Also they got promoters from story mode you can use as playable wrestlers.
Also if you had a UK version of the game, you get 4 uk only wrestlers that appear in the game.
As a bit of a fun fact, the Legends of Wrestling game series was originally supposed to be an ECW game series but WWE bought ECW so closing their doors this coming up with the Legends of Wrestling series. While the gameplay wasn’t all that, in terms of this game, Legends of Wrestling 2, I personally felt this was the best one of the series. I liked the soundtrack, they even had rules where you can make the matches antigravity, slow-mo, speed, etc, plus a way to get coins aside from winning matches within story mode is you can gamble for coins in which could be used for certain unlockables. Some unlockables are thru coins or some are exclusive to where you have to play a certain territory with story mode to get certain wrestlers.
🧢 The first legends of wrestling came out in 2000 before wwe bought ecw
@@lloydstanford6070 now you cappin, Legends of Wrestling came out in December 2001, ECW was gone by then. Plus you wanna know why RVD and Sabu were in the 1st legends of wrestling, they were included in the game because at the time, it was gonna be an ECW game but once WWF bought the rights in 2000, closing the doors for ECW, Acclaim games, decided to change the game into a game about Wrestling Legends. So since at the time, RVD wasn’t exclusively signed to WWE during the alliance days thus allowing RVD to appear in the late 2001 game. Sabu was able to anyway since he wasn’t really WWE at the time thus leading him to appear in all 3 games while RVD only appeared the 1st one since he signed to WWE later.
@@phantasmwolvez4095 you're right my bad bro
After this series of games, no matter how good or bad they were, WWE put the SMASH on this and games like it by signing Legends deals and putting Legends into their games.
I still remember WWF/E putting the Road Warriors R.I.P into Smackdown Here Comes The Pain. And others (but they're my All-Time favorite Tag-Team).
After Showdown Legends of Wrestling 3, WWF/E really made sure Legends weren't on any other video game for a long, long time.
Sure, there was a TNA and AAA Pro-Wrestling video games in the U.S., but WWE was not allowing any games like this with stacked Legends rosters anymore.
Crazy you don't know psycho sid
After watching the movie “Iron Claw” and doing some research Kevin is the only still alive. There was also another brother named Chris that wasn’t in the movie at all. 6 brothers and Kevin only one still here.
It is heart breaking to hear Kevin's interview from WWE retrospective about WCCW and the Von Erich family. "In a matter of years I went from the middle child with 5 brothers, to an only child."
You late 😂
Sid Vicious is Pyscho Sid
Fun fact: Sid crapped his pants during his match with Taker at Wrestlemania 13 😂.
Taker had to deliver a tombstone piledriver 🤢🤮
The game moved and played like WWF Attitude and Warzone. Never really was a fan of it but liked the fact that the legends got some love
Moved like warzone, not so much played like it. The grappling system was good on paper, not great in execution. The reversals though, excellent idea eventually used in much later wwe games.
Showdown LOW looked and sounded the best but the gamplay sucked because they dumbed down the grappling system, ruined how finishers worked, and the CAS was garbage on terms of simply selecting colors on hair. LOW 2 was the best of the three. Wasn't great, but had lots of ambitious ideas that just all fell flat, but coul have been great if a better gameplay system was made and more polished
@@jimmyrolls37 Yes. This is better than what I said 😅
But no, you’re definitely more accurate. So much potential but at least it was something different for wrestling fans to play
By the same company.
Acclaim refused to change engines
That's why?
Bret “ the hitmayne “ hart 😂
Lmaoooo
I think that’s why it was called Legends of Wrestling. I don’t think it mattered what company they was with. Love the content bro, keep that grind goin. Much love
The gameplay and controls were bad
@@waqaskaash7319it was actually pretty good considering it was Acclaim. Their wrestling games prior to this where actually worse.
Jimmy Superfly “Killa” I mean Snuka 🤣💀
I've been playing the carrer mode for Hulk Hogan and Dynamite Kid. The reason for that is if you play and complete the career mode with Hulk Hogan, you unlock Bruno Sammartino. With Dynamite Kid, you unlock British Bulldog.
I've already completed Bret Hart's career to get Owen Hart.
A little tip for people who want to play this game. If you go into a storyline to be a part of a tag team, be prepared for a massive difficulty spike.
