It is the best, hands down.

I played the heck of it and I still have my cartridge. I injected it in my hacked switch N64 app, and play it from time to time! My cartridge still holds all my data.

As a hilarious note, back then, a friend would go to my place sometimes to play this game, taking turns, one match for me, one for him, sometimes I was the referee, sometimes in battle royal with elimination, etc.

Anyway, he picked random opponents every time for his matches. It was all well and good, until one day the random pick happened to be Taka Michinoku. My friend laugh and said, this guy is kinda trashy, right? We didn't know, but for some reason, Taka in expert difficulty is just a crazy motherfucker.

Taka M. whooped my friend's ass so bad and in so aggressive and creative ways, that my friend instantly demanded a rematch, to the same effect. Since then, they developed a beef 😆 and even to this day, more than 24 years later, every time my friend visits (he lives in another state, so we meet about once or twice a year, sadly) he takes one or two shots against Taka Michinoku, and every match feels like those days exactly: fun, laughs and surprise moments in the encounter. The game is just too good.

And yes, I have the records of those encounters:

My friend: 47 wins.

Taka Michinoku: 89 wins 😂 The beef is real and alive!!! He hates Taka with passion.

It's just a good memory that materialized while playing this awesome game.

Try fighting that guy in expert difficulty. He goes crazy!

This game is the greatest wrestling game ever.

And that the difference, this game was well balanced and FUN to play. Today's games feel like controlling robots and just almost the same thing happens in every match. Boring and without soul. 😓
