Quoted from Guinnesstime:I have to admit, this is really cool. I really haven't watched wrestling in 25 years, but I remember riding my bike through the snow as a teenager to a local computer store to buy Micro League Wrestling for my Commodore 64.
I think you could be Hulk, Macho Man, Paul Orndorff. This brings back memories.Screen Shot 2015-01-13 at 10.38.... 847 KB
You just reminded me of something long ago. I need to find a power cord and take a screen pic.

Quoted from markmon:The pictures are so bad you cannot see the third flipper anywhere.
try this picture, but I have no idea what to shoot for with that 3th flipper :-/

"Combos" according to the matrix!

Far left at the beginning of left orbit above big show plastic.
Quoted from TigerLaw:TWD and STLE. Mustang didn't even get the mirrored translight...no mirroring effect at all. The mirrored translight is not as good as a real back glass. Not even close.
What the farq? I didn't even know STLE was a translite... and I've seen it in person. I guess I didn't look that close..bummer!
I've played the game and it's fun to play. Code was way early. Had good flow, definitely not your typical fan layout. Wrestling ring was cool. Feels like TZ in the ring. Inner loop is like the inner loop on black knight 2000.

Looks to be either the "WWE" drop targets or the signature move stand up targets.

You played the pro or LE? What did the rest of the LE artwork look like on the cab? What wrestlers were selectable in the game?
Quoted from markmon:Even in that good photo j still can't see an added flipper. If it's that black silhouette with white surrounding it, that is also in the pro photos so I assume it's just part of the artwork.
Look at the big show on the left. It's slightly above and to right of him

Looks like the inserts are a bit different too.
Quoted from BrewersArcade:All those who hated on this machine...eat your humble pie. That LE is amazing. When they push these machines during Wrestlemania in March it will make some big sales numbers. Wonder if a premium will be released
To give credit most said they would like it if Stern did exactly what they did; change the theme a bit to older popular WWF wrestlers. Good move IMO. Maybe there will be good deals on these LEs a few years down the road. It looks fun.
Quoted from inhomearcades:I disagree, most people did not even notice it until they came on pinside and saw some people complain about it.
TWDLE and XMenLE are side by side in my collection. You can tell the difference between the mirrored backglass and mirrored translight immediately. The real mirrored backglass looks way better.
Quoted from Gnatty:Hopefully they put some Mylar down in the area the ball gets knocked off from that arm
I'm super curious to see it in action, it looks like you'd just knock it off the ramp and SDTM. 
Quoted from Code_Blue:Daniel Bryan and Cena shouldn't be on the LE, they should've had more period-accurate championship belts for LE
Cena should be, he's been on the top for a long time. It does seem like something that could easily be modded though (the plastics that is).
Agree on the period accurate belts.
Table looks great though. Love the look of the LE.
The LE is gorgeous. Very hard for me to decide now cause it looks like a very unique layout. If code is done properly and handle with love it has a lot of potential. Can only afford 1 pin this year....hummmm decision decision.

Thanks for bringing back those memories. I forgot all about that until I saw that screenshot. Look at that list of moves. Good luck finding a wrestler who will do a snapmare or even an axhandle today.
I dunno..I'm sorta warming to it. Theme was never going to get me, but it does look interesting. The LE actually looks pretty cool.
downtown Aus went up in price - $7850 for a pro, $11250 for a LE, looks like sales will start to drop away in Aus.
Quoted from RDReynolds:Those 400 will be gone very quick.
Doubtful
Quoted from jeffgoldstein2:Doubtful
i think he is talking wrestling fanatics will buy as well as pinball collectors.
Quoted from Jackontherocks:Way to screw over my favorite wrestler from back in the day, Bret The Hitman Hart! Too bad he is not in the game,,curious to know why?
Have we seen the other side artwork? He may be on the other side?
I'm all for a Montreal Screw Job wizard mode. It would be freaking awesome if they did that.
Quoted from pascal-pinball:I think the pro is as good as the LE
I don't like the spinning disc...
lights are the same...
Legion of Doom instead of the Bella Twins is worth extra 3k!! Can't wait for the LE. WOW!
