WWE 2k14 is an S tier. 30 years of WrestleMania showcase. Defeat the streak mode. Excellent roster! This game definitely deserves a remaster or update.

Day of reckoning is A tier comon brother!

[@Andrew-Nite]

WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2007 GM Mode was so addicting on PS2, Xbox 360, and PSP. Also, all the moves you can do on the ropes and get disqualified. One of the best Wrestling games in my opinion.

[@heavyhitter5538]

U cant layer hack the game. U cant do gender swap hack. That makes it less playeable as compared with 06.

[@domodadude88]

SVR 2008 being a A tier while 2K19 in the C tier is crazy

[@ajmoore2201]

Not to mention he also somehow put 2008 ahead of SvR 07 and Shut Your mouth

You're missing WWF WrestleMania Challenge for the NES

[@JavierRivera-fp6cb]

You definitely have to play wwe13 2k14 and 2k16 for their showcase mode 13: is attitude era from the formation of dx to wrestlemania 15, 2k14: is 30 years of wrestlemania, and 2k16: stone cold career from the Hollywood blonds in wcw all the way to his last match at wrestlemania 19, so much nostalgia

[@FatalEnd021]

Day of Reckoning 1 and 2 are A and S tiers to me

[@MR.__G]

Easily ! Those games were so good that me and my friends didn’t mind putting down here comes the pain some days and playing DOR.

[@RaisinBran0291]

A lot of classics missing. The def jam games and rumble roses missing is crazy. We even don’t have Simpsons Wrestling or Celebrity Deathmatch

[@marshawnroland1642]

My only disappointment is they left out Saturday Night Slam Masters and 3 Count Bout. I love those games.

[@Roger-fs5yo]

[@pat2430]

Backyard wrestling with insane clown posse. Best game ever. Hands down.

[@Retro_Gamer_89]

Got it emulated on my Xbox Series X 😎

That game was awesome the hardcore action was never before seen

[@edwinafamefuna4383]

Rgt 85, if you haven't played KOC series, you might not want to do this list until you have. Imagine FP wrestling with 3D graphics and better use of the FP grappling system. The one you said you didn't play was the green version to the KOC 1. There is also a red version that goes with it. KOC 2 is God tier. They improved the entire engine

[@CactusJacksEar]

Way too many great games unplayed!

[@urmie]

Prior to 2K getting it together with 22 and 23, WWE2K14 was the best game for the longest time, the roster was amazing, so many nWo members, Hollywood Rock, etc. RGT not playing this is a travesty that needs to be corrected. Get a copy for the 360 at once!! 🔥

Memories of playing WCW vs NWO Revenge for the N64 with my brother have to be some of my best childhood gaming memories. That game was simply amazing.

[@mikeyhodge6191]

WWE ‘13 is worth checking out. One of my favorites

[@MegaHarv]

King of Colosseum 2 was extremely good. It had somewhat of a steep learning curve, but once you got the hang of it, you could have some banger matches with friends. I haven't played it in years, it probably has a translation patch by now. It's worth checking out

[@Thegamingtrouge]

I can't believe John from Spawnwave LET you rank his list

[@stevezac_cptlpnshmnt]

WWE 13 was REALLY good! The showcase was based around the best matches of The Attitude Era

[@Originolley]

THIS! I was shocked he never played as a wrestling fan...Def missing out!

[@JustJulyo]

Probably the last great WWE game! Having all those Wrestlemanias was peak wrestling fandom

[@333rd_JokersCard]

Yeah I was shocked to hear he hadn’t played it! One of my favorites of more modern wrestling games. Anything attitude era I will swoon over 😂 but really great showcases and such. I wish they would do another attitude era focused game in the new era of 2k series.

What about the first Def Jam game for ps2? A wrestling game with rappers!

[@williamosborne2208]

Rumble Roses is well worth a play through. It's not a game for pervs, or not just for pervs. It's actually a pretty good wrestling game, not the best for customization and what not but the wrestling itself is deeper than you would think. How about a part 2 with Pro Wrestling on the nes, Mat Mania Arcade and the many other wrestling games that weren't on this one?

[@316whatupz]

Glad to see Wrestling Empire high up on the list 😊

[@pokedad26]

I highly recommend you play 2K 14, 16, and 19

[@TRJ2525]

The N64 was THE best time for wrestling games. Revenge is the goat wcw nwo world tour is great too.

