Just started getting into Returns a few weeks back (had no idea about the new one coming out) and I'll have to say it's the best wrestling game I've ever played. Of course being able to dl these huge packs of wrestlers from the 80s and such and being able to import wrestlers easily enough from one card to another goes a long way towards it's appeal for me.

But I also do like the timing based gameplay, as opposed to the button mashing in other wrestling games. And of course, I'm having a blast with the very robust edit mode, going back watching matches and tweeking movesets, skills... Haven't even started messing with the AI logic yet and that's supposedly one of the games big features.
Right now as far as playing, I'm setting up tag team tournaments of 32 teams and playing all the matches out on 125% speed and 5 difficulty. I also had a look at this thread and edited some refs so the matches wouldn't drag out too long.

The criticals are amazing and I love that they rarely happen, as it makes it a lot more impactful when they actually do. Also having bleeding and it effect wrestlers differently depending on their stats is a very cool feature.
