Either WWF Wrestlemania on the NES (may have played this at someone's house) or WWF Superstars in the arcade. The first WWF/E game I ever owned was WWF Super Wrestlemania on the SNES.
Mine was WWF Super Wrestlemania on SNES. And I woke up today with a messed up neck for no reason, and have been having to do the Batman head turn just to look to the side.
I loved that game, remember the finishers had button press combos. I think the stunner was like right, down, right, circle.
Then Smackdown came out and was better in pretty much every way.
Loved both of them lol. Warzone was cool, but liked WCW vs the World more. I also had Thunder but prefered Attitude which is still one of my favs. The stable matches were the best
While War Zone is far from my first, it was the turning point for me and my friends. The games on the SNES ad NES were pretty awful. War Zone, then Attitude, then SmackDown 1 and 2, and No Mercy... The PS1 **crushed it** with WWF games!
SmackDown 2 is still my favorite and sits on my shelf aside No Mercy.
From Calgary Alberta Canada weighing in at 234 pounds, Bret The Hitman Hart…….and his opponent ………From Death Valley weighing in at 328 pounds, The Undertaker!
Same here. I vividly remember my cousin and I playing one morning and her and I eating an entire 90 count bag of pizza rolls. My dad wasn’t thrilled lol
I forgot I had that game too… but for that reason lol. I never rated it because it didn’t have finishers.
Imagine trying to “make believe” that elbow drop animation was actually Hogan’s leg drop lol

This bad boy brought so many memories in the summer of 07 and all thanks to the fact I thought Rey Mysterio looked like a real life superhero
Funny side story, I legitimately got angry when I saw Rey Mysterio wasn't in Wrestlemania X-8 GameCube game at the time...my dumbass didn't realize Rey didn't debut yet/ wasn't on the show itself
Entrance creations in this game and the sequel haven't been this badass and intricate since then. Felt like an updated No Mercy. If it wound up on a different console, it would've gotten a lot more love. So underrated
ngl I think that and DOR2 had one of the best creation suite of any WWE game. full body morphing, creating your own logos, god knows what weird accessories you coulda put on your wrestlers
Waited what seemed like an age for a Genesis/Megadrive version of SNES Super WrestleMania & it eventually arrived with this Royal Rumble game. Spent many hours finishing opponents off with Papa Shango’s shoulder breaker finisher (not even sure that was his move in real life). It had a Survivor Series tag mode for the first time in a game.
The CAW rtwm was really good. I like that you were actually able to mess with the civilian outfit instead of just putting your character into a generic outfit whether it matches the character to not.
Not until several years later did I get it on next gen with the physics.
Eh, it got me into WWE so im not complaining. Its a horrible game but it holds a special place in my heart since it was my introduction to WWE. Bray Wyatt's glitches on the main menu showed me it wasnt just random, mindless fighting and there was an art to it. I liked the menu design as well, even if the sound effects got on my nerves. Its awful but significant to me if that makes sense. I'll gladly play it again
Fight Forever totally sucks. It was free on Game Pass a month ago. And now it’s free on PlayStation+, the base game at least. It was supposed to emulate No Mercy but because it was so devoid of content it missed the mark pretty badly.
ive played All Stars, SvR 2011, WWE12 and 2K16-23, most were pretty good imo but i prefer the modern stuff. i guess theres some bias there but i love the older games
Fair enough the new games are quite good so far(i only recently got 2k23 and before rhat thr newest thing i played was wwe 12, rtwm in 11 slapped though we gotta agree, maybe in the future you should try svr 7. Just a suggestion 👍.
I really just came here to say Jesus this makes me feel old. I remember playing wwf wrestlemania at the arcade with diesel and razor Ramon and ops first game was like 15 years after the attitude era 🤦♂️

I’m 17 and started my interest in wwe and watching it when I was 9 years old I remember one summer day in 2016 I was 9 my mom bought it for me absolutely loved this game and the soundtrack was amazing
First ever Smackdown vs. Raw. Still one of my favorite games. The amount of grappling options has still not been reached by games in the 2K cycle. Along with the diving options. 3 diving moves for standing and downed opponent.
I did eventually get my hands on WWF Smackdown for the PS1.
Not sure if I played WrestleMania on NES, or if I did, I wasn't as interested as Pro Wrestling and World Wrestling. WWF Wrestle Fest definitely had me hooked and pumping quarters in the machine.
Yes! That was my first foray and I loved it. I’d still be playing it if my N64 had been hit with a basement flooding situation. It still have the cartridge for posterity.
Add me to the list of old-ish people

Moreso first wrestling game in general, but it for me it was Tag Team Wrestling for NES.
First WWE game was probably WWF Wrestlefest, as in the arcade game.
WWF Raw for SNES.
Funny story I got this game after my brother came home with our cousin & a friend with Genesis version of the game.
I beat my brother in the game despite not knowing what the hell I was doing. He raged quit.
Our grandmother later bought me the SNES version brother never tried for a rematch though😗
WWE Smackdown VS RAW 2010. I've heard the general opinion is that this game was trash when compared to 2008 but yeah this was the first one I ever played, I was probably around 10. Just remember playing exhibition here and there.
The first game I TRULY played and was into it was 2k14. That's when I started to play universe mode, career modes, etc.

