Spoony has put up his review of The VCR WrestleMania Board Game and I just had to post a link here.
He does an outstanding job of explaining just why this is such a horrible, awful waste of a game put together by people who obviously do not care.
Oh well, at least the commercial for the game is pretty cool.
I know what I’m going to be watching in about 10-seconds…
Sad thing is I actually know someone who owns a copy of this boardgame. We played, like, one round back when he had a working VCR, and that was it. As far as I was concerned, that was enough.
I voted for “The Harbingers” instead (it was the only game on the list I’ve played) because I remember the Wrestlecrap induction for the WrestleMania game and how abysmally boring it was (the game, not the induction).
How about a repost of that induction, guys?
At 9:30, Spooty points out the misspelling of Don Muraco’s name. I thought he always went by “Magnificent” Muraco ever since the mid-1970s. (One San Francisco sports desk jockey was convinced they were two different wrestlers.)
And once again Spoony can’t take a good idea without ruining it, i.e. using the Iron Sheik to piss off all his own fans. Fucking die already you worthless hack.
I thought it was pretty funny, actually. I’m sure he’s gotten a lot of complaints about some of the lamer videos and lack of updates over the past year or so.
I still have that game! There was also an NFL VCR game that I have as well. I could be wrong, but the WWF also had a standard board game in the 80s as well called “Wrestling Superstars”.
I LOVED the Hogan bit. “The guy who weighs the least has to go back to the midcard, ’cause I don’t job to the little dudes.”
I still have this game, and voted for it, because I knew how bad it was. I don’t think he realized that most of the people who voted for it knew how abysmal it was. For a recent video, someone needs to tell the Ultimate Warrior that Ryan Reynolds is no longer playing the Highlander.
YES! FINALLY SPOONY HAS COME TO WRESTLECRAP!
So many jokes I could make, but instead…
Heh. Finally I find someone who hates “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan more than me…
Spoony reviewed the AWA VCR board game as well. Oh crap, I think I accidently gave Paul a Somebody Bought This or It Came From YouTube candidate
I think I put up the link to Spoony’s AWA game review at some point… Either that or it’s on the schedule. The AWA one is even crazier. heh.
Hah, I just linked that review below! I forgot that Paul put it up before.
Man these games used to be everywhere.
He also reviewed the Power Slam VCR game, for those who like their VCR wrestling games with a bit more Scott Hall pornstache.
