In 1994, Technos (best known for the Arcade classics WWF Superstars and WWF Wrestlefest) decided to step into the squared circle
with "Funaki Masakatsu Hybrid Wrestler Tougi Denshou".

Following a popular trend in Puroresu games during the time, Hybrid Wrestler features the official likeness of Pancrase great Masakatsu Funaki along with a roster of familiar Pro-Wrestling legends; all under different, copyright-friendly aliases.

While not as refined as the Fire Pro Wrestling series, Hybrid Wrestler still includes multiple arenas (with their own unique hazards), a create-a-wrestler feature and a career mode that allows the player to invade promotions, adjust their attire after every match, customize moves, and even get married and have a son (who will allow follow in the player's footsteps)!
