Didn't want to make a poll for this because this is a more generalized topic. I was wondering who you all think is the best representation of a wrestler, or the wrestling style, in video games. Now this doesn't just have to be in fighting games, since wrestlers have appeared in other genre's (like Hagger in Final Fight). Also, this shouldn't count actual wrestling games (i.e. WWE, TNA, AAA games).

I'm just asking for your opinions. This is a wrestling site, so this subject should come up on the video games forum once in a while.

I already know that Zangief and Hagger official trained together, but I wonder if theirs a connection between them and Max (I noticed a lot of the big man wrestlers fight in the same fashion). Also, posting pics with your choice is a good idea, visuals are always a nice addition.

Brock Lesnar.

No one can deny this. He was a monster in all the games. And in Mania 19/DOR, when you'd do the F5 and knock anyone else out with it!

I'm really enjoying the fact that I'm hearing names that haven't even crossed my mind, but I would like to hear more from games outside of those produced by actual wrestling companies. Not that I can't deny how overpowered Brock was in his game incarnations.

Ha, this is why Zangief never had a career in public assistance, that's not how you help someone off of a table. lol

Can't say too much about their respective movelists, but Capcom certainly captured the wrestlers persona:)

Can someone post a pix of Haggar...not only was he a former Saturday Night Slam Master but he was also the former mayor of Metro City.

Armor King is a nice candidate, he has a solid set of moves. Maybe not as varied as King's but still solid.

You're correct, it's been years since I last played that game. Thanks for the intel.

Undertaker was a beast in every wrestling game.

Alright, Wolf's a good choice, at least in the case of utilizing wrestling moves efficiently. But his personality and charisma is so boring, it reminds me of the Jack robots from the Tekken series. Also, while I did enjoy using Undertaker in that one WrestleMania game (he used actual tombstones and black lighting) I found him too be nothing special in the other games. He wasn't horrible, just no different than how he is in real life.

I think some of the best wrestlers in video games are those that are based on actual wrestlers. Good call.
