"When you read the words “Don’t try this at home” almost everyone has. That is the nature of a WWE fan, you see the Crippler Crossface and you want to test it out on your mate, or you successfully attempt to perform a light hearted 3D into a swimming pool. All Stars though won’t allow this, well not to any degree of accuracy. The scenes are over-the-top, the moves are vicious yet comical and wonderful in their appearance and the wrestlers would be considered grotesque if seen in the real world. Attempting to break out of the shackles of the somewhat slower paced Smackdown vs Raw, THQ has certainly produced a valiant attempt to break into the arcade fighter market."
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).
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.
WWE 2k13 thanks to the WWE Attitude Mode. Followed by WWE Attitude and ECW Hardcore Evolution.
also: ECW! ECW! ECW!
