** ''[[Saints Row]]'' The Third looks to continue this tradition with a gang of Mexican wrestlers called the Luchadores. Not to mention one of your revealed homies is an ex-member of this gang.

* In ''[[Dynasty Warriors]] 7'', Huang Gai's Musou attacks consist of wrestling grapples, including a back drop (misnamed as Piledriver), and a backbreaker (complete with cheering), Deng Ai has an arm bar as one of his Musou and Zhang Fei can pull off a Giant Swing. Anyone who wears a gauntlet (like Ding Feng or Meng Huo) also has a Frankensteiner in addition of a weaker version of the aforementioned Giant Swing. |

** In a more straight example, Tatsumaru was given the Izuna Drop as his strongest special attack in ''Tenchu 3''. Unfortunately, it was removed from his playable form in Co-Op. [[Game Breaker|Not that he needed it, anyway.]] |
