Damn. Forgot about BT&H. Had them on repeat back in the day.
 
The Future of Wrestling Games
-----------------------------
Based on the various stories going around lately, activity in the wrestling
video game scene is picking up. As I write this section (September 17th, 2019),
the following details are known:

Fire Pro Wrestling World continues to recieve new downloadable content,
which hopefully means the game will be sticking around for a while.

Yuke's wishes to make a wrestling game without the WWE license.
They've created some neat animation tech that they couldn't use for the WWE2K
games for whatever reason. Since a lot of my problems with Yuke's games are
related to the relatively quick turnaround of the WWE games, this can only be
a good thing.

2K has taken over primary development of the WWE2K series.
I don't know how this is going to play out, but in the long run, if 2K manages
to reach the same level of detail that they put into the NBA2K games, this could
be a good thing.
2019/11/08 edit: LMAOOOOOOOOOO holy **** wow, how can you **** it up *THIS* badly

All Elite Wrestling have their eyes set on making a wrestling game, with more
information being released near the end of 2019. This is the primary point of
interest for AKI fans, as they've stated multiple times they'd like to bring
that style of game back.

Various independently developed wrestling games are in development or have been
released recently, including, but not limited to:
* Gackdaw's Ultraviolent game
* RetroSoft Studios' RetroMania Wrestling
* the CHIKARA game
* Virtua Combat '96 by JamStubbs
* Spot Callerz
* and some others that I can't recall the names of at the moment. Sorry.

There's also this hack, of course, but it's not a commercial endeavor
and doesn't particularly belong in the above list.

On another note, can you believe it's been just over two years since
the Steam Early Access release of Fire Pro Wrestling World? Time flies.
