WCW: The Main Event (1994) appeared on handhelds like the Game Boy, offering a pared-down take on WCW action. Featuring a small roster of stars such as Sting and Ric Flair, it leaned into simple mechanics suited to portable play. Strikes, grapples, and pin attempts formed the core loop, with quick match pacing for short sessions.
Visuals were basic but serviceable, with character sprites identifiable despite hardware limits. While depth was minimal, it delivered accessibility and familiarity for WCW fans on the go. Difficulty scaling and short match times made it easy to pick up for casual players.
Though far from groundbreaking, The Main Event represents WCW’s push into handheld gaming. It served as a pocket companion for fans wanting a taste of their favorite wrestlers beyond TV screens.
