Legends of Wrestling (PlayStation 2, 2001) CIB, Very Good
Legends of Wrestling (2001, PlayStation 2) was Acclaim’s love letter to the golden age of the squared circle — a throwback brawler that let you finally pit the greats against each other in over-the-top matches. Forget just the current roster of WWE — this was about dream bouts with Hulk Hogan, Bret “The Hitman” Hart, Jerry “The King” Lawler, and a lineup of legends who defined pro wrestling’s glory days.
Released in December 2001, it kicked off a short but memorable series that focused on larger-than-life personalities and arcade-style grappling. With a roster of 40+ wrestling icons, authentic entrances, and exaggerated gameplay, it delivered pure fan-service for anyone who grew up on 80s and 90s wrestling mania.
Why this one still body-slams its way into collections:
- Legendary Roster: Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Jimmy Snuka, Jerry Lawler, and many more step into the ring.
- Arcade Energy: Fast, flashy gameplay that leans into spectacle over simulation.
- Retro Presentation: Classic arenas, ring intros, and commentary that drip with old-school vibes.
- Collector’s Appeal: First game in the Legends of Wrestling trilogy, making it a must for wrestling game fans.
Legends of Wrestling for PlayStation 2 is pure wrestling nostalgia — a mix of arcade chaos and hall-of-fame talent that only the early 2000s could deliver.
