For those with long memories that harken back to the days of Nintendo Famicom, you've probably played this game before but just forgot the title.
M.U.S.C.L.E. by Bandai.
Gameplay was sluggish, plot and story were essentially nil (not that it mattered), and the wrestlers were hopelessly short-limbed, clunky, and knew only about four kinds of moves: run, jump, knock, and roll.
If you'll notice, the reference to muscle(s) is only implied, as the graphics are too crude to show any real muscle definition. From afar the wrestlers even look like kids horsing around, unable to inflict any real pain to each other--which, come to think of it, is what real-life wrestlers are all about anyway.

Apparently, the M.U.S.C.L.E. game also has an accompanying toy line (whichever came first I'm not sure). The action figures (think specially-grooved and carved gum erasers resembling action figures--are 2 inches tall, rendered in flesh-tone pink (or some other monochromatic color), and have no movable joints, but are now considered as vintage, rare collector stuff.
In the Famicom game there's only 8 characters you can choose from, but the toy line features more than 200 of these angry-faced, teeth-grinding guys ready for action.
M.U.S.C.L.E., by the way, stands for Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere.
