Legends of Wrestlemania the Video Game

I pretty much stopped watching wrestling when the Rock left WWE . I only found out when Ric Flair was fighting and decided to tune into this WWE garbage they are selling us as sports entertainment. Ric finally slapped on his final figure four leg lock and called it a wrestling-legacy. Who doesn't want to live the life of the limousine riding , jet flying , kiss stealing son of gun !! I know I wouldn't mind being the life of the party once in awhile. Anyway .. wrestling is depressing because there is so much hype for the pay-per views that the matches are short or too predicatable . Noone really stays up for the good stuff anymore, its worth while to go on you tube and watch whats good then give up a night of sleep or something more interesting then the same beat storylines of the WWE.

Now for the video game which is actually hott !! So for those former wrestling heads or for those still hanging in there like the Detroit Lions fans of last season .. there is something to relive the days when you made it a point to talk about pro wrestling. There was thrill in watching Bret Hart slap the sharpshooter on Diesel at Survivor Series , as the Hitman went through a table of commentators. Watching Hulk Hogan beat Yoko in Las Vegas Nevada .. Bret Hart was Yoko's opponent by the way , but the immortal came back and gave the people what they wanted. Undertaker when he whore the long coat and gloves .. He removed his hat and showed the eyes of a man possessed. I know I loved his coffin matches with Kamala .. how he rose from the dead and walked the ropes against such guys such as Sid , Yoko, Big Bossman , Nails, Papa Shongo, and all those other guys you loved to see fall to the Undertaker. The Road Warriors or LOD .. They are my favorite tag team of all-time. They had some great matches with the Hart Foundation , Money Inc. , the Steiners , and whatever tag team that was thrown against them. Everything I mentioned here so far could be relived in this video game for the PS3 and XBox 360 systems.

Hulk Hogan , Ric Flair , Brutus Beefcake , Junk Yard Dog , Undertaker ( Throwback) , British Bulldog , Million Dollar Man , Jimmy Snuka , Rowdy Roddy Piper , Jake The Snake Roberts , Shawn Michaels , Bret Hart , Andre The Giant , Mr. Perfect , Bam Bam , and LOD are among the 40 Wrestlers that can be selected to enter the world of Vintage Wrestling . There are vintage rings from the wrestlemanias past and even authentic theme music and titles are detailed to a tee in this game. There are single matches , tag matches , steel cage matches , and the ladder matches. Chances are the game will bring out the competive-juices .. the main focus will be winning the belts and obtaining all the unlockables that will lead to a true throw-back wrestling gaming experience.

There is also a mode that you could relive , rewrite , and redefine the greatest moments of wrestlemania . Though I will not have any part in this because its been too damn long since I witnessed a good wrestling game, I suggest that those who think WWE is great give this a try. You might find yourself You Tubing Wrestlemanias that consisted of guys such as Bret Hart , Lex Luger , Crush , Razor Ramon , Stone Cold , and Tatanka.. yeah he had it !! These were the wrestlemanias that my dad and I watched .. taping it so I could come home from Warren Snyder and see the mainevent .. watch raw later that night and look forward to a weekend of more wrestling . Now there is just watching the DVDs and talking about wrestling like three times a year. Ric Flair is the last of the living legends of wrestling .. I was lucky enough to meet the Nature Boy and he was worth the leg pain and money. WOOO!!
