Ranking The Best Wrestling Video Game For Each Major Console

9. SEGA Dreamcast - WWF Royal Rumble

Not to be confused with its impressive 1993 namesake, WWF Royal Rumble was utterly erratic but undoubtedly enjoyable.

As a console, the SEGA Dreamcast is sadly just a footnote in the gaming industry. SEGA's last foray into the home console market, the system was the first sixth generation console to arrive on the scene. Unfortunately for SEGA though, the Dreamcast was soon left in the dust of the PlayStation 2, the Xbox, and even the Nintendo GameCube.

Wrestling fans were left with slim pickings to choose from on the Dreamcast, but WWF Royal Rumble is an offering that still has a special place in the heart of many a gamer - even if that's more down to its outright hilarity rather than overall quality.

Frankly, the main feature of WWF Royal Rumble - as in, the Royal Rumble match itself - was a mess. Due to the small roster of playable characters, you'd have the same grapplers entering the Rumble multiple times. But hey, the plus point was this was the first time that Taz was in a WWF game, which at the time was kinda cool.
