Video Review

Affordable and addictive fun.

Tons of locations, Match types, Wrestlers, Wrestling personalities, and Wrestling Moves.

Can tell it's made by guys that know and love the sport.

Really nails that Retro feel.

Ten pounds of Gold really steals the show.

Story Mode falls a little short.

Needs a few more things like create a Wrestler and venue, More match types, Female wrestlers and personalities, affordable DLC or free, and Online matches to really stick around.

Overall Impression

There hasn't been a game in a long time that really captures the feel of old school Retro video game wrestling. It really took me back to Wrestlefest and Pro Wrestling. Yes it feels incomplete and generic at times, but most of the time you are just having to much fun to notice. Hopefully it does well enough for them to invest more time and monety into this. It's really GOOD right now, but with a little more it could be one of the greats. It's already in my opinion one of the best wrestling games in over a decade.
