The history of Professional wrestling video games is a rich one, filled with all kinds of hidden gems across every gaming console available. But where did it all begin? What came first and what's worth remembering out of the hundreds on offer?

The History of professional wrestling’s goal is to take a look into the evolution of prowrestling video games, looking back at where it started and trying to see where this journey takes us.

Over the next few hours, or however long this takes, I'm going to try my best to look over the history of professional wrestling video games, and really figure out where it all went wrong. I mean, these titles were good at some point, right? Weither you're a No Mercy lifer, a SmackDown vs Raw 2008 Defender, or a Here comes the Pain Fanatic, I hope that you enjoy my look into the history of wrestling games. Starting all the way back in 1982.

In this part we take a look at The Big Pro Wrestling, Techno's wrestling titles including Mat Mania, Mania Challenge Sequel. M.U.S.C.L.E, Pro Wrestling for the Sega MAster System, Nintendo's Pro Wrestling, WWF SuperStars, WrestleMania Challenge, WrestleFest, Fire Pro, Kinnikuman, WWF Royal Rumble (1993), WCW Wrestling, SuperBrawl, Saturday Night Slam Masters, WWF Raw, Fire Pro Joshi titles and MORE!

Please note that this title focuses on the games listed by the SmackDown Hotel, found here:

Though I tried my hardest, I found it best to pick and chose from certain games and therefore certain titles may have been missed. Please let me know in the comments any of your favourites that should have been included!

Shoutout to @OSW for their input, feedback and a couple of art assets (the boy stable!).
