The only fresh thing on this game is the playing of classic characters and sometimes that's not as glamorous as you would think. The other thing that may peek your interest is the character creator where you can choose your background music, manager, and if you're a baby face or a heel among other things.
The game life is limited due to the sound and control issues that plague this great, in theory, title. It does have a good career mode where you have to beat the best to advance. The wrestlers you face are all very good and it is sometimes very tough to beat, especially at title matches. One of the highlights is the real Captain Lou Albano and "Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart, among others, manage you throughout the whole experience.
If I wasn't worried of getting my ears blasted with sound effects gone wild or worry if Road Warrior Animal (Hawk's Teammate) is going to box me senseless because I can't tag, then I'd say it was a decent game. It's not a bad game, it really does try to give a great experience, but this is one that falls short and goes into the bargain bin.
From what I encountered with this title, I hope Legends of Wrestling 2 can pick up the pieces left by this one.
