Backyard Wrestling and Backyard Wrestling 2 were games developed by Paradox Studios, a development studio who gained notoriety thanks to their "Thrill Kill" PS1 game that got cancelled (later changed to Wu-Tang Shaolin Style / Taste The Pain). The team would end up developing "Backyard Wrestling: Don't Try This At Home" and "Backyard Wrestling 2: There Goes The Neighborhood", 2 wrestling video games that took the action away from the ring and put it in backyards, truck stops, and empty swimming pools (among other locations). Fans had the oppurtunity to play as characters such as New Jack, Sandman, John Zandig, The Insane Clown Posse and Sabu.

While it may not be everyone's cup of tea this game will hold a special place in my heart my friend bought this and we played many hours together before he died if only for those moments with him other than that this game was broken as hell lol
Some of those moments are the best. Same with me and my sister watching house hunters.
Did he die while playing the game? That story took a turn for the worse
Good times man, sorry for your loss.
Definitely mine too
Sry for your loss man. R.i.p.
10 years ago, I remember walking 2.5 miles with my 62 year old grandmother just to buy this game at Gamestop for $3.74. Worth it.
That un-ironically feels like a really wholesome thing. Grandma probably enjoyed spending time with you. Good on you 🙂
10 years ago? I wouldn't have paid half of that when it came out.
@@KingKhanate1997 agreed. Sounds like a cherished memory.
You're either a selfish kid or spoiled by your grandma.
Either way, what a waste of time.
At least do it for a good game, lol.
I just lost my grandmother who was yhe most important person in my life (except my son) and this is 100% something she would've done. Thank you.
S/N: Please no "sorry for your loss" or anything like that. I know you mean well and I 100% appreciate it but please don't.
It's ironic the same team who made this went on to make WWE All-Stars, arguably one of the best arcadey wrestling games ever made.
But the original, it felt like they were looking at Power Stone for inspiration, rather than a wrestling game. But, madness there's no tornado tag/battle royale mode.
Wait what!?!. First I heard about them doing that and Thrill Kill and that Wu Tang PS1 game........I miss the Backyard Wrestling games. Especially the second one
R.I.P
Randomly finding a Larry comment on a video just brings the biggest grin to my dumb mug. Hello, you.
I remember loving Backyard Wrestling. To be fair I was in high school, an ICP fan, and an actual backyard wrestler
Cool nostalgia
Like wise lol I literally only rented it cause I saw ICP on it when I went to Hollywood Video
What was your character gimmick ?????
Garbage wrestling.... what a joke
@@noneofuourbusiness crybaby
Definitely tried this at home.. my friends and I started a BYW group shortly after this came out 😆
LOL this was during the period where I loved absolutely everything wrestling related so of course I loved this game to death.
There was so much more going to be added to the second game that would have made it more fun to play and would have been more polished. Like the first Backyard Wrestling game, Kevin Gill told me a lot of things about this one.
-Jeff Hardy and other wrestlers were going to be in the game. Jeff was independent in 2003 and Kevin got on really well with him when he was making the game but never got in touch after he gave his permission to put him in the game. His model and his moveset were complete but was cut. He can be seen very briefly in an early trailer. CM PUNK was also going to be in the game but he was in Ring Of Honor at the time. RAVEN was also considered but he was contractually obligated to TNA at the time and Kevin really wanted him to be in the game, but it fell through.
-Someone from Interscope Records approached him and said FRED DURST would like to be a part of the game. Yep, FRED DURST! He refused immediately saying it completely goes against the games tone.
-Kevin actually voices four wrestlers in the game.
-The custom characters you fight in Talk Show Mode were made by one of the character modellers. Kevin hated them.
-Eidos was going through structural and management changes at the time and they also didn't like the game. This is why the game didn't turn out fully polished.
-The commercial for the game, which features ICP, was drastically different at one point. The master of "OH MY GOD" himself, Joey Styles, was originally going to provide a voiceover for the commercial!
We don't care
@@dopemangotem8964 Execpt 10s of thousands of people are tuning in to watch this video? Speak for yourself and have some manners when someone brings genuine information about the topic at hand.
