The ladder match. Pyrotechnics. War Games. Hell in a Cell. The annals of wrestling history are laden with innovation and risk-taking. Many who pull off these new feats with skill are etched into the memory of wrestling fans for decades and become synonymous with the innovation. Many who try and fail are given no points for effort and are instead ridiculed until they fade away.

The same goes for wrestling video games. In anticipation of the upcoming WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2011, here are some of the greatest wrestling game innovations of all time.

The Wresting Empire games had a GM mode (actually it was a separate game) in which the gamer created and wrestled entire cards, with each match and the whole show rated. The goal was to move up in the TV standings, and earn money through attendance.

It would be something to see the main stream games adopt this type of mode.

I used to love the commentary for Giant Gram 2000 on the Dreamcast. I had no idea what they were saying, but they (and the game) were so over the top it was great!

CAW was the best thing added and announcing needs to be stepped up further. Cutscenes there okay but during matches there funky. Then again, taking out Cole would be an awesome option too
