Top 10 WWE Games Of All Time

- For the average wrestling fan, turning to WWE’s games is a safer way to live out your sports entertainment fantasies than, say, jumping off the roof of your garage through a flaming table. Since the late 80s there’ve been well over 50 such games that have averted countless such ill-advised* attempts to be a pro wrestler at home, all wearing the WWF/E banner. And while it’s as difficult to parse out the incremental improvements from one year to the next as it is to kick out of a Tombstone, here’s an attempt at narrowing down the 10 best WWE games of all time.
To start with, we didn’t book this list all by ourselves without consulting our roster. The IGN audience participated in a Face-off, giving us a capacity crowd's worth of data to work with. There are a handful of surprises and no small dose of nostalgia for the Attitude Era that showed up in the results, but without further ado or wrestling wordplay, let’s ring the bell.
#IGN #Gaming #WWE
WWE 13 & WWE 2K14 not being on this list is criminal. Those two titles had the best physics. You could slam anyone through any table without it being locked behind a special or OMG. You could literally just prop an opponent on any table , jump off on them or do any standing move and slam them through any table. Man how did everyone miss those two titles.
True
@@johncarlsmadre9013 I was not expecting that the cementer showed all the 2005 and before 2000s and one 2024. Nothing in between. Look like a personal top ten.
Not mentioning how ICONIC SvR 2007 soundtrack was and instead just making bad jokes is just a crime.
SVR 07 and 08 soundtracks are 10/10
The lack of Day of Reckoning 2 shows that the kids don’t respect the GameCube enough. Both DoR games are fantastic and are missing from this list.
Facts like wtf
DOR 2 is easily top 5. I'd put it #2
This is facts
Big fax
Lack of commentary hurts, but they had great gameplan
My top three:
3. Smackdown: Shut Your Mouth.
2. Smackdown vs. RAW 2006.
1. Smackdown: Here Comes The Pain.
What about the amazing N64 games?
@@Danny-xm1pe I'll definitely swap his SVR2006 pick for No Mercy.
That’s a perfect top 3
Smackdown Shut Your Mouth came out in 2002, Smackdown Here Comes The Pain released 2003, you gotta get ya facts straight, love you IGN❤💯
@@Danny-xm1pe He said "Top 3" so he can only include 3 entries.
HCTP was the first time they introduced the limb damage system and the mini-games mechanic for pins and submissions. Huge defining moment for the franchise.
Wwf no mercy is GOATED
Goateddddddd
yeah my favorite!!
WWF no mercy is Undisputed
Day of reckoning 1 or 2 definitely needed to be on the list.
Maybe even SVR 2011
SVR 11 is my fav WWE game
Landing People’s Elbow in NO MERCY and Wrestlemania 2000 was great 😂
Putting 2k24 over 2k14 and 13 is crazy
How
@@TheRamboCommando newbies voted for that
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Wwe 13 is goated for sure
WWE All Stars.
Look it up, over the top arcade gameplay, a true hidden gem
IGN aren’t gamers, they don’t know about deep cuts like this
This is my favorite then 2000 and no mercy. Truly underrated.
Smackdown vs raw 2006 and 2007 >>>>>>>>>> majority of this list
My Top 10:
1. Smackdown! Here Comes the Pain
2. WWF No Mercy
3. Smackdown! vs Raw 2006
4. WWE 2K14
5. WWE '13
6. Smackdown! Shut Your Mouth
7. Smackdown! vs Raw
8. WrestleMania 2000
9. Smackdown! vs Raw 2007
10. Day of Reckoning
Uh how about 2k19 ?
Smackdown Here Comes The Pain will always be my favourite. Have so many fond memories of that game and the career mode was just perfection
Ahh, the 64 era. ❤
No mercy at 1 will always be correct, but no Wrestlemania XIX or Day Of Reckoning 2 which are better than all games from #2 to #10 is a crime.
Here comes the pain is better than no mercy
The N64 era wresting games were the best. The moves were easy to do and the button layout made sense.
No way in hell does 2K24 deserve to be #3. That's nothing more than recency bias.
