A late WWF built around the King of the Ring tournament. Stars present, readable grapples, decent AI. A solid NES wrestler without revolution, fun across four players.

Collector interest

The American version of WWF King of the Ring uses the same 1993 LJN license but with broader NTSC distribution, making it the reference edition for North American fans of golden-age wrestling. The collecting angle here rests on nostalgia for the early 1990s WWF roster and on its late-release status, arriving just before 16-bit hardware eclipsed the NES, rather than on outright scarcity.
