Maybe. But based on a pure replay value nothing beats Wrestlefest.

I don't know. There was another wrestling game around in the past (maybe a few years before??) that was pretty much a rip off of WWF characters. They had a giant mountain type like Andre, a Snuka type in lion clothe that did high flying moves, a power muscle type, etc... you wrestled in tag teams for like 5 matches before reaching the last match that was for the championship. I think the 4th match along the way (sometimes randomly) was a steel cage match. You could throw the opponent into the ropes but they would bounce off the cage instead.

Wish I could remember the name of it.

No question the best wrestling arcade game ever.
