The ealier days of WWE were the ones that were memorable, when there were some real superstars like the Ultimate Warrior, Hulk Hogan (before becoming the fun factor) and Bret ‘the Hitman’ Hart. The sport’s pretty much lost its charm now, and all the epic matches have been replaced by enough drama to fuel a soap opera and enough scantily clad babes to make you feel you’re at the Playboy Mansion.

Compared to the present show of WWF the game counterpart has achieved more fame and success..
Developed by Midway, WWF Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game was more a fast-paced two-player brawl than a real wrestling game. Grapple maneuvers were limited to basic throws, so you’d spend most of your time just punching your enemy to a pulp. In spite of this, the game managed to draw the beat ‘em up crowd because of its arcadish special moves and gorgeous visuals.

Although there were only eight playable characters, each one had rather unrealistic special moves - the toothpick-flinging Razor Ramon for instance, could turn his hand into a razor’s edge and whack his opponent with it (close shave, chico!), and his other move allowed him to pick his opponent up by the feet and flail him around like an old carpet.Although the game ran in 2D, this was one of the first wrestling games to use character sprites made of real images of the wrestlers they represented.
