INTRODUCTION
Their skills and ring feats are the stuff of legend: Hulk Hogan, Captain Lou Albano, King Kong Bundy, Bret "Hitman" Hart, Cowboy Bob Orton. These are just a few of the Legends of Wrestling, the greatest talents who ever ruled the ring.
From brutal single matches to old-school tag team contests, there are lots of ways to wrestle. You can thump around in Exhibition matches, take on a Tournament of exhausting exchanges, or go for the full-throat of an entire Career season of matches. There are plenty of special moves, signature moves and just plain nasty tricks to keep the action intense and entertaining.
And even though Legends of Wrestling boasts the most amazing roster of ring talent ever, it won't be complete until you add to it in Create A Legend mode, where you can cobble your own clobbering colossus together, then bring him into the action to test the greats.
So what are you waiting for? Dive in, the canvas is fine!
