I'd say either the WCW Vs. NWO Revenge on the N64 or the 2 WWE games (WWE Wrestlemania 2000 & WWE No Mercy) Honorable mention, WCW Vs NWO World Tour in 1997 THE GAME THAT CHANGED IT ALL!!
Wrestle mania 2000 and No Mercy on the N64, I loved those 2. But honestly My favorite game of all time Is Royal Rumble on the SNES. That game kicked ass. And still does. These modern games don't do it for me. Sure they got flashy graphics and some other updated stuff....they are just no fun.
EDIT: As someone previously mentnioned the N64 WcW games were the S*** too. Honestly wrestling games are pretty much the only thing I played on the N64 its whole life span lol.
The Wrestling Game is free browser-based strategic/managerial wrestling simulator. You enter the game as a rising wrestler who needs to take trainings, learn skills and moves and become a household name in the field of wrestling sports. -mmohunter-
In real time, as in when it came out, probably Shut Your Mouth or HCTP. Over time, probably SYM or No Mercy. I never played No Mercy when it came out, but I got it a few years ago, and after figuring out the controls, I learned to really love it. Right now I am enjoying WWE 13. If the game didn't have soooo many glitches and problems then it would be #1, but the glitches are a serious issue right now.
I must say... I never liked the Raw vs Smackdown, or WWE 12, 13 games... The most current wrestling game that I really liked the most was WWE Day of Reckoning 2, which is an awesome wrestling game. Also TNA iMPACT! was fun even though it was lackluster, but it was their first game so it was great for the first, especially 2 - 4 player X matches.
I played most of the PS2 wrestling games (and a few on the PS1), and the above had the most content to keep me interested. I'm not a big fan of sports or fighting games.
For me, it has to be the old school WWF Royal Rumble game of the early 90's. A screenshot is in my sig. I have played many of the newer games, which comparatively have like 1000% more features (including the WWE 13 edition). For me, this was one of the first wrestling games I ever played, and it's simple button layout, multiple wrestlers in one ring possibility, and it's association with my favourite wrestling ppv, all make this one my fave of all time.
Man, lots of people saying 2000 wrestling games. For me it would have to be the 90s, thats when wrestling in general, was at its finest, and if u grew up in that era, know what I m talking about. Ne who, for me I got 3 favorite wrestling games. WWF Warzone, surprising no1 even mention this one. WCW vs NWO World Tour HANDS DOWN WWF Royal Rumble
Definitely WWF No Mercy or Virtual Pro Wrestling 2. Nothing beats that AKI grappling engine. Really wish these modern WWE games would get up on that. I'm just not a fan of Yukes at all.
WWE 12. The tweaks they made with WWE Universe mode made it the most entertaining game in my opinion. In terms of time played, that's probably my top one in terms of wrestling games. Spent hours upon hours making my own custom storylines.

WWE 13, tweaked on it as well and added more. But we have WWE 12 for pushing it in the major direction that it did.Â
Â
And yeah, Smackdown vs Raw 2011 played a bigger role in the WWE Universe mode, But i couldn't stand the controls compared to WWE 12.Â
WWE Smackdown Here Comes the Pain is my favorite game. Awesome career mode, up to 6 human-controlled players, solid CAW system, and a deep roster. One of my go to party games along with Super Smash Brothers Melee.
This is a tough one, which all the old school wrestling games, were way better than todays crappy wrestling games. My fav. top 3 is WWF Attitude, Smackdown, WCW vs NWO World Tour, which was one the best on N64 and ahead of its time. At end of the day love them ALL (old school).
WCW vs NWO Revenge for N64 was my favorite. I really liked how each wrestler had I think it was 3 or 4 different outfits you could basically make, but people got creative and edited them to create other wrestlers, especially from the WWF. Made the game a little more fun.Â
