Tecmo Pro Wrestling is not on this list, but it deserves a mention. Its grapple mechanic was great. At this point in video game history the winner of a grapple was random. Tecmo created the first skill based grapple mechanic.

Tecmo really does have quite the library, originally running strong for three straight decades (80s, 90s, 00s), and obviously after the Koei Tecmo merger they've continued to put out a diverse bunch of interesting games in the 2010s and 2020s:
