How certain is it that this game was really developed by Sanritsu? Is the listing on the Japanese Developer Table, as quoted on GDRI the only source for this?
I'm asking because Sanritsu isn't listed as the developer in Enterbrain's Sega Arcade History, while others like Bank Panik, Dump Matsumoto and Combat Hawk are. Not that the book is without fault, but the missing credit makes it worth second-guessing. The game also runs on the same hardware as Robo Wres 2001, which hasn't been connected to Sanritsu in any way (once again, no solid proof, but reason for doubt).
This game has also been ported to the range of Japanese 8-bit computers (PC-88, FM-7, X1 and MZ-2500), with the changed title Champion Prowres Special. I don't know if that's also enough of a connection to lump in the SG-1000 based Champion Pro Wrestling in the same article.

A lot of the Sanritsu games from that timeframe use similar hardware and have a similar look. I've never been convinced they did Dump Matsumoto. They were working on a Famicom version. I know three of the people that worked on Robo Wres worked at Sanritsu.
