The MSX port of the game was done by the infamous Micronet, who would later forge further ground in robot fighting with Heavy Nova and Blackhole Assault. They very much followed in the footsteps of Robo Wres, in that they have terrible controls and impossible AI.

Minor error early in the article. "So before the era of yearly WWE RAW vs. Smackdown releases" should be WWE Smackdown vs. Raw.

Apologies for the bump, but you're more likely to know the answer to this.
I've been led to believe there was a Sharp MZ version of this game, but the only evidence I can find is a dead auction and a super blurry photo which could have easily been mis-labeled.
I discovered yesterday that there's an MZ port of Champion Prowres Special, which is a Japanese PC version of an SG-1000 and MSX game, Champion Pro Wrestling. Champion Pro Wrestling being some sort of home port of Appoooh, which is the predecessor to this game. They're both Sega arcade wrestling games brought to the home by Micronet, and they're all really poorly documented.

The Sega Arcade History book confirms there is a FM7 version...but it's also missing the other ports (MSX, PC88, X1) so it's possible it could be missing the Sharp MZ one too.
Looks like there were several computer ports of Appoooh, which we missed - PC88, FM7, Sharp X1, and MZ-2500.

Robowres 2001 was likely released for the MZ-2500, it's included in a Japanese release list I have for the computer. I wouldn't expect it to be different compared to the other Japanese computers, though the machine seemed to have quite some potential (take a look at the Xevious port).
