I am holding a fun little tournament locally and letting the community vote for game in each category. So far we did 3d fighter, platformer fighters and traditional 2d fighter. For the next category I’m thinking about doing wrestling style games and so far I can only think of Fire Pro Wrestling, Gang Beasts and WWE 2k. I can use some more suggestions here. The game should be playable on PS5, Xbox series or switch. I also have an Nvidia shield pro, I have never played anything on it, but I’m willing to try some emulation options if needed.
So IMO nothing has really ever topped the old Asmik Ace/AKI wrestling games from the N64 era. I played a ton of WCW/NWO Revence, and WWF No Mercy is still considered by a lot of people to be the best wrestling game ever made, and apparently still has an active modding scene.
AEW: fight forever is supposed to be like a throwback to the WWE games before 2k. I got it for the switch, and I enjoy it even though the graphics are abysmal.

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
godzilla destroy all monsters, any multiplayer godzilla is a blast
Added, thank you
gonna add Simpsons wrestling although wildly unbalanced
Oh man, I already started the poll. That’s a good pick, I used to love that game as a kid.

That is very true, and N64 emulator is easy enough to setup in the Shield
You could also check out Def Jam 2 for ps2. Lots of grappling and awesome moves.
Now this is a very interesting pick, I love it

Thank you so much! This and the other comment gives me enough games for votes
