Acclaim wrestling with past legends (Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, etc.). Mediocre execution, stiff gameplay, limited AI. Far from the Aki/THQ standards of the era. Pleasant for wrestling history curiosity, otherwise skippable.

Is Legends of Wrestling still worth playing in 2026?
A tribute to the great wrestling figures of yesteryear, Legends of Wrestling gathers a roster of licensed legends in bouts meant to celebrate the discipline's golden age. The grapple system aims to be technical but suffers from heavy handling and a stiff production. The pleasure comes mostly from the roster's nostalgia. Today the title will appeal above all to old school wrestling fans attached to these icons or the curious about wrestling games of that generation.