[@Roger-fs5yo]

Stop being ridiculous, the NES and master system and SNES had better games💁‍♂️

[@edwinafamefuna4383]

@@Roger-fs5yo Stop it. N64 was the best. Outside of Pro Wrestling and Techmo Wrestling, no talks about that generation of wrestling games. Trash era for wrestling

[@DaBears08]

Nice video! wrestling games used to be such a big reason I loved games in the 90s and 2000s. Never play anymore. Wish the list was done in order of release but tall task. Well done.

[@twig-e6431]

Tough tiering my fave wrestling games. I'd say I haven't played many. If I had to pick my favorites, they would be: 1. WWE Day of Reckoning 2 2. WWF No Mercy 3. Saturday Night Slammasters 4. WWE '12 5. WWF Royal Rumble (SNES) The SNES Royal Rumble was the first wrestling game I played...I probably rented it at least 5 times as a kid. Don't know why...lol.

Had to check the vid out when I see WCW Nitro get the green checkmark of approval 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@JDoomhauer87]

WCW/NWO Revenge!

[@craziscoth]

WCW/NWO Revenge and No Mercy were hands down the best. The new games still can't replicate that fun (Wrestlemania 2000 is a close third)

[@_danny_bridge_]

All three are played regularly played on my N64. Revenge is number one for me.

[@tmerchead1]

Ok games but they were inferior versions of the Virtual Prowrestling duology

[@MR.__G]

I don’t get how ppl think revenge is better than wm 2000. Wm had more to offer and the inclusion of CAW just changed everything. You can literally bring in the wcw roster into the wwf. No mercy, wm 2000, revenge, in that order

[@joshuag7207]

The commentary for WCW was surprisingly well done. It's still fun to listen to.

[@diendong]

AEW Fight Forever’s base combat mechanics are great though still buggy but it’s just lacking content right now. Playing it now feels like playing WCW/nWO: World Tour. They also need to fix the balancing and pacing issues that leaves players constantly mashing the buttons for a very long time to just get up from the mat early in the match. I hated this in Day of Reckoning 1 & 2. AKI perfected it with all of their games.

[@heavyhitter5538]

Im gonna watch the whole video so you can get some holiday money RGT.

[@onedays104]

Thank you for putting Wrestling Empire in A tier. Probably the most underrated wrestling game to come out in the last few years and I've been singing its praises since i bought it. The career and booking modes are probably the best out of any game out there.

[@MedalionDS9]

If the Gaming Historian was also really into wrestling... 51 min video? INsane!

[@PlorkStar]

Day of reckoning 2 is EASILY A tier at least even B is too low the game is criminally underrated as a whole this entire ranking is pretty…interesting

[@ratiuvictor9533]

You should try wwe2k14. It was the culmination of the PS3/Xbox 360 wrestling era. 30 years of wrestlemania was amazing, Undertaker streak mode was probably the best AI ever made for a wrestling game. Tons of matches, arenas, belts, moves, entrences that can all be customizable. Create a finisher was probably the first and last time where it was not that buggy and the Roster was also pretty good. The best thing is that is like a old school fighting game where you need to go throw 30years of wrestlemania to unlock 90% of the stuffs from the game. I hope this year the 40years of wrestlemania mode is as fun as it was in wwe2k14

[@nukeboynez3648]

You never played WWE 2K13? 2K13 and 2K14 were pretty good dude.

[@big_boss_games]

There was another arcade game back in the day too... WWF SuperStars.

WCW Vs NWO World Tour & Here Comes The Pain & WrestleFest My Three Favorite Wrestling Games.

[@karlhenfrey3281]

WWE13 was awesome. The Attitude showcase was amazing

[@JamesShow]

I also like the first two Smackdown games and disliked that as the gameplay refined it seemed to take modes like "I quit" match out in favor of Fatal Fourway. I also really liked that the original game popped up the names of the moves but none of the games afterwards had that option. The later games also balanced the play more, I guess, by making it harder to come back late in the match by running away, haha.

[@bones2015ify]

Some of those 2k games you missed out on had some sick attitude era modes

[@shaynesenn4583]

Again, big fan! Great job and you have alot of patience. Keep it up!

Hey RGT the games where you throw a girl in it are the King of Colliseum series It's considered S tier by a lot of Japanese Wrestling fan. You should definitively try them.

[@JesseCappelletto]

Smackdown Here comes the Pain was definitely the Wrestling game that I played the most! I loved how you could create a wrestler, win the title, and it would keep track of your stats and titles. I must have played season mode 40 - 50 times between all of my characters! I also had fun with Fire Pro Wrestling on the PS2. RetroMania was also good but it felt like half of a game I'm still waiting for it to be continued. MIA on this list were Pro Wrestling on the Sega Master System, and the Nes game that was also called Pro Wrestling but was completely different ( and both were way better than Wrestlemania on the NES!)