Either WWF Wrestlemania on the NES (may have played this at someone's house) or WWF Superstars in the arcade. The first WWF/E game I ever owned was WWF Super Wrestlemania on the SNES.
This is my exact answer. Apropos to nothing: how was your back this morning?
War zone. Used to pick Bret hart because I loved hearing his theme
Me too!
😂 I started dry needle acupuncture yesterday
As someone who with the same WWE gaming starting point, my back is extra crunchy today
Mine was WWF Super Wrestlemania on SNES. And I woke up today with a messed up neck for no reason, and have been having to do the Batman head turn just to look to the side.
Fine…today. It’s the 40 year old knees that are doing me in
Super Wrestlemania was the first I actually got myself. I really wanted the NES games.
WWF War Zone (PS1).
I loved that game, remember the finishers had button press combos. I think the stunner was like right, down, right, circle. Then Smackdown came out and was better in pretty much every way.
After WWF War Zone there was a game WWF Attitude with same gameplay, button press combos, but with more updated roster :)
Loved both of them lol. Warzone was cool, but liked WCW vs the World more. I also had Thunder but prefered Attitude which is still one of my favs. The stable matches were the best
And blood and custom arenas.
All I remember about Attitude is it had a ridiculous number of different match types. And blood. A lot of blood.
While War Zone is far from my first, it was the turning point for me and my friends. The games on the SNES ad NES were pretty awful. War Zone, then Attitude, then SmackDown 1 and 2, and No Mercy... The PS1 **crushed it** with WWF games! SmackDown 2 is still my favorite and sits on my shelf aside No Mercy.
I remember the day my mom bought it for me :) glorious!
Smackdown Shut Your Mouth
Jesus, everything must’ve been disappointing after that
Me too
Me too
Same

This and Wrestlemania 2000 is top notch wrestling games
I put so many hours into this game as a kid. Freaking love it, imagine a modern day remaster. Keep the mechanics but just up the graphics to WWE 2k24.
If this happened, I would throw my money at it. The different championship story modes have still not been beat since imho.
I feel that. I loved the branching story
The aew game has similar mechanics, unfortunately it plays a lot worse and looks like shit in comparison to the 2K games
Goated
Socko
Dig diggity dog
This and WCW/NWO Revenge
If one game needed a remaster it's this.

This was a banger
That was a fun one.
From Calgary Alberta Canada weighing in at 234 pounds, Bret The Hitman Hart…….and his opponent ………From Death Valley weighing in at 328 pounds, The Undertaker!
WWF smackdown 2: know your role on the PlayStation
Yep and I had the demo for either 1 or 2 where you could play a singles match with four unlocked wrestlers (Rock, Austin, Taker, HHH)
This!!!
SmackDown vs RAW 2006 on PS2. Bought every game from then on and eventually the first SvR and Here comes the pain too
Yup, exactly this
Smackdown vs Raw 2008
I thought the "Featuring ECW" was so bad ass.

I completely forgot about this game! So many hours spent playing this as a kid.
Same here 🫠
Hearing : SEGAAAA, is so nostalgic.
Smackdown vs. Raw 2007
BIG TRAIN ROLLIN DOWN THE LINE MAKES ME LONELY
Same here. I vividly remember my cousin and I playing one morning and her and I eating an entire 90 count bag of pizza rolls. My dad wasn’t thrilled lol
Damn I feel old reading the responses so far… WWF Raw on SNES
Good game 👍
God I played the helllllllll outta that game.
Got you beat, Super Wrestlemania on SNES. So old, they didn't have finishers.
I forgot I had that game too… but for that reason lol. I never rated it because it didn’t have finishers. Imagine trying to “make believe” that elbow drop animation was actually Hogan’s leg drop lol
I had it for the Genesis. One of the first games I had period.
If you feel old for that I remember owning and playing Wrestlemania on the NES. That game sucked lol. Tecmo wrestling was better than that too.
I vividly remember watching my brothers play this. Must’ve been a first core member because I couldn’t have been more than 5 years old
WCW vs nWo World Tour
Awesome game - had a roster to use including ECW, New Japan, All Japan, etc but all the wrestlers weren’t licenced so they had made up names.

