From Rumble Roses to WWE All Stars, there have been a number of greats over the years.
What classic WWF/WWE wrestling games are worth playing now? Quite a few, actually.
WCW/NWO World Tour and Wrestlemania 2000 were peak wrestling games. Back when wrestling was at the top of pop culture, everyone in school would watch. The gameplay is phenomenal and create your own characters opened up the door to WCW vs WWF. What a time!
The best wrestling games range from all-time classics on the N64 all the way up to some surprising new hitters you should check out.
I was always partial to the arcade wrestling games like Saturday night slam masters, wwf superstars, wrestlefest, wrestlemania, wrestle war and then a NES classic... pro wrestling. By the time the N64 era of wrestling games happened, I wasnt into wrestling much anymore (tv & games).
Virtual Pro Wrestling 1 & 2 > Most games on that list.
Also, WCW/NWO Revenge should be #2 minimum.
WWE 2k13 thanks to the WWE Attitude Mode. Followed by WWE Attitude and ECW Hardcore Evolution.
also: ECW! ECW! ECW!

On the surface this release from Konami appeared to be just another one of ‘those’ games, but hiding beneath the scantily clad ladies was a surprisingly competent wrestling game."
Cant remember all the details lol, but overall the controls of your character and gameplay were spot on, and yes the characters look pretty nice ;) , not sure if a game like this can be release today with current gen visuals cause all the delicaly in feelings some demographic has.
Really wish more Rumble Roses games would be made. There's been tons of 2D fighting Dead or Alive type or similar 2D fighting games (many on PC for obvious reasons) but not in the wrestling genre of all things..I mean you'd think there would at least be one more by now at any form since the wrestling genre is just perfect for this style of game.
I remember this game. That and DOA4. Those were the guys used to talk about and play when parents werent around. Good times.
Where's these?
New Japan Pro Wrestling
Fire Pro G
Giant Gram
Pro wrestling.....nes
No Mercy - N64
Nintendo 64 had THE best wrestling games in my opinion.
