The Ready 2 Rumble games were hardly the most serious in the world, featuring a range of ridiculous caricatures battling to become the best pugilist in the world. In fact, it played more like a standard beat-em-up than a technical boxing game and it was a hell of a lot of fun because of it. That still doesn't mean that inclusion of Michael Jackson as a secret character in the sequel was any less of a WTF moment. Jackson had already appeared in Space Channel 5 at this point, though that was a game based around dancing and so the cameo made some sense. Nobody ever had Jackson pegged as a boxer though, which makes it rather weird to go through the entire career mode with him. Of course, this is a game that also featured the Clintons as boxers, so perhaps it was to be expected.
