Super Fire Pro Wrestling Special was released in 1994 as part of the Fire Pro Wrestling series.
This is the second game ever created with contribution from Goichi Suda. Its controversial ending, which consisted of the main character killing himself after the realization that he was only wrestling to fight off depression, was also evident of Suda's unique approach to video game design and heavy storytelling. Wrestlers from the game are based on popular wrestlers from the WWF in addition to the WCW and several puroesu organizations. The game was only released in Japan on the Super Famicom system.

“And where two raging fires meet together;
They do consume the thing that feeds their fury.
Though little fire grows great with little wind,
Yet extreme gusts will blow out fire and all.”

“The experience and behaviour that gets labelled schizophrenic is a special strategy that a person invents in order to live in an unlivable situation.”
