The 3 worst and 2 best WWE video games

#4 Best WWE Game: WWE SmackDown: Here Comes the Pain

It's worth noting that, in terms of which WWE games are either Best or Worst, this list isn't in any particular order. Which is good because if we had to pick which of the two "Best" titles was best, this thing would have probably never gotten written.

WWE SmackDown: Here Comes the Pain was the fifth edition of the SmackDown series of games and was released in 2003. It was the first game to feature some now-iconic stars, such as John Cena and Batista, and legends from the past, like Roddy Piper and others. It also included different versions of wrestlers, such as The Undertaker, as he looked during his original WWF run.

The game featured a more in-depth grappling system but, in general, didn't add much compared to earlier releases. What it did, however, was improve upon and refine what came before it.

It's the game that - other than the other "Best" on this list - all other wrestling games since are compared to. It's also top in the topic of conversation of "old wrestling games that should be remade."

It also has a General Manager mode, something that hasn't been seen in one of the company's games since. It will finally make its triumphant return in March as part of 2K22.

There's only one other game on its level and we'll get to that shortly.
