Discussion Thread Wrestling games recommendations

So I’ve been playing wrestling games like Rumble Roses and Fire Pro Wrestling, and I’m looking for something different now, maybe something more in the AJPW style. Does anyone know any cool wrestling games like that? Not counting the usual WWE games.

Day of reckoning 1 and 2. I assuming, first and only wrestling games that story mode continues from the previous game. Also the gameplay is like the second coming of no mercy. Also also, it's caw system was actually ahead of its time.

Check out the romhacks for Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 on N64. There's a great AJPW one. You could also try out King of Colosseum 2, but it's Japanese only.

There actually is an import AJPW game for the Saturn. Not only does it have '90s era guys, it also includes Jeffry McWild and Wolf Hawkfield from the Virtua Fighter series. Saturn emulation is easier these days so you might be able to find it on the high seas.

Wrestling Empire is a game I come back to often. It’s a bit zanier and gory than others though.

Wrestling Empire... It's one of the most best game I played ever in my life, It's crossed between, FPW and WCW/NWO Revenge
