Wrestling's influence on video games

[mrken12]

What are some examples of wrestling inspiring certain characters, storylines, etc. in non-WWE or WCW video games?

Some obvious examples:

Andre the Giant inspiring the character of Hugo Andore in the Final Fight games

Ultimate Warrior inspiring the character of Abadede in Streets of Rage

Persona 3 and 4 had a Hulk Hogan looking shadow as an enemy. They showed up in different variations.

He even did the Hogan "You!" point.

Wolf from Virtua Fighter

A wrestling character who uses the F5 and has the Road Warriors costume as an alternate costume

 

[Lord Scion]

Angel from the King of Fighters had the Rock bottom, People's Elbow and the float over DDT as her specials.

Craig Marduk from Tekken was literally a rip of Nathan Jones.

 

[Cartier Murphy]

Isaac Frost from Fight Night Champion (who was so fukking difficult to beat) always seemed inspired by Randy Orton to me.

Played Gex back in the day, obviously the cover.

But also there was a boss fight in here where you'd fight a wrestler named Rock Hard(pause) inside of a wrestling ring.