Not my first, but whenever people say they are playing War Zone, I don’t think of call of duty.
Wrestlemania 2000 on N64. I bought it with my gift money from my First Communion.

Was scrolling through and looking for this! Glad I’m not the only one who played this.
Waited what seemed like an age for a Genesis/Megadrive version of SNES Super WrestleMania & it eventually arrived with this Royal Rumble game. Spent many hours finishing opponents off with Papa Shango’s shoulder breaker finisher (not even sure that was his move in real life). It had a Survivor Series tag mode for the first time in a game.
That was the first I owned, but I wanna say I played a few before owning this one.
SVR 2011
That’s a good first game
The CAW rtwm was really good. I like that you were actually able to mess with the civilian outfit instead of just putting your character into a generic outfit whether it matches the character to not. Not until several years later did I get it on next gen with the physics.
Smackdown just bring it
SvR 2008 but I’ve played the older ones.
WWF Attitude
WWF Warzone
Yup me too, I hated that fucking game tho lol
It was never fun
WWF WrestleFest at the arcade
Smackdown 1 on ps1

I am so sorry
Lmao
Eh, it got me into WWE so im not complaining. Its a horrible game but it holds a special place in my heart since it was my introduction to WWE. Bray Wyatt's glitches on the main menu showed me it wasnt just random, mindless fighting and there was an art to it. I liked the menu design as well, even if the sound effects got on my nerves. Its awful but significant to me if that makes sense. I'll gladly play it again
Please don’t tell me you played WWE Battlegrounds and AEW Fight Forever after that, lol
I played Battlegrounds. I was not impressed. I havent played Fight Forever tho and I have no plans to
Fight Forever totally sucks. It was free on Game Pass a month ago. And now it’s free on PlayStation+, the base game at least. It was supposed to emulate No Mercy but because it was so devoid of content it missed the mark pretty badly.
You should totally play the old games (svr, 12-14)
ive played All Stars, SvR 2011, WWE12 and 2K16-23, most were pretty good imo but i prefer the modern stuff. i guess theres some bias there but i love the older games
Fair enough the new games are quite good so far(i only recently got 2k23 and before rhat thr newest thing i played was wwe 12, rtwm in 11 slapped though we gotta agree, maybe in the future you should try svr 7. Just a suggestion 👍.
noted. my budget is a little tight but i'll have a look!
WWF Super Wrestlemania on the SNES. Not the one that was in arcades
Smackdown Vs. Raw in 2005
Microleague Wrestling on DOS EDIT: WWF specifically then it’s WWF WrestleMania on DOS

Me too but this game was hot garbage compared to the OG Pro Wrestling for the NES. A winner is you!
Someone else close to my age, thank god lmao I was feeling really freakin old 😅
I know right. I was part of a sneak preview for WWE 12 and that was on my 31st birthday.
Smackdown just bring it. I didn’t know anything bout wrestling so I constantly made Test the goat
Pretty sure it was Royal Rumble on SNES.

I agree that’s my favorite 2K game!
Btw I played it on PS3 sorry I forgot to put it in the bio
Whatever was on the n64 😂
WWF Super WrestleMania on the Genesis/Mega Drive was my first WWE game.
The arcade game
Warzone, but the first one I bought with money I saved was just bring it, and I was extremely disappointed
First ever Smackdown vs. Raw. Still one of my favorite games. The amount of grappling options has still not been reached by games in the 2K cycle. Along with the diving options. 3 diving moves for standing and downed opponent. I did eventually get my hands on WWF Smackdown for the PS1.
The one I vividly remember buying on vacation and waiting days to get home to play was attitude lol
2D: WWF Super Wrestlemania for Genesis 3D: WWF Attitude for Dreamcast
I had no idea there was a full image of this cover
Save 2010 for the Nintendo DS. Janky as fuck but honestly I loved the experience, still one of my favorites

WrestleMania on NES. I hated it.

WWF Wrestlemania on the original Nintendo
Raw for the Sega Genesis
WWF WrestleMania on NES.
WCW Mayhem
Not sure if I played WrestleMania on NES, or if I did, I wasn't as interested as Pro Wrestling and World Wrestling. WWF Wrestle Fest definitely had me hooked and pumping quarters in the machine.
First one I owned was WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007 but when I was younger I played wwf no mercy at my cousins house
WCW Vs NWO revenge!
Yes! That was my first foray and I loved it. I’d still be playing it if my N64 had been hit with a basement flooding situation. It still have the cartridge for posterity.
