\ III. Version History \
o----------------------o
Version 1.0 - Posted on April 17th, 2004
Very first version. And I completed it at once! Yes, this FAQ is
complete already and I won't update unless people ask me for new
sections or I get some new ideas myself...
===============================================================================

\ IV. General Info \
o------------------o
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
1. The Author
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This is only my second FAQ and not so comprehensive as my last one. This guide
was translated from Dutch so it won't be without any grammar/spelling errors or
half-Dutch words. I try to avoid making a lot of them, but an error-free text
is never guaranteed.
This guide contains info on the game "Legends of Wrestling" for XBox, and it
may very well spoil some secrets of the game. Thus, be warned. I cannot say
this is a real walkthrough but it has some hints and tips that can help people
to win fights more easily.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2. The Game
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Legends of Wrestling is a game by Acclaim Entertainment, a game that makes us
long back to the times of old. No "The Rock", no "Y2J" or "Ultimo Dragon", but
the real wrestling stars like Hulk Hogan, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, Bret "Hitman"
Hart, and many more.
With these, you can play all kinds of matches, ranging from normal matches to
rings filled with eight wrestlers! You can also start a career with one of
those wrestlers or... take your own self-made wrestler to the top! This game
has dozens of options to create your own professional wrestler. For all the
game types, see the next section.
=-=-=-=-=-=
3. Cheats
=-=-=-=-=-=
The only cheat currently known in Legends of Wrestling is the code to unlock
all of the wrestlers instead of unlocking them all separately. In the Main
Menu, press:
UP; UP; DOWN; DOWN; LEFT; RIGHT; LEFT; RIGHT; Y; Y; X
===============================================================================
o---------------o
\ V. Game Types \
o---------------o
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
1. Exhibition
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
An exhibition is a fight for fun. You can choose one of the many game types and
quickly step into the ring with the wrestler of your choice. The type of arena
can be selected as well. You may even choose one of the wrestlers to act as a
referee throughout the fight, or play as one yourself! The following types of
wrestling are available:
Versus
-------
Play a normal one-on-one match, against the computer or another player. Once
this is selected, a screen is viewed in which you may choose control of one
of the two teams, or the referee. Next, select the participating wrestlers
and step into the ring.
3 Way Dance
------------
Time for a bit of backstabbing, then. This is exactly the same type as versus
only this time with three wrestlers, meaning that you can secretly grab hold
of a weapon while the other two are beating each other up. You can select all
the wrestlers and the referee, then get ready for a fight.
4 Way Dance
------------
Whoa, the ring is getting a bit full with all these wrestlers fighting each
other at one time. Be ready to be ganged upon by your opponents, and may the
most mean wrestler win the match. Again, select all the wrestlers and
eventually the referee, and step into the ring.
Tag Team
---------
In the Tag Team mode, you can select two wrestlers to be one one team. Then,
they battle another team. The camera might get a bit irritating in these
kinds of fight, but that doesn't decrease the fun rate. You can ask partners
for help in this mode by pressing Down on the Directional Pad. What do you
think will happen when four tag teams do this at one time? :) You can choose
to play with two, three or four teams at once.
Arena
------
Select the arena of your choice here, nothing special really. You can choose
the following rings:
- Pacific - Northeast
- Midwest - Southeast
- Southwest - International Center
- World - Iguana Hotel & Casino
- Backlot - Acevedo Beach Resort
- Faber Gymnasium - America Dome
=-=-=-=-=-=
2. Career
=-=-=-=-=-=
Choose a wrestler, existing or your own, and lead him through dozens of fights
making him the Heavyweight Champion of the World. All aspects of the Career
Mode are handled in the "Career" section (VI).
=-=-=-=-=-=
3. Create
=-=-=-=-=-=
This is the mode for creating your own legends of wrestling. Choose to create
a male or a female by selecting the appropriate option. You can use "legend"
to view and edit the already existing legends. "Edit" is for already created
or edit legends which are on your XBox's hard disk. See the "Create A Legend"
section for more information (IX).
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
4. Tournament
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This is a tournament with multiple participating wrestlers. There are several
options to choose from when playing a tournament, the game modes stated
below:
Versus
-------
All wrestlers are on their own, you can choose how many will participate
in the tournament. The battles take place like normal versus battles, and
the wrestler with the most points in the end is the winner. When there
are equal amounts of points for two wrestlers, those two will participate
in a final match: the winner is also victorious in the tournament.
Tag Team
---------
Works in exactly the same way as Versus, but now with tag teams. You can
choose how many teams will participate and how many rounds you would
like to have against each team. The team with the most points at the end
of the tournament wins. Teams with equal amounts of points will compete
in a final match that decides the outcome of the tournament.
