Let's Ban Wrestling Games
DanSkater | 5:51 PM on 10.15.2007 22 comments


When i heard that there was another wrestling game coming out, i could only bust out in tears.
Wrestling is the fakest shit ever. Why make a game about something that nobody cares about anymore.



Wot The Bloody Hell is this??

If wrestling was real, they wouldn't have any reaction time because they're used to it being fake.
Talking about reaction time...



Thats is way more entertaining. Check Plus Plus!

Wrestling games have no point whatsoever. Lets kill em.

Excellent gifs are excellent

I disagree that they should be banned, because they're actually more entertaining than the wrestling shows themselves.

But that Scott Steiner/Christian Cage gif is hilarious.
bbrigg1's Destructoid Blog
Agreed, pro wrestling is very much worthless, but WCW/NWO Revenge for N64 is great. Other than that, ban away.
shipero's Destructoid Blog
I find wrestling games entertaining, and I haven't watched an episode since high school. I don't know about the TNA game but I'll definitely be buying Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 when it comes out.
Rockvillian's Destructoid Blog
And while we're at it, ban skating games too!
F Whipple's Destructoid Blog
Yes...the only wrestling game that should ever come out is WCW/NWO revenge on the VC
liam2015's Destructoid Blog
Can't we just ban anything wrestling related???

That pic with the garbagecan guy was fuckin hiarious
bloodylip's Destructoid Blog
Wrestlemania 2000 was the pinnacle of wrestling games. Kotaku compares the TNA game to it. So I hope its at least as good.

Fuck banning wrestling games.

Let's just ban wrestling. Problem solved!

Wrestling sucks balls, yes, but the games are sometimes good. Plus, don't say nobody cares about wrestling anymore. Obviously alot of people do, seeing as how those WWE games sell so well, and they keep making them. As for MORE wrestling games? That kind of sucks, but maybe it will be a good one. How do you know until you've tried it?

Also, just because wrestling is fake doesn't mean they shouldn't make a game for it. Think about it. Is Master Chief real? No. So should they not make Halo? Or even a superhero game. Spiderman is fake as fucking hell, albeit awesome. Should they make his game then? Actually, his games suck, so no.

The new wrestling game will sell well for the age groups of 10 - wiiTARDED!

DISCLAIMER: I am not saying all wii owners are retarded, but I can only hear the enthusiasm of the ignorant wii owners giggling with excitement about this title
blehman's Destructoid Blog
HAHAHAHAH! Funny gifs are funny.

And whiteboy, true, but i did try it, thats why i hate it so much.

@whiteboy0869
um, did you even play Spiderman 2? That game was face-melting-Ark-of-the-Covenant good. Otherwise, I basically agree.

People do care (I don't anymore, but I was lucky enough to like wrestling during Wrestlemania XX, woot!).
If people didn't give a shit, they wouldn't buy the multitude of wrestling games that come out. If noone bought the games that were made, said games would not be made anymore. I can personally attest that I have had lots of fun playing these types of games (albeit not recently)

One point you are missing is the multiplayer factor. I wouldn't have had nearly as much fun playing these games if it weren't for the 3 other players giggling like artards when they piledrive their friend through the roof of the hell-in-a-cell. That's the whole point! If I didn't have at least one other person to play a wrestling game with, it's not worth it really.

These games, like all kinds of games, have their ranges between "fail" and "superbafuckinwin". For example, WCW v. NWO was incredibly fun, Wrestlemania XVII and XVIII were fun as hell to play. However, there are many games that fell flat on their face like Legends of Wrestling. I was dying to play this game, especially since it had one of my favorite peoples of all time, Andy Kaufman, but the game was one of the top 3 WORST games I have ever played.

So don't say that these games have no point, they do. Are there too many? for some. Do they have a market? yes. Do they suck? Sometimes, but games of all genres suck sometimes. Do you like wrestling? obviously not, but I don't like Dragonball Z and you don't hear me Clogging up a hate storm. What gives?
Jim Sterling's Destructoid Blog
Word, let's ban anything we don't agree with.

Oh wait, that's happened with Manhunt 2.

I am unimpressed.

Also, many wrestling games have been pretty damn good.
CCGames Mike's Destructoid Blog
i think wrestling games shouldn't be banned, but i do believe the quality could be better. The 'sport' itself is more of a guilty pleasure than anything for me, serving as something to laugh at with disdain from time to time while also serving up matches/characters that I can get into (Mr. Kennedy, Christian Cage, Samoa Joe for example).

also the new fire pro game looks like the shit ^_^!
Eschatos's Destructoid Blog
Yeah, I think pretty much all sports games suck. I just don't like games where I could just walk outside and act them out myself. (with a friend)
Rockvillian's Destructoid Blog
WOO! I knew I could get you to use shadows and draw arrows.

MISSION.. COMPRETE!
tazarthayoot's Destructoid Blog
Wrestling games are fun gtfo the internets.
