Get rid of Jade Cargill and add in Julia Hart goddamnit. She could be AEW's Rhea Ripley if they give her regular TV time and develop her correctly.

The early days of 1989 offered a veritable cornucopia of delights for kids who wanted to watch sports on TV and then play those sports (on TV). For a certain value of sports, that is. I think most people would be hard-pressed to call the scripted, choreographed hijinks of professional wrestling a "sport" per se, though no one would contest the athleticism involved. But really, pro wrestling has always been about the personalities and characters involved, and WWF Wrestlemania brought the big sweaty dudes whose slapped, grappled, and pinned one another on TV every weekend into console game form for the first time, rendering the six biggest stars of pro wrestling in recognizable pixel form. Is it a masterpiece of a video game, to be canonized in the same hallowed league as the likes of Aki and Human's hits? Well, no, but thanks to developer Rare's involvement, it looks and sounds pretty great. Like pro wrestling, it may not have been true sport, but it certainly offered spectacle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q Why is it called TEW IX and not TEW2024?

A We've decided to make this change to the naming scheme because having a year in the title is generally used to denote an annual release. As there are several years between modern TEW releases, we felt a switch to numbers would be more appropriate going forward.

Q What will the licensing situation be?

A The game will be under the QLM license system that Grey Dog Software has been using for the past couple of years. As those who have used it will know, this is a much easier to use and more convenient system than the old Elicense system that was used in the past.

Q Will I be able to continue my TEW2020 save games?

A No, as they are two separate products. As usual, a converter is provided so that TEW2020 databases can be converted to work with TEW IX.

Q What new features and changes will there be?

A The Developer's Journal starts today and will be used to reveal new features and changes. There will be at least one entry every weekday between now and the game's release. As usual, a lot of the changes come directly from posts that people have made in the Suggestions forum over the past four years.

Q Is this an entirely new game?

A TEW IX uses the same base as TEW2020, so you'll recognise the general layout and concepts - this is because there's no sense in "reinventing the wheel" when we already have a very popular, stable basis to work off. The new features and changes are applied on top of that foundation to enhance and expand the game.

Q Will there be a Mac version?

A No. Grey Dog Software only produces Windows-based games.

Q Will I meet the minimum requirements?

A Although TEW IX is significantly bigger than TEW2020, if your computer is able to play the latter, you will definitely be able to play the new game too.

Q What times will the release be?

A To avoid a large spike in traffic and the problems that causes, we will not be announcing an exact time for release. It will, however, be handled by Grey Dog Software and so be on US time.

The history of one of the greatest franchises in wrestling video game history. I have combined all my previous fire Pro videos along with some extra bits of information, commercials and even an update on future fire Pro video games. I have even included a 1994 Japanese Hulk Hogan here condition your commercial just because it's so goofy.