Tag Belt
---------
This is just a Tag Team tournament with preset conditions. There are six
teams, which all compete for the tag team title in three rounds against
every other team.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
5. Options
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
In this screen, you can change the game's default options to your likings. Most
of the options are self-explanatory, but there are a few that need some extra
clarification.
"Save" and "Load" can be used to save current options or load previously
saved options. You can turn the managers that accompany the wrestlers during
the game ON or OFF. Disabling the entrances wrestlers make is also an option.
The setting TKO determines if you can win by knocking your opponent out. If
disabled, the only way to win is through a pinfall or submission. With the
"playlists" you can change the music in the game to any music you currently
have on your XBox hard disk.
===============================================================================
o------------o
\ VI. Career \
o------------o
The Career mode is a special mode in which you can take one of the already
existing wrestlers, or one you created yourself, to the top in a dazzling lot
of fights. You must gain popularity in each region, challenge each territory's
champion to win the belt, then defend it against another wrestler.
During a Career, you get help from one of the two available managers in the
game, depending on the matter if your character is LOVED or HATED. If he is
LOVED, you get "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart as a manager. If your
wrestler is hated, you get "Captain" Lou Albano. This is important as you
will unlock your used manager to wrestle with once you complete the career.
Here's a list of which wrestlers are LOVED and which are HATED.
-------------------------------------------------------------
LOVED | HATED
--------------------------------|----------------------------
Hulk Hogan | The Iron Sheik
Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka | Mr. Fuji
Road Warrior Hawk | Don Muraco
Road Warrior Animal | Nikolai Volkoff
Bret "Hitman" Hart | Ted DiBiase
Terry Funk | King Kong Bundy
Jerry "The King" Lawler | One Man Gang
George "The Animal" Steele | Greg "The Hammer" Valentine
"Mr. USA" Tony Atlas | Harley Race
Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat | "Superstar" Billy Graham
Tito Santana | "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert
Koko B. Ware | Ivan Koloff
Ricky Morton | The Sheik
Robert Gibson | Sabu
"Flyin'" Brian Pillman | "Captain" Lou Albano
Rick Martel |
Ivan Putski |
"Cowboy" Bob Orton |
Kerry Von Erich |
Fritz Von Erich |
Kevin Von Erich |
Michael Von Erich |
David Von Erich |
Dory Funk Jr. |
Rob Van Dam |
"Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart |
-------------------------------------------------------------
Once you have chosen the wrestler you wish to enter a career with, a screen is
viewed showing the map of the USA, divided into five different regions. Each
region has a champion with the belt of that territory. You need to get all of
those belts from all of the champions. The following regions are available:
---------------------------------------
REGION CHAMPION
---------------------------------------
Pacific => Bret "Hitman" Hart
Midwest => Hulk Hogan
Southwest => Road Warrior Hawk
Southeast => "Flyin'" Brian Pillman
Northeast => "Superstar" Billy Graham
---------------------------------------
It doesn't really matter in which region you start, it is the same story each
time: gather enough popularity to challenge the champion, win the belt and
defend it once against another wrestler.
Popularity
-----------
You'll have to be popular amongst the crowd to challenge the champion, and
to do this you'll have to make your matches as exiting as possible. To see
how exciting your match is, you can watch the big "Match Excitement" meter
in the top of the screen. The more exciting the match, the more popularity
you will gain. There are several ways to increase the excitement meter.
You'll know when you've increased excitement once you see a red icon in the
left of the screen with some text in it. Each one will increase the meter
by a specific amount. Notice that once you have won several belts, the meter
will fill up slower than when you just began wrestling as a rookie. The ways
to fill up the meter:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extreme Damage => Often gained through combos. To get it, simply make a move
or a combo that saps a lot of damage, like the following
combo: "Chin Crusher >> Kick to Groin".
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
High Spot Bonus => I'm not exactly sure about this, but I think you get this
once you hit an opponent at a sensitive spot, like his
head, groin, or weak joint. Could anyone confirm that?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bloody Match => Watch out! This can only be obtained when the "Blood"
option is set ON in the Options Menu. Hit your opponent
with a few hard blows on the face and he will start to
bleed, giving you this bonus.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Move Variety => Obtained once you make about twelve different moves.
