Acclaim always had its ups and downs as a video game company, but they always managed a certain degree of success with licensed Professional Wrestling games, first with WWE (before losing the license to THQ) and then with ECW (before the company went under). In 2001, without any prominent promotion to cash in on, they decided to go for a bold move. That move was Legends Of Wrestling.Legends Of Wrestling features wrestlers from various different eras of professional wrestling, from old school guys such as Killer Kowalski and Bruno Sammartino to Rock'n'Wrestling era stars such as Hulk Hogan and Ted DiBiase to even modern wrestlers such as Rob Van Dam and Eddie Guerrero, although it'd be lying to say that Hogan himself wasn't the top attraction of the games, featuring prominently on every installment's cover. The second game also featured the late comedian Andy Kaufman, with the career mode being able to relive his feud with Jerry Lawler.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In total, three installments were released before Acclaim folded: Legends Of Wrestling in 2001, Legends Of Wrestling II in 2002 and Showdown: Legends Of Wrestling in 2004.

Anachronism Stew: Deliberate, given the inclusion of famous wrestlers from across 50 years of modern professional wrestling. A large number of wrestlers also feature a lot of modern moves added to their movesets, in an attempt to appeal to casual gamers as well.

Captain Ersatz: The second game featured a story mode with regional promoters, all ersatzes of existing wrestling promoters: Tony "The Boss" Pavoratti (Northeast region) is an italian version of Vince McMahon. Tex McGraw (Southwest region) is based on Ted Turner.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Artificial Stupidity: Each game has suffered from this to some degree. Notably, Legends of Wrestling II has enemy AI immediately go outside the ring for a weapon as soon as his opponent is dazed... even when DQs are active and the referee isn't down.
