Think im one of the few that actually liked this game. The roster was brilliant, I admit I liked the gameplay, They features territories which I loved, and the soundtrack was great.
+bluebreckskier the one downside of this game I thought was the way to unlock other wrestlers. I had a hard time with the gambling thing to unlock Owen Hart. Liked how you could defend titles in the game it's too bad they didn't have the graphics to have them walk out with the belt. Kinda wish I still had the game. If WWE made a game like this with only legends(not LOWM, letdown with that game) I'd be in heaven. I think they have a lot of these guys under a legends deal so I don't think it would be impossible.
This is easily in my top 5 wrestling games of all time. While I did like the roster from the third game more (more wrestlers that I grew up watching like Macho Man and Jake the Snake) this was over all a better game, and how I discovered some of my favorite legendary wrestlers. If I were to create my perfect wrestling game, a lot of the features would be from this one.
Rob Van Dam was in the first game because it was originally meant to be an ECW game. When ECW went under they changed the game but kept RVD's player model.
Hey also was only in the first one and not the second because he signed a WWF contract and was an active wrestler. They tried to have everyone in this game not an active wrestler at the time.
I hope they remaster this game and add few more fallen legend's and give a decent gameplay so that fans understand how misunderstood this game is! I know akklaim is dead since years still I wish there was a hope to do something!
Man I still even have Legends Of Wrestling 2 On Nintendo GameCube and Pretty much This game is still a lot of fun and I know Legends Of Wrestling 2 Is not a WWE video game and me and my cousin we used to play this game a lot and it is pretty fun after all I mean this game has all of the WWE Legends and WCW Legends and ECW Legends as well but my GameCube is really messed up for the minute so I can't even play this game for the minute
GOD, This game Was Absolute SHIT! The best thing about this game is the roster, the Music & the Use of weapons & blood! It's so weird & yet awesome seeing all these classic wrestlers be involved in more violent & gruesome matches!
Big Daddy Kendo and Heystacks are British Wrestling Royalty were huge names in the UK Heystacks went over to the states for a while he was in the WCW in 96 under the ring name Loch Ness hell he was even a member of The Dungeon of Doom but his run in WCW was cut really short due being diagnosed with Cancer so he returned to the UK

I loved it too! One of my first wrestling games even though most wrestlers were before my time (not my dad's though).

+Nabil Shihabi Undertaker Wasn't Even In This Fucking Game Which Is Sad And Pathetic
They couldn't use any character's that we're under contract with WWE. They would've been sued

I love George the animal steele's theme
It's the reason I'm watching this video
David Penzer was one of the best announcers ever in pro wrestling
agreed
And Gary Capetta were awesome announcers.
I prefer Howard Finkel
Most emotive
It was AWESOME that they included British legends like Big Daddy, Mick McManus and Kendo Nagasaki.
I wish Adrian Street was in the game.
What an amazing roster! So many greats from so many different promotions.
And generatotions.👏👏👏
Good god, I forgot about Big Daddy's appearance in this game 😂😂
He's only in PAL version i think.
Rob Van Dam was in the first game because it was originally meant to be an ECW game. When ECW went under they changed the game but kept RVD's player model.
ہمبھیہیںجنسےپ
I Wonder If Rob Van Dam Knew Anything About This
so that explains why Eddie Gilbert had the camera up close to his face in the entrance.
Hey also was only in the first one and not the second because he signed a WWF contract and was an active wrestler. They tried to have everyone in this game not an active wrestler at the time.
Because he wasn't under a WWE contract in the first game.
So much nostalgia..
Hulk Hogans WCW Theme AWESOME!!!
Awesome! They used Hogan's WCW theme!
RIP Shirley Crabtree and any other legends. Good times with this game.
They were all true great wrestlers.
Roddy piper is dead also
and so is Andy Kaufman :(
That terry funk music though
right lol
Is it just me, or is George Steele's entrance theme in this game is much better than his IRL?
I don't think he had any theme songs in his entire career...
@@KirbyVanPelt Maybe if you count the Oddities theme as he was briefly with them on WWE TV in 1998.
