Ranking The Best Wrestling Video Game For Each Major Console

Like the SEGA Master System, the original NES console also had WWF WrestleMania: Steel Cage Challenge released on it. But unlike its SEGA rival, the NES has a better game on offer than Steel Cage Challenge.

That better game was actually Steel Cage Challenge's predecessor, WWF WrestleMania Challenge.

This was the first time where the glitz and glamour of the then-WWF finally felt like it was truly brought to life. 8-bit life, admittedly, but brought to life nonetheless.

For the time of its 1990 release, WWF WrestleMania Challenge featured a who's who of Vince McMahon's company - from Hulk Hogan, André the Giant, Ultimate Warrior and 'Macho King' Randy Savage, to 'Ravishing' Rick Rude, the Big Boss Man, 'Hacksaw' Jim Duggan, and, err, Brutus Beefcake.

Of course, you'd expect to see a wrestling game feature the biggest names of the day, but WWF WrestleMania Challenge was the first time that such a roster was assembled - even if the in-game sprites weren't all that much to look at.
