Probably Wrestlefest in some old mall arcade but first one I owned was WWF Raw for Super Nintendo.

I think it was Wrestlefest in an arcade in Southport. I remember choosing Big Bossman as this was 1999 and as a new fan I'd not heard of any of the other wrestlers 😂
For console it was Warzone for PS1

A random Game Gear Wrestling game, I only remember it because it had Hogan, Flair and a few other notable names. It was also difficult to play I recall. Was it Steel Cage Challenge by any chance? Looking at roster I think it was.

The first was either Warzone or Attitude when I was really young. Those two kind of blend together to me so I can't remember exactly which one.
Looking it up and it kinda blows my mind how soon the first Smackdown was after those two games. They feel like completely different eras to me for both wrestling and video games but there wasn't even a year between Attitude and Smackdown.
We're showing our age as a group here lol. I don't think a single one of us has answered with a game that isn't 20+ years old. There must be some whippersnappers around here whose first game was one of the Smackdown v Raws or something.

But now thinking about it Mat Mania in the arcade has to be the first. The place my parents bowled every week had that in the arcade from when it came out until at least 1990. Got it now for my Evercade on one of the carts. Harder than I remember. I was wondering if anybody else had played Mat Mania. I played this every chance I got at a mall that was already a dead mall in the mid-80s. I have this on my PS4. Fortunately, while the game is certainly hard, adult me can go a lot further without continuing than 8-year old me did. Now, what channel is Lawerence Welk on? Add me to the Mat Mania list. Charlie’s Shake Shop, 1986. Loved the referee’s 3 count. Wunnnn! Two! Thr-EEEEEEEEEEEE!

WrestleMania on the NES.
I actually stayed away from wrestling games for a long time, until a friend showed me WCW Nitro for his PlayStation. I'd only casually seen some games for PlayStation, but this was the game that convinced me to buy a PlayStation instead of an N64. And I didn't even end up getting WCW Nitro for it!

Okay, the arcade game I was thinking about was either WWF WrestleFest or Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game. Probably played both on that note.

can't remember. I had a lot of hand me downs from my older brother. Every game from NES and SNES prior to 95 was available to me.

Oh boy. Such good times I had with this game with my friend that I can’t repeat anywhere.

WWF Wrestlemania Challenge on NES for me. I still think it's the best WWF NES game.