27:25 man I know andre was not doin all that 😂
Acclaim doesn't know how Andre works.😂
😂😂
Back in the day wrestling was Poppin in different regions I miss this game im 29 this brings back memories
If you are 29 you weren’t around for the prime of the territories. I’m 38 and I wasn’t around for any of that era😂
@@joshuagumpert8910he’s saying the game brings him back memories at 29 lool
Like how the mob boss is worried
About you being with his daughter.😂
One of the people in the region is
Also a referee.
I remember renting this from blockbuster and not knowing who like 90% of the roster was. So I created Randy Orton and gave him a cutter as a finisher and played as the Legend Killer gimmick lol
9:05 It wasn't that he wasnt with WCW or ECW it wasn't like now ,back then there were things called "territories" like mid south wrestling and what happened was Vince McMahon senior started buying all of these territories.. he did it by simply buying the talent out which results in inevitably the territory collapsing and having to sell...long story short Vince McMahon bought all of the territories and was the only top dog until Ted Turner decided he wanted to compete and managed to buy one of the few remaining territories.. then it became WWF and WCW as a corporation war... But first Vince bought the entire competition.
No actually,Vince Sr didn't want to touch the regional promotions. When Vince Jr took over, he started buying all the regional promotions out.
True@@supersasukemaniac
This is one of my favorites! The career ain’t bad either
I think one of the Von Erics signed for a short period with the WWF, but they are NWA and ECW before it became Extreme and not East, I could be wrong though... The Von Erics are legend of just wrestling. They wrestle in all promotions and made an impact.
Kerry was the one who signed.
loving all the content that's dropping! Keep up that grind gang! ❤🔥
Just came across this channel and subbed. Me and my brothers grew up in Texas and watched World Class every Saturday. I remember when he came back from the Sportatorium one night and was excited about Mike Von Erich making his debut.
Thank u so much for subbing brother! And I’m learning more about the von Erich’s. Super sad story man
A "oversized skateboard" Andre could never😂😂😂
I had a lot of fun with legend of wrestling 1 as a kid back in 2001, roster, gameplay & options 💪🏾
I think this game was it's own production i don't think it was tied to any wrestling company
Every wrestling game that has authentic wrestler names and likeness is tied to the company. It’s illegal to do that on its own without having licensing.
@3MGTV I know that but I'm just saying it's not tied to one specific company
@@3MGTVhe meant it wasn’t tied to any wrestling promotion
Absolutely love this game played it a lot when I was a kid ❤
I watch tray play this game a couple of days ago
I’m really enjoying watching you play all these different wrestling games ngl I’ve never even heard about a lot of them only ever really played the Smackdown vs Raw games on PS2
Terry Funk is the og of hardcore
R.I.P.😢
Never thought I get to beat up on
The late great Andy Kaufman.🤣
I’m having deja vu I just watched Tray play this the other day😂 Would be fun to watch you guys try it lol he was raging at the cage match too!
I don't know why, but when you said, "That' was a little' ghetto", at 10:00 it induced laughter from within me.
35:00 I'll tell u wat u do, do a one v one and when the match starts don't look at the wrestlers.. don't look at anything but your name bar and just practice reversing everything. Don't worry about offense just do one mach like this and you'll have the reverse stuff down np. Of course u won't win but that's not the goal the goal is to reverse
It's funny,Hogan came out to his WCW theme.
keep playing all these retro games, you putting us on!
Showdown is the best to me the move set is insane. But the acclaim games are rough gameplay wise edit: at the time all of the legends were free agents working indies so this was passion project of sorts from acclaimed.
Was the Last straw.
You half to give Acclaim condolences
For not giving up on doing wrestling games even if some did suck.😂
Even when they lost the WWF license
They still kept on doing wrestling games.
Those guy's were quite the trooper.
Another thing, you may notice that with entrance music, some are made for just the game, some were inspired by actual songs whether it’s based on the actual wrestlers songs or if you have someone like Hogan, some may be able to get themes from irl. Hogan has his WCW theme, American Made. I’ll say tho, some theme songs are hilarious, cool, unique or huh. Terry Funks theme is probably the best one. For funny, Sid Vicious theme was random af. and there’s others
I remember a friend of mine back then told me to not buy it bc I could risk having a Latino rage-quit Heat 3:42 Apparently It is wanted that Bron takes his family name and maybe "Breakker" as middle ring name
This was not a WWE produced game so it didn't matter what company each wrestler was with
Great game. I sunk hours of gameplay into it back in the day. I really liked the career mode (though it was difficult). The roster was great and I enjoyed the reversal system. My dad and I would bond over it, playing ladder matches. He would usually pick Roddy Piper as that was his favorite wrestler. Also, it had a banging soundtrack featuring the likes of TRAPT and The Used. Good stuff. Glad to see you enjoyed it, as well!
