One of my favourite things about this game is that it's full of oldhead wrestlers, like legends from the territory days and yet they're going full mid 2000s indy and busting out Jay Drillers and insane moves. It's just a really hilarious juxtaposition.
He was hyped like that when he hosted his own DBZ Budokai tournaments on Twitch a few years ago. Shame it never was saved for this channel (or a secondary one).
@@AmiezonPrime yeah, it was on Budokai (Tenkaichi 3 I think?) And it was a series of nine tournaments with 8 teams of 3 characters. Twitch chat was picking characters through a Google forms page, then Duel would randomly select chat's picks to form teams. I think it was back in 2021. Honestly some of nL's best content IMO.
I'm so down for this. Low key most insane wrestling game ever, for many reasons. Hopefully the full roster is available. Hopefully we get Andy Kaufman in the bracket.
Spoilers: The arc of Tito Santana was nuts. He was immediately written out when paired with Scott Steiner and yet he managed to squeak by Big Poppa Pump. Obviously anyone would be happy to get a win over him and with the NL boys gassing him up after his win, he let power get into his head. So much so that his match with Andre was becoming a tainted squash fully riding on his newfound arrogance in actually having a chance to qualify for the Kingiest. But his arrogance - and eventually Andre - got the better of him. Now he will be known in NL lore as the man who almost had it all and ended up losing it all. And it was all simulated lmao
Lore-accurate Sammartino in video games is so broken lol. Also, I hope the Japan games is in the tournament. The simulation matches in those games is insane.
Japanese sliding doors are called Shoji. Duel and Jericho were right that Tatami are the floor mats. This tournament was nuts! That semi final match was all time nL classic
SPOILERS: I was worried for a minute, but Legacy of the Legacyiest still works! Taz -> Hook Randy -> Dad & Grandpa The Rock -> no explanation needed Billy Gunn -> Austin & Colt Bruno -> David Sammartino
This game is so wild. I still have a soft spot for it. The moveset are hilariously inaccurate across the board but I love the simplified character designs, makes em look like the older simpler LJN or Hasbro figures. And also unless your CAW is really bad they tended look about on par with the in-game models, something modern WWE games still struggle with. Also, it had 8-man matches. In 2002, this game had the ability to have 8 wrestlers in the ring at one time. THQ/Yukes/2K Games wouldn't pull that off until 2K18.
I’m picking Bruno I’ll let you know how I do after the video or if Bruno loses early as he’s my fav wrestler of all time Edit: sorry I’m late it is murica day and YESSSSSSSSSSSS LETS GO BRUNO
1:09:20 - "It's Russia so it's probably Steel" to no contention and complete silence is one of the funniest fucking things I've ever heard Jericho say.
Who do I pick? There's Owen Hart, Bret Hart, Captain Lou Albano, Eddie Guerrero, Scott "Fucking" Steiner, Kevin or Kerry Von Erich?... But something inside me tells me I need to pick Andy Kaufman.
I agree! There should be a modification of Legends of Wrestling 2 where they can add all the guys who were added in Legends Of Wrestling Showdown such as Sting, DDP, Macho Man, Ultimate Warrior, Dusty Rhodes and Ravishing Rick Rude, Curt Hennig (Mr. Perfect) and also include Rob Van Dam, whom was cut from the second game due to being under contract with the WWE during the game’s development and also include some of the guys that were exclusively included in the European version such as Giant Haystacks and Shirley “Big Daddy” Crabtree and even include wrestling legends who never appeared in the Legends of Wrestling series such as Stone Cold Steve Austin, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Ric Flair, Vader, Jeff Jarrett, Jushin “Thunder” Liger, Bruiser Brody, Antonio Inoki, Ken Shamrock and Lex Luger and they should call it Legends of Wrestling 2 Ultimate Edition.
As a kid who grew up on the OG Xbox i absolutely loved the legends of wrestling series. I know history hasn’t looked back too fondly on them and they weren’t exactly a critical or commercial success, but for me they were perfect especially when compared with Raw 1
Bro, how many moves did Tito Santana reverse this episode? Imma need some stats on that, I swear he was reversing like 90% of the things done to him. Technical Wizardry!
Tito wanted to become the leader of the Bipolar Shield and so that's why he beat tf out of andre lol (I wonder how many fans still remember the bipolar shield lol)
What's wrong with "Moscow" arena and why there's any "better place" than it? 😅 It's not worse that "Tokyo" because of symbols and "USSR" thing. I mean, you don't have to underestimate or hate other country just because of itself, and I think there're not "evil" countries, there're "evil" people, and the majority of russian people is not evil. We love wrestling, we love its culture and events and it's not so popular in our country as in other Europe countries or USA.
Seeing Grandwizard now all hear is Deadlocks impression of Nash as the Grandwizard. SPOILERS: I kinda hope we have a quick kingiest rumble or tourney of MVPs after that Tito performance.
@@swag4jag559 I think the reason was because, if this game was made when I think it was, he was still under contract with WWE, so his likeness couldn't be used. Eddie technically wasn't signed to WWE at the time (re-signed later that year), so that's why he was able to be used.

Idk if I've ever heard Duel more fired up than the end of Andre vs Tito.

@@JohnBLZ are those seperate from the raging blast tournament? because thats still on the nL channel

Tito Vs. Andre might be the best match in New Legacy history. I love this fucking channel and I love all my fellow hogdippers.

