Legends of Wrestling

Reception

The game was met with "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic.
The Cincinnati Enquirer gave the PS2 version a score of four stars out of five and said that its characters "have an exaggerated action-figure look, but they move smoothly and have a robust collection of moves." However, Playboy gave the same version a score of 60% and said, "Unless you're desperate to see Captain Lou Albano in action again, scant reason for a purchase presents itself. Casual wrestling fans can pass." BBC Sport gave said version a score of 56%, stating: "When you press a button to pull off a move there's far too long a wait for any action, and the game actually builds up a queue which can mean you are waiting for moves to happen before you can continue."

Sequels

A sequel to the game, titled Legends of Wrestling II, was released in 2002 for the Game Boy Advance, PlayStation 2, GameCube and Xbox. The series was followed by a third sequel, titled Showdown: Legends of Wrestling, was released in 2004, for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox.
