan= Guys like The Barbarian, Warlord, etc.
Black Machine= Harley Race.
The Samuray= Evil Generic Japanese Heel.
Rocky Gardner= Stan Hansen.
Cobra Bloody Joe= Tiger Jeet Singh.

I don't have any pictures or screen shots handy, but I always thought Jimmy Carbon was supposed to in the vein of Jim Brunzell or Jimmy Snuka (I think he had the Killer Bee-looking tights if I remember right). Wasn't one of those guys also Hogan-esque too? Rocky maybe?