@@therealmaskedheel maybe, but not in general.
sounds like WWE stole acclaims fake Bret Hart music for The Hart Dynasty theme music.
3:28 That's What Bret Hart Actually Does In His Game Entrances
There is distinctively less HUUUUUUUU-huuuuuuuuuuuu in Penzer's voice.
A god tier soundtrack
Ha I loved the trash talking thing on the selection screen on thunder :D
Rest In Peace To All The Legends most are Hall of farmers
@Tristan Wassman I Love How In Showdown: Legends Of Wrestling They Used Sting's Actual Crow Theme From WCW Since It Was Recognizable
Man I can't believe how long it's been scince I played this, I need to find a refurbished Original Xbox
NeckbeardOutlaw how much will you be willing to buy it for....
Go on ebay they have a lot
Or you can just download Dolphin emulator and find the Gamecube version to download. I play this game on my nvidia shield all the time. Pretty fun.
Great memories
I want see a legend of Wrestling for the new video games console
This game brings back memories!!!!
scott steiner theme in this game is awesome! GO BLUE!
rip dr. death
Kinda ironic that Mr Wonderful's theme here was actually Gorgeous George's theme in WCW XD
Fun Fact
Also The theme of The Maestro from WCW.
HOT STUFF
HOT STUFF YEAH YEAH
6:51 giving Giant Haystacks thr funeral march as his theme song, when he had been dead for a few years at that point...
Imagine the no selling and backstage politicing of a hulk vs big daddy match
It's based on the old Steiner Brothers theme, which I think was the Detroit University fight song.
no. it was Michigan's
Lol Detroit University
University of Michigan
Bob Backlund looks like Ken from Toy Story 2. Dang.
Sid Vicious' theme sounds like something from a 90s Nickelodeon cartoon
I was born in 1998 and have watched probably every ECW, wcw, awa, wccw, tna , WWF/e match. but I have never heard off big daddy whatever his name is
jay WARE British wrestling
Brian Pillman in this looks more like Harley Race than Harley Race does... LOL
I remember this game it consists number of the greatest legends
I wish I could find the song Snuka used in this game on youtube.
lmao Big Papa Pump had some funny theme music... man how did Acclaim do that? All they had to do was add police sirens, but they choose that instead!?
why do you hate the victors?
Eddie Guerrero's Theme Was Also In All Star Baseball 2005 Also By Acclaim
Well Gaming Palooza Empire fyi Scott Steiner wasn't even part of the legendary Steiner clan. Scott was fresh on his singles run without Rick Steiner
2:47 me on my way to your moms house
Always loved Bob Orton's Theme in this Game, wish I could find it...
TheOne&Only Deanzinski Now If Undertaker Was In This Taker Would Have An Remixed Version Of Grim Reaper (1994)
i always wnted to get more coins specially the red and blue ones lol
this game is amazing nice one acclaim
I had so much trouble with this game's controls.. But it was sure memorable
Hulk Hogan's theme is the theme of WCW before he join amd created nWo with Kevin Nash and Scott Hall
iv either missed him accidently
he is an unlockable character I ONLY DO DEFAULTS WITH MY ALL WRESTLER ENTRANCE VIDS
or he is not in the game
5:07 la mejor entrada de todas
Ah, Eddie Gilberts theme. I prefer it to the real song I think
11:22
Mil Mascaras, I think he's related to Alberto Del Rio
I think he is in real life. Alberto del Rio is mil mascaras nephew
This is the 2nd and last time Hogan used his WCW American made theme song since WCW backstage assault
LMAO at scott stiener 4:17
Lmfao that music!
***** what the hell is wrong with steiners face lol
wrong song lpl
go blue! go Scott steiner!
Better suits early 90s Steiner
In the bob backland titan tron it looks like he do the chicken wing move on brodus clay. XD
Anime Hero it’s jerry lawler
the steiners themes are AWESOME!
5:07 la mejor entrada de todas 😂
18:34 la segunda mejor entrada 😎
7:27 An exclusive!!!! it arriiiiiiived
I hope they remaster this game and add few more fallen legend's and give a decent gameplay so that fans understand how misunderstood this game is!
