Wrestle War is a video game published and developed by Sega which was released in the arcades in 1989, and for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis console in 1991 (in Japan, Australia, and Europe only). Despite being released the same year as the National Wrestling Alliance/World Championship Wrestling's WrestleWar pay-per-view, it is not associated with any wrestling promotion. The original Japanese game cover featured a Hulk Hogan look-alike. It was changed for the European and US releases for royalties reasons. It did not change the wrestlers faces though, which still are similar to those of real wrestling stars of the time.
