    I sort of think that song that sounds like Michael Jackson sounds like one of the songs from Captain EO

    Also dumb trivia: Tag Team Wrestling is where the Homestar Runner people got Strong Bad's name. The other team is called The Strong Bads.

    Surprisingly good songs on wrestling games!

      Figured out after the recording that it was Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough. But then, listening to the actual song, it only kind of sounds like it.

      Thought after I posted that comment that it may be Wanna Be Startin Something from Thriller.

      I'm embarrassingly into Michael Jackson :-/

    I'm pretty sure that the music stops suddenly in Wrestlemania Challenge so that the opponent's music can play, but I could be wrong.

    That Tag Team wrestling track needs to be tuned. Very sour, even for someone who enjoys slightly out of tune stuff.

    I was kinda surprised not to hear the main ("in the ring") theme from Pro Wrestling on the NES. It's basic, but it's iconic! Otherwise, good show as always!

    Making my way through the Legacy catalogue, once again.
    Just wanted to say, that Shin Nippon soundtrack makes you feel so good.
    A couple hits on there.