This was one of my favorite games. Not so much the gameplay, rather the roster of classics. I'm 43 and these guys were my heroes! I still have over 100 VHS tapes full of old WWF,WCW,NWA and many other federations. Now I just need a VCR to watch them! 😅
As an avid wrestling game player of the past, these are some of my favorite games.. i played 1 and when i got to two i already had the controls down packed! Certain moves have longer times to reverse than others for sure! Showdown was REALLYYY GOOD too!
Its for sure a learning curve because most newer wrestling games from SVR forward are all about hitting the reverse as soon as you grapple or strike.. where this was more of a “feel” on when to reverse.. almost a muscle memory kinda thing 😂😂 it gets to a point you dont even have to look at the meter frfr
3:05 Vince McMahon and WWE had absolutely NO PART in the Legends of Wrestling trilogy. This was independently funded by Acclaim alone.
The controller scheme was so ass on this game! I would create a superstar and host custom referee tag matches where I would grief the other CPU wrestlers (and get my ass kicked in the process lol).
The roster is certainly the best of its time period. Loved seeing Eddie Guerrero in this game when it released. I remember asking my pop to rent video games and this was one of my first picks in '03.
Brian Pillmans son wrestles on NXT
Was in AEW for a few years before that too
We knew that.
The game is hard the controls can be sluggish at time and take time to get use to… and try turning the difficulty down while you practice and fyi the sheik is Sabu’s uncle.
I came here for the backyard wrestling game video's and stayed here for all your other wrestling games and NBA street video's amazing work. Earned another sub here.
Thanks fam!!
@@3MGTV anytime, keep up the grind fam.
Dawg you funny asf 😂😂😂 had me dying all night. I remember playing this game when I was younger and it made me this mad too back then 🤣🤣🤣
🔥 content Fam
Man I used to love this game! I still have it on disc for ps2 but it doesnt work anymore 😩, one of the coolest rosters out there tho and the story mode is 🔥🔥theres a lot of unlockables this was one of the last games wit Owen Hart in it at the time.
This was my era been watching wrestling since 88 I remember this game and all the characters #classic game 💪🏾
Career mode in LOW2 was the best honestly
I loved this game! memories there! A full roster of absolute legends
Legends of Wrestling 2 is my favorite
This man is a legend i love these vids!!!!
One thing:” learn to counter with the X!!!!!”
Lol at Penzer doing the announcements on the character select. 😂
I remember playing “no mercy”. When I saw Legends of Wrestling I immediately bought it. Want to say for the PS2. I played it for like 7 minutes and cut it off, hooked my 64 back up and played No mercy
The soundtrack is fire. I remember renting this all the time
Yoooo I totally forgot about this game!! Brings back a lot of good memories 🔥
The third one is my favorite out of all 3 games...but I love them all
Eddie coke face twitch during walk out was crazy
David von Erich was the second brother to pass away the first brother to pass away was jack von Erich he was 7 yrs old he was electrocuted
Legit cryinggggggggggg at that ass whooping Andre put on you bruh!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Man I used to play this game faithfully a true classic 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
No one tell him about Legends Of Wrestling 3.
What's up V
I remember buying this day one playing it and raging especially against Jerry Lawler in the career mode the music was hyped love Headstrong 🎵 this was my favourite one
Yup used to play this with my cousin on his GameCube back in the day when I used to sleep over. Be up all night taking turns on career to win the belt lol
I loved this game growing up. It was a good alternative when you got tired of playing smackdown
The intro video to this game was undefeated 🔥🔥🔥
Barron Von Raschke was literally my grandparents neighbor. His finisher was the “The Claw” supper nice guy. After he retired from wrestling he was substitute teacher and bus driver for our town lol.
Yeah I played both legend of wrestling games both challenging but my favorite one is Part 2 Legends of Wrestling 👍 thank you for this Exclusive classic flashback game much appreciate it 😎💯
The way they crawl to the ropes in this game f'n rules. And lol at "Hey, heyy!!" when Andre was beating the shit out of the cage door. 😀
This was one of the very last game. Me and my dad played before he died. I was 12 years old.
