Saturday Night Slam Masters

Saturday Night Slam Masters was a 1993 arcade game, which was also released on home consoles. It is the first of three games in the Slam Masters (Series).

Professional wrestling experienced a sudden increase in popularity during the early 1980's, where many professional wrestling organizations were started all over the world. A severe rivalry existed among the organizations.

In order to resolve this conflict, 8 organizations combined to form the Capcom Wrestling Association (CWA), led by Victor Ortega, the CWA’s first champion.

One day, Ortega suddenly vanished. He was considered to be the axis of the sport and his unexpected disappearance caused the CWA to enter an age of confusion and disorder. The BWA, a dark underground wrestling organization, chose to take advantage of this opportunity and began moving. With "Fighters of Muscle Bomber = Destiny" as the theme, the CWA chief executives decided to hold a world tour called the “Crash Carnival,” to decide the new king of the CWA.

The gong that determines the new “Master of Muscle Bomber” is sounded…

• Titanic Tim

The Scorpion is a masked wrestler whose true identity and personal history are shrouded in darkness.

He is the leader of the dark professional wrestling organization known as the BWA.

The Scorpion's moveset appears to have been based on Japanese wrestler Tiger Mask, although his American name and his mask could be a subtle reference to the infamous "Black Scorpion" gimmick in WCW. The Scorpion's mask also looks very similar to the mask of Mexican wrestler Tinieblas.
