"WrestleFest for the arcade is the best wrestling game ever. Mr. Perfect and Ultimate Warrior were my dream team." I believe the wrestlers did the big celebratory high five for winning the tag match and the ever so funny despair look for losing. I wish it would have been possible for the player to taunt. That was just reserved for the computer though. Earthquake always gave the thumbs down before ruining my ****. I used to love when The Million Dollar Man did the "money rub" gesture.

Steel Cage Challenge was another "eh" game, just a lot of kicky-punchy with intermittent "lock-ups" that took forever to do a move, which was usually a bodyslam the likes of which would make Mike Knox proud. That's pretty much what every WWF home game was like until Royal Rumble brought in the finishing moves and foreign objects, come to think of it. After that the games really started to improve, with the exceptions of a couple of missteps like the Wrestlemania Arcade Game and In Your House.
There's only one NES wrestling game worth mentioning, and it is of course Pro Wrestling. Great gameplay, a variety of sweet moves, even the little things like the referee getting into position and making a three-count are perfectly realized.

Pro Wrestling and Tecmo World Wrestling kicked the ass of every sorry WWF wrestling game during that era hands down...i'm still entertained by Pro Wrestling today(which is to say it's not the best wrestling game of the late and middle 90's..that honor goes to Matmania)

Steel Cage Challenge was alright, it had many characters and mostly accurate themes...and there was the "secret" powerslam move (most damaging move besides Flying Elbow or whatever that should´ve been)
King Of The Ring for GB and NES was FAR worse

I got Superstars and King Of The ring a few years ago, played it on my SP Superstars is average, once you somehow figure out its basic gameplay, kotr sucked sooo much, talk about slow gameplay and not in a good way!

That WCW game for NES had Eddie Gilbert in it. You put Eddie Gilbert in a game today and casual wrestling fans would be like "WHO?"
His special move was the jumping elbow drop.
WCW for NES is ancient.

And Michael Hayes when he was US Champion.
Yes, Michael Hayes held the US title as a favor to some small town on the road circuit.
