Pro Wrestling for the NES is the greatest wrestling game of all time.
The most ironic part of this comment is that Fire Prowrestling is--and always has been--the antithesis to the button-mashing games which came before it. Pro Wrestling for NES, the WWF games for SNES/Genesis, hell, even Neo-Geo's 3 Count Bout all fall into that category.
In any case, if anyone's still confused as to why Fire Prowrestling is so popular, I'd have to say that it starts with the simple, technical gameplay and moves-on from there.
