Imagine if Justin played the WWF World Title arcade ladder, instead of the intercontinental. The last match you have to face the whole roster, 3 at a time with one health bar lol Ultimate rage fuel
Wow, this is a super nostalgic callback for me. Spent tons of money on this game at a local pizza restaurant. Undertaker and Razor Ramon were my dudes.
One of my favorite games of all time. WWE has really dropped the ball on bringing this back. The last "arcade style" WWE game was terrible. You can get some wildly long combos in this game.
I loved this game as a kid. I had it for my SNES and Taker was my favorite character. Back then I had a Nintendo Power Magazine that had all the moves and combos. With taker you can pull off a massive combo that ends with 3 choke slams and the last one he jumps like 50 feet in the air. Such good memories.
I remember this game's control scheme was a little strange. It used a Mortal Kombat layout, but there wasn't a run button. Instead you had to hit LP+LK to run and many moves came off the run. Also, there was a lot of double tapping. Like, a basic grapple was f, f, HP. IIRC it also seemed to favor negative edge with inputs.
This is great just recently subscribed and I’m absolutely loving the triple KO podcast. Really have gotten into fighting games recently and I think it’s the most unappreciated genre in gaming. Right now KoF XV is my preferred game and capcom fighting collection
this was the greatest game of all time.. so many mechanics and roster with personalities.. I remember you could juggle lex with hitman's rolling punch forever it was an infinite.. bam bam has a combo glitch where he hits you with 15 hits but it doesn't count as combo.. almost all the characters have negative edge moves
Undertaker has good zoning tools in this game. I used to play this a ton at the arcade and on sega and this game is why I was hyped to see WWE in kof all stars.
I don't know what's more hilarious, Vince McMahon yelling "Boom Shakalaka" in this game or watching Yokozuna get yeeted out the ring like a dang ragdoll!!!
I've seen this on Twitch. JWong tried to play the WWF Championship mode, then gave up when he can't make it further than the 2nd round (I think) & switched to the Intercontinental Championship mode. But at the end of the WWF Championship mode is a "Wrestlemania Challenge", where you have to fight all 8 wrestlers in a round, ala Survival Mode
1st saw a trailer of this on a VHS we rented for the weekend. Will never forget bam bam bigalow tutoring his 23 hit combo. I knew than that I had to find it. Good times
One tactic I used when I used to play this a ton on the snes, was to use run a lot. Basically the whole time. Run to dodge, run to attack. Other than that, grab and do combo’s helps. Also certain moves you can hit multiple times, like swinging that tombstone.
Watching your struggle live was a joy to behold (well, not the full run as I arrived at the last 2 matches, but still... waiting for that Dino Rex jankyard video or whatever). Edit: I was able to find my chat comment about that choked failed round of the final match... kind of funny to see my own chat messages there (I was there as pikangs_dollhart).
One of my favorite games of all time! Cool to see you playing it...my main was Yokozuna...combos are key in this game believe me i played this hardcore back in the day...once you get the combos and reversals down you will be good to go...and Yokozuna is broken like hell in this game...the hit stun from his salt throw is insane
@@RamiahMorris Yokozuna got AMAZING crowd control, power and strangely priority. I hardly know any combos and I beat the World Champion run thanks to Yokozuna.
Never thought I'd see Justin play a wrestling game here, and even then, I assumed it would be something like SNK's 3-Count Bout or Capcom's Ring of Destruction: Slam Masters 2 - more well-known/classically-styled wrestling/fighting game hybrids. If any WWE game showed up, _maybe_ All Stars? But this? Total surprise - and I love to see it!
Actually, now that I watch, you didn't even learn combos. So this video was kind pointless. You played it like SF so no chance to actually enjoy this game
I played the PC version of this. I remember beating that mode where you fight the entire roster and they come streaming in one by one as long as there's space for them. You have to be really quick at beating every one of them with all manner of running grabs and OTGs.
One of my ALL TIME favs I'd played at the arcade and on my Sega Genesis. I slaughtered ops using Razor Ramon's 32 hit combo but was versatile in using Undertaker, Bret Hart, Sean Michael's, Bam Bam Bigalo, and Doink The Clown. Still have the game for my Genesis too 🎮
@@Imozart0341I Exactly!! Certainly put my thumbs to the test when I'd dedicate those late Friday night no homework session to this one game alone to master majority of the players combinations. Good times 😎🎮
All I remember about this game is picking Razor Ramone, learning one combo and the super combo from Tips & Tricks, and never struggling again...in Intercontinental. We stayed all the way away from Heavyweight.
I haven't seen that game in a long time, the animations still seem pretty good to me, it's also more dynamic than most games based on WWE. I've only played the Snes version but I think it wasn't so hard because you couldn't fight 3 characters at the same time.
Back back punch. Throw your opponents can't be blocked everytime. Forward forward pk then tap kick for tombstone. Combos are forward forward kick then tap to power kick and go around the controller. Undertaker has a 24 hit combo. One of my favorite games of all time.
Pro Wrestling is so cool is literally just anime irl. It can both be the best, the worst, it can be overly goofy or serious or it could be the coolest and most sincere/real thing ever.
Beating the World Wrestle Championship is so much funnier, than the Intercontinental Championship. It even ends on a Royal Rumble. You should try that, if I did that as a kid, many times, then you can do it too. BTW, the Arcade and 32X versions are the best ones.
I remember this game on the PlayStation having the fatalities removed... What the hell was Sony thinking! It was the most unnecessary censorship considering they had games like mortal Kombat 3 on the platform...
yo undertakers choke hold has a follow up , i think he can slam him to the ground , n btw undertaker has a finishing move were he brings out a casket n put u in it , this game deserves a re-make with more wrestlers for sure
Yokozuna always been agile when he 1st came into the WWE! Dude was a beast! I absolutely loved this game growing up and I can show you some stuff in this game!
@@netogermano4483 Shame the sequel, In Your House, wasn't as good. Especially because that game had Vader in it who is one of my all time favorite wrestlers, so I wanted it to be good.
This game is friggin bonkers! But my buddies and I had hours of fun with this ridiculous game as children. I would like to try it again after all these years. Still looks like ridiculous fun.
I'm actually pretty impressed that you got as far as you did without really knowing how to play. Once you learn combos, that can almost take a whole life bar.
Imagine if Justin played the WWF World Title arcade ladder, instead of the intercontinental. The last match you have to face the whole roster, 3 at a time with one health bar lol Ultimate rage fuel
Yeah the royal Rumble at the end of world title ladder is insanity.
Arcade owners must have loved the earnings on that one 🙂
P Remember this game this game is incredible one of the best wrestling games of all time in my opinion it is the best one that they ever did
That's why they made GameShark so you could see the endings haha
@@JackgarPrime Yes but not too bad if you know the moves and combos. The Console versions of the game are way more tolerable.
Wow, this is a super nostalgic callback for me. Spent tons of money on this game at a local pizza restaurant. Undertaker and Razor Ramon were my dudes.
Mine too!
Yokozuna was actually pretty agile in real life too.
I played this in the arcade. Bret was the easiest character to use as his moves after grabbing someone came out faster than the other characters.
Razor Ramon was god tier. Tie up d p p p then pile driver super strong
His tier is reflective of his in-ring skill. The best there is, was and ever will be.
Justin you gotta do a full run-through of this arcade mode the final fight is legit like the hardest in fighting game history
One of my favorite games of all time. WWE has really dropped the ball on bringing this back. The last "arcade style" WWE game was terrible. You can get some wildly long combos in this game.
All Stars is GOATed though
@@JackgarPrime Battlegrounds was horrible
@@DJKuroh Yeah I didn't like Battlegrounds very much.
Doink was my main, I loved the counter system.
RIP All-Stars though, an awesome Fighting Game + Wrestling Game blend
@@Chadius it was basically the closest to a Kinnikuman styled WWE piece of media

