I gotta agree with Kevin. Allowing a game to be more than one genre allows itself more aspects to work with. Game Dev Tycoon acknowledges this as a mechanic of the growing complexity of games as the industry progressed. A favorite example among one of my friend groups is that NASCAR Thunder 2004 had RPG elements. That is a hilarious sentence but somehow the game was better for it. Also, shout out to Starman in the title card. He was my favorite in Pro Wrestling for the NES.

I wonder if there is any games/media on actual sport wresteling? as in Olympic/Greaco-Roman and so on.

There are tons of games that fall under 2 or more genres, I don't see why this would be any different than say... Borderlands being both an RPG and an FPS

It sounds like it's been around long enough and has enough unique quirks to be its own genre.
