Wrestleball is one of those weird, wonderful Sega Genesis mashups that shouldn’t work but totally does. You’ve got wrestlers—big, beefy dudes with neon tights—but instead of just slamming each other, they’re passing this glowing ball around like it’s some kind of futuristic rugby match. First time I played, I kept trying to suplex everyone (old habits), but turns out you score by dunking the ball into this floating hoop thing.

The controls are classic Genesis-era jank—button mashing gets you far, but there’s actually some strategy if you dig into the special moves. My guy had this spinning piledriver that worked great… unless someone intercepted the ball mid-animation, which happened a lot. Matches get chaotic fast, especially with two players. Soundtrack’s all crunchy synth beats that somehow make elbow-dropping a ball carrier feel epic.

It’s not polished, but that’s part of the charm. You’ll either love the sheer absurdity or bounce off hard after five minutes. I still fire it up when I want something loud, dumb, and distinctly ‘90s.