I know akklaim is dead since years still I wish there was a hope to do something!
That's actually David Penzer
We'll do to copyrights with theme songs they couldn't use their exact theme songs.
+AcePlays If Undertaker Was In This I Bet You Taker Would Get A Generic Theme That Sounds Eerie Like Grim Reaper (1994-95)
@@jonathanwashington3065 that is exactly what the Undertaker would have in this game if he had his old theme Grim Reaper
what is the name of theme of mil mascaras???
I miss that game
DiBiase simply ROCKED
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO AGREES WITH ME!
I ain’t gonna lie I loved Hulks theme on here than the actual one he is known for
i'm sure owen hart was in the game!
no it's the announcer from tna
I sucked at playing this game. However it was a cool game. I was great at Showdown: Legends of Wrestling.
4:18 love the music 😂
Did you say Dave Penzer.
Where is bruno sammartino?
Any idea why Hawks is wearing yellow shoulder pads? I've seen L.O.D. in red, blue and gold shoulder pads, but never yellow.
Man I still even have Legends Of Wrestling 2 On Nintendo GameCube and Pretty much This game is still a lot of fun and I know Legends Of Wrestling 2 Is not a WWE video game and me and my cousin we used to play this game a lot and it is pretty fun after all I mean this game has all of the WWE Legends and WCW Legends and ECW Legends as well but my GameCube is really messed up for the minute so I can't even play this game for the minute
No. He was with WWE at that time.
7:00
Anyone knows this theme?
Big Daddy EASY EASY EASY
4:44
RIP Terry Funk
whats the name of cowboy bob ortons theme in this game
hes an old british wrestlin legend...its a british thang lol
no he was on the first one
he was in the first but not the second
Giant haystacks coming out to undertakers theme?
I noticed that too
I'm Pretty Sure If Undertaker Were In This Game Taker Would've Had His Original 1991 Theme Not The Shitty One Seen Here
Does anyone know whwre to get these entrance themes seperately?
15:00 fackin bullsheet
Bob Backlund & Rick Steiner can't move like human beings in this game.
no he was only in the 1st legends of wrestling game
So bad it's good. LoW wasn't all that bad though. Career mode was a bitch when the AI countered everything you did and you had to be just as good.
WHERE IS DON MORRACO
its all the default entrances.
What's the music that the steiner brothers use called?
The victors. Michigan's fight song
"Hail to the Victors" the University of Michigan fight song. The Steiners are graduates of U of M. So it only makes sense.
rvd is in part 3
Graphics on this are kickass compared to SVR on wii.if you don't know what SVR on wii looks like look it up and you'll see what I mean.
Good point.
Where is undertaker!?
He wasn't on the game.😦
He's not a legend
@Joe Ferreira I'd Take The First Option
Ya Know If Undertaker (Western Mortician) Were In This This Would Be Undertaker's Actual Entrance Theme
+Jonathan Washington Except Undertaker Would've Had Jim Johnston's Funeral March Remixed For This
What is that name of that Couboy Bob orton theme in this game?
Penzer seems so unenthusiastic compared to his work at actual shows...
dunno
GOD, This game Was Absolute SHIT! The best thing about this game is the roster, the Music & the Use of weapons & blood! It's so weird & yet awesome seeing all these classic wrestlers be involved in more violent & gruesome matches!
omg how shit was this game lol
No, but he is in the first one.
What was song Scott and rick Steiner used
the victors, Michigan's fight song
does the PlayStation version you have Giant Haystacks and all the other legends that I'm not familiar with
+Agustin Garcia Only in the European release.
What ?!!
Big Daddy Kendo and Heystacks are British Wrestling Royalty were huge names in the UK Heystacks went over to the states for a while he was in the WCW in 96 under the ring name Loch Ness hell he was even a member of The Dungeon of Doom but his run in WCW was cut really short due being diagnosed with Cancer so he returned to the UK
Rick Steiner's model barely looks like him, lol
Giving Haystacks the funeral match seems mean.
coolsomeXD+ giant haystacks theme song is catcus jack first theme song in wcw
