** Another NES wrestling game, ''Tag Team Pro Wrestling'', is incredibly bad and would be utterly forgotten if it weren't for the fact that Strong Bad from ''[[Homestar Runner]]'' is named after the opposing team in the game.
** There's also ''Tecmo World Wrestling'' for the NES, which introduced Tecmo's trademark cinema scenes into the action. The gameplay is hit-or-miss.
* The mostly-Japan-only ''[[Fire Pro Wrestling]]'' series is one of the major innovators of the genre, having [[Trope Maker|introduced such staples]] as the Create-A-Wrestler mode (in ''Super Fire Pro Wrestling X Premium'', for the Super Famicom) and the Story mode (in ''Fire Pro Wrestling G'' for [[Play StationPlayStation]] 1). It still boasts the most extensive CAW mode in the industry, which is saying a lot, given that its 2D, sprite-based style makes animating the various selectable costumes far more difficult than simply swapping out textures. Each game also boasts hundreds upon hundreds of wrestlers, most of them [[Captain Ersatz|Captain Ersatzes]] for real-life wrestlers. To date, only three games under the ''Fire Pro'' line have made it to the United States: ''Fire Pro Wrestling Advance'' and its sequel (both for the Game Boy Advance), and the currently-last game in the series, ''Fire Pro Wrestling Returns'' for the PlayStation 2. Fire Pro's [[Gaiden Game]], ''Blazing Tornado'', also had a limited American arcade release, but no home release (unlike in Japan, where it was ported to the Sega Saturn).
** The series has a hardcore following amongst its fans, many of which reside on the Fire Pro Forums (which also has subforums for other non-''Fire Pro'' wrestling games).
* ''[[WWE|WWF]] War Zone'' and its sequel, ''WWF Attitude'', are famous for introducing the CAW mode to American audiences. Sadly, they have not aged well.
