The Simpsons Wrestling lets you pick from your favorite Simpsons characters to battle against each other in the squared circle. The Caddicarus Show is Jim Caddick's main show, in which he reviews games with a more exaggerated and comedic tone that his modern Wednesday reviews. From Seasons 1-10 he would decide whether a game deserves to be 'slaughtered' or 'salvaged', but as of Season 11 that, along with the old catchphrases, has stopped.

Gameplay
The game is loosely based on professional wrestling games, but more closely resembles a beat-'em-up. The game can be played in two modes: a tournament-style single-player mode or a grudge match where two players can interact. The matches take place in ten different detailed 3D locations from Springfield, such as the Simpsons' house, the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, the Kwik-E-Mart, and Moe's Tavern. Letters float around in the wrestling ring, and if a wrestler collects enough of them, they can taunt and temporarily become invincible. A round ends when one wrestler pins their opponent for a three count. Two rounds are needed to win a match.
Why it Sucks
- Unbalanced gameplay.
- Horrendous graphics. Not even cel-shading saves the graphics from being terrible.
- Terrible controls.
- God-awful AI.
- Ned Flanders is the most unfair opponent in the game. Not only does his lightning strike attack cause heavy damage, but he also instantly recovers after being pinned, not only giving him an unfair advantage but also forcing you to beat him twice just to win one round against him! To make matters even worse, you have to pin him four times just to win a match against him!
- The characters' voice lines constantly repeat, and will get on your nerves FAST!
- Many bugs and glitches.
- The gameplay is wrestling in-name-only and plays more like a horrible rip-off of Power Stone. The only part of wrestling this game has is that you have to pin your opponent after wearing down their health.
- No PC, PS2, N64 or Dreamcast versions exist, despite being released after their respective introductions.
- There is no way to block your opponent's attacks. Blocking is one of the most basic moves in a fighting game, and yet you can't program that move into a game released in 2001?!

Redeeming Qualities
- The first The Simpsons game for a PlayStation console as well as first 5th gen console release for the franchise, (not counting PC exclusive games like The Simpsons: Cartoon Studio and/or Virtual Springfield or Arcade exclusive The Simpsons Bowling running on PS1 Arcade hardware and GBC exclusive Night of the Living Treehouse of Horror.) As those releases are technically 5th Gen Simpsons games, just not console.
- Good voice acting from the original cast.
- Nice soundtrack.
- Characters interact differently when one opponent fights another, a feature that was ahead of its time.
- The idea was interesting, too bad it failed miserably!
