Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Tag Team Wrestling holds the distinction of being one of the earliest wrestling video games, originally released in arcades in 1983. The NES version, launched in 1986, was among the first third-party titles for the console in North America. Interestingly, the game's antagonist team, the Strong Bads, inspired the creation of the character Strong Bad in the popular Homestar Runner web series.
