Chris Buffa (Modojo): Compared to consoles, wrestling games don't fair nearly as well on handhelds. With this in mind, we can probably count the number of quality grapplers on two hands and still have fingers remaining.
That said, WWE All Stars is quite good. THQ shoved at least 85-90 percent of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 title onto Nintendo's handheld, complete with impressive 3D graphics and quality audio that features commentary from Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler.
What classic WWF/WWE wrestling games are worth playing now? Quite a few, actually.

WCW/NWO World Tour and Wrestlemania 2000 were peak wrestling games. Back when wrestling was at the top of pop culture, everyone in school would watch. The gameplay is phenomenal and create your own characters opened up the door to WCW vs WWF. What a time!
The best wrestling games range from all-time classics on the N64 all the way up to some surprising new hitters you should check out.
I was always partial to the arcade wrestling games like Saturday night slam masters, wwf superstars, wrestlefest, wrestlemania, wrestle war and then a NES classic... pro wrestling. By the time the N64 era of wrestling games happened, I wasnt into wrestling much anymore (tv & games).
Starman was awesome. I also remember a tan dude with bright yellow hair. Good times!
Virtual Pro Wrestling 1 & 2 > Most games on that list.
Also, WCW/NWO Revenge should be #2 minimum.
WWE 2k13 thanks to the WWE Attitude Mode. Followed by WWE Attitude and ECW Hardcore Evolution.
also: ECW! ECW! ECW!
