I mean, look at the PS1's wrestling game library in comparison:


 * WCW vs. the World (1997): Early THQ-AKI game... baxk when they haven't quite hit their stride yet. The worst in the THQ-AKI series, if only because the later titles were so much better.


 * WCW Nitro (1998): Plays very weirdly compared to the previous WCW game. Did not age well. Only remembered for the "wresler rants".


 * WWF War Zone (1998): Clunky controls. CAW mode that gave you a bunch of options, but without the ability to edit movesets. Like Nitro, did not age very well.


 * WCW/nWo Thunder (1999): Essentially a reskin + roster update of Nitro. Most of Nitro's descdiption applies to this one as well.


 * WCW Mayhem (1999): Slightly better than the previous WCW games on PS1 (but cannot hold a candle to the THQ-AKI games), if only by a slight margin. Warzone-tier CAW mode with no custom movesets petty much kills it.


 * WWF Attitude (1999): Massive improvement over War Zone, especially with the CAW mode. Still has the clunky controls tho.


 * ECW Hardcore Revolution (2000): Essentially an ECW-themed reskin of Attitude... literally. Nothing else even changed in between.


 *  ECW Anarchy Rulz (2000): Same as Hardcore Revolution, but somehow even worse. Though it did intrduce me to Dope and One Minute Silence, so it gets some credit, I guess...


 * WCW Backstage Assault (2000): AWFUL. JUST AWFUL.


 * WWF SmackDown! (2000): First THQ WWF game for PS1. Gameplay is sound, but CAW mode is  pretty bad.


 * WWF SmackDown! 2: Know Your Role (2000): The best wresling game on PS1, hands down, with better gameplay, better CAW mode and better... well, everything except the load times. Shame it was also the last SmackDown! game for the system before shifting to PS2.

I'm discounting WrestleMania the Arcade and WWF In Your House because those are more like fighting games than anything.