And then no SVR 2011 which had the best weapons physics and best season mode ever, no WWE 13 which had the best roster and best showcase mode ever, and none of the excellent GameCube games which were like hybrids of the AKI games crossed with the Smackdown games? Meh. At least they got #1 correct.
Smackdown VS Raw 2011 is definitely in my top three. The physics just in general in that game was incredible. Not really a bad thing to say about that game to be honest.
Smackdown VS Raw 2011 was an amazing game
It’s all debatable
Damn, No Mercy has yet to be beaten lol
SvR 2011
2k14 and 2k19 should have been on the list. 14 changed the whole fighting mechanics and 19 perfected it. 14', 19' & 24' are the best of 2k series.
No Mercy, WrestleMania 2000, Smackdown SYM, WCW/NWO Revenge, DOR 1 and 2, and WWE 2K19 are my most played wrestling games. WarZone introduced me to CAW, a moment that changed mt entire perspective. 2K games after the departure of Yuke's have really let me down, however. 2K19 was the last Yuke's made WWE game.
Nice to see other people regard shut your mouth as the better game compared to here comes the pain...
My first wrestling game was WWF Attitude on the PSone Just being able to play as your favourite wrestler in 3D was awesome.
The biggest OMG moment was Smackdown Just Bring It on the PS2. The graphical leap to the next gen was mind blowing at the time.
They left out Day of Reckoning 2 imo.
In your opinion.... 😂😂😂
5. DOR 2
4. SVR 07
3. SVR 05
2. HCTP
1. No Mercy
Wrestlemania 2000 on N64 was the best!
No Mercy on N64 is better than
@StraightEdgeKnight19 thanks for saving me the trouble
@@StraightEdgeKnight19 Aew fight for the fallen is even better.
@@justincantrell09 😂 nice joke
@@Blazer-RPT what’s the joke it has the original creators of the no mercy series, same controls etc. its missing a couple features but they should come in time.
No Mercy as #1 is a fact but not having Day of Reckoning 2 when there were 3 Smack Down games on the list, wtf
Wwf no mercy, smack down here comes the pain and day of reckoning 1,2 also smack down vs raw 2007 my personal top 5.
Those games fun especially when you plays with others
Here comes the pain
Shut your mouth
Day of reckoning 2
We no mercy
Wwe smackdown vs Raw 2008
My top 5 favorite
@@waynehefner21462008 was the worst game ever
Smackdown vs raw 2007 is thee best one of all time played it like nobodies business
Big money opportunity missed if they remade No Mercy with modern graphics BUT keep the same gameplay engine with maybe a few tweaks.
100% agree with the list... wrestlemania 2000 and No Mercy are game jewells. I remember back in the day when I was in high school spending many hours in story mode, creating new wrestlers (like Goldberg and Kurt Angle) and grinding with my childhood friends.
I’m amazed wwe you found a way to advertise your new game 👍
I’m an arcade style person, so I’ll always be a HCTP person, while recognizing that No Mercy is great. HCTP is a great roster that is fun to play with, great character creation and endlessly enjoyable.
Wish there was a little more variety on this list as All Stars and Day of Reckoning deserve their love over some of the more interchangeable titles.
WWE All-Stars? This was 🔥
Day of reckoning 2 was amazing and the best game in my opinion, way too fun
The games made before 2004 were all far better than the modern ones
N64 was a wrestling game Golden Era. WWF Wrestlemania on PC.. The GOAT of the arcade era. Smackdown and Nitro on PS1.
Aw man…… the create an arena, create an intro, create a match, career modes… so much customization
WWF No Mercy✅️.... and can't believe WWF Attitude didn't make the list 😲
11:55 the ref just got obliterated by Brock😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The world needs another THQ and AKI WWF/WWE game.
SmackDown here comes the pain,WWE RAW 2005 and SmackDown Vs Raw.
Someone never had an N64...
WWF SmackDown! 2: Know Your Role is the best! Change my mind!
Smackdown here comes the pain

