Liban Ali had the opportunity to speak with Senior Gameplay Designer on WWE 2K14, Bryan Williams on the latest game in the series. We look at the transition from THQ to 2K, new features and the possibilities with next gen.
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).
Starman was awesome. I also remember a tan dude with bright yellow hair. Good times!
Virtual Pro Wrestling 1 & 2 > Most games on that list.
Also, WCW/NWO Revenge should be #2 minimum.

Some of you may know that the latest instalment in the WWE gaming franchise 2K20 was released late last year to generally poor reviews. Some of this was based on graphical issues, but mostly it was due to the many glitches and bugs found – many of which are hilarious to witness.
Fire Pro needs more love. The last PS4 title gets regular playtime from me.
I hear that there are financial troubles at the studio, but I'm hopeful for a Switch port one of these days.
I have Fire Pro for PS4 and PC but it seems more of like a Sim creator rather than people actually playing out matches. I still dont like anything as much as the N64 games
Golden Era of wrestling games in the Golden Era of wrestling. I've been contemplating going back and getting a N64 and getting those classic's
WWF Wrestlemania 2000
WWF No Mercy
WCW vs. nWo Revenge
Yes, the WWE ones at least. The last good one was 2K14 and the last great one was Here Comes the Pain.
There's been so many great wrestling games throughout the years. But this list of the 10 best wrestling games of all time will crown one true champion.
**** you guys, I bought the PSN version and it didn't have the Online Pass with it. Online is laggy as ****! Payed $69.99 for this game mildly upset.
Keep the current history modes along with the create a character and get rid of everything else and redo the damn game. The lack of match variety is incredible. High hopes for WWE 2k15 next-gen.
Hell, just do Wrestling Empire (PC game) with current graphics. Let us walk to the ring and interact with the crowd, let us attack someone during promos, let us start as a nobody before becoming a somebody. Wrestling has unlimited possibilities, so why are the games so limiting?
