| rdfs:comment | - 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. In total, three instalments were released before Acclaim folded: Legends Of Wrestling in 2001, Legends Of Wrestling II in 2002 and Showdown: Legends Of Wrestling in 2004.

| abstract | - 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 like Killer Kowalski and Bruno Sammartino to Rock'n'Wrestling era stars such as Hulk Hogan and Ted DiBiase to even modern wrestlers like 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. In total, three instalments were released before Acclaim folded: Legends Of Wrestling in 2001, Legends Of Wrestling II in 2002 and Showdown: Legends Of Wrestling in 2004.