Reversals don't count as different moves.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reversal Bonus => Given when you make three reversals. Might be hard on the
easy difficulty because enemies won't counter you often,
but shouldn't be a problem from Mid Card on.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Combo Bonus => Gained by pulling off combos (press the right button in
time during some moves). Three will give you the bonus.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ref Bump => Easy to get, and the crowd loves it. Just run into the ref
to hit him to the ground and you'll have this one.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weapon Attack => Just grab hold of a weapon or other object to beat up your
opponent with and hit once.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finisher => Every wrestler in the game has one (check the Wrestler
List section to see them). Just pull them off once your
Finisher meter is blinking and you'll get this.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2-on-1 Move => Only available for 3 or 4 Way Dances. It's hard to get and
you need to be lucky. When you grapple an opponent at
exactly the same time as another wrestler you'll make a
2-on-1 Move, obtaining the bonus.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BreakUp Pinfall => Just stomp one of two wrestlers who are pinning or
or Submission hurting each other to get it. Only for 3 or 4 Way Dances.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knockout => The crowd loves it when somebody gets knocked out of
consciousness. Keep hammering your opponent until far
beyond his red bar and you will knock him out.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frequent Tags => When you change wrestlers a lot in Tag Matches, you can
get this bonus. Watch out, however, it won't work if you
just keep tagging each other without hurting opponents
with the new wrestler first.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cheating => Only available in Tag matches, you can get this bonus by
knocking down the ref while your partner's in the ring. If
you succeed, your partner can stay in longer, gaining you
this bonus.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Victory => You get this after the match, and only if you win it. It
will give you an extra boost in match excitement
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Domination => In matches with more than two wrestlers, you can get this
by dominating all opponents, thus disposing of everybody
as efficient as possible and without taking major damage.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall High => In 3 or 4 Way Dances/Tag Team you can get this. It means
Damage inflicting a lot of damage with each move you make, so no
simple strikes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I might have forgotten a few of them, but I'm sure most are listed above.
Of course, there are also things that can decrease the match excitement, thus
lowering your popularity increase. These have to be avoided. They are:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Repetitive Moves => During the match, you may get this because of repeatedly
using the same move, like five of the same strikes right
after each other. Mix up your moves to avoid it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minimal Combos => After the match, this can lower your excitement, any time
you didn't get the Combo Bonus in a fight. So, make sure
that you get it each time and you won't have to worry.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stalling => In 3 or 4 Way Dances, you should be fighting all the
time, only grabbing a brief pause when you need a nice
weapon. If you don't do this, you will get this negative
reaction from the crowd.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neglected Tag => This can only happen after a Tag Team match. Gained when
Partner you haven't given your partner a chance to fight. Just
tag your partner once, let him fight a minute and tag
back.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Defeat => Just like you get positive reactions from the crowd if
you emerge victorious from a fight, so will a defeat
affect your match excitement, only now in a negative way.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's about it for popularity. At the end of each match, your exitement
meter is viewed and while it is emptied the popularity meter on the right
side of the screen increases. Once you've collected 100% Popularity, you get
a shot at beating the champion of the region.
The Gym
--------
At certain points in your career your manager will point out you'll have to
go to the gym to train. That's not an insult, it's only good for you. When
playing a normal wrestler, you cannot improve your attributes or abilities,
but you can get new moves with move keys.
If you are playing a self-made legend, the fun's just about to start. Even
though they start out far more weak than the normal wrestlers, they'll be
about 33% more powerful at the end of the career. That's because you can
actually spend the attribute and ability points you unlock throughout the
career in the Create-A-Legend screen.
Belts
------
A fight against the champion is always one-on-one. Champions are usually a
bit tougher than the normal fights you had in the region but not by much. To
emerge victorious, you'll have to control your wrestling skills. When you
beat a champion, you gain the belt of the current territory.
Of course, you are not the only one longing to hold the belt. So when you
have won it, you will have to defend it once against another wrestler in a
new belt match. Only this time you're the champion. Losing means losing the
belt, so don't let that happen. The belt system works like this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pacific Belt Midwest Belt Southwest Belt Northeast Belt Southeast Belt
| | | | |
|______________|______________|_______________|_______________|
|
|
USA Belt
|
|
International Belt
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you have collected each territory's belt, they will be united into a
single USA Belt. You'll have to defend this one some more times than the
normal belts. Thereafter, you are allowed to participate in the International
Heavyweight Championship. You will have to gather popularity throughout the
world and then face the current Heavyweight Champion: Rob Van Dam. If you win
it, you'll have to defend it on several occasions again.
