Fire Pro Wrestling/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • And the Fandom Rejoiced: Fire Pro Wrestling Z was intended to be the last game of the series (hence the "Z"). However, the game was rather poorly received and was considered a rather weak ending to such a long-running series. Two years later, Spike announced Fire Pro Wrestling Returns and fans were now quite happy.
  • Ruined FOREVER: The fans' reaction for the new Xbox Live Arcade being in works, called just Fire Pro Wrestling... which is Spike's attempt at making a FPW game for the casual audience that discards everything the series had before, including 2D graphics and tons of useable characters (well, considering it's a future online title, there WILL be tons of characters, but definitely not a handful of wrestling federations). Everything except, dur, the wrestling itself.
  • Sequel Displacement: Returns for the many, many gamers overseas. Guess whom to thank.
  • Suspiciously Similar Song: Once the games started including entrance themes for the wrestlers, they simply used slightly altered versions of popular wrestlers' themes.
