I still play this time to time .. it's one of the few wrestling games that captures the speed of 80's wrestling. Like this is not a modern style flips and grapples game.. this is a legit game engine based on guys that stopped watching wrestling when the territories died lol
@@Seanomaniacwrestlingreviews yeh it's a cluster fuck of a game but you gotta get into that 80's mindset. Slow it down.. real down. I'm patiently waiting for you to tackle ASWP2 ... I did a texture mod of that on Reddit a month back and been working on it daily. I'm close as to a finished texture pack from Japanese into English and alternative attires and arenas etc. So if you wanna tackle that in future hit me up
@@PETEYTHECLOWN I dont use Reddit so that's the first I heard of a texture pack being made but sounds cool, definitely sent it my way when it is finished^^
@@Seanomaniacwrestlingreviews that's fine this seems more like a time killer than a serious wrestler. Like play it for a bit, but dedicate to WWE games over this
This game WAS TERRIBLE! HOLY SHIT, Acclaim should have more time to perfect the game, but because of the loan/money problem, plus the low sales they made, I guess they put themselves in an unfortunate position.
@@Seanomaniacwrestlingreviews they could have kept the grappling system from before, and add the new animations and moves as well, take away the commentary, and fix the audio for the announcer when introduced the wrestlers, and fix the ai so that the opp. doesn't get up after every finisher.
@@beefwellington5327 My advice is always try it yourself because as you can see, some people in the comments liked it but it was simply not for me, way too slow, never been a big fan of the Acclaim wrestling games!
The game is based on legends, wrestling back in the day was much simpler so the finishing moves were much less exciting and nowadays, like you said many of these finishers are just regular moves done by everyone but back then, wrestling was a very different thing
I've always wanted a game like this, and frankly, I think this game and Legends of Wrestling 2 succeed in what they wanted to accomplish.
i forgot about these games looks at those graphics and for ps2 wow looks great
Shame the gameplay is atrocious haha

Well you are a better man than me to still be playing this, this was a tough one to capture footage for!

I think it a fun and funny game, Just because of the glitches. 😅
Lol remember the npsies it makes when doing any groin related attack? I always remember the coconut sound it made. THUMPPP!! LOL
Bob Orton’s finisher in the RKO….nice.
One final thing?
Does Showdown Challenge only let me do 70s 80s and 90s at choice?
Or all in a row?
Also any unlockables?
You have to start in the 70s and work your way through the decades
Nope no unlockables

They would have never perfected it even if they had unlimited time and money haha

The game sucks? Damn, I got hyped af for it after seeing that roster.

Where are the finishers? All I saw was regular everyday moves that today's superstars do over and over.

Not sure if that’s a genuine question, or you’re trying to shit on wrestling of the past, or trying to shit on the current product 😂