And it was all simulated lmao
It definitely almost comes close to D-Von
The andre vs grand wizard match was one of the funniest NL matches I've seen.
54:28 ANDRE WITH THE HEIST OF THE CENTURY!!
That Tito Andre match was nuts!!!
Tito didn't want to throw andre in the ring and pin me
@@fitzgeraldlansanah5306 PSYCHOLOGY!!
How come they had a match between perennial babyface Tito Santana and big intimidating monster André The Giant and somehow André was the underdog?
@pafoneto1275 my favorite thing in these tournaments are the muti finishers we see
Lore-accurate Sammartino in video games is so broken lol.

Duel was so amped about Andre winning. You love to see it.
The last match is just Rocky 4 lolol

*THREE?*
*Confusedly holds up 4 fingers, also Yeaaaah my durango*

I unfortunately played the hell out of this game as a kid, looking back it was truly one of the games ever
nL found the best way ever to fantasy book Andre and Bruno and I’m so here for it
That first semi-final was ridiculous!
what a comeback
I'm sure you didn't play the pal version to get Mick Macmanus or Kendo Nagasaki into the kingiest but a girl can dream :(
Or Big Daddy & Giant Haystacks!
Sup girl
Dude I'd cheer so hard for Kendo Nagasaki.
"M'cmanus..." *Tips fedora*
Respect to Beefy for replacing the Nu Metal BGM for this game.
This game really does a good job at making Moscow look like a totalitarian brutalist hellscape lol
Spoilers:
Fun Fact: The final of this tournament is between the longest reigning and shortest reigning wwe champions in history.
This game is so wild. I still have a soft spot for it.
The moveset are hilariously inaccurate across the board but I love the simplified character designs, makes em look like the older simpler LJN or Hasbro figures.
And also unless your CAW is really bad they tended look about on par with the in-game models, something modern WWE games still struggle with.
Also, it had 8-man matches. In 2002, this game had the ability to have 8 wrestlers in the ring at one time. THQ/Yukes/2K Games wouldn't pull that off until 2K18.
Is the guy announcing the names the same guy that did ring announcing for tna?
Yes, as well as WCW
I’m picking Bruno I’ll let you know how I do after the video or if Bruno loses early as he’s my fav wrestler of all time
Edit: sorry I’m late it is murica day and YESSSSSSSSSSSS LETS GO BRUNO
Anyone other than the Iron Sheik winning this will be FACKIN BOOLSHET.
This game might need to be a Kingiest regular. Talk about a whirlwind of emotions.
I'd like to see either members of the Von Erich to break their curse :P
Jimmy Hart, Daddy!
DADDY!!!!
BUT WHAT IF HE ISN'T HERE, BROTHER?!
WHAT IF IT'S, OUR FRIEND, VAM-PYRO, THAT I CALL, VAMPIRO BROTHER!! WHATCHA THINKOF THAT, DUUDE?!

I just love that Tito/Andre match. Sums up Tito's career, really.
These games were so close to being amazing!
The Kendo Nagasaki agenda begins
The comeback was frickin insane.
The Legends games are favourites of mine, so seeing them get some love here is great.

I can't believe the boys got Reginald VeJohnson to referee this tournament.
I remember playing this and the first one as a kid bit janky but i really liked them
Pulling for a Von Erich 👀
Another Misfortune for the Von Erich family 😢
LoW2 is such an underrated game
The gameplay held it back imo. Those Acclaimed controls were always annoying in wrestling games.
Let's freaking go 🔥🔥
Bro, how many moves did Tito Santana reverse this episode? Imma need some stats on that, I swear he was reversing like 90% of the things done to him. Technical Wizardry!
the finish to andre vs tito was fucking insane
MJF played Lance in the movie, not Waldo
WHO'S NEXT?
LEGENDS OF WRESTLING II IS NEXT...ON MY LIST!
Why is the bearhug so OP in this game? XD
Andre freaking giant that match vs Tito was crazy🔥
14:40 Didn't get all of it 😂
Glad Rome has Greek Letters
Let’s go Andre!
I keep wondering how you manage to do CPU matches with this game
No way you guys are fans of survivor???
Damn what a pleasant coincidence 😂❤
Andre sold like a champ for The Grand Wizard.
Jericho has a point about the Iron Claw casting. I always thought Zac Efron looked more like Kerry Von Erich than Jeremy Allen White.
I thought that Mr Fuji icon was Buff Bagwell...
Bam bam going win all it's
that was the craziest comeback ever holy moly man
Tito wanted to become the leader of the Bipolar Shield and so that's why he beat tf out of andre lol (I wonder how many fans still remember the bipolar shield lol)
The ai here is just beautifully awful. The way they always stand face to face staring blankly
You guys should play career-mode video for this game
of course the finals are andre and sammartino. once again the old guys refusing to put young talent over
God I was SO scared we'd have Andre run another event.
This is one of two games that I stole from a video store growing up much nostalgia

Seeing Grandwizard now all hear is Deadlocks impression of Nash as the Grandwizard.

I kinda hope we have a quick kingiest rumble or tourney of MVPs after that Tito performance.
Hopefully we get king Scott Steiner can I get some Steiner math for this tournament the second King of the Ring tournament
I got mr. Perfect winning this one
I hate to be like Wade Barrett, but I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news for ya. Mr Perfect isnt in the game
@@swag4jag559that's a good impression of wade barrett and my second choice would be Scott Steiner
@@swag4jag559 I think the reason was because, if this game was made when I think it was, he was still under contract with WWE, so his likeness couldn't be used. Eddie technically wasn't signed to WWE at the time (re-signed later that year), so that's why he was able to be used.
My pick is Scott Steiner cause you know he's a got a 141⅔ Chance of winning it The entire Kingiest of the Ringiest the numbers dont lie