While those additions to the roster def would've helped,I think what really held the game back were the boring career mode and the stages.There were less stages in the first game but they had more character
not having fred durst was a huge mistake, but i really doubt they said no because it didn't "fit the games tone" it fit the games tone perfectly, ICP just did not like korn, eminem and kid rock, who at the time fred durst was very closely associated with.
@@dopemangotem8964 why are you watching the video then. For this video those are some interesting timbits
I was deployed to Qatar when the second game came out, and I ordered it online. I remember laughing hysterically when seeing how exaggerated Shaggy's arm muscle was, and seeing how svelte Violent J was. Terrible game, but I had a blast seeing how flattering the characters were rendered.
Lol, I also laughed how skinny Violent J was
Now he's that skinny in real life.
I admire your dedication to your audience to play and review these lol
Ahh that CKY intro. Goosebumps and nostalgia
So many epic memories playing these games, they definitely gave the term "extreme" new meaning. Good times
So true, Id'e tell some of my friends who hated on it that you can't compare it to No Mercy or the Smackdown series. It's just some all out free for all fun. Not meant for simulation
Calling this game is epic but I respect if u had fun times with it but the game really sucked lol and was clunky
I'm a Juggalo + lifelong wrestling fan. This game was bound to be a hit for me!!
Time to make a Cpn vs chuck in the create a player mode
@@jimmymetal713 I swear
Whoop whoop!
@@Rob_Thorsman whoop whoop homie
You gotta hand it to ICP. They had their own federation, they wrestled in all of the major promotions, WWF/ECW/WCW/TNA, they apologized to Terry Funk, Mick Foley and Sabu for using unauthorized footage of them from Japan for their own videos and even went out to the Double Cross Ranch to personally pay Terry Funk $4000 as an added apology and have held events paying both the wrestlers who attended well and legends who made the shows too, and as crappy as they were, they even made two video games. A lot of people just dismiss them for their music and image and its understandable because its not for everyone's taste, but for wrestling, they really contributed a lot to the business in their own way and its somewhat of an unsung story. I remember the games being playable only for so long before it got somewhat forgotten about after a while, and its too much of a niche product for a fad that sorta faded away into mid 2000's, although there are certainly still backyard wrestling groups out there and more and more wrestlers are starting out in them.
It would be neat to see another one of its kind, but its likely not gonna happen anytime soon unless they made a more serious go at it being a wrestling game. Still, any game with New Jack, Vampiro and I think Gupta was based on Sonjay Dutt in it is worth it. Hat's off to the Insane Clown Posse. You should probably cover them as well.
Your comment is to long whole reads books as comments.
Whoop Whoop!!!
Today becomes History
History becomes Legend
Legend becomes Myth
Whoop Whoop!!!
I love the late 90’s/early 00’s wrestling games.
Woop woop time to get the hatchet and faygo moon mist.
I bought one of these games back in the day at gamestop for I think $5 Being able to download the soundtrack to the xbox's hard drive made it worth it.
Was looking forward to your Sunday upload, found out yesterday I have covid so gonna have some time off work going back and re-watching RtW. Thank you Bio-Man.
Get well homie!
Get well soon James!
Thank you fellas for the well wishes means alot to me, gonna be laid up for about a week or so. Like I said gonna be going back and re watching reliving the war. Hands down one of if not the best wrestling UA-cam series going today.
I respect you bio man
I tested positive Friday myself...after going so long and not catching it
As someone who was backyard wrestling in the early 2000s,we knew every single person on the game. Most of them were reoccurring people on the 7 backyard wrestling dvds that came out
I remember Victor Lucas and Tommy Tallarico reviewing the sequel on their show Judgment Day a couple years back, it was hilarious. 😅🤣
I was not expecting “JEEEEEZUUUUS!” Shoutouts to Botchamania! 🤣
i used to rent these all the time from the blockbuster by my house when my cousin would visit...good times !
Never knew this game existed. This is why I appreciate your videos. You cover topics people don’t talk about.
