>>> TRIVIA
----------
Released in March 1993. 3 Count Bout was developed by UPL for SNK and this is the last game made by this manufacturer.
This game is known in Japan as 'Fire Suplex'.
3 Count Bout is the only 'true' wrestling game for the SNK MVS Neo-Geo hardware but not the first. This honor goes to 'King of The Monsters' (with giant monsters anyway!) :)
Blues Hablam and Blubber Man are actually the same guy with the same ring attire, only Hablam sports a mask. The same occurs for Gochack Bigbomb and Big Bomberdir with Bigbomb wearing the mask.
The character Master Barnes enters the ring wearing Shoulder Spikes similar to the ones worn by legendary wrestling tag-team The Road Warriors.