Wait what???? WWE 2K24 is in the list, but 2K14 not????
2k14 had a better showcase with all of the wrestlemanias arenas and more matches, better gameplay, more creation modes
They got the top two right! HCTP story was crazy you could go so many ways with the story and they has every single special and ALL the versions too on there too. Simpler times!
My Top 10 WWE games of all time:
1) WWF No Mercy
2) Smackdown Shut Your Mouth
3) SmackDown! 2 Know Your Role

Totally agreeeeeeed!!!!! No Mercy is the GOAT!!
HCTP #2 absolutely agree
For me wwf attitude deserved to be there
The N64 wrestling games are some of the best wrestling games ever made! I'm glad most people agree!
Where is WWE 13 & WWE 2K14 on the list? 😢
My tough about 2k14 is the ( Press R2 buttons game ) 🙄
Btw i'm played on legendary difficult
I remember playing & watching a little in school that you can customize your wrestler A to Z

9. Smackdown vs Raw 2010
10. WWE 2K24
WWE 22&23 deserve to be on the list or at least an honorable mention. WWe 2k24 is the greatest WWE game of all time to me. This is a great list by the way.

6. SVR 06
7. 2K22

10. SVR 08
How is there no "no mercy" lol at least
@@lou2315_is dated AF, we are not in the 2000s anymore
@CYB3R2K being "dated" doesn't matter. There's a reason why people still play games from the nes still snd arcade machines. Dated doesn't change the fact that it was great and still is.
Here Comes the Pain not being #1 is proof you're a monster...
No mercy is better by a bit
I'm surprised a 2K game was in the list since these underrated masterpieces are hated by fans because of nostalgia.
SvR 2007 was my first video game ever, it will always be #1 for me
My 1st pick is Smack down here comes the pain and second wwf arcade from sega
Unpopular opinion: WWE 2K14 & 2K16 > WWF No Mercy and WCW/NWO Revenge
WWE 2K24 came out a month ago, and it’s already top 3 all time? Insane
Also think a couple other 2Ks deserve some nods too
WWF: In Your House was also a very fun game, though it might not exactly fit as a Wrestling videogame but more as a 2D fighting style game but it should at least be an honorable mention.
WWE2K14 should be on this list.
Every smackdown game and smackdown vs raw game needs to be remastered for the PS5 and Xbox series x
No Mercy, SVR 2004, and HCTP are without a doubt the 3 best wrestling games. Could throw one of the WCW N64 games in there too
Ps2 era was magic to behold
It’s crazy how none of the Day Of Reckoning games made this list
Number 2 should be number 1 then it would be the perfect list
Then make your own list
Smackdown shut your mouth
Smackdown here’s comes the pain
SvR 06
Svr 07
SvR 08
SvR 10
SvR 11
these were the best wwe games
In my opinion:
1) most iconic WWE video game of all time: Here Comes the Pain
2) current best WWE video game: Smackdown vs Raw 2011
Hell yes. Here Comes the Pain and No Mercy was my childhood.
How was none of the “Day of Reckoning” games not even mentioned?? Those were dope too. 😏
Smackdown vs Raw 2006 not being on this list invalidates this whole list
there has been so many better wwe games then the original smackdown series with the rocks catch phrases, SVR2011, WW 13, WWE 2k14 and WWE 2k16 are far better games
Arcade wrestling games >> Simulation wrestling games
It always struck me as odd that in Smackdown 1 and 2 they made The Rock look like he's never done a bench press in his life.
2k in the list of best wrestling games is a lack of respect towards THQ at its peak
SmackDown! Great era for the PS1.
To me svr07 was the best and also it’s crazy day of reckoning wasn’t on here
The 3 BEST WWE Games:
1.WWF No Mercy
2.Smackdown Vs Raw 2010
3.Smackdown Vs Raw 2011.
WWE SvR 11/ WWE 13/ WWE 2k14 are my favorite games along with WWE All Stars
Was Smackdown vs Raw and Smackdown vs Raw 2006 exclusive to the PlayStation or am I incorrect
Not a bad list for WWE/WWF Games only. However it is missing some big time titles. WWE2K19, WWE Day of reckoning 2 and Smackdown vs Raw 2006.
The fact that WWE 2K24 is in the top 3 means that IGN only likes arcade games. WWE 2K19 is much better because of its more complex gameplay and body damage mechanics. Every hit is critical, and the character takes a long time to get up, making it much better-it’s like watching WWE. The body damage is very similar to SVR 2007 and 2008, so much so that Yukes only left the project after 2K19. After that, it’s been nothing but failure after failure.
1. WWE Pain 2. SmackDown 2 Know Your Role 3. SVR06 4. SVR07 5. SVR05
