The Hard Knockin'
Rockin' Wrestling Arena sold for about $11.00.
These rings were very entertaining, and could provide
you with hours of fun. This toy came with two M.U.S.C.L.E.'s exclusive
to this packaging (pictured above) You started out
by placing your wrestler in between two prongs. You would then fight
against your opponent on the opposite side of the ring using a joystick
to control your wrestler. The object was to see who could knock their
opponent to the mat first. My son and I have had many exciting
step ladder tournaments with this toy.

There were some drawbacks to the ring however. Not
every figure could fit in between the prong's used to hold them in
place. The grey prong's you see in the picture above are from a
prototype. To the left is a picture of what they really looked
like. The cheap plastic that these prongs were cast from would
eventually break from wear. The ones on the packaging above actually
look like they're more forgiving, and would probably accommodate a
broader range of figures.
One sure way to increase your chances of beating your
opponent, was to pick a figure whose torso would fit tightly in between
the prongs. I won many matches using this method, but also broke a few
prongs along the way.
