7 Cancelled Wrestling Games We'll Never Play! (WWE, WCW & More!)

[@Smacktalks]

*Which of these cancelled wrestling games would you most liked to have played?* 🤔

[@TheRagekage5000]

The Def Jam games had the No Mercy game engine plus the follow up to Wcw Mayhem was Wcw Backstage Assault and that game engine was then given to the Legends of Wrestling games and now The Wrestling Code so do the research better dude

[@iamsarcy]

WCW 2000 and any additional TNA games. Honestly though I'd be all for a Smackdown 2 remaster - peak roster and with today's visuals it'd awesome!

Love It SmackTalks Bro all them.

[@derrickhaggard]

For me it would've been WWE Brawl.

[@SportsFanatic_99]

TNA Impact 2 would have been great, the first game already had a unique gameplay features like being able to hit a dropkick mid animation as your opponent dived off to the top rope as well having collision detection in multi man matches, I think with new match types, more moves and a bigger roster, the sequel would have been a real hit!

[@xLatinAssazzin]

I always wonder why tna never made another game but couldn't they still make a game tho

It would’ve been interesting to play 2K21 but I’m glad that 2K skipped a couple of years and gave us 2K22 after that HORRIBLE game called 2K20

[@AtomicAlma]

Never had a single issue with 2k20

[@alexishollaway]

Me neither

[@BudDean14]

I like 2K20 even though it isn’t one of the best WWE games in general.

[@402verse]

I played wwe 2k20 and my opinion I like it

[@jonathan895]

I agree! 👍

[@ElCheekyTaco]

Honestly a 3D fighting game similar to Tekken and MK could work with a WWE licence. They could work with wrestlers to design larger than life versions of the characters.

[@21Arfon21]

With 2k in control I'd dread to think of the horrible horrible randy Orton snake and demon king balor ..... Oh wait the worse game ever 2k20 gave us that 💀💀

[@SchofieldAJ]

Well WWE Titans was more so Retooled as WWE IMMORTALS that you can get on your smart devices as it has basically the same character concepts!

[@Jamessmith-xk3fh]

WWE Brawl looked like a fun game

[@JustinTyme116]

There was also plans for a sequel to WWE All-Stars. There was gonna be new modes & features, like table matches & character specific moves based on their gimmicks.

[@bloodedge1528]

Isn't WWE All-Stars the closest we could have gotten to an Impact 2?

[@potatabit]

@@bloodedge1528they share the same engine and dev team, so yeah

[@johnm5889]

TNA impact 2 would've liked to have seen that

[@loboneiner1034]

Maybe with Anthem wanting to put some money into TNA now they can finally make a new game

[@ManikiMPACT]

Same here

Interesting! I'd be down for more of this type of content Smack!

[@haydenpyne5852]

Hello

[@deaf_conformist]

It is incredible that today TNA's Kurt Angle still looks better than the current 2K models....

[@RedColdRitsu]

SvR Online is one game where I wonder if there’s ANY playable build out there, cause it had to have been in development a good while. What could’ve been, man.

[@HaklisinTabi]

i need this

[@DCLK]

I'm sad that they cancelled WWE Brawl, it looked like a fun game

[@HaklisinTabi]

WWE SmackDown vs Raw Online, I would play it again if it came out now.

[@starshipfame1]

The fact that Def Jam Vendetta was supposed be a WCW game makes me wonder what if….

[@raheemcueRCG]

I'm glad it happened.

[@Deedric_Kee]

I really wish "Yukes would comeback.

[@gabinoherrera7043]

If def jam vendetta is what wcw 2000 could have been then major loss for the wrestling fans. That game would have been top 5 wrestling games right there.

[@raheemcueRCG]

It was a top fighting game in general.

[@Builightly]

Yeah that’s exactly what I thought when I saw that. Imagine a Def Jam Fight for NY WWE game 😮

[@Spongemonkey26]

Don't forget All Stars 2 was in production before they ended up cancelling it.

[@CJDilag]

I was pumped for WCW 2000 back then. Remembered as a kid, while scanning gaming magazines, the articles and screenshots were convincing. Sadly, WCW was purchased by WWE and this was the nail in the coffin.

