All the wrestlers are pastiches of real ones (except for the Amazon, obviously), yet there's no real problem re-releasing the game itself. As far as key staff is concerned, Masuda left Nintendo for TRY (the future Human Entertainment) decades ago.
Honestly, I personally would have preferred Fighter Hayabusa and/or Starman serving as the first wrestler character in Smash Bros. Either one of them also would have worked as Smash Ultimate's retro/obscure/WTF rep, really.
Masato Masuda also passed away.
Oh, wow! Really? Pro Wrestling got a re-release on the Switch Online Service?
It's an interesting idea, but I think it's a stretch. A lot of that's standard wrestling stuff, so it makes sense that Inciniroar would use it as a wrestling character.
That's fair, there's only so many wrestling moves, so it makes sense two characters built around that theme would have a bit of overlap in moveset.
Honestly in this day and age it would most likely come as a spinoff of a different nintendo franchise (super mario wrestlers being the obvious one, but I could see ARMs x Pro Wrestling working) with some Pro wrestling characters selectable.
I could see Nintendo picking it back up again, but not as a straight regualr wrestling game. I can picture it as something way more anime styled and over the top, almost a parody of wrestling games.