When you're finally done, you'll get some info on the wrestler you have taken
to the top, or you get congratulations on making one of your own CAL's a
legend of wrestling. Completing careers with some wrestlers will unlock new
wrestlers for you to use.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2. Brawling
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
When the match first begins, all wrestlers are on opposite sides of the ring,
and you'll need to get to them and blow them away with punches, kicks and throw
moves first. The brawling moves are very simple:
- Execute a punch or a kick with the X Button. Normal X is a simple strikes,
moving the Left Thumbstick LEFT or RIGHT together with X results in a
medium strike and finally moving the LThumbstick UP or DOWN together with
X results in a strong strike. These differ per wrestler.
- Up close you can use one of your Ready Moves with the Y button. Those are
throw moves that you can use without grappling your opponent first, and
are often very comboable. These can be used in combination with the Left
Thumbstick as well, resulting a three different moves per wrestler. Not
all characters have three Ready Moves.
- Press X, Y, or B while running and your wrestler will execute his Running
Move, like a Clothesline. You can also try to intercept a running opponent
with X, Y, or B by using your anti-running strike.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
3. Grappling & ISP
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Once wrestlers are close to each other, they can grapple each other with the B
Button. The one who was first to grapple also gets the first opportunity to
make a move. The moves in Legends of Wrestling are defined by the ISP, or long
the Intermediate Start Position. Sounds difficult, is simple. When you've
grappled your opponent you can take him into different positions to make a
move from. You can do four ISP's in front and three in a behind grapple (I
don't count holding your opponent as an ISP).
To make things a bit more clear:
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
|-----> X -- Vertical Suplex --> X/Y/B/A
|
|
|-----> Y -- Scoop Slam --> X/Y/B/A
|
Front Grapple ====|
|-----> B -- Head Between Legs --> X/Y/B/A
|
|
|-----> A -- Belly To Belly --> X/Y/B/A
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
|-----> X -- Gutwrench --> X/Y/B/A
|
|
|-----> Y -- Samoan Drop --> X/Y/B/A
|
Behind Grapple ===|
|-----> B -- Full Nelson --> X/Y/B/A
|
|
|-----> A -- Hold Opponent
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
The button pressed once in the ISP position determines which move your wrestler
will make. For example, when you have an opponent in the Head Between Legs
position and he cannot counter you, pressing X or nothing might mean doing a
Sit-Out Powerbomb, while pressing Y makes him execute an Underhook Piledriver.
You can do more things once you've grappled your opponent. Pressing the WHITE
button throws your opponent to the ground, breaking up the Tie-Up. You can also
break the grapple with the Right Trigger. Finally, you can whip your opponent
into the ropes or fencing with the BLACK button. You can hold the Left
Thumbstick into the specific direction you want to whip your opponent in.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
4. Ground Fighting
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Of course, wrestler do not remain standing the entire match. Half of it will
take place on the ground when you or your opponent is knocked down. You have
several options with ground fighting:
- Pressing the X Button stomps your opponent while he's on the ground,
decreasing his health.
- Pressing the Y Button gives you several options. Doing it while standing
at your opponents head while he's on his back will give you a Choke ISP,
doing it at his belly gives you the Mount ISP and at his legs makes you
put yourself in the Hold Legs ISP. From these, you can then order specific
moves to be executed. This only applies for opponents who lie on their
backs.
- When opponents are on their belly, you can use the Y Button to order
wrestler-specific moves, but you won't get an ISP.
- Pressing the B Button makes your wrestler lift the opponent up, so he's
standing again. Perfect when he's dizzy and you need to do a finisher
that requires a grapple quickly.
- Pressing the A Button will pin the opponent. If the opposition is weak
enough, you may be able to hold them down for three seconds, winning
the match.
- When other wrestlers are in a submission or a pinfall you can kick them
out of it with the X Button. If that doesn't work, try shifting your
attention to the second opponent on the ground. The one that is doing
the pin or submission should be your target.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
5. Combos & Reversals
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Two of the keys to winning a game in Legends of Wrestling are combos and
reversals. They are done in exactly the same way, although they don't have
the same effect.
Combos
-------
A lot of moves can be chained together into a combo. To see them all, look
at the "Moves & Combo List" section (X). These can cause extreme damage to
your opponent or immediately pin him after a succesful throw. As you might
have noticed, combos are key to winning games.
To succesfully execute a combo, you'll have to use a move that can be comboed
into something else. To practice, you might want to start with an easier move
to combo. A good one would be a Falling Chokeslam (Ready Move). Once you
start it, a bar appears under your health and finisher meter. I'll call this
the Combo Bar for now. It consists of a red part, a green part, and a cursor
that moves from left to right. To combo a move, you'll have to press one of
the buttons that is viewed near that bar when the cursor moves through the
green area. The speed and amount of green area differs per move.