[@daniellewolf3697]

Wonder If TNA 2 Was Gonna FT The Knockouts

[@romanramirez3845]

Smack down vs raw online should have been a real thing and have access to all characters across all Svr games

[@sureshrainasinghraajpoot9045]

According to me, After WWE's 2K23, Minimum it will take next 30 years for the wwe games developers and makers to make the last WWE best game, or Maximum it will take next 40 years for the wwe games developers and makers to make the last WWE best game, so they can start making the remakes of the old games to earn more money and give the fans the games we always wanted.

[@mindrover777]

Stopped playing 22 after a couple of hours. Just couldn't go back to it.

[@ManikiMPACT]

Because it's trash plan and simple

[@melmcallister6293]

Cancelling WWE 2k21 was the greatest move they ever made!

[@ManikiMPACT]

Not really it just made the game worse only good thing about the game is graphics. Games got bugs and gameplay is trash compared to 2K19

[@melmcallister6293]

@@ManikiMPACT go play 2k19 then 🤷🏽‍♂️ we on the 5 waiting for 24 my boy. Stay n the past

[@UndisputedCam]

​@@ManikiMPACT22 is way better than that overated wwe2k19 19 is mainly in the Convo because of 20

[@SALTY355]

I was so excited to Play SVR Online as a kid. It looked like SVR 2010 but had unique Details.

[@NEILAMALONE]

I do remember Tatanka talking about a street fighter -esque game he was supposed to be in during a local show in 2011. Not sure what game exactly it was as he wouldn't say/probably didn't know himself exactly the name.

[@dhenderson1810]

Didn't WWE Brawl learn from the failure of "WCW Backstage Assault" of not including a ring in a wrestling game.

[@hunte5748]

It makes me so sad what we missed out on in WWE Brawl

[@michaelmarriott1177]

yeah i would have loved to played Brawl. it looked very interesting.

[@Jamessmith-xk3fh]

It really did look awesome

[@UndisputedCam]

Hey I don't know if you saw it but the prototype was found by a KZbin even Chris danger played it if you have android or PC he dumped the files so you can emulate jt

[@hunte5748]

@@UndisputedCam Yeah I saw it, it looks really cool but now it also makes me even more sad that we'll never get to see the full version of that prototype, but still cool tho

[@2flamez51]

To this day im still upset about wwe titan and wwe brawl those are my most wanted unreleased wwe games

[@Homerstar]

I would have loved to see WWE Titans get released. I’m a big fan of Next Level Games, they’ve made some of my favourite Nintendo Games (Mario Strikers Charged Football and Punch Out) so I would have loved to see there take on a Wrestling Game.

[@youngcity4241]

WCW Mayhem for the ps2 with Aki engine would of been so good

[@michaelburke7978]

Such a damn shame Mayhem's sequel was canned.

[@Y2Jerms]

I never see anyone talk about the cancelled ports for the updated version of wrestlefest. It had a lot of potential.

[@MysticalHeartless]

The biggest disappointment out of all these options? SVR ONLINE! From the way they described that, mann!!! They could've kept that game up n running for years similar to Fortnite, only for wwe fans instead. Also, AEW's "Stadium Stampede" is similar to that Online mode. If you pause at those abilities and read them, it sounds spot on with what AEW is doing now.

[@KalebCenite]

There was also a game I was looking forward to at the time for ICW out of the UK but that also got canceled

[@ene4602]

Svr online looks amazing

[@Corrado-Junior-Soprano]

It always hurts to watch videos like these. Just imagining what could have been and how fun some of these games would have been as a kid.

[@JustinLeeper]

I wonder if Impact 2 was cancelled in part because THQ bought the original dev, which it put to work on All-Stars.

