Worst Wrestling game of all time?

A lot of bad wrestling games missing from that list. All of the WWF NES games were horrible. Battle Royale for TGX16. MUSCLE for NES. The Backyard Wrestling games. The ECW games. Simpsons Wrestling. Wrestlemania Arcade and In Your House. Pro Wrestling for Sega Master. WCW Nitro and Thunder.

Backstage assault. How you gonna have a wrestling with no ring??

One thing I can say about Attitude was that the commentary was amazing. Probably better than any game still to this day.

I'm with you on WrestleMania 21. I actually enjoyed the gameplay and the story mode was like a better, more expanded version of the Day of Reckoning story mode. I think a lot of people hated that game because it felt "incomplete", and if I'm not mistaken, I believe you had to download a patch on like the day of its release just to even be able to play it.

The glitches in Showdown were crazy! The funniest one I ever saw was Rick Rude stuck in a bent over position, the game spazed out and somehow he won! Showdown was a game that was in no condition to be released, but as Akklaim were bleeding money at that point and were desperate for the income, they had no choice, but to release it when they did in a last ditch attempt to save themselves, which as we all know did not work.


For me though the worst is Backstage Assault. Look I can get round the idea about having it all set backstage and there being no ring. But the game is a ing mess. Horrible collision detection, weird camera views, some of the worst character models I have ever seen and levels that look like they were made in MS paint!

This list has a severe lack of Nitro/Thunder. Those games were terrible. If I'm picking from the list, any of the acclaim games

Backyard Wrestling wasn't brilliant...

I did very much enjoy the Acclaim ECW and WWF games though I hated that in the ECW games, you had to play on hard difficulty to unlock anything, not only that, you had to wrestle through so many 3 way dance and tag team matches to progress through the game so I just found it too difficult as a kid and lost out on the extra content in those games, still, I played the hell out of those games. Still remember the jobbers in ECW being Ron Buffone and a guy named 'Arms Master'

I never really enjoyed or got to grips with the TNA games for the PS3, saying that I didn't give it much time.

I did enjoy Legends of Wrestling 1 despite it not being as playable as the WWE games around at the time. I liked the territory system and most of all, the roster. Shame the wrestlers were a bit too cartoony.

I didn't like WCW SuperBrawl on the SNES, just felt too clunky and awkward to do moves where as the WWF games were so much fun to play.

the SVR that when you went outside the ring the camera changed you could hardly see shit. svr2006 i think

wrestlemania the arcade game. Hated the format. For an arcade game it would have been cool but no reason for it to be on console. Especially trying to follow up Royal Rumble & Rage in a Cage which were great.

Nitro and Thunder, for sure. The rants were cool, but once you actually got into the game, horrendous. I went right back to playing Power Move Pro Wrestling.
