About This Machine

Wrestlemania (Pro), released by Stern Pinball in January 2015, brought WWE's wrestling franchise to the pinball floor with a design by John Trudeau and Waison Cheng. Along with its Limited Edition counterpart, Legends of WrestleMania, this was the first coin-operated pinball machine to use Stern's new SPIKE™ electronics system, following its earlier use in two coinless "home use" games.

One of the standout features of Wrestlemania (Pro) is its intricate playfield design, which includes two flippers, three pop bumpers, four slingshots, ten stand-up targets, a 3-bank drop target, and a vertical up-kicker. The machine's upper playfield boasts a mini "wrestling ring" with two flipper-button activated slingshots, dubbed the "Slammerkickers," adding an extra layer of complexity to gameplay. Players can also take advantage of the plunger skill shot for bonus points.

The game's wrestling theme is brought to life through cabinet art, a translite (rather than a traditional backglass), and speech elements. Kevin O'Connor handled the playfield art, while WWE staff artists produced the translite and cabinet art, and the wrestling theme songs were individually licensed. The black powder-coated side rails, lockdown bar, backbox hinge, and legs give Wrestlemania (Pro) a distinct look among Stern's lineup.