This video had me rolling! It brought back so many frustrating memories 😂😂😂… Razor Ramon was my dude in this game!
Man this game is a classic, great video Justin. Also, Yokozuna is definitely top tier.

Yo! Justin brought it back with this one. This, Tekken 1, Resident Evil 1, and Twisted Metal all day
I'd add Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver to that list but that's just me
Twisted metal ❤️ 🚗 🔥 🔫
RE2 m8
So glad Justin pulled it out. After all the SNK bosses he’s suffered through, if Wrestlemania was the game to do him in…
He didn't even fight the real mode, though. He only did IC title. If he did world title, he might never beat it. The last match is insanity.
@@JackgarPrime yes especially on the hardest difficulty
Razor Ramon, Bam Bam Bigelow, Yokozuna, & Doink the Clown are all dead now. That’s half of the playable characters.
Lex Luger isn't dead
@@johncarolina4950 oh that’s right. He’s a wheelchair bound murderer. My bad
There was another guy at the time this was out who was Doink (not Borne Again).
This game is legendary!! The memories all came flooding back watching this vid. Thank you! 💥🙏🏾
The super combos are sick in this game
The real Yokozuna was hella agile for his size.
Funny enough he wasn't Japanese or a sumo wrestler for that matter
@@KaitouKaiju and his manager wasn't Japanese either, and they didn't come from the same country to each other either :D
@@KaitouKaiju He was part of that wild samoan family
He was actually a OG Blood gang member…
Top tier commentary from Vince, in this game!
This and WWF: In your house were my freakin JAM as a youth.
They really had to make a ham fall out of Yokozuna? 🤣
This is great just recently subscribed and I’m absolutely loving the triple KO podcast. Really have gotten into fighting games recently and I think it’s the most unappreciated genre in gaming. Right now KoF XV is my preferred game and capcom fighting collection

