I printed a sheet off someplace like gamespot, but none of the moves seem to work. Can someone tell me what they are?

I have the SNES version and I know you can only do them when your opponents health is completely drained.
Gotta get your opponents health into the red, and for most wrestlers grapple and press a certain button until your side of the grapple meter fills up and then BAM!, finisher. For Genesis Royal Rumble & RAW I forgot what button, think it was X or Z. Some wrestler's finishers aren't grapple, and require you to either stand at a distance and press that button (Duggan), get your opponent on the ground and press that button (Bret & Owen) and get your opponent on the ground, climb the turnbuckle and press that button (Savage).
Sometimes even when they're in the red the grapple finishers don't always work. To work on timing and practicing in general sometimes I use a rapidfire controller so all I have to do is hold "z" to get the finisher.
I do know that moves by the Undertaker and Razor Ramone are easier on the 6 button controller.
Yeah, definitely MUCH easier. I think that's what makes Super Wrestlemania hated and forgotten is how you can't use the 6-Button controller.
Papa Shango Shoulderbreaker
Razor Ramon Razor's Edge
Undertaker Tombstone Piledriver
Stand Behind Dazed Opponent And Press AB (Z if using 6 button)

Stand next to the ropes, with the opponent between you and the ropes, and keep pressing A+B (Z) until the meter becomes full.

"Super Wrestlemania" came out quite a while before the 6-Button controller was introduced. Not just that, but the game was a turd PERIOD, especially on Genesis (despite that version having finishers, which you can spam at any time in the match and which take off little health). It bombed so badly and so many copies were overproduced that WWF was actually giving them away for free to those who ordered Wrestlemania 8 & 9 back in 1992-1993!!!
It's just straight up unplayable.
I believe I told a horror story to Sega-16 of how back in 1996, some douchebag friend of my cousin's tried to steal my then-new "Mortal Kombat 3" cart by peeling its already flimsy label off and placing it on his "WWF Super Wrestlemania" cart (whose label he also peeled off). Long story short, I took that cart home (we were at his place) thinking it was my MKIII, and when we got to my cousin's and I wanted to play MKIII, I plugged in the cart into his Genny and instead of getting a "MK3" logo..............I got a piss-poor render of Hulk fuckin' Hogan ripping his shirt up. We immediately hauled ass back to the guy's house, my cousin chewed him out and he gave me back my MK3 cart (whose label was never able to hold to the cart again, so I eventually threw it away).
Some 12-13 years later, I still get mad at how I was made to look like a chump and almost had a cart that my pops paid 70 hard-earned dollars for get stolen. I don't think I've ever seen the guy again, but my cousin and his friends still remember him.
Since then, I've had a disdain for the Genesis Super Wrestlemania, which was further reinforced when I actually played it years later on emulator. I did however, eventually get the SNES version, which played slightly smoother, looked and sounded a whole lot better yet all in all SW was a turd.
How's the Genesis Royal Rumble compare to SNES Raw? I realize Royal Rumble is an earlier game, but I own RAW on the SNES, got it for nothing and hoped it would be as fun as I remember Royal Rumble on the Genesis. It's not, it's slow. Is that a SNES thing or do you think RR on the Genesis will be just as lame today to me?
Ok, I found Royal Rumble locally for 50 cents today. I did a comparison with it against the SNES RAW. In RAW the characters look bigger and more colorful, but they aren't as sharp as in the Genesis. The Genesis is also slighty quicker.
The games haven't stood the test of time well. VERY limited moveset and tiresome, shallow gameplay. Wrestling video games were one of the genres that benefited the most in the jump to 3D, as shown with AKI's N64 wrestling games.
But every character has the same damn moveset apart from finishers!
I much prefer "Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game". It's over-the-top, but it has VARIETY dammit.
That's true. When the Arcade Game came out I remember in my circle of friends it didn't go over as well as Royal Rumble. Maybe we had grown out of the Wrestling phase. I think that same moveset apart from the finishers is what made Royal Rumble so cool to us all in the first place. When you finally pulled it off it was quite an achievement.
Oddly/sadly enough, there hasn't been a decent that that's captured that much attention since No Mercy, and that was almost NINE years ago. There's games out today, but they're always plauged with at least one major problem and I can't play any of the newer games for over a half-hour before quitting out of sheer unmotivation. I'll still play No Mercy for hours at times just to practice.
No Mercy and WCW/NWO Revenge are IMO the best American prowrestling games ever.
And geez was I a fan of wrestling games..Wrestlefest, WWF: Superstars, Super Wrestlemania, Royal Rumble, Raw, Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game, WWF: In Your House, Rage In The Cage etc. All great memories.
Legends of WrestleMania, while not exact, reminds me a lot of WrestleFest.
