5 Star Wrestling (2015) was an indie title released for PlayStation 3 that aimed to deliver a deep grappling system with unique mechanics. Each wrestler featured distinctive move sets, counters, and limb-targeting options that encouraged strategic play. Though featuring parody versions of real wrestlers, its mechanics were praised for detail and depth.

The game stood out for its focus on simulation-style gameplay, rewarding patience and timing. However, limited presentation and a small roster held it back from mainstream appeal. Despite flaws, it gained a cult following for pushing innovation in wrestling gameplay outside of big-budget WWE titles.
