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 Fire Pro Wrestling series is awesome. I still play the PS2 release: Fire Pro Returns

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

No Mercy 64 and Wrestlemania 64 are still the 1 and 2 best games in regards to the gameplay and fun times for me.

The only wrastlin' game I ever bought was WCW/NWO revenge on my N64. That game was a ton of fun. When our friends get together for a game night, that always finds it's way in.

Almost every wrestling game on n64 was fun but wwf no mercy is the best wrestling game to this day

Wrestling games have been a sham since the move to PS3/360. The last good one was PS2 Smackdown v. Raw 2006. The GM mode let you compete endlessly setting up cards versus the other show to get the best ratings. You achieved the best ratings by setting up rivalries, big time matches, and pitting big name people against each other. You could bring in Legends, CAW's, and the current roster. Idk how this formula has not been streamlined let alone brought back.