Man the memories I have of this game. Coming home on a Friday after school, have a friend over go rent this game at a video store and then just play in all weekend. It was unreal
@@ridanann 😂😂😂
I think you've got the developer confused. It seems like there's two companies called Paradox: the one that turned into Midway LA, and the one whose logo you used in the vid, who are from Sweden and make strategy games.
only the logo the first logo is Swedish not us
I actually like Backyard Wrestling for what it was. Was a huge ICP fan at the time. LOVE the Soundtrack 😎😎😎🔥🔥🔥
The soundtracks in both games are brilliant! Was really surprised how much licensed music they got in there.
I had to pause the video after 10:58 because the koopa shell noise you added cracked me up for a good 30 seconds. Well played, sir. Well played.
Never played or ever here of these games. May have to go out and give the second one a try. Thanks Wrestling Bios for the awesome video. You hit it out of the park again.
I have so many good memories with both games. I remember in the second game, the physical damage of the wrestlers would carry over if you restart the match so I restarted one match like 10 times and both guys were just a bloody mess but they kept fighting lol great nostalgia
One of my brothers got this game for his birthday when it was just released. We had ENDLESS fun. Multi-player was absolutely amazing.
Those two games will always hold a special place in my heart. They were some of the funnest games out at the time. I can't say enough good things about these games. Mad Dog20 was my go to character. I can't remember which game it was, but once you can make your own character and create your finisher it's incredible.
P.s. the game is much easier to learn on easy/normal - it's not nearly as fast.
Thanks for the incredible Nostalgia, as I haven't seen these games in probably 15 years.
It's kick or be kickin' my man and his allusion is top notch
This brought back so many fond memories, my friends and I used to play these games all the time. They weren’t the best games but man we’re they fun
The cKy intro had me hooked straight away!
Loved the video and the ending remix of Down With The Clown!
i loved both of these growin up!!!
Love these vids, man
I liked the second one more than the first BYW game, mostly because the second one didn't have heat seeking weapons that would follow you wherever you went, when an opponent threw them. I hated that.😂
I did like a lot of the games soundtrack though.
Worth it just to see New Jack in a game... Discovered Nick Mondo from playing too, as well as introducing me to Body Count!!
Another awesome upload from the greatest wrestling channel on the planet!
I did own the original BYW game, for the PS2, back in the day. I didn’t really get into it too much. I wasn’t a fan of BYW and was comparing it to other wrestling games I had been playing at the time. I never played the second BYW game. I also can’t remember both games being positively received or reviewed back in the day either.
Thanks for the look back on both games.
Growing up as a juggalo I love these games
I respect you Bios man.
Loved these games lol great memories of battling friends
I cannot say enough how much i love this channel, i wish i had some money to give it but im afraid i dont so all i can do is gush in the comments
Your commentary is LEGENDARY!!!
Heck yeah!! these 2 were surprisingly amazing.. to me
Your the best I love ever single one of your videos
I had a crappy day at work today hopefully this video will help me out
Dude ryan your commentary is hilarious
great videos bud
*I had a blast with both BYW games because of all wackiness & broken the gameplay was lol that what made it fun & funny to play*
The Legend of Backyard Bob
Never played these games. Always saw them on the shelves at video game stores. Was just never interested in them because I wasnt into backyard wrestling.
Great review.
Dude you played sporadic movement by CKY and thanked me on a video. From a fellow CKY guy, thanks a lot dude. -Jack Nugent
was NOT expecting that CKY edit at the beginning, pleasant surprise.
those playlists man, worth the money alone, almost.
You were right, that Commissioner is a real jam up guy
its kick or be kicken , that sid promo from reliving the war is a classic , i need to try to use that phrase more myself, but great video i enjoyed it, i remember playing this back in the day , i definitely didn't love it i much preferred some of the wwe games or def jam around that time period .
I mainly bought these back in the day because of Insane Clown Posse and Twiztid lol
Loved icp. Loved wrestling. Loved backyard wrestling. Loved games. So I absolutely loved these as a kid.
Never ever forgot that title screen music and it's been like 18 years
Great video once again my friend. Paradox also developed the X-Men Mutant Academy/Next Dimension trilogy along with the Sega 32X version of Blackthorne.
Sidenote: Monoxide and Rude Boy were rappers in ICPs orbit
Two video games it would be great to bring back those good memories of my life.