I'm sorry for your loss of your dad my 🙏🏿🕊️
You have to hold the buttons down to perform the grabs and climbs how it was back in the day I believe
The nasty boyz😝😝😝😝😝 you don’t see them in no wrestling games.. it kinda cool to see them in this
Should play wwe all stars fantasy warfare which you didnt do
I remember playing this game and writing down the championships on a belt and watch the matches and “change titles on paper
Always like when you win the wrestler
Would just get back up and watch you
Celebrate.
He doesn't even stay down.😂
Hot Stuff Eddie Gilbert was ECW's booker before they were Extreme and memphis legend, then the Nasty Boys Knobbs and Saggs are the locked characters. Lots of wrestlers are from the 80s and 90s. Sid Vicious was Sid Justice and wrestled Hogan in wrestlemania 7, then came back to wwf in mid 90s as Sycho Sid. He also attacked Arn Anderson with a pair of scissors when he was in wcw, Sid was also a 4 horseman
I loved working the territories. This one of favs. But yeah some matches are hard as fuq
Mmmmm, that classic Acclaim control scheme nightmare. I remember it well. I wish I didn't. I still love this series, though.
🤣🤣🤣 @31:03 that rant was hilarious I know you broke a few controllers as a kid 😂😂😂 “this is bullshit”!!
Jimmy superfly killer 😂 bro is a menace
I spit my drink when i saw you bump yo head into the turnbuckle and you turn back and Andre chokeslams you. That random head bump cost you the damn match 😂😂😂😂
You gotta play that career mode bro that would be fire 💯🔥
PLAY SHOWDOWN I PROMISE AS A LEGENDS OF WRESTLING STAND ITS THE BEAT ROSTER EVER IN A WRESTLING GAME
Also in these games you want to punch and stuff to bring down they health and than do the throws and specials they stop reversing the lower they health
This is a game mostly featuring stars of the 70s and 80s . Most wrestled for vinces dad and in the territories before wwe took them over in the mid 80s
The suplexes were beautiful 🥹
The Reversal in Legends of Wrestling 2 is crazy but once u get the hang of countering your opponent it can be frustrating The countering in that wrestling game u should do a career down the road would be a interesting video 👍 no pressure
Look wccw there is a bunch of episodes of on CZcams.
The von Eric’s and Baron Von all use the iron claw fritz invented the hold the baron stole that move later since then it’s bin mainly used by German wrestlers . The last locked guy after the last von Eric is Captain Lou Albano . In legends of wrestling show down the roster is unlocked from the beginning.
I also like there battle royals how to throw someone over the ropes and the flip back in and their tag moves double team style is simple and cool i miss this game
Like how the blood physics are crazy
It almost covers the whole ring.
There are only a few licenses entrance themes in this game. Majority of them were just random tunes
yeaaa dude i had this for game cube and played the hell out of it growing up
This shi nostalgic gang🤯
The original game was said to have barbed wire rope and scaffold matches and neither happened. Legends of Wrestling 2 was eh but included more match types. Showdown: Legends of Wrestling, the third game in the series, was actually a lot of fun
The way this man is really going through all these characters acting like he knows what he’s talking about
I only knew a few, this wasn’t my era. I know what I’m talking about though. 💪
The design of the wrestlers was meant to look like the old wrestling toys.
I love LOW2. My only complaint is that movesets are lacking.
Oh and the reason Eddie was on LOW was because he was fired by WWE and he signed a deal with the game makers to be on here. And then a little bit later he resigned with WWE.
There is no specific wrestling company for the game. Its basically about the old days and territories.
Bronyou gotta play ECW hardcore revolution. Got plenty of memories with that one.
So, I wanna get to doing some of these sorts of vids. How do you use a PC for this stuff? I upload a bit on my PS4, and still have my PS2 from back in the day.
Legend has it that the original Legends of Wrestling was supposed to be the next ECW game but once they went out of business the engine was used to make these games. Probably explains why Sabu and RVD were in the game.

Very few of the theme songs in this are legit so no copyright strike should be worried about
But that in match soundtrack...
Yeah this game was ridiculously hard! I gotta try and buy them all again cause I had them on Xbox back in the day
That game was soooo good. It was nice to have a wrestling game separate from WWE Smackdown Vs Raw at the time. I'm not saying it was as good as Here comes the pain, only that it was refreshing to have something different and fun.
