Superstar Pro Wrestling is a wrestling game for the Famicom featuring a number of Japanese and North American wrestlers active in Japan at the time. The game is distinct for having multiple camera angles depending on where the wrestlers are in relation to the ring: there's an isometric view when the two combatants are outside of the ring and near one of the corners, for instance. Players choose four finishers from a menu before each bout, binding them to one of the four D-pad directions where they can be used whenever the opponent is briefly stunned. A finisher's strength is determined by a rapidly sliding scale that the player ideally hits when it is close to full.

The game was localized in North America as WCW: World Championship Wrestling and the wrestlers replaced with twelve then-active stars of the WCW circuit. In addition, there is also a gigantic final boss known as "The WCW Master".

WCW: World Championship Wrestling features the following 12 selectable WCW wrestlers:

Ric Flair
Lex Luger
Mike Rotunda
Kevin Sullivan
Sting
Ricky Steamboat
Hawk
Animal
Steve Williams
Eddie Gilbert

Sting is a retired professional wrestler who has worked for both World Championship Wrestling, Total Nonstop Action, and WWE. During his career he has been a World Champion, famously feuding with "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan and the nWo during the late 1990's. While he originally wore bright face paint and featured bright blond hair during the first half of his career, when his feud with Hogan began he changed his appearance to the long black hair and black-and-white face paint that is familiar with wrestling fans today.
