Dr. Frank: A Review

WCW/nWo Revenge (Nintendo 64, 1998)

He's a Frankenstein

You're not pinning this dude for three seconds

You can drop Hogan on his head with this guy

What's not to love about a Frankenstein suplexing Hollywood Hulk Hogan onto a stop sign that's 10x larger than a real stop sign?

He's Jumbo Tsuruta in disguise

From rights issues to no one in the United States knowing who they were (except for extremely cool tape traders), it didn’t make sense to port over developer AKI’s roster from Japan-only Virtual Pro Wrestling 64 as is. So, Japanese legends like Toshiaki “Shogun” Kawada, Kenta “Executioner” Kobashi, and Jumbo “Dr. Frank” Tsuruta made it in this way!

We never got a Frankenstein in the Dungeon of Doom

We did get a Yeti, though!

7.9 / 10

Not the best of the weird roster characters, but certainly the one most likely to put on the Ritz.