BYW there goes the neighborhood was 🔥 made me and friends wanted to start our own backyard wrestling company lol
Loved this game growing up, had a big deal to do with my interest in hardcore wrestling and introduced me to the ICP and twiztid!
For a minute I actually thought paradox interactive one of the greatest strategy game developers ever actually made these insane games. But I think you mixed up the logos for paradox development and paradox interactive.
Glad to see so much love for these games on this comment thread. These games are epic and such an awesome alternative to WWE. As someone who was in his early teens just got exposed to ECW and then got this game man I was in heaven. Good times still play these games today.
Never played this game but great video as always
New Jack was the greatest wrestler/philosopher of all time. RIP.
Haha yes!!! Looooved this game as a kid ( the first 1 )
When I was a kid, I liked the first one and hated the second one lol
I loved these games back in the day. You need to play with friends.
I remember playing those games when I was in high school 🏫, especially creating people randomly! Good times☺️
I remember the backyard games. Especially the music video that came with the first Backyard game. I think I loved the music video more than the game. I didn't know the guys who developed the games also developed ML Shaolin Monks. That is very cool
Jay FNG lol, damn that takes me back. When i had an action replay on Xbox i think most of the saves i used were his
My parents couldn’t afford here comes the pain looking back and I got this on sale I remember I think for 10-20 bucks, played it non stop, one of my favorite games of my child hood, as an adult you may not think that’s great but that was every thing 8 year old me wanted in a wrestling game lol
I respect how you looked at both sides. And at the very least you are being honest. I prefer someone looking at the game being honest. Dont bs me or pretend to like it. If you dont like it you dont like it. I myself enjoyed backyard wrestling but thats just me.
I played a lot of BYW2 back in the day. I like the over-the-top cartooniness of it, mixed with the soundtrack, video clips, and "underground" wrestlers.
I got both Backyard Wrestling 1 Don't Try This At Home and Backyard Wrestling 2 There Goes The Neighborhood on the Sony PS2 and it was fun playing them and I watched old backyard wrestling videos on UA-cam.
Oh man taht first match !!! Love that script !!!
Had some fun times playing the sequel in 2 player mode. The homemade wine probably had a lot to do with that.
Had both of these
Ah, ps2 memories.
I love both of those games. I'm also a ICP fan and a wrestling fan but is what it is not everyones choice of a game
Your reaction to the wrestler called Hernia.... lol hilarious
This game got me into American Hi-Fi.
I was waiting for Zandig, and I wasn't disappointed
Kitana is based on Kitana Baker, who was one of the Miller Lite catfight girls - they were part of a segment at WrestleMania XIX, and she was also one of the HLA lesbians at Unforgiven 2002.
Hi Mate, you used the Paradox Interactive logo when stating the devs were Paradox Development, Paradox Interactive known today for huge grand strategy titles like Stellaris and Crusader Kings had nothing to do with the Paradox who made this game or the game itself, would be quite amazing history if so haha. FYI though.
When I was younger my former stepbrother had this game for Xbox because he is a huge ICP fab and it was pretty fun
I grew up playing this game as a kid but even then I played it ironically and thought the whole backyard wrestling thing was dumb but still great memories playing it
This was a fun game to rent! Create a wrestler feature was way too limited, but it was funny giving a big fat dude a “diva-style” walk and slap as a finisher 👋
These games have me thinking of that "BMX XXX" game that came out around this time.
Man I loved these games even if they were rough around the edges
Being a juggalo and backyard wrestling fan I enjoyed both yea they are tough but still got love for them
Love how you open video with CKY song
These games were hella fun
Its funny because Wrestling Bios strikes me as someone who is/was/would've been an ICP fan. But yeah these games were truly appreciated by fans also for those wanting an "NFL Blitz" type experience but for wrestling games.
NFL Blitz and NFL Blitz 2000 were great games
+1 for using Cky Sporadic Movement for the intro
I love these games it's one few games were you can play as icp and twiztid whoop whoop
I played both games back in 2016 out of curiosity. Yes, the games sucked, but adding my own custom soundtracks made it worth it. I added my own custom tracks with mostly Swedish Eurodance and Hands Up! music.
