The Main Event (4 Players ver. Y)
Konami • 1988
Also known as: Ring no Ohja


Konami’s The Main Event debuted in arcades in 1988 and delivers a four-player wrestling experience. Players select from a roster of wrestlers to compete in matches against opponents, utilizing various grappling moves and striking techniques. Unlike the original Japanese release, this export version removes the pre-determined team composition found in single-player mode, offering more flexibility in character selection across all players. The game allows for simultaneous action with up to four participants, enabling dynamic tag-team scenarios or free-for-all brawls. Matches unfold on a side-view wrestling ring, and players must strategically manage their wrestlers' stamina while attempting to pin opponents or force submission. The Main Event provides a straightforward yet engaging wrestling game for groups looking for competitive arcade action. This version is an export of the Japanese title Ring no Ohja, and represents one variation within Konami’s GX799 hardware platform.
