Are there any good wrestling games available on any of Atari's systems ?

[JPF997]

Might be nostalgia kicking in but lately I've been wanting to play a good wrestling game, haven't played one in a long while, the wrestling games that I consider to be the gold standard are:

 

WWF No Mercy

Smackdown Here Comes The Pain

Smackdown vs Raw 2006 and 2007

WWE 2K 14

No

You can download Saturday Night Slam Masters (requires Capcom Arcade Stadium, which is free) on Steam on the new VCS if you use PC mode.

I own a book detailing every wrestling game ever made, and indeed I don't think there are any good wrestling games on Atari systems. To begin with, a vast majority of the good games were made in Japan. Midway made a few good ones, but not before SEGA and Nintendo dominated the market.

I'm surprised no one ever snagged the license to this. I practically saw this game in the majority of the arcades around this era.

Atari grabbed that license and the one for the sequel, Mania Challenge.  They released Mat Mania Challenge for the 7800.

Title Match Pro Wrestling for 2600 blew my mind when I first played it.  I was astounded by how many moves could be done with a standard one button joystick, and how well it played.
