**** by erikthe10man. Comment: "This was the first coin-op I can honestly say I mastered. I scored 383,200 points on this game before I flat out quit from exaustion (1986). Very fun early wrestling game - sequel was better." 2004-01-18 15:04:11Z

***** by odysea. Comment: " As a kid, my best friend and I must have spent every penny we could gather on this game. I loved it. Mania Challenge, (I believe was the sequel) was just as great. Perfect for its time. Where can I purchase the arcade version?" 2005-07-13 22:53:15Z