[@czynx3196]

They need to be a bit clearer with the G on Angle's singlet 😮

[@cjflysociety1950]

Some wrestling promotion should have used the def jam vendetta engine. It's literally the modern no mercy engine. The animations are so fluid and crispy. Add a create a wrestler and season and you have a great 1st game with a foundation to build on. That engine would kill in 2024 and that let's you know special it is

[@youtubes6679]

2k14 is much much better than both 2k22, and 2k23

[@ManikiMPACT]

People like say 2K20s the worse but they play 22 and 23 and those games have alot of the same issues as 20 people literally be blinded by graphics. Thats the only reason I can think to why they praise these games . But the difference between those two and 20. Those games suck gameplay wise 2k20, didn't if 2k20 had been patched it would be been a good game and better than 22 n 23 but 2K19 still the best 👌

[@davide.watties3269]

I respect your opinion/perspective

[@charlescoley6038]

That wwe online looked sick I think I would've liked playing that one

[@therock428]

I'm surprised WWF Backlash on N64 wasn't mentioned

[@TheGamerSwordsman]

Won't lie those first two games mentioned on the list would of been pretty fun to play/try our.

[@juicybear7696]

You missed wwf backlash on the n64, the sequel to no mercy

[@sdd619]

WWF Backlash for N64 was another one cancelled. Due to the N64 becoming obsolete & Yukes replaces AKI.

[@2flamez51]

INCREDIBLY UNPOPULAR OPINION 2K20 IS MY FAVORITE 2K SO FAR i love the roster the creation suite the my rise the dlc all of it just perfect even having customizable weapons

[@Realcool1525]

You forgot wwf backlash on N64 which became def jam vendetta

[@LSXhasArrived]

Wait wasn’t WWE Brawl the game that was supposed to come before WWE2K Battlegrounds but got cancelled due to Covid and HardWorking?

[@AZZPAC]

Would have been good to see WWE brawl & WWE 2k22 & WWE No Mercy & WCW Mayham on the ps2

[@PunishaX]

WWE 2k19 was the best wrestling game under 2k gameplay wise

[@JadeJohnsonIndustries]

That was a cool video; please make more like this!

[@terrymcguniess7582]

the saddest one for me is tna impact 2

[@Predreus]

I would say Triple H in WWE Brawl was more like a Conan the Barbarian than a Thor

Also Jim Cornett was also going to be in the in the tna game

[@davidmosesisraelissachar]

Is 2K20 the only 2k series game that had glitches

[@Golagawolgrag]

I have never heard about any of these wrestling games

[@LeRandomBro]

I'm genuinely curious about your 2k22 opinion. Me personally, I think 2k19 is the best iteration of the 2k franchise and the newer titles have not been able to live up to it. 2k22 cut out an insane amount of additions: squash matches, roll out mechanics, opponents selling moves, Universe Promos, In-Game wrestler portraits so your CAW didn't look out of place, Advanced entrances, Online Entrances, and a whole slew of other content/mechanics(Not to mention the flop of a storyline compared to Buzz's.) I guess I just have a hard time believing 2k22 is the best in the franchise when it's only success was not being as bad as 2k20 which is a low bar to clear

[@Windrake101]

You forgot the biggest sin of 2k22, which still hasn't been corrected. The removal of Quick Grapple mechanic. Everywhere i look, i see people complaining about having to do a lock up every time they want to do a move. Every match is a slog to get through now.

[@mikymikefanspot]

[@adityakrishnawestjava9201]

That's was disaster for wwe2k20 games, same tragedy as nascar 21 ignition as many technical problems issues like bug and glitches, i think the problems for developers for develop the gameplay for wwe2k20 was during pandemic covid-19 desease, the game of wwe2k20 was not bad at all but lacking and decent gameplay during bugs and glitches appeared during game development on their making, im really sorry what happened to wwe2k 20, it was also pain for real life for wrestling games

Wishnowski asked Keel why a sequel was never developed by AKI, with Keel responding that corporate issues, including AKI not wanting to work on any Nintendo systems in favour of the PlayStation systems following WWF No Mercy, as well as THQ committing towards a relationship with Yukes. Additionally, a Facebook comment from Keel discussing the podcast fully confirms WWF Backlash never existed, as he stated that THQ did not plan any further N64 or AKI titles following WWF No Mercy, as AKI was set to work with EA to make Def Jam Vendetta for GameCube and PlayStation 2."
