About

Wrestlerage was an unreleased, side-view beat-’em-up-style wrestling game in development by Rare for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System around 1991. Set apart from their prior WWF-licensed ring-based titles, it envisioned eight original brawlers fighting across dynamic urban backdrops—streets, parks, fairgrounds—rather than confined arenas . Gameplay would have featured grapples, dropkicks, pins, and environmental attacks, such as bouncing opponents off street scenery or even drowning them in a pool level that utilized SNES transparency tech.