Damn near busted a gut laughing at the double Goofy scream at 12:08, LMAO!
great video, Good chaos of a wrestling game. Love the AA song at the end. so good!
I played the hell out of the Genesis version as a kid. Once you get their special down (especially Doink's) you just run everyone over :P
Great game haven’t seen this in 20 years, please play more games like this
This game is like ARMS, it feels like some people were made to play it, but if you're outside that circle the struggle to get good at the game is real
This game needs needs to be remade with online play!
Now that would be fun

Justin this was my first game on PS1. I still remember all the death combos. Razor Ramon, undertaker and Shawn Michaels have the best combos
Man so many memories!
had the best score for years at the arcades on this game.
Broo fucking finally. I been asking for you to play this for almost a year. Thank you!
Actually, now that I watch, you didn't even learn combos. So this video was kind pointless. You played it like SF so no chance to actually enjoy this game
In all the years I played this game I never saw a time over to end a match
I gave fond memories of this game on the Sega Genesis back in the day!! Holy hell! Nice Mate!!
That was great. I was laughing hella hard bro. Thanks

Just hearing this on in the Arcade lutes smile on your face. I barely had a chance to play because because everyone but me had next.
Your a legend for this. I loved this game as a kid

Nice intercontinental belt, when is the run for the world championship belt though?
Next, WWF World Title.
9:23 "Nope. Nope"
~Justin Wong 2022™
It's the NBA Jams for Wrestling! 😂
I remember playing this when I was a kid, but I didn't think it was hard. I remember that some special moves require you to hold the run button
5:43 That's just it, Justin...
NOTHING IS SAFE
NO ONE IS SAFE
IN THE REALM OF WRESTLEMANIA ARCADE, NO ONE IS SAFE!!!!
I played the hell out of this back in the day haha. This was a good throwback 😁🙌
Well done man I love this game but it’s hard you killed it in the end though.
Finally a game I can solo J. Wong in 😅 28 hears later and I still remember how to do the moves/combos in this.
Back back punch. Throw your opponents can't be blocked everytime. Forward forward pk then tap kick for tombstone. Combos are forward forward kick then tap to power kick and go around the controller. Undertaker has a 24 hit combo. One of my favorite games of all time.
I love how whiff punish in this game is off the top rope
I love in the house and wrestle mania. The combos on there are crazy
Pro Wrestling is so cool is literally just anime irl. It can both be the best, the worst, it can be overly goofy or serious or it could be the coolest and most sincere/real thing ever.
2nd Wind in a way, is like the revive in Killer Instinct. I beat this with Razor Ramon in the 90's. I am enjoying this vid!
I wish someone told Justin how to do Undertaker's fatality in this game
Think I've never seen this game played, only from afar in some arcade. Fun video and good editing! (Why does the Undertaker throw cats as a fireball?)
another arcade ladder bites the dust, great video👏👏👍👍
That was the Bam Bam Bigalow Raging Demon 16 hit lol
One of our faves long time ago. Me and my brother used to play this in a coin slot machine, together with MK, etc.
Safest move is the tech roll with Brett Hart. But I got to play this again and check more of it out
*mouthful* "this is a great sandwich babe" 😄 Justin cracks me up
Undertaker is one of my favorite wrestlers as a kid

that is how Arcade games make money back in the good old days by setting the game to hardest difficult level to take your quarters
i wouldn't surprise if Matt McMuscles immediately asking Justin to appear at Flophouse Plays just for this game
The wrestling game where boink the clown was in it and you could do these wild combos was my favorite
This game was actually pretty fun. Not sure 1up has it, but wouldn’t mind having this cabin.

Vince: "What's that cheater up to?" 🤔
Wong: "I'm not the cheater bro..."
Me: LOL 😆
Yokozuna helped me won the World Champion run. He's so good at crowd control and power.
@0:48 you got uppercut like from mortal kombat!
Razor Ramon brutality is the sickest, man. I love this game 😂
mid to late 90s i used to play this heavy for the genesis, i always got love for this👍
*Justin Wong: The best there ever is, best there ever was, best there ever will be* 😎🎮
Got the arcade version. Can confirm the asswhupping you got to be accurate.
😂I haven't laughed this much in a very long time
Dude played this game back in Wal-Mart when they had arcades in the Game Center section. Watch out for the clown & Lex Lugar
Yokozuna always been agile when he 1st came into the WWE! Dude was a beast! I absolutely loved this game growing up and I can show you some stuff in this game!
Wong: "Why is this man so agile?" 🤨
Me: *Video Game Logic...* 🤷♂️
I did a lot of forward, forward, (insert face button here). You'd be surprised how many moves you can do with just that.
Love this game. But yeah, is really confusing the controls sometimes.
You basically had to have a strategy guide for the moves.
@@JackgarPrime pretty much yeah... I used game FAQs because i couldn't figure out some mechanics... But i really like this game.

That’s the thing about games back then complete Merciless. Justin was in the hyperbolic time chamber training 😂😂😂
Yeah back in the day the dmg was high like in ST to get your ass off the cabinet.
Liked before you started, this game was the GOAT!
