Line 2:
* [[Bad Export for You]]: Not to be expected for the series that [[No Export for You|barely ever gets an overseas release,]] but ''Fire Pro Wrestling 2'' on GBA is the worst offender so far. Despite it does include several U.S. wrestlers that weren't here originally, it throws a handful of Japanese performers away, as well as Management of the Ring mode (later readapted by Yuke's for the needs of [[Smackdown vs. Raw]] series), which was highly praised by the import gamers.
** The content of ''Returns'', on the other hand, remains unchanged compared to the Japanese version, though the translation has been criticised, see [[Blind Idiot Translation]] on the main page.
* [[Franchise Killer]]: No matter how good it was as a standalone game, ''G'' was a huge step backward from ''6-Man Scramble'' in the eyes of the Japanese fans, which would supposedly end the series at this point... Not until Spike would kick in.
** ''Z'' was this both literally (it was meant to be the last game in the series) and figuratively, as fans felt the game was a step backward from the very popular ''D''. Thankfully, ''Returns'' pretty much fixed everything.
** The [[Xbox 360]] game threw out the trademark sprite graphics for using the 360's avatar system and traded the timing based gameplay for button mashing, had massively cutdown customization and was generally considered a massive step backward from ''Returns'', which was on the [[Playstation 2]] and was already seven years old at that point. The series has remained dormant and Spike has made little mention of it since their 2012 merger with ''[[Shiren the Wanderer]]'' creators Chunsoft other than a PSN rerelease of ''Returns'' a year afterward.
** Finally and gloriously averted with ''Fire Pro Wrestling World'', since it will be released in [[PS4]] and [[Steam]], making the first time a game of the series being released in PC.
